Huawei and Intel build fully integrated large data storage solutions

IDC forecasts that the total global data will reach 40ZB in 2020. What is the concept of 40ZB data volume? IDC gives a metaphor: if a grain of sand is used as a word, 40ZB of data is equivalent to 57 times times the amount of sand on all beaches on Earth; 40ZB of data is equivalent to 66.7 trillion high-definition films, a person 24 hours a day to see continuously, watching these films takes 5.6 trillion years; Our current estimate of the age of the Earth is 4.55 billion years, meaning that if the man began to watch the film when he was born on Earth, now he has only seen eight out of 10,000 (0.0008) of the total number of these films. And these data, every two years will also double, exponential growth trend. Large data will profoundly affect the entire IT industry and human society in an unprecedented scale; It is also considered the next frontier for innovation, competitiveness and productivity. How to deal with the flood of data floods, the full and efficient excavation of huge numbers of hidden opportunities, is becoming the key focus of the entire IT industry. A growing number of global IT giants are acquiring and collaborating to achieve complementarity and consolidation of technology, products and solutions. In recent days, Huawei, the world's leading provider of information and communication solutions, has once again attracted global attention to the news that Intel, a leading global computing innovator, has launched strategic cooperation in large data storage areas.

The two sides will collaborate to build a "full integration" of large data storage solutions to achieve large data lifecycle efficient storage, use and management. Under the agreement, the two sides will set up the core technical team to carry out the prophase technical cooperation, including the architect cooperation, research and development roadmap sharing, and jointly develop, validate and optimize the products, solutions and cutting-edge technology innovation, and start the comprehensive marketing cooperation including marketing strategy, cooperative marketing and cooperation trade show. This is Huawei storage and world-class it partners to work closely together to build a harmonious and winning industry ecosystem strategy of an important part.

Analysts point out that Huawei's cooperation with Intel stems from a consensus in the area of large data storage, and that Huawei, as a professional storage vendor with ICT-wide solution capabilities, has the world's leading data storage capabilities and a sophisticated storage solution system, while Intel is in large data, Horizontal scalable storage and software definition storage areas with the leading technology, the complementary advantages of both sides of the industry for this cooperation is full of anticipation.

Huawei says the basis for large data storage is to provide huge volumes of data, ultra-high-performance, highly scalable storage solutions to meet the demanding capacity and speed of massive data storage and analysis; In addition, large data storage must have data 0 load capacity to maximize the need to reduce mass data migrations, This avoids the huge time and cost loss caused by data migration, and drastically reduces the data management and usage complexity. Intel believes that horizontally scalable devices that combine storage and computing capabilities are ideal for a full range of requirements. They are easy to expand, in response to large data unprecedented data growth rate, but also to store data at the same time effective management and high-speed processing and analysis, so that large data can be quickly converted into valuable information to reduce the application costs of large data. This storage is computing, computing is storage, breaking the traditional server and storage device boundaries, realize the trend of storage and computing convergence has become the consensus of the whole industry. Intel Xeon processors based on Intel intelligent and high I/O bandwidth, Intel Ethernet and Intel solid-state hard disk storage systems contribute to Huawei's fundamental innovation and deliver high-performance large data solutions.

With the accumulation of technology in the field of large data storage, Huawei has pioneered the concept of "full integration" of large data storage management in the industry. Its core is to build a "data-centric" large data storage solution, that is, focusing on large data infrastructure, based on distributed file system, overlay parallel SQL engine, enterprise-level Hadoop and other analysis components, for storage, analysis, archiving and other functions of all integration, "Large data lifecycle" management within a single storage system to eliminate islands of storage, reduce the need for large data migrations, and reduce the potential problems associated with interoperability among devices. At the same time, "full fusion" also embodies the integration of a variety of storage media and equipment, based on the unified hardware platform, software platform and operating system of Huawei Storage, a pooled storage resource pool of storage devices is built to realize the free flow and on demand distribution of data on different storage devices according to the different requirements of data type, hot and cold degree and consistency.

Intel's big data advantages include low power performance and rich functionality to analyze and manage structured and unstructured storage data, helping businesses improve platform efficiency and reduce costs. As intelligent storage features require enhancements, such as data de-duplication, data tiering, compression and erasure coding capabilities, Intel based solutions will provide an enhanced user experience and enable new usage patterns.

It is reported that Huawei Oceanstor 9000 large data storage System is Huawei and Intel in large data storage areas of the key point of cooperation. Oceanstor 9000 is the core of Huawei's large data storage solution, it employs a fully symmetric scale-out architecture, supports the seamless expansion of 3~288 nodes, a single file system can be expanded to 40PB, and system performance can grow linearly with capacity growth. In 2013, the global authority to assess the performance of the agency spec test, Huawei Oceanstor 9000 with 100 nodes on the unprecedented 5 million ops, to lead the industry's other product performance of more than 3 times times the outstanding performance of the storage industry as a new leader in performance. And, Oceanstor 9000 innovative "full integration" technology architecture, on the basis of share-nothing data in the same system storage, archiving, analysis process lifecycle management, "0 load" unique advantages of the data in a number of business systems to flow effectively, Eliminates cross device data loading and migration, with data usage efficiencies up to 80%.

At present, Huawei and Intel have preliminarily completed the joint verification of the 40PB and 288 node projects of Oceanstor 9000, and will verify the results in the release phase. In the area of cold data storage, both sides are jointly developing low power and low cost high-density storage devices for cold data storage and video surveillance programs. At the same time, both sides will continue to strengthen technical inputs in the field of high performance: Leveraging Intel's breakthrough in Silicon Optoelectronics technology, Huawei will verify that the technology is used in the next generation of large data platforms to achieve 100GE host interface and system high-speed interconnection, which will greatly increase system bandwidth and reduce system latency, while in the Storage acceleration field, Huawei plans to use the Intel Isa-l instruction set to optimize the storage algorithm, which is expected to improve the command processing efficiency by 100% and reduce the compression performance by 4 times times.

In the future, Huawei and Intel will continue to deepen innovative collaboration in large data storage and the entire IT infrastructure, combining both technology and resource advantages to create higher application value solutions for end users, helping users to cope with the challenges and opportunities of large data, and to fully exploit data value, Realize the transformation and upgrade of the business. In addition, the two sides in the forefront of technical cooperation will also promote the development of the industry and promote the development of information technology.
