Perspectives

"ZFS is a bullet proof file system and volume manager that's free. It affords all the features of expensive add-ons as an easy to use, no-cost component of the Solaris 10 OS. Talking as someone who manages a budget, that is a great thing. With Solaris 10, Sun has tapped back into the spirit of innovation that made it a market leader and the inclusion of ZFS in Solaris 10 exemplifies that spirit."
