From YouTube: AddThis: Scaling Cassandra up and down into containers with ZFS

Description

Speaker: Chris Burroughs, Engineer

ZFS is an advanced file, raid, and volume management system originally developed by Sun Microsystems, 'The Last Word in File Systems' has been unavailable on Linux until recently. AddThis uses ZFS to more effectively scale up dedicated hardware, getting twice the performance at half the cost. ZFS is also fundamental to containerization, allowing nodes from multiple clusters to be co-located with safe persistent storage.
