I have to admit that my virtualized servers are not running on top of |
18 |
ZFS-backed storage... because the company already has a quite sizable EMC |
19 |
VNX storage, and it's a shame to not use that behemoth... ;-) |

At the moment, the ZFS-backed storage is used to store our email archive |
22 |
system (using MailArchiva), and with more than 15'000 emails per day, it |
23 |
has been performing flawlessly. |

That said, when I was hunting around for information on ZFS before taking |
26 |
the plunge, a *lot* of discussion revolves around using ZFS as the storage |
27 |
back-end for virtualization, be it using KVM or VMware. |
