As the internet becomes more deeply used, we are producing endless amounts of data that are inconsistent and large, often causing great distress to traditional storage architectures.
We know that traditional storage systems tend to use embedded system architectures, which are based on vertical extension (scale-up) design patterns, that is, we are expanding and upgrading in an established storage architecture. When the vertical expansion to a certain extent, the system will inevitably encounter performance bottlenecks. At this time, we need to buy more storage systems or larger storage systems, on the one hand, the complexity of the system topology, on the other hand, also spent a lot of money.
Cloud storage architectures require higher performance, more reliable, more scalable, and more cost-effective storage solutions.
The Scale-out storage based on X86 architecture plays an important role in the cloud storage environment, which provides a scalable platform with high performance, high reliability, low cost, low power consumption and easy management in a standardized and open platform.
