Designed for Mass Unstructured Data

Huawei’s Global Industry Vision (GIV) predicts that by 2030, the total data generated globally will reach 1 yottabyte per year, of which more than 95% will be unstructured data. Mass unstructured data now plays a major role in enterprise production and decision-making systems.

Huawei OceanStor scale-out storage series is fully embracing the yottabyte era by consistently adopting innovative, cutting-edge architectures and technologies. Huawei OceanStor focuses on scenarios like virtualization and cloud resource pool, big data analytics, high-performance data analysis (HPDA), intelligent video and image, backup, and archiving. It is built on a robust data foundation that delivers efficient hybrid workloads, simplified data management, and enhanced data resilience, unleashing the full potential of mass unstructured data while addressing any uncertainties that may arise in future applications.

Benefits

scale out storage benefit en 2 001

Efficient Processing for Diverse Data

Software algorithms are offloaded onto processors for hardware acceleration. In addition, OceanStor scale-out storage uses an intelligent and lossless network that delivers consistent latency of less than 1 ms2, quickly responding to critical workloads.

A single bucket houses up to 100 billion objects without compromising performance, eliminating the need to use multiple buckets for large applications.

Excellent I/O throughput is provided for applications that involve a massive volume of small files. The fully symmetric distributed architecture enables massive and linear performance expansion.

Full-lifecycle storage system management predicts and handles resource usage and faults in advance, radically streamlining O&M.

Notes: 2 Applicable to scale-out block storage.

Everlasting Operations for Online Services

The industry-leading distributed active-active architecture across clusters3 implements load balancing, where RPO = 0 and RTO ≈ 0, protecting core data assets.

The innovative disaster recovery solution that extends across 2 to 12 sites4 offers a choice between cross-site EC and multi-copy options, delivering improved reliability and space utilization.

EC provides powerful redundancy protection to guarantee the stable running of applications even if four nodes or four cabinets are simultaneously faulty.

Comprehensive system sub-health detection and pre-processing accurately eliminate potential network, node, and component faults — all in advance.

E2E data consistency verification provides high data availability for concurrent services.

Economical Storage for Mass Data

The OceanStor scale-out storage series implements EC to deliver industry-leading disk space utilization of 91.6%. That's 2.75x the figure for a traditional three-copy mode, slashing the hardware and physical space required and bringing down energy consumption.

The series provides state-of-the-art data reduction solutions for life sciences and digital pathology, optimizing the use of storage space.

The series also scales out to 4096 nodes, for flexible resource purchasing and deployment on demand.

It provides precision purchasing with a sales model of available capacity1, optimizing investments made.

Equipped with native HDFS capabilities, the decoupled storage-compute big data solution is compatible with mainstream big data platforms and components, for diversified data analytics with 30% lower TCO.

Notes: 1 Actual capacity that stores service data.
