S-Ultra 21
Features
S-Ultra 21 comes is equipped with all the usual Enterprise Storage System features. They were designed specifically with OpenStack Integration in mind - and come with incredible performance and scalability.
SCALABLE CLUSTER ARCHITECTURE
Scalable, distributed cluster architecture with up to 12 (6x2) storage nodes, minimal overhead and linear performance scalability. Nodes can be added to cluster at any time.
LOGICAL VOLUME (LUN) MANAGEMENT
Create, reserve, attach, multi-attach, snapshot, backup, restore, replicate, resize and migrate volumes (stores) within pools.
ENCRYPTION
Volumes may be encrypted using high-performance hardware and software encryption mechanisms.
CONTROLLER HA
We support active / active controllers with asymmetric access and transparent fail-over to protect from node failure.
AUTO TIERING
Policy-based, transparent and automatic migration of blocks between storage tiers for maximum capacity scalability and cost efficiency. Intelligent pre-fetch algorithm for reading data.
SNAPSHOTTING
Create, attach, multi-attach, backup, restore, and revert to snapshots for virtual machine images, virtual machine instances (states), virtual disks and other use cases.
COMPRESSION
High-performanc,e realt time compression support can reduce storage capacity requirements by 70 to 80% for certain use cases.
BACKUP INTEGRATION
Integration with popular backup software as well cloud backup and simple built-in backups through scheduled snapshots and their replication to nearline archiving systems.
RAID
RAID groups of 0,1,5,6,10,50,60 are supported. Hot-Spare groups, end to end data integrity and continuous raid repair are supported.
THIN PROVISIONING
We support thin provisioning of volumes and pools and related treshold warnings.
HA SERVICE PLANE
Our own management servers provide high-availability (99.99%) throughout all components.
