A Powerful Alternative to Expensive Enterprise Scale-Out NAS

ZFS is a powerful and flexible file system well-suited to handling large amounts of data and providing data protection and management capabilities that are difficult to find in other file systems. Despite its advantages, ZFS has a significant limitation - it can only scale up and not scale out. In response to this, Arcitecta has developed a solution that combines the power of ZFS with the scalability of Mediaflux to create a breakthrough scale-out ZFS solution.
