Cloud storage Contest: Dawning Parastor parallel Storage System

With the rapid development of information technology, the local application gradually turns to the network application, and the high performance computing is transformed from the traditional host mode to the networked cluster, and the networked storage has occupied the mainstream of the storage system. With the great progress of technology, network communication and information storage, especially the rapid development of High-performance computing and application software, host-based storage System can not meet the demand of application system, and traditional networked storage devices are becoming the bottleneck of performance of the whole application system.





in the past two years, as the "cloud" has been heating up, the various server vendors in the field of cloud computing has also launched a fierce competition, the focus of competition in addition to the traditional server areas, storage and network security has also become the focus. Facing the increasing demand of market and information service, how to provide a unified, convenient, safe and efficient information storage service has become the most important competition among the major manufacturers. As a well-known national manufacturers, Shuguang company launched a parastor parallel storage system in the storage area has made a significant impact. This is a system that conforms to the new storage architecture and new files and can effectively integrate the benefits of SAN and NAS systems.





Shuguang Company, in addition to have a rich comprehensive product line, the application network also shop and all walks of life, especially tax, education, government, meteorology and other key industry areas. The application of Parastor parallel storage systems with shared, high-capacity, manageable, easy to use, and scalable features provides a reliable guarantee for the future of cloud storage for customers.





to the meteorological industry's China Meteorological Bureau Wuhan Rainstorm Research Institute, as an example, as the dawn of long-term attention to the key industries, Dawn companies know the weather model and scientific research needs make the system for file storage System has a high demand, in addition to meet the large capacity and scalability, high-performance, high I/O aggregation bandwidth High ioPS are the basic requirements for systems in these industries. Therefore, in the original high-performance cluster system, put into use with high I/O bandwidth, strong scalability, the number of concurrent IOPS per second, support the industry's most advanced high-speed Internet, high performance characteristics of the Parastor parallel storage system, can effectively protect the industry's business operations and research needs. (The following is the Parastor parallel storage System Scenario application diagram)








It is easy to see from the system architecture diagram that the dawning parastor parallel storage System is a large-scale general-purpose cluster storage system designed for the application of massive data storage. Universal hardware devices are used as basic building blocks to provide users with globally unified system images and fully POSIX-compliant API interfaces. It is worth noting that the dynamic scalable technology owned by Parastor parallel storage systems enables users to store capacity on demand, without having to invest a large amount of cost to build a storage system, which can effectively reduce the risk of user investment.





Shuguang parastor Parallel storage System is based on high speed InfiniBand network, which can connect a large number of compute nodes, I/O nodes, Management Servers and disk arrays in the whole system. And through the storage management software and parallel file system to achieve the server and storage Access Protection management control, thus effectively improve the entire storage system performance and scalability.





In addition, the performance of the dawning parallel storage product also extends beyond all SAN storage and enables I/O optimizations for large files and large amounts of data, up to dozens of GB/s or even hundreds of GB/s, while online scaling is achieved without downtime and without applications, as the number of I/O nodes grows, System capacity and performance are also near linear growth, and the storage system has a network-independent data storage and recovery mechanism, with a high reliable metadata protection mode, to ensure the high availability of the entire storage system. In addition, the components of the storage system have been optimized by integrated testing, and the network equipment is compatible with a wide range of devices.





with the continuous development of information technology and the increasing demand of people, the traditional data center and computing platform are expanding, and the performance needs to be upgraded to meet the changing business needs and storage requirements. The development and application of Shuguang series storage products is the effective display of Shuguang company's concept and service concept, and also embodies the magnificent determination of Shuguang in the field of cloud storage competition.
