You’re absolutely right that ZFS — while extremely robust for data integrity, snapshots, and bit rot protection — does have its limitations when it comes to clustered or distributed environments. It’s a fantastic choice for single-node systems or even dual-node HA, but once you’re scaling into multi-petabyte, clustered storage with unified namespace requirements, it can become complex and performance-limited unless heavily abstracted.
I’d be very interested in learning more about how Swiss Vault Systems is clustering CF1000 units into a single mountable namespace. That kind of horizontal scalability and unified management is exactly where many ZFS-based setups begin to show their age, particularly in small and mid-enterprise environments where simplicity and expansion flexibility matter.
As for a direct filesystem expert on our side — NASCompares doesn’t have a dedicated internal team for filesystem development, but I’d be happy to continue the conversation myself or put you in contact with a few industry voices we work with on these topics.
