FusionStorage Intelligent Distributed Storage
FusionStorage is Huawei’s latest and greatest intelligent distributed storage product. It provides elastic on-demand services powered by cloud infrastructure and meets enterprise-grade key-workload requirements.
FusionStorage provides block, object, big data, and file storage for upper-layer applications, as required, and can be easily scaled-out to support the business of today and harness that of tomorrow. It delivers ultimate performance and comprehensive enterprise-grade features and works with Huawei 64-bit ARMv8 Kunpeng series processors to increase IOPS and reduce power consumption under the same hardware configuration.
FusionStorage helps enterprises build a brand-new, reliable, efficient, and intelligent storage service platform to enable large-scale agile data access in an intelligent world.
1 ms Latency
Accelerated by NVMe SSDs and AI Fabric, FusionStorage delivers a proven performance of 4.5 million IOPS at a latency of less than 1 ms in SPC-1 V3, meeting the application performance requirements of millions of VMs. Dynamic deduplication and compression ensure high data reduction ratios and provide stable storage performance, achieving both high availability and superior efficiency.
Elastic erasure coding ensures system reliability is not compromised upon simultaneous failure of up to four nodes or four cabinets. Cross-cluster, gateway-free distributed active-active protection provides six-nines solution-level availability to move core enterprise services to the cloud. Multi-level reliability technologies for components, nodes, cabinets, and data centers enable services to be deployed on demand.
Intelligent Management
The intelligent data service and system O&M platform provides full-lifecycle intelligent system management, from resource planning, provisioning, and system optimization, to risk prediction and fault location.
