as500g: "Terminator" of traditional low utilization storage

As a wave storage in the end of the main product, the AS500 series occupies about 25% of the wave storage sales, to "big" price to become a number of industry customers it upgrades preferred products. Recently as500g online centralized storage, for an experimental middle school integration of existing education data and more effective management, so that the utilization of storage resources increased by one times, business online time from 10 days to 10 minutes to ensure that the school teaching task smoothly.

"Three low" into information construction resistance

As a key middle school in the province, an experimental middle school continuously strengthens the information construction of teaching and scientific research. Its information center has become the hub of school information system, with electronic identity management and authentication system, information Service portal system, office automation system, comprehensive educational administration system, network teaching system, financial payroll management system and other application systems.

Under the traditional IT architecture, the DAS Direct-attached storage used in this middle school gradually exposes three short boards, such as low resource utilization, poor security and bad scalability.

First of all, under the traditional it framework, the middle school storage product Procurement model is "one time to buy foot", the system is often used to keep up with the application, resulting in idle equipment, storage resources utilization is less than 30%.

Secondly, the storage system carries the core data of teaching, and the high availability of data is very important. For example, in the campus card applications, if there is data loss, the campus life of teachers and students will cause a little trouble. This means that the secondary storage system must have the ability to withstand disaster and be able to recover quickly after a disaster.

In addition, with the popularization of online classrooms and the explosive growth of students ' online access to data, the expansion of storage systems in this secondary school has become ever more demanding. On the new storage system, the high school's openness and compatibility to products and solutions also put forward higher requirements to avoid the formation of "Network islands."

as500g: For an experimental middle school it construction "empowering"

After learning about the needs of an experimental school, the wave area product manager leads the technical engineer many times to visit, has made the system diagnosis to the school it construction, proposed takes the national as500g on-line centralized storage as the core, unifies the original old storage equipment, constructs the unified storage resource pool, for an experimental middle school informationization construction speeds up.

Discard the original data to rely on the server storage in the local space storage, wave using advanced SAN technology, using the wave of optical fiber storage as500g as the core storage devices, FC San online centralized storage, and configure two 8Gb fiber switches, the decision to prepare redundancy.

AS500G's stable performance and powerful data protection capabilities are also one of the most favored priorities of the secondary school.

Follow the wave of storage modular design concept, controller, CACHE, fans, power and other key components are redundant design, to avoid single point of failure; The dual controller system provides a reliable guarantee for data storage and avoids the loss of single controller downtime for each application of the experimental middle school; using Bbu+flash, The cached data can be saved by accidental power outages The service can be resumed immediately after the power supply is restored; Data link redundancy prevents the system from single point of failure, greatly improves the reliability of the data transmission, adopts the highly available module (IHA), and monitors the state of the response controller in real time, and can do the fault detection and isolation and processing Provides a solid guarantee for the continuity of the middle school business.

as500g using full redundancy design, speed up data security

At the same time, the wave as500g for the experimental middle school future business expansion also left room. When new storage devices are linked to the SAN, capacity and zone partitioning can be used more efficiently by the hosts in the San, which enables dynamic expansion of storage capacity. AS500G supports up to 256 LUNs, supports online dynamic RAID group expansion and dynamic logical volume expansion, supports multilevel disk expansion cabinets (level 3), and the system currently supports up to 256TB maximum capacity to meet the campus data storage needs of the experimental middle school in recent years.

Customer Benefits: High utilization rate, fast on-line, flexible expansion

To break the drawbacks of the original local storage mode, as500g makes the use of teaching resources easier.

The teaching resources of this high school are integrated with data, the storage space will allocate the storage resources dynamically to each application according to the specific demand. According to the wave of the project leader, in the middle school testing process, the utilization of storage resources from the original less than 30%, increased to more than 60%, increased by more than one times, which means that the middle school information system each physical hard disk resource utilization significantly increased, thereby reducing the total acquisition cost (TCO).

as500g for an experimental middle school to promote resource utilization

The school's information system has built strong data "barriers" through as500g, now the continuity of the middle school's information center business, the new business line cycle from the original nearly 10 days, shortened to 10 minutes, improve the efficiency of school business deployment.

In addition, the wave online centralized storage is ready for incoming new applications. as500g has good scalability and smooth upgrade capabilities, avoiding the negative impact of storage device expansion capacity on normal teaching and learning, and filling the energy of informatization for teaching.
