At the Innovative Data Infrastructure Forum, Huawei unveiled upgraded OceanStor Dorado all-flash storage and OceanProtect Backup Storage for all-flash data centres. These series have now been expanded to include a container storage solution, ransomware protection storage solution, and datacenter storage tool kit, advancing the push for ubiquitous, secure, and green data services.
Solid state disks (SSDs), which have high density, high reliability, low latency, and low power consumption, would typically account for over 90% of all storage space in an all-flash data centre. SSDs are ideal for organisations' core and developing services and applications. At the event, Huawei announced the full list of upgraded enterprise storage and data protection products. These include:
-
OceanStor Dorado all-flash storage: It is the industry's only storage system to provide active-active disaster recovery (DR) solutions for both SAN and NAS.
With 21 million IOPS, 0.05 ms latency, and 99.99999% reliability, OceanStor Dorado SAN storage provides efficient and reliable data services for databases and virtualisation applications.
OceanStor Dorado NAS storage comprehensively improves file-sharing applications. The global distributed file system outperforms the industry standard by 30%. The active-active DR and the tolerance of failure of seven out of eight controllers guarantee 99.99999 per cent reliability for NAS services. The NAS system provides industry-leading performance, always-on service, exceptional data security protection for typical file scenarios like CAD/CAE systems, carriers' CDR systems, PACS images, and financial bills.
-
The container storage solution for OceanStor Dorado NAS: This solution provides 30% faster resource scheduling and deployment, supporting cross-node data sharing, and on-demand application expansion without copying data. This meets the requirements of constantly-evolving data services.
-
OceanProtect Backup Storage: Inspired by F2F2X (Flash-to-Flash-to-Anything), this product provides 3x and 5x higher backup and recovery bandwidths than the industry average, and 72:1 data reduction ratio, helping users achieve efficient backup and recovery to address new challenges in data protection.
-
Huawei Ransomware Protection Storage Solution for primary (OceanStor Dorado) and backup (OceanProtect) storage: The solution provides complete storage protection to efficiently defend against ransomware assaults, hence saving businesses from ransomware-related damages.
-
Full-lifecycle data centre storage consolidation tool kit, incl. SmartIDC, MigrationDirector, and Data Management Engine (DME): SmartIDC provides one-click datacenter storage status insight; MigrationDirector implements all-online and -scenario, and automatic data migration; and DME enables intelligent data management, improving resource utilisation by 30% and O&M efficiency by five times.
Peter Kruth, Huawei Europe FSI (Financial Services Industry) CTO, said, "Huawei storage will continue to innovate based on technological breakthroughs and customer requirements. We aim to help customers build all-flash data centres, by providing data acceleration, data innovation, and green and low-carbon capabilities for ubiquitous data services."
