Cloud computing provider Savvis Why "block-level storage"

One, storage resources on demand corresponding

The storage resources provided by the compellent for cloud storage are no longer static in number of terabytes, but are dynamically distributed in real time with application needs, without the need for division intervention and full transparency of applications. The specific performance in:

1. Storage Capacity: Enterprise computing and storage of data volume is dynamic change, mainly the uncertainty of dynamic increase, compellent system can provide real-time dynamic capacity (do not need to like traditional storage space), only the written data occupy storage resources, accurate to the block level.

2. Storage quality: Dynamic changes in the data activity in enterprise operations and storage (including active data, semi active data, inactive historical data), compellent systems can dynamically provide storage resources (high speed storage resources, medium-speed storage resources, low-cost low-cost storage resources) based on data activity. Accurate to block level.

II. Storage Data Continuous protection

Cloud computing services for a number of enterprises, especially enterprise-class cloud computing, for the continued online data is much higher than the public cloud computing platform stringent requirements. In this way, the simplicity of continuous data protection and instant recovery becomes very important. The continuous data protection CDP feature of the compellent system can help cloud computing providers to easily recover the lost, disorganized business data from any logical failure in minutes at any time to the normal state of any minute of the day's transactions. Also, the recovery process is extremely simple and can be done with a few clicks of the mouse.

Three, the platform omni-directional virtualization Fusion

The virtualization infrastructure of cloud computing is not just the virtualization of networks, servers, and storage, but the full integration of networks, servers, and storage virtualization. Compellent's block-level virtualization Architecture Foundation identifies its unique advantages for Cisco, VMware Virtualization platform support.

Iv. cost control and real-time accounting

The cloud storage platform built by the

Compellent is no longer a static XXTB fixed capacity for enterprise users, but a dynamic resource on demand, accurate to block level, in terms of quantity and quality. This way to ensure that the cloud user resources to protect the premise of the cloud computing service providers to save a lot of costs. The chargeback function of compellent can provide real-time usage report of storage resources for application, so it is easy to realize real-time resource accounting and billing with accurate data block level.
