Enterprise Storage Solution with Multiple Nodes

Description

datasheet-StorageKey Features

 

1.     Distributed Storage Architecture

Each server node in the storage cluster contributes local storage that is combined into a shared storage pool, accessible by all nodes. This enables seamless scalability and enhanced fault tolerance.

2.     High Availability and Data Protection

• Automatic Failover: In case of a node failure, data is automatically redistributed across remaining nodes to maintain access without service disruption.

• Replication and Redundancy: Data is replicated across multiple nodes, ensuring high availability and protection against hardware failures.

• No Single Point of Failure: The distributed nature of the storage system ensures continuous operation even if individual nodes go offline.

3.     Scalable and Flexible Storage

• Elastic Storage Pools: Add storage capacity by simply adding new server nodes, with no need to take the system offline.

• Dynamic Storage Tiers: Leverage SSDs for high-performance caching and HDDs for large-capacity archival storage, optimizing performance and cost.

4.     Performance Optimization

• Tiered Storage: Automatically balance hot data (frequently accessed) on SSDs and cold data (less frequently accessed) on HDDs to maximize performance.

• Low Latency: With SSD caching and high-speed interconnects between nodes, data access times are minimized.

5.     Advanced Management and Monitoring

• Real-Time Monitoring: A centralized dashboard for monitoring system health, storage utilization, and performance across all nodes.

• Proactive Alerts: Automatically generate alerts for hardware failures, capacity thresholds, and performance bottlenecks.

6.     Networking and Connectivity

• Fibre Channel (FC) Support: Optional FC connectivity for integration with existing SAN environments, ensuring low-latency and high-throughput access to shared storage.

• Multipathing: Multiple physical paths between servers and storage nodes ensure redundancy and increase reliability.

 

Use Case Scenarios

1.     Enterprise Cloud Infrastructure

Deploy the HCI solution with multiple nodes to create a cloud-like infrastructure within your data center, providing virtualized compute and storage resources that can be scaled on-demand.

2.     High-Performance Database Hosting

Use the storage solution with multiple nodes to host large databases, ensuring low- latency access to data with built-in redundancy for high availability and disaster recovery.

3.     Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)

Combine multiple nodes in the HCI cluster to create a virtual desktop environment, providing employees with virtual desktops that are dynamically provisioned and managed.

4.     Big Data and Analytics

The scalable storage solution is ideal for big data workloads, where storage requirements grow rapidly. The distributed architecture ensures that storage and performance can be scaled as needed.

Conclusion

This HCI and storage solution with multiple nodes is designed for enterprises that require high availability, scalability, and seamless management. With its modular architecture, it grows with your business needs, ensuring optimal performance, data protection, and efficient resource utilization.
