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

OceanStor Dorado high-end storage can provide 7-nines system reliability, which means the system downtime is less than 3 seconds per year. This is achieved by using the SmartMatrix architecture, which ensures no single point of failure and supports cross-engine active-active mode.

In Huawei E2E anti-ransomware solution from production storage, to backup storage and to DR storage, the products are OceanStor Dorado, OceanStor Pacific, and OceanProtect. OceanStor Dorado is the production storage that provides high performance and reliability for critical applications. OceanStor Pacific is the backup storage that provides efficient data reduction and protection for large-scale data. OceanProtect is the DR storage that provides fast backup and recovery for disaster scenarios .

Dorado can provide secure snapshot as an anti-ransomware function. Secure snapshot is a feature that allows users to create read-only copies of data at a specific point in time. Secure snapshots are protected from deletion or modification by ransomware or unauthorized users. Secure snapshots can also be used to quickly restore data to a previous state in case of ransomware attacks .

OceanProtect provides fast backup and restore capabilities that can reduce the backup window and improve the recovery point objective (RPO) and recovery time objective (RTO) for enterprise data. OceanProtect leverages E2E acceleration, high bandwidth, and instant access technologies to achieve up to 155 TB/h backup bandwidth and 172 TB/h recovery bandwidth, which are the industry’s highest levels1. OceanProtect also supports instant access to data in backup images, enabling quick utilization of backup data2.

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.

In the concept of Flash-to-Flash-to-Anything (F2F2X), anything can be used as the destination for data archiving or long-term retention. Anything can be disk, tape, cloud, or Blu-ray devices that provide different levels of capacity, performance, cost, and reliability for data storage5. F2F2X is a data infrastructure architecture that provides all-flash primary and backup storageand diversified archive storage for enterprise data. It aims to efficiently unleash the potential of data and activate the potential of “4 +” (Data acceleration +; Data resilience +; Data mobility +; Data management +) data centers

Secondary storage acceleration is not included in Huawei’s All-Flash Acceleration solution. The All-Flash Acceleration solution consists of three parts: primary storage acceleration, backup acceleration, and High-Performance Data Analytics (HPDA) acceleration. Primary storage acceleration uses OceanStor Dorado all-flash storage to deliver ultra-high performance, low latency, and high reliability for mission-critical workloads. Backup acceleration uses OceanProtect backup storage to provide fast backup and recovery for enterprise data. HPDA acceleration uses FusionCube hyper-converged infrastructure to integrate storage, computing, network, virtualization, and management into one device for edge computing scenarios.

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, such as big data analytics, backup and archiving, video surveillance, and media production.

All-flash storage is not recommended to use for video surveillance system because video surveillance data is usually large in size, sequential in nature, and infrequently accessed. All-flash storage is more suitable for applications that require high performance, low latency, and random access. Video surveillance system can benefit from using hybrid flash storage or hard disk drives that offer more capacity and lower cost
