    Most important is the success of the Illumos or Open-ZFS platform.
    LX containers are from Joyent (btw have you read this article
    https://www.infoq.com/news/2016/03/containers-summit-nyc ), SMB2+ and
    sequential resilvering are or may come from Nexenta and native
    encryption from ZoL with many features or additions that strengthen the
    platform from others versus Oracle or Linux.

    ESXi, SmartOS or Proxmox are very good as a cloud or virtualisation
    platform where you can run or use ZFS  but OmniOS is a perfect NAS/SAN
    filer or server OS with the option to run a Linux container. This is
    indeed new.

    Thanks to all
