I'm looking at a new web server for the company, and am considering Solaris specifically because of ZFS. (Oracle's lousy sales model-- specifically the unwillingness to give a price for a Solaris support contract without my having to send multiple emails to multiple addresses-- may yet push me back to my default CentOS platform, but to the extent that Oracle is even in the running it's because of ZFS.) -- Dave Pooser, ACSA Manager of Information Services Alford Media http://www.alfordmedia.com _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
