Storage Software Employing a Cloud-Oriented Architecture

Multiple Controllers
. Scale-out capability: The V3 enterprise storage system employs a smart matrix multi-controller architecture. System resources can be linearly expanded online to a maximum of eight controllers, 4 TB of cache, and 19.2 PB of storage capacity, providing unprecedented system scalability.
.High-speed interconnection: In a single controller enclosure of a V3 enterprise storage system, multiple controllers can be expanded using PCIe 3.0 high-speed buses. As many as four controllers are integrated
in merely a 6 U space. Controllers directly exchange data, providing optimal user experience, including low latency, high bandwidth, and robust stability, meeting fast business growth, and maximizing return
on investment.
. High availability: The controllers of a V3 enterprise storage system serve as a hot backup for each other, allowing them to tolerate failure of multiple controllers, offer 99.999% system availability, and protect
stability of online services.

. Load balancing: The V3 enterprise storage system implements load balancing among controllers. Multiple controllers concurrently process the same host service to eliminate the performance bottleneck of a
single controller and significantly improve service processing efficiency.

Reliable
. Multi-dimensional business continuity protection: All components of a V3 enterprise storage system are redundant, preventing single points of failure and ensuring stable system operation. In addition, the V3 enterprise storage system adopts innovative block virtualization that speeds up data reconstruction by 20 times, greatly improving data reliability. Furthermore, the Hyper series data protection software meets user needs for local, remote, and multibranch data protection, with the recovery point objective (RPO) ranging from 0 to 5 seconds, the shortest in the industry, maximizing business continuity and data availability.
. End-to-end data protection: The V3 enterprise storage system ensures comprehensive data integrity all the way from application systems, HBAs, storage systems, to disks. Such end-to-end data protection ensures service integrity for customers.
. 9-intensity earthquake resistance certification: The V3 enterprise storage system has obtained the 9-intensity earthquake resistance certification from the Seismic Quality Supervision and Test Center of
Telecommunications Equipment for Information Industry. They can prevent mechanical vibrations from causing device failure.

Converged
. Convergence of SAN and NAS: SAN and NAS are converged to provide elastic storage, simplify service deployment, improve storage resource utilization, and reduce total cost of ownership (TCO). Underlying storage resource pools provide both block service and file service and shorten storage resource access paths to ensure that the two services are equally efficient.
. Convergence of heterogeneous storage systems: Thanks to the built-in heterogeneous virtualization function, the V3 enterprise storage system can efficiently manage storage systems from other mainstream vendors and unify resource pools for central and flexible resource allocation.
. Convergence of high-end, mid-range, and entry-level storage systems: The V3 series storage systems are the only storage systems that enable high-end, mid-range, and entry-level storage systems to interwork seamlessly with one another. In this way, data can freely flow among storage products of different models without the assistance of third-party systems.
. Convergence of SSDs and HDDs: The advantages of traditional and solid-state storage media are combined, bringing the performance of different types of storage media into full play and striking an optimal balance between performance and cost.
. Convergence of primary and backup storage: The built-in backup function enables data to be efficiently backed up without additional backup software, simplifying backup solution management.

Intelligent
. Multi-tenant and service level agreement (SLA): The V3 enterprise storage system enable storage resources to be intelligently allocated in cloud computing environments to meet the needs of enterprises
and organizations. It also leverages data isolation and a range of data security policies such as data encryption and data destruction to meet varying data security requirements. It provides four service levels
and allocates storage resources based on service priorities. Storage resources are first allocated to high-priority services to ensure system performance and shorten response time.
. Smart series efficiency improvement suite: The V3 enterprise storage system leverage SmartTier (dynamic storage tiering), SmartMotion (intelligent data migration), and innovative SmartVirtualization
(heterogeneous virtualization) to achieve vertical, horizontal, and crosssystem 3D data flow, significantly improving storage resource utilization.

Unified
. Unified management: The V3 enterprise storage system provides powerful storage management software that supports global topology view, capacity analysis, performance analysis, fault diagnosis, and endto-end service visualization to manage a wide range of devices.
. Mobile management: Users can use tablets and mobile phones to manage storage system in real time. System status is sent automatically, making constant attendance by an engineer unnecessary.
. Convenient management: The V3 enterprise storage system can be initially configured in five steps, which takes about 40 seconds, and expanded in two steps, which takes about 15 seconds.

Industry-Leading Storage Hardware
. Outstanding performance and specifications: The V3 enterprise storage system employs next-generation Intel multi-core processors, 16 Gbit/s Fibre Channel, 10 Gbit/s FCoE, and 56 Gbit/s InfiniBand host ports, PCIe 3.0 buses, and 12 Gbit/s SAS 3.0 disk ports, and provides up to 40 GB/s of system bandwidth to meet the requirements of bandwidth-intensive applications, such as video and other large files. It also offers million-level IOPS performance, outshining products from other vendors.
. Exclusive SmartIO cards: A SmartIO card supports 8 Gbit/s Fibre Channel, 16 Gbit/s Fibre Channel, and 10 Gbit/s FCoE.
. Industry-leading deduplication/compression cards: The V3 enterprise storage system supports lossless data deduplication and compression, efficiently reducing data storage costs.
