UNF-GX (Unified ZFS Storage Plane)
UNF-GX manages massive scale-out bare metal ZFS storage arrays under a single API plane, offering cluster-wide volume pooling, multi-tenant network policies, and active-active fabric paths.
- Memory Cache (ARC)91% Utilization
- Active Cluster Links4 parallel paths
- Multipath Aggregate Bandwidth38.2 GB/s
Core Engineering Modules
Decoupled functional kernels managing APIs, protocols, and hardware integrations.
Unified REST API Interface
Exposes administrative functions over a secure, rate-limited REST API, allowing automation scripts to provision volumes on-the-fly.
Multi-Tenant Network Partition
Isolates client traffic across up to 1024 distinct VLAN or VXLAN networks, preventing unauthorized data inspection.
Active-Active Path Coordinator
Spreads disk I/O demands dynamically over 4 distinct system fiber-channel or ethernet links, optimizing resource throughput.

Unified Appliance Overview
Your single-pane operational command center. The UNF-GX dashboard surfaces storage capacity, service health, active alerts, and recent jobs — giving your team instant awareness of the entire appliance state.
Key Capabilities
- Capacity entitlement tracking: licensed vs. used usable with threshold warnings
- Service health summary for ZFS, NFS, SMB, iSCSI, and S3 at a glance
- Active alert counts with severity breakdown and quick-access links
- Recent jobs table with status timeline and auto-refresh
- Appliance identity card: series, hostname, version, and operational mode
Enterprise Product Comparison
Validating UNF-GX performance capabilities against Legacy SAN Controllers.
| Evaluation Parameters | UNF-GX Engine | Legacy SAN Controllers |
|---|---|---|
| Multi-Node clustering | Native active-active cluster architecture | Active-passive failover lag (Takes up to 60s) |
| Bare-Metal ZFS control | Built-in ZFS orchestration layers | Raw block storage only (Lacks logical filesystems) |
| Software-defined API | Fully programmable REST API controllers | Command Line Interface (CLI) or serial console only |
| Cost scaling profile | Flat node-based annual subscription | Pay-per-drive slot licensing structures |
