Syed,
    I have not seen this, it is informative.  I see a mention of NDMP, is this 
what the ZFS appliance uses to backup directly from the cell server , and avoid 
the compute node?


Thanks,
Mike

We are implementing Exadata and are in the process of evaluating backup 
appliances.  We are looking at the Oracle ZFS solution and the EMC Datadomain 
solution.  Anyone go through a similar evaluation recently?
Our storage folks seem to be leaning towards EMC because it has more 
administrative features (for things like replicating to a DR site).  

I remember hearing our ACS person mention that the ZFS appliance will backup 
Exadata databases going only through the storage cell and not the compute node. 
 I tried to find something to verify this but am unable to.  If true, this 
would make this decision pretty easy, if you can confirm or deny this as well I 
would appreciate that.

TIA,
Mike
