Benefits

ZSS offers the following benefits:

• Uses storage space more efficiently and strong guarantee that usage is always byte-accurate
• Read objects with greater efficiency: single seek in most cases.
• Write objects with greater efficiency: data is appended to the end of one zone that ZSS maintains.
• Improve IOPS and lowered latency. In most cases, no actual I/O occurs when trying to read non-existent slices.
• Remove the underlying file system. Giving direct access to the application.
• Perform at the same level for long periods at a wide range of fills due to the reduced load on underlying drives.
• Client level durability notification when the data is on disk
• Compaction optimized for temporal locality deletion
