New features
• Support the deduplication data function of flash media to further improve the utilization efficiency of storage capacity
The SmartSAN feature supports the automation configuration, which automatically discovers and creates San Zoning managed by the storage target port without the need to configure the host and volume in advance
• Three Data Center storage-level disaster recovery technologies that support the same range of midrange entry-level, midrange enterprise-level, and high-end enterprise-level products. Each controller comes with an IP disaster preparedness and replication interface. Disaster Preparedness technology can be combined with streamlined configuration, asynchronous snapshot technology to reduce the cost of link replication, * * * version can support unified management of SAN and Nas dual-live + three-center disaster preparedness solutions
• Support fine-grained QoS controls that allow you to set IOPS, bandwidth, and latency for each volume to ensure a predictable level of service for your application, workload, and tenant, the time delay of the controllable application is less than 0.5 ms
The advanced architecture makes the H P family of storage stand out
The three-tier virtualization architecture provides high-performance and automated optimization that can easily handle the hybrid load of cloud computing, virtualization, and data center integration in an enterprise data center. It can be extended from two controllers to multiple controllers. PCI-E bus interconnection between controllers provides horizontal and vertical three-dimensional expansion, supports more than 32 terabytes of cache, optimizes IO performance, and reduces access latency. The controller engine is completely physically independent from each other, and all core components such as processor/cache/front-end card/back-end card in the controller engine are completely private. San, Nas, and Object Storage are integrated under the same architecture to meet a variety of different access requirements. In order to optimize the architecture of flash memory, it realizes the fusion of flash memory and mechanical hard disk, provides the optimization of data access of flash memory, and provides two-level adaptive cache of flash memory and the function of data auto-stratification.
High availability allows users to rest easy
High availability of up to 99.9999% , end-to-end data consistency checking of T10-PI, four-control cache holding function, cross-disk cabinets RAID can achieve cage-level security, further data protection can be achieved by cloning, snapshot and remote replication software, as well as integrated backup functions
Simple and efficient, reduce the overall cost of users
Streamlining configuration and deduplication can reduce user capacity by up to 75% . Graphical management interface and report function, SAN network automatic configuration, quick installation wizard and intelligent automatic optimization function can reduce the user's management time up to 90%
Provides all enterprise-level storage capabilities
It not only provides cloning, snapshots, and remote data replication for traditional enterprise storage, but also provides VMWare Vaai, Vasa integration, Microsoft Hyper-V integration, and Open Stack integration for the next generation of enterprise data centers, at the same time, it also provides the functions of fast RAID recovery, data optimization software, perfect QOS control, storage partition, storage cluster, three data center disaster recovery, high availability among arrays and online data migration
With the H3C CF Peer Motion function, it can form a storage federation cluster with H3C CF high-end model storage without additional gateway, the data can be transferred on-line according to the policy of performance, capacity and so on, which is transparent to the host platform
Support for cloud backup features that allow data to be backed up directly to a public or private cloud
Advantage
1. Converged Storage Architecture: SAN, Nas, and Object Storage can be implemented on the same Storage, and different types of H3C CF Storage can be synchronized and heterogeneous data replication, storage federation can be formed between different types of CF devices
2. CPU + ASIC chip: the advanced 5th generation ASIC chip can easily deal with the mixed Io load in the virtual environment and cloud computing by implementing the functions of compact configuration, deletion and RAID operation in the way of hardware acceleration, enables both transaction-intensive and throughput-intensive workloads to run on the same storage resources at the same time without resource contention
3. Real multi-control system: Multi-controller architecture, multi-controller directly interconnects with high bandwidth and low delay PCI-E bus, multi-controller can access the same LUN space concurrently, it ensures that the performance increases linearly with the increase of controller data, and it can keep the high performance of storage in the case of multi-controller failure
Four. Storage Intel Virtualization Technology: ensures high IO performance, no hot drives, and many-to-many high-speed rebuilds in the event of a hard drive failure, different RAID types such as RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 can exist simultaneously on the same hard disk
5. High Availability: up to 99.9999% availability, provides T10-PI conformance data detection protection from host HBA ports to storage array hard disks, ensures data integrity, and has high data availability features, provides storage-based data copy protection function, data can be written to storage according to the policy to create 2-4 copies of data to protect data security; in addition, storage system supports at least one hard disk expansion cabinet power down or failure without data loss, application without interruption, to provide expansion cabinet-level data protection mechanism
6. High Availability: create no less than a 65536 of virtual volumes and no less than 16,000 host connections for a variety of existing IT environments
7.Enterprise functions: has a strong snapshot, cloning, compact configuration, a key to delete, compression, automatic layering, RAID type conversion, storage, federal, flash for heterogeneous storage data migration, data protection solution disaster and disaster with asynchronous, 3 dc, double, double live + 3 enterprise functions such as dc
8.Heterogeneous storage virtualization functions: to realize the CF series stored on third-party storage array of heterogeneous over different manufacturers, to support the mainstream storage vendor products, implement the data migration, etc 。
