Two DAFS demonstration at Oracle Open World showed Oracle's 9i database system accessing data files stored on a Network Appliance Filer. One of the demonstrations used Emulex's VI/IP Host Bus Adapters and Gigabit Ethernet as the transport; the other used Intel Host Channel Adapters and a 2.5 Gb/s InfiniBand link. In both cases, DAFS was transparently integrated with Oracle 9i using the new Oracle Disk Management (ODM) interface. In the Ethernet demo, the database server was a Sun server running Solaris 8. In the InfiniBand demo, the database server was an Intel server running Linux. See this press release for more details.
