Software define Storage
What is SDS, anyway?
SDS delivers significant benefits to Software-Defined Storage Solutions:
Deploy cost-effective, hyperscale storage
Object and Block Storage Coexist
both object (S3) and block (RBD & iSCSI) storage at the same time. Set up of both block and object storage is greatly simplified, Simply select the appliances and storage layout (erasure-coding, replicas)
Automatic Failover
scale-up clusters have HA failover technology that is among the fastest in the industry. This is made possible by the highly parallelized HA failover system and IO fencing that ensures quick failover of Storage Pools
One Grid, Multiple Clusters
IT managers can create multiple individual independent object storage clusters within the grid to enable I/O independence and asynchronous replication between sites and clusters, powerful configuration, monitoring and management features make it easy to set up
Data Replication Aware
Remote Replication schedules make it easy to replicate file and block storage from any Storage Pool to any Storage Pool within a given Storage Grid. Pools can be dynamically moved between systems using HA failover and the data replication system responds automatically.
Simplified Maintenance
High Availability technology enables one to do hardware and low level software upgrades and maintenance activities with zero downtime
Data Security
For data-at-rest, features “one-click” full drive software encryption with Intel AES-NI technology and FIPS 140-2 self-encrypting drive support with certified hardware.
