Sun was tight lipped too, yes, but information leaked through the open or semi-open software development practices in Solaris. If you saw some feature pushed to some gate you had no guarantee that it would remain there or be supported, but you had a pretty good inkling as to whether the engineers working on it intended it to remain there. If you can't get something out of your rep, you might try reading the tea leaves (sketchy business). But ultimately you need to be prepared for any product's EOL. You can expect some amount of warning time about EOLs, but legacy has a way of sticking around, so write plan for how to migrate data and where to, then put the plan in a drawer somewhere (and update it as necessary).

Still a fully supported product from Oracle: http://www.oracle.com/us/products/servers-storage/storage/storage- software/qfs-software/overview/index.html Yeah. But it seems no more updates since sun acquisition. Don't know Oracle's roadmap in aspect of data-tying. Thanks.

Or you could try asking on the SAMFS mailing list / discussion. I
believe that I have seen SAMFS/QFS folks from Oracle answer questions
there.
If Oracle is only willing to share (public) information about the
roadmap for products via official sales channels then there will be
lots of FUD in the market. Now, as to sharing futures and NDA
material, that _should_ only be available via direct Oracle channels
(as it was under Sun as well).
