ZFS+

ZFS+ is a combined file system and logical volume manager software subsystem initially released under the Common Development and Distribution License (CDDL). It is based on ZFS, originally developed by Sun Microsystems, with proprietary data deduplication features added by GreenBytes and subsequently made proprietary for a storage system product.[1] GreenBytes originally owned the trademark on ZFS+, not to be confused with the ZFS trademark currently held by Oracle Corporation. (GreenBytes itself is now owned by Oracle.)

Products

GreenBytes created a storage appliance, called Cypress NAS Filer, originally based upon the Sun Microsystems x86-64-based Sun Fire X4500 platform, and bundled their ZFS+ implementation as a value-add technology. GreenBytes claimed their ZFS+ technology could reduce storage power consumption by 50%.

In 2009, GreenBytes relaunched its technology under a new name, GBFS (GreenBytes File System).[2]

gollark: Oh, maybe you can randomly win the lottery or something, but it's entirely random and extremely rare. And it doesn't actually fix all your problems.
gollark: You can't *win* life, why should petcruel be different?
gollark: I think this came from a discussion about helloboi's virtual pet game.
gollark: Better idea: a command which globally disables itself once run.
