Oracle Exadata v2 is the Sun Flash Accelerator F20 PCIe card, with
48 or 96 GB of SLC, a built-in SAS controller and a super-capacitor
for cache protection. http://www.sun.com/storage/disk_systems/sss/f20/specs.xml
At the Exadata-2 announcement, Larry kept saying that it wasn't a
disk. But there
was little else of a technical nature said, though John did have one
to show.
RAC doesn't work with ZFS directly, so the details of the
configuration should prove
interesting.

Exadata 2 is built on Linux from what I read, so I'm not entirely
sure how it would leverage ZFS, period. I hope I heard wrong or the
whole announcement feels like a bit of a joke to me.
It is not clear to me. They speak of "storage servers" which would be
needed to
implement the shared storage. These are described as Sun Fire X4275
loaded
with the FlashFire cards. I am not aware of a production-ready Linux
file system
which implements a hybrid storage pool. I could easily envision these
as being
OpenStorage appliances.
