Snap Clone using Solaris File System (ZFS)
• Uses a single stock Solaris 11.1+ image – physical or virtual [and NOT the Sun ZS3 Appliance ]
• Supports any kind of storage – NAS or SAN
• For SAN, mount luns as raw disk and format with ZFS filesystem
• Does NOT require the snapshot/clone licenses from the storage vendor, these features are available for free
• Additional features include compression, deduplication, IO caching, etc
• HA has to be handled externally either via Solaris Clusters, or by using HA features of the underlying hypervisor

DB Clone and Refresh – Admin Flow
Enable direct clones from production databases Works with patched or upgraded binary• Enable direct clones from production databases
• Provide automation to refresh the clone with data
changes in production
• Works for storage snapshots, RMAN backups, data
pump exports, etc
• Includes masking & subsetting
• Works with patched or upgraded binary
• If using clone as test master, allows self service users to
refresh existing clones with new data
• Reduces administrative overhead
