Huawei H19-110_V2.0 - HCSA-Sales-Storage V2.0

OceanStor Pacific mass data storage does not focus on core transaction database scenarios to compete in the market, but on unstructured data scenarios such as big data analytics, backup and archiving, video surveillance, and media production. OceanStor Pacific is a distributed storage system that is designed for massive data applications. It supports multiple protocols, such as NFS, CIFS, S3, and HDFS, and provides high performance, scalability, reliability, and efficiency for unstructured data storage. OceanStor Pacific can handle data volumes ranging from hundreds of TBs to EBs, and can meet the storage requirements of various scenarios.

OceanProtect can be used for data backup of core application scenarios, such as core DB or core applications. OceanProtect is a dedicated backup storage product that provides fast backup and recovery for enterprise data. It adopts a converged architecture that integrates backup software, backup server, and backup storage into one device. OceanProtect supports multiple backup protocols, such as NDMP, VTL, and NAS, and can work with mainstream backup software in the industry. OceanProtect also leverages deduplication and compression technologies to reduce the backup data footprint and save storage space.

In enterprise core systems, the main sales scenarios of all flash OceanStor Dorado are database, virtualization, and consolidation. OceanStor Dorado can provide high performance, low latency, and high reliability for database applications, such as Oracle, SAP HANA, and MySQL. OceanStor Dorado can also optimize the performance and efficiency of virtualization environments, such as VMware, Hyper-V, and OpenStack. Moreover, OceanStor Dorado can consolidate multiple applications and workloads on a single platform, reducing the total cost of ownership and simplifying management.

Huawei enterprise storage and distributed storage have been listed in 3rd party performance list, such as SPC and IO500. SPC is the Storage Performance Council, an industry body that provides standardized benchmarks for storage performance. IO500 is a ranking list that evaluates the performance of HPC storage systems. Huawei OceanStor Dorado V6 has ranked No. 1 in SPC-1 and SPC-2 performance tests for three consecutive years. Huawei OceanStor Pacific has ranked No. 1 in the IO500 full-system challenge list for two consecutive years.

The reason why backup storage capacity is larger than production storage is not that backup storage stores multiple copies of production data, but that backup storage stores multiple versions of production data. Backup storage provides data protection for production data by creating backup images at different points in time. These backup images can be used to restore production data in case of any data loss or corruption. Backup storage usually stores more versions of production data than production storage itself, which makes backup storage capacity larger than production storage capacity.

Huawei high-end flash storage, such as OceanStor Dorado 8000/18000, supports a fully-interconnected active-active SmartMatrix 3.0 architecture that ensures the stable running of services, even if seven out of eight controllers, or one out of two controller enclosures, fail.  This feature sets unprecedented standards for industry reliability

The highlight of OceanStor Dorado HyperMetro solution is that Huawei HyperMetro can support active-active SAN & NAS solution without adding any hardware or licenses. HyperMetro is a gateway-free active-active solution that synchronizes data between two storage systems in real time and ensures zero service interruption and zero data loss in case of any failure in one system or site. HyperMetro also supports transparent failover and load balancing, which enhances the performance and efficiency of data storage. HyperMetro can support both SAN and NAS protocols in one box, which means it can provide active-active protection for both block and file services without requiring separate devices or gateways.

Within the HCSA-Sales-Storage material ' s market-positioning context, this statement is True . Huawei used Gartner Peer Insights Customers ' Choice recognition as an important proof point for its primary-storage and all-flash portfolio. Huawei ' s published storage presentation explicitly identifies Primary Storage: No. 1 Gartner Customer ' s Choice , showing Huawei with an overall rating of 5.0 compared with the other vendors shown in that comparison. Huawei has also repeatedly been recognized as a Gartner Peer Insights Customers ' Choice for primary storage with OceanStor Dorado all-flash storage. This recognition is based on verified end-user reviews and is distinct from Gartner ' s analyst-authored Magic Quadrant research. For examination purposes, the question is testing Huawei ' s documented competitive-positioning statement from the relevant HCSA generation, so A. True is the correct answer.
