Unified SAN/NAS Scale-out NAS Solid State Systems SMB SAN Large & Midrange SAN Virtual Tape Libraries

Highlights

Scale-out NAS:

  • Clustered NAS, near linear scalability and capacity up to 15PB's
  • Ask about visiting the Huawei Symantec ThunderCloud NAS Cluster installation: with 15PB global namespace, encompassing 40 cabinets, 7,680 HDDs, 1TB cache, and 22 controller chassis on 100 square meters of floor space and drawing 208 KW of total power

T-Series SAN:

  • Provides high port density Fibre Channel and /or iSCSI connectivity modules to seamlessly fit into your existing SAN infrastructure.
  • Allows flexible capacity expansion for easy growth up to 4.3PB within a single storage system.

Tiered Storage:

  • Reduces investment costs with Dynamic Storage Tiering (DST) by automating data migration among different storage media (FC, SAS, SATA & SSD drives) according to file access frequency

Performance:

  • World Record Performance: Our 1.3PB Clustered NAS, HPC installation shattered the SPECsfs2008 NFS benchmark with 636,036 ops per second-27% faster than the old record.
  • "Huawei Symantec has blown EMC and its nearly all-flash VNX off the SPECsfs2008 benchmark throne with a clustered NAS system without using SSDs." - The Register

High Availability:

  • Fail-over, fail-back and load-balancing for high availability
  • Fully redundant configurations to ensure 99.999% availability
  • Advanced Data Protection and Disaster Recovery

Energy Efficient:

  • Advanced energy efficiency management options including disk spin-down and 16-speed fans

VTL:

  • Integrated solutions that couple tape virtualization and data de-duplication technology with ease of operation, administration, and maintenance (OAM). Uses include concurrent data backup, data tiered backup, remote disaster recovery and distributed data backup.

Unified Storage Systems Management

Simple, policy-driven unified management that controls data protection, disaster recovery (DR), system management and system energy efficiency.
