Enterprises running large-scale AI, HPC, and analytics workloads need more than fast compute, they need high-performance storage that keeps up. Oracle ZFS Storage delivers blazing-fast data access, seamless integration with Oracle Cloud, and a unified experience across cloud and on-premises environments.

Built for Oracle Private and Public Clouds

Oracle has recently announced Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance ZS11-2, a new version of its ZFS Storage solution for on-premises deployments. Oracle ZFS Storage technology is designed to deliver consistent functionality and performance whether deployed on-premises or in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). With a shared codebase across deployment models, it enables uniform management, simplifies migration, and supports hybrid cloud architectures. Oracle ZFS Storage is an integral part of Oracle engineered systems such as Oracle Compute Cloud@Customer and Oracle Private Cloud Appliance and is also used as external storage for Oracle engineered systems.

Key capabilities include:

  • Unified storage experience across on-premises and cloud
  • Seamless data replication and disaster recovery
  • Scalable architecture supporting up to 30PB on-prem and 1PB in OCI
  • Integrated analytics for monitoring and optimization

These features help enterprises build flexible, resilient infrastructures that support dynamic workloads without sacrificing performance or manageability.

Optimized for HPC, AI/ML, and Analytics Workloads

High-Performance Computing (HPC), Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML), and Analytics workloads demand robust storage systems that can handle intensive data processing and complex computations swiftly and efficiently. These workloads generate and process large volumes of data that require high-speed data access and substantial storage capacity. Oracle ZFS meets these demands with fast access, high capacity, and intelligent data optimization, as it offers high-speed data access, high-capacity storage, data integrity, storage optimization, and support for multiple protocols.

Oracle ZFS Storage is particularly well suited for:

  • HPC simulations requiring large sequential reads and writes
  • AI/ML training workloads involving massive datasets and model iterations
  • Analytics pipelines performing real-time ingestion and transformation of data

By combining performance, scalability, and integration, ZFS Storage ensures these workloads are completed faster, more efficiently, and with greater reliability.

Some of the Key Features

  • High Performance Architecture: A hybrid architecture with DRAM and SSD caching, guided by smart algorithms (MRU/MFU/LRU), delivers lightning-fast read/write speeds. For write-heavy workloads like HPC and AI training, ZIL and logbias tuning enable low-latency data persistence. Re-ARC boosts performance further with in-memory deduplication—ideal for repetitive training data or simulations.
  • Intelligent Data Management: Advanced features like Hybrid Columnar Compression, deduplication, and thin provisioning maximize efficiency and cut costs—ideal for data-heavy analytics. Built-in storage analytics offer real-time insights to optimize performance and scale smarter.
  • Seamless Integration Across Cloud and On-Premises: Oracle ZFS Storage seamlessly integrates with OCI, enabling cloud-native workflows, cross-region replication, and hybrid deployments. Easily build AI models on-premises and deploy in the cloud—or ensure high availability across HPC clusters. Oracle ZFS Storage is a high-performance, cloud-ready platform built for the most demanding AI, HPC, and analytics workloads—delivering the speed, scalability, and insight needed to thrive in a cloud-first world.
