Distributed storage cluster size (Integrates local disks on multiple servers into a distributed storage resource pool and provides upper-layer VMs with industry-standard SCSI, iSCSI, and object access interfaces for obtaining the resources. The local storage spaces on compute nodes are scheduled and managed by the distributed storage cluster software. The more nodes in the cluster, the more complex the inter-node information exchange tasks and the algorithm for data synchronization when a disk fails. Three nodes support the deployment of three copies. It is not required to add additional hard disks (groups), capacity, or nodes to satisfy the replication strategy and it makes full use of the resources of each disk and each node.)

3~32

3~32

Minimum expansion unit (Minimum number of compute nodes that must be added in one expansion operation. Online horizontal expansion of computing and storage capabilities is an advantage of distributed storage, and is also the method to resolve future data center expansion issues. The smaller the minimum expansion unit, the simpler the expansion, and the lower the cost per investment.)

1

Number of replicas/Copies (Replication is a basic method of providing fault tolerance to distributed storage. Data replicas are evenly distributed on multiple compute nodes in the distributed storage system for the nodes to share access request processing tasks. This reduces the response time and eliminates the risk of data loss in case of node failure. A group of hard disk pools (groups) can support both 2-copy and 3-copy strategies and can be selected arbitrarily to maximize the use of disk capacity. There is no need to use additional disk groups to carry two different strategies, which greatly reduces customer costs. In addition, support for "online" adjustment of virtual machine disk redundancy strategy greatly facilitates operation and maintenance and avoids interruption of business.)

2~5

2~5

Full flash support (Uses only SSDs as local disks for distributed storage construction. This greatly improves IOPS performance with reduced read/write latency. As the price of SSDs declines, the all-flash architecture has become an application trend in the North American market. In the domestic market, hyper-convergence that uses the all-flash architecture is gradually entering the vision of users in high-value industries, such as finance.)

Y

Y

SSD cache (In hybrid deployment of HDDs and SSDs, local SSD cache is often used to improve the read/write performance of distributed storage. Before writing data to the persistent local storage, the system first writes the data into the SSD cache that provides a higher access speed. When a VM attempts to read data, it first searches through the hot data in the SSD cache before accessing the local persistent storage. Provide SSD based Read Caching and Write Buffer capability to improve the performance of the I/O)

Y

Y

Erasure coding (EC) (The distributed storage system uses replicas to protect data and provide availability of the highest level. When data failure occurs, the system restores the data directly from a replica instead of computing and reading it from another storage location. However, the storage cost is very high because full replication is required. To resolve the issue, H3C UIS 7.0 supports using EC for data coding. Similar to RAID 5, EC gets the parity bit through calculation. It codes data block strips on different nodes and calculates the parity bits. When a host or disk fails, the corresponding parity bit can be used to restore the missing data block. Supports the erasure code protection for file storage from N + 1 to N + 4, and support the failure of any 4 nodes without data loss and system shutdown)

Y

Y

Automatic data reconstruction (Allows the system to automatically detect data failures by comparing replicas on different nodes when a storage cluster node or disk fails and then start self-healing to restore the lost replica to ensure complete fault tolerance. Provides Automated Data Rebuilding capability to restore redundancy in case of any Disk or Node Failure.)

Y

Y

QoS Function (Support storage QoS policy, specify service priority according to business pressure; support volume QoS, data recovery QoS, support setting data recovery policy with hard disk pool as granularity.)

Y

Disk Replacement (Supports disk replacement wizard, provides a graphical and wizard-based interface, supports hot-swappable replacement of hard disks, and brings more efficient maintainability)

Y

Automatic data balancing (The data replica distribution algorithm balances data storage among nodes in the storage cluster, enabling replicas to be stored on different nodes, disks or cabinets to avoid single point of failure. At node scale-up or scale-down, the data recovery and construction algorithm can ensure workload balancing among nodes after data construction. The Striped data multi copy mechanism is adopted to ensure the data reliability. The storage software divides the physical hard disk into chunks of 4MB size to save the data. The redundancy mode of RAID1 is not allowed. Independent hot spare is not needed in the storage node. Supports to automatically balance the data when it is placed, and it is not required to delay the balance or choose another balance time and strategy. This can ensure the smooth operation of customer services, otherwise it will take up bandwidth and affect the business by finding another time to balance it.)

Y

Y

Storage thin provisioning (Assigns physical disk space on demand to maximize storage resource usage and resolve the over-provisioning issue. For example, if 1TB disk space is pre-allocated to a VM, but the VM uses only 200GB, the system assigns only 200GB to the VM.)

Y

Y

Unified storage (One node can support virtualization and three storage functions at the same time, which allows a cluster that contains a minimum of three nodes to provide virtualization, distributed block storage, object storage, and file storage services. Note that object storage and file storage services must be provided by a host. One node can support virtualization and 3 types of storage functions (block, file, object) at the same time. At least 3 node cluster can provide virtualization, distributed block, object, and file storage services at the same time. Among them, object and file services are provided on the host machine. File storage support protocols include FTP, CIFS, NFS, HTTP; Provides a variety of NAS value-added service functions including authority management, snapshot management (WORM), shared directory management, etc. NAS services can adopt multi-service nodes for high availability and support load balancing. Object storage, compatible with S3 and other interfaces, supporting management through HTTP or cli)

Virtual resource isolation (Uses the following technologies to isolate virtual resources:

· Hardware-assisted virtualization technologies such as Intel VT-x and AMD-V—Isolates vCPU register instructions and state control information.

· Mapping of hardware physical memory and VM logical memory—Isolates the virtual memory spaces of different VMs. This allows memory pages to automatically clear the physical bits at VM shutdown or deletion to ensure the non-recoverability of memory data.
