greenBytes has a very well produced teaser commercial on their site.

Actually, I think it is one of the better commercials done by tech
companies in a long time. Do you grok it?

Do you grok it?Did I detect a (well-done) metaphor for shared ZFS? I must say that the videography itself is very nice. /dale

There''s a white paper here: http://blogs.sun.com/bobp/resource/greenbytes%20white%20paper.pdf>From page 4:ZFS+? reduces the capacity required for persistent data storage by performing non-destructive compression and data de-duplication operations ? natively and in-line with its normal operation. By utilizing wire speed compression, a 2:1 reduction is realized on exactly the type of data that are likely candidates for long term storage ? e-mail, user documents, and similar unstructured data types. Data de-duplication, creates even greater potential disk footprint savings, by automatically detecting and removing redundant data files so often encountered in business data, such as redundant e-mail attachments, document header pages and common user files. -B -- Brandon High bhigh at freaks.com "I''m not against the police; I''m just afraid of them." -Alfred Hitchcock
