New function
• Supports the deduplication function of flash media to further improve storage capacity utilization efficiency
The SmartSAN function supports automatic configuration of SAN Zoning. You do not need to configure SAN Zoning before configuring hosts and volumes. You can automatically discover and create SAN Zoning managed by storage target ports
• Supports three data center storage-level Dr Technologies for mid-range entry-level, mid-range enterprise, and high-end enterprise products of the same series. Each controller has one IP Dr Replication port. The Dr Technology can be combined with thin provisioning and asynchronous snapshot technologies to reduce the cost of link replication. The latest version supports SAN and NAS hypermetro + three-center Dr Solutions that are managed in a unified manner
• Fine-grained QoS control, IOPS, bandwidth, and latency can be set for each volume, ensuring predictable service levels for your applications, workloads, and tenants, and keeping application latency below 0.5ms
The advanced architecture makes the H3C CF series storage stand out
The high performance and automatic optimization provided by the three-tier virtualization architecture can easily meet the mixed load requirements of the enterprise data center for cloud computing, virtualization, and data center consolidation. It can scale from two controllers to multiple controllers, provide horizontal and vertical 3D expansion through PCI-E bus interconnection between controllers, support more than 32TB cache, optimize IO performance, and reduce access latency. The controller engine is completely physically independent from each other, and all the core components of the controller engine such as processor/cache/front-end card/back-end card are completely private and independent. SAN, NAS, and Object Storage are integrated under the same architecture to meet a variety of different access requirements. The optimized architecture for flash memory realizes the fusion of flash disk and mechanical hard disk, provides the optimization of flash data access, and provides the secondary adaptive cache and automatic data layering functions of flash memory.
The high availability feature gives users peace of mind
Up to 99.9999% high availability, T10-PI end-to-end data consistency verification, four-control cache retention, cross-disk array RAID for cage-level security, clone, snapshot and remote replication software and converged backup capabilities for further data protection
Simple and efficient, reduce the overall cost of users
Thin provisioning and deduplication can reduce a user's capacity by up to 75%. Graphical management interface and report functions, SAN network auto-configuration, quick installation wizard, and intelligent auto-optimization can reduce user management time by up to 90%
Provides all enterprise-class storage capabilities
It not only provides the functions of cloning, snapshot and remote data replication of traditional enterprise storage, but also provides the integration of VMWare VAAI, VASA, Microsoft Hyper-V and Open Stack for the new generation of enterprise data centers. It also provides fast RAID recovery, data optimization software, comprehensive Qos control, storage partitioning, storage cluster, disaster recovery of three data centers, high availability between arrays, and online data migration
The Peer Motion function of the H3C CF series can be used to form a storage federation cluster with high-end H3C CF storage devices without additional gateways. Data can be migrated online between multiple storage devices based on performance and capacity policies, and the host platform is transparent
Supports the cloud backup feature, enabling data to be directly backed up to public or private clouds
advantage
1. Converged Storage architecture: SAN, NAS, and Object Storage can be implemented on one storage device at the same time. H3C CF storage devices of different models can synchronize and copy different data, and CF devices of different models can form storage federation
2.CPU+ASIC chip: The advanced fifth-generation ASIC chip implements functions such as thin provisioning, deduplication, and RAID computing in a hardware-accelerated manner, which can easily cope with mixed IO loads in virtualized environments and cloud computing, enabling both transaction intensive and throughput intensive workloads to run on the same storage resources without resource contention
3. Real multi-control system: multi-controller architecture, the use of high bandwidth, low latency PCI-E bus point-to-point full mesh direct interconnection between multiple controllers, multiple controllers can concurrently access the same LUN space, to ensure that the performance with the controller data growth and linear growth; In the case of multiple controllers, the storage system can maintain high performance when multiple controllers fail
4. The underlying virtualization technology inside the storage system ensures high I/O performance of the storage system, does not contain hot disks, and can be rebuilt at high speed in case of disk failure. Different RAID types, such as RAID0/1/5/6/6/10/50/60, can exist on the same disk
5. High availability: Up to 99.9999% availability, providing T10-PI consistency data detection protection from host HBA ports to disk arrays to ensure data integrity; It also provides the data high availability function and the storage-based data copy protection function. When data is written to storage, two to four data copies can be created according to the policy to protect data security. In addition, the storage system supports data loss and application interruption when at least one disk expansion cabinet is powered off or faulty, providing data protection at the expansion cabinet level
6. High applicability: IT can create no less than 65536 virtual volumes and no less than 16000 host connections, suitable for various existing IT environments
7. Enterprise-level functions: Powerful snapshot, clone, thin provisioning, deduplication, compression, automatic layering, one-click RAID type conversion, storage federation, heterogeneous storage data migration, flash backup data protection solution and asynchronous disaster recovery, 3DC disaster recovery, hypermetro, hypermetro +3DC enterprise-level functions
8. Heterogeneous storage virtualization: The CF series storage devices can take over heterogeneous storage arrays from different third-party vendors, support products from mainstream storage vendors, and implement data migration.
