Huawei Storage System Large data solution

With the rapid development of Internet, cloud computing, mobile terminals and IoT in recent years, the world officially entered the ZB ERA in 2010. With the advent of large data age, the storage, analysis, disaster tolerance, backup and unified management of massive and multiple types of data have a great impact on traditional architectures.

In the big Data age, Huawei launched a big data solution: Huawei Oceanstor MVX Storage System (hereinafter referred to as MVX). The MVX system is a cluster storage system which integrates Scale-out NAS, Scale-out database and Scale-out Backup, realizes multiple integration, and is oriented to large data storage. MVX realizes the integrated lifecycle management of distributed storage, distributed backup and distributed data analysis in a system, and the data flows efficiently among multiple domains under the dispatch of Data Unified Dispatch module. The MVX system adopts the distributed architecture, the system can use the small configuration in the initial time, reduce the capex overhead, with the increase of the business volume, the customer can enlarge easily to realize the need and change.

Elastic space

MVX employs a fully symmetric distributed scale-out architecture, full redundancy deployment, no single point of failure, distributed raid guarantees high reliability between data nodes. In ensuring the high reliability of the data at the same time, the system supports 3 nodes to 288 nodes flexible seamless expansion, single file system can be expanded to 100PB, the entire expansion process business uninterrupted. Enterprises, especially emerging enterprises, in the initial stage, the volume of business is small, the need for it facilities is not large, but also impossible to have a big it budget, but the performance requirements may be very high. The initial configuration of Huawei's MVX system can be low TCO, meet the requirements of the capacity and performance of the enterprise, as the enterprise grows up, the demand for it is also climbing, without the original IT investment, just a simple expansion of the MVX system, easy to handle storage space and performance of higher demand.

In order to meet the requirements of customer performance capacity, and maximize the investment for customers, MVX provides nodes to meet different scenarios: High OPS node, high bandwidth node and large capacity node, customer on-demand configuration; These nodes are unified management, resource unified dispatch, easy management.

Excellent performance

It is well known that data read and write from the cache is much faster than reading and writing data from the hard disk directly. MVX through the global caching technology, it provides 2TB super buffer pool for the business system, effectively improves the data access hit rate, improves the overall system performance, uses the SSD disk storage metadata, accelerates the metadata access efficiency, enhances the system small file processing ability effectively, simultaneously the system internal matching 10ge/ InfiniBand network interconnection, reduce the system internal network latency to a minimum, and ultimately provide very low latency response to the upper level business. MVX provides the industry-leading more than 3 million ops, more than 170GB of system total bandwidth, very low latency, fully meet high-performance computing, media editing and other scenarios of high performance requirements; Not only single node can output high-performance, the whole system performance will increase linearly with node expansion, Calmly meet the higher performance requirements of the business.

Intelligence Fusion

The challenge of large data is not just the storage of data, but also the backup and archiving of data, and how to extract value from massive amounts of data. MVX is the industry's first innovative fusion Scale-out NAS, Scale-out database and Scale-out Backup, the realization of a number of integrated storage systems, a system to complete data from storage, query, backup, analysis of the whole lifecycle management. MVX provides support for multiple interfaces, multiple data types, supports NFS/CIFS,SMBV1/V2,HTTP/FTP, s3,jdbc,odbc,sql92, NDMP, etc., and supports the storage, backup, and analysis of structured and unstructured data. MVX through multi-functional, multi-protocol Intelligence Fusion, eliminate the data island, for customers to build a complete solution, easy to face large data era.

Simplify management

Efficient, concise, consistent user experience is MVX to the high pursuit of product ease of use. Just one management system for hardware, software, network, service unified management, unified interface, so that management is no longer crazy; Single file system, unified namespace, automatic compact configuration, improve storage utilization, easy to deal with space planning; when the hard drive warning, no need to replace immediately, the system can quickly self-healing, so that maintenance more calmly; Automated performance statistics and intelligent analysis to make decisions no longer blind.

As the industry's leading generation of storage products, MVX integrates massive data storage, analysis, backup and archiving, with industry-leading performance, large-scale horizontal scalability and large single file system to provide users with structured and unstructured data sharing resource pool, data lifecycle management based storage and archiving solutions, Fully meet the radio and television media, high-performance Computing, Energy Geology, data center, centralized storage, internet operations, such as a variety of large data business applications demand.
