Oracle has launched its ZFS Storage Appliances, dubbed the ZS3 Series. This will enable customers to significantly improve operational efficiencies, reduce data centre costs, and increase business application performance, according to a company statement.

Powered by a cache architecture and multi-threaded symmetric multi processing operating system, the ZS3 Series has achieved the highest throughput, the lowest latency, and better price and performance when compared to similar NetApp, EMC, IBM, and HP systems, company officials said.

Oracle’s ZS3 Series storage enables customers to perform critical business functions faster, including optimizing supply chains, closing quarterly books, evaluating a greater number of investment scenarios, and accelerating database queries.

It also enables enterprises to respond to application needs dynamically while helping to reduce time-to-business value.

Amit Malhotra, Senior Director - Storage Sales, JAPAC and Asia Pacific at Oracle India said: “Oracle is co-engineering storage with its entire software and hardware stack to bring applications, data, and storage while using less physical storage capacity.”
