Flexible controllable-wave software definition storage

Virtualization Encounters "Bottlenecks"

In the traditional data center, IT system construction process, initially used is the application and storage 1:1, 2:1, 4:1, 8:1, 12:2, such as the corresponding physical configuration, this static load mode can be provided to the application side of the performance, capacity is fully predictable, storage quality is assured. However, the lack of flexibility in this deployment, the basic use of dry manual operations, often take weeks of deployment time, easy to manage islands, and with the passage of time, storage performance is getting worse, affecting TCO.

With the advent of cloud computing, virtualization is the most widely deployed way of IT system deployment; In virtualized infrastructures, the application business and storage System form a n:1 scale deployment, that is, through virtualization platform to achieve global management and maintenance of the infrastructure environment; another aspect of storage virtualization for SAN NAS Storage System consolidation, is implemented through the NAS storage protocol, enabling the virtualization of storage-space resources deployed to different hardware to meet the requirements of storage consolidation over the past, current, and future periods of storage management, or storage virtualization, which opens the era of consolidation in the repository.

However, "Gold without pure", with the passage of time, the emergence of new business, the problem of virtualization is gradually revealed.

For example: Due to the n:1 corresponding way, the non fixed load causes the storage QoS to lose the safeguard;

Embedded kernel-based storage systems can not provide a sustainable performance, SAN storage consolidation software can only integrate the market or customer site verified part of the model;

This limits the commonality of storage consolidation schemes on a large scale, and the performance bottlenecks exist in devices with storage consolidation capabilities, which weakens the extensive application of storage systems and limits future development.

Software definition, further than virtualization

Past facts have proven that the various technical problems currently encountered in the IT environment are achievable in the near future, so technology itself does not provide a "revolutionary" innovation in the resolution of the problem. In this case, a new type of storage architecture is urgently needed to address the drawbacks of storage virtualization.

In this case, there is a new idea of a solution-software definition storage (SDS).

Wave storage as the leader of domestic storage vendors, based on the technology accumulation in many fields such as SAN storage array, cluster storage, mass storage, storage consolidation, information security and so on, launch software definition storage (SDS) product strategy, abstract heterogeneous storage resources into logical resource pool, apply as center, The use and management of data based on Policy-based automation ensures that the IO performance of the system is controlled at a precise level and that more flexible management of storage space resources and physical equipment resources is achieved.

The value and application of software definition storage

Wave software defines the storage (SDS) product strategy, which provides a flexible management, deployment, and provisioning of physical storage devices through software that meets the needs of converged data storage for cloud computing information security, integration of traditional storage devices, and business-compatible commercial hardware platforms.

Wave software defines a storage (SDS) product strategy that covers the large capacity, high-performance, and highly stable SAN storage array access features provided by the SAN storage array, while fusing distributed design architectures, enabling unlimited horizontal scalability of capacity/performance to meet most centralized SAN storage, In particular, distributed SAN storage applications in cloud computing environments.

Wave Software definition Storage (SDS) products will launch the IP san, FC San compatibility support, fusion gigabit, Wan Shao Ethernet protocol, to achieve flash flash, SSD solid-state disk, SAS disk, NL SAS, SATA and other disk media support. The software definition storage (SDS) product solution maximizes the utilization of the equipment and lowers the total cost of ownership (TCO) of the user by leveraging the existing storage devices and using the common Network Exchange protocol. On the basis of providing various functions of networked storage system, the integrated data protection and disaster tolerance function is a high reliable and intelligent cloud computing software definition storage System platform.

To meet customer demand for distributed, scalable storage systems, the Wave software definition storage (SDS) product will be compatible with the common X86 hardware platform, enabling extended support for distributed NAS storage protocols and distributed object storage protocols.

Software-defined storage can meet the high bandwidth, high IOPS data access and disaster protection needs, and is widely used. Distributed NAS storage for cloud computing environments, such as NAS storage applications based on unstructured data, and applications for distributed object storage, such as video surveillance, data backup, networked storage, cold data storage application, and VDI requirements for distributed SAN storage, such as cloud desktops; and suitable for structured database storage requirements.

Software definition, drive storage new layout

Currently, the software definition storage program has been applied to the State administration of radio and technology, Huaqiang Cultural and Scientific Research Institute, Finance and Economics University, as well as some provinces of the police cloud, security hall landing applications, to meet the user's unlimited storage system expansion and dynamic expansion of the needs of the function. and the transformation of storage values brought about by software-defined storage will accelerate the next few years the wave of storage product innovation and development, to the application-centric, to the software definition of storage engine layer, storage data resource management layer, virtualization of the data layer of the evolution of the architecture, to accelerate the integration of customers, flexible and controllable software definition storage new experience.
