rsync.net: ZFS Replication to the cloud is finally here—and it’s fast

Love that add they have pictured in the article. "rsync.net now supports ZFS send and receive over SSH. If you're not sure what that means, our product is not for you."

And while ZFS replication techniques are burgeoning today, you must actually begin by examining the technology that ZFS is slowly supplanting.
Um, today? Is today in 2005?

@scottalanmiller No, 2015.

How is ZFS replication burgeoning. It's ancient tech at this point.

It is barely 10 years old. that is not ancient by any measure. Nor is it widely deployed (my own opinion). Yes, new deployments may be ZFS, but there is a much larger base that is already installed and not using ZFS

Ten years old is what I had pointed out specifically. A full decade is pretty ancient by filesystem standards. The install base of ZFS, I'm guessing, hit its zenith some time ago. It's a Solaris-native technology and no new systems are moving towards it but some are moving away. Mac OSX had it for a while and removed it. Linux has it now, but that's about as mature as it will be as BtrFS is actively replacing it.
With Solaris on the decline and BtrFS on the rise, it's hard to think of ZFS as a burgeoning technology now that its heyday is probably a bit behind us and it is anything but new so it doesn't qualify in that respect either.
