Traditional
storage systems are never meant to store and manage Today and Tomorrow’s ever growing amount of data,
information, or demand.Storage
System needs for Multi-Billions of files, Multi-Petabyte, 1,000’s of concurrent users, all sharing files are not rare or unique
requirement of today. Such storage system used to require expensive
and complex systems along with many staff engineers managing the system.
+ InfiniStorTM : THE Answer for
the Storages for Today and Tomorrow
+ InfiniStorTM is developed to
answer the 5 following needs:
●High Performance
●Highly Scalable
●Highly Reliable
●Advanced Features (including Cloud Storage
Service capabilities)
●Easy to Operate (or Self Operate)
InfiniStorTM
is a simple to install, manage, and use enterprise cluster storage
system.
InfiniStorTM is a high-performance, highly scalable, and highly
reliable storage system with a distributed parallel clustered file
system.
The system can be expanded as needed to gain more capacity or more
performance.
Flexible Thin-Provisioning allows online & real-time capacity increase
and decrease without stopping services.
With InfiniStor, user’s productivity is increased while radically reducing the total
cost of ownership of the storage systems.
With advanced features like Hot-Cold File Management, DeDuplication,
Information Lifecycle Management, Smart Remove, RemoteMirror &
RemoteSync, InfiniStor is definite choice for the large scale storage
system.
● High
Performance
All-Active Storage Servers deliver very
high performance aggregate bandwidths.
Each Storage Server delivers 200MB/sec using dual Gigabit Ethernet.
● Highly
Scalable
Practically, the capacity is unlimitedly
expandable.
10 Billion Files with 6 PetaBytes per Volume has been tested.
● Non-stop
Service
All file Metadata information and their
contents (objects) are multiply replicated within the storage
servers. Storage Service is prevented from stopping even in the cases
of failing Metadata Servers and Storage Servers.
● Shared Storage
Over 10’s
thousands users can access the single name space concurrently.
● Easy to Manage
Practically, the system runs by itself
with SELF-* capabilities including
For the critical components, advanced
system monitoring allows detecting hardware failures before the component
actually fails.
●Intuitive Management
InfiniStor provides intuitive but powerful
GUI and CLI management software for ● System Configuration ● System Monitoring (Performance, Usage, Capacity) ● Reporting / Alert ● Advanced Feature Management
●Compatibilities
Native LINUX support
NFS support
CIFS support
Native MS-Windows(future) will be support soon
lHot Contents Management
Some files are
more frequently accessed than others.
InfiniStor detects such more frequently accessed files as “HOT files” and
place the data into the Cache Memory, to the Faster Storage Servers, and
increase the Replica Counts.
Resulting in
faster file services to the clients.
lInformation
Lifecycle Management
lHierarchical
Storage Management
Data &
Information has life cycle and usage characteristics.Recently created files are used more
often than others.As time passes,
old files are used less and less.Eventually old files are likely won’t be used.However, they must not be removed from
the system.
InfiniStor ILM
understands such characteristics and organize the files in optimal
way.Dedicated ArchiveStorageServers
are used to store the old & less used files.ArchiveStorageServers normally has high
capacity & slower HDDs such as SATA HDDs.
Resulting in
more efficient system operations and dramatically reduces CAPEX and OPEX at
once.
lDeDuplication
In the multi
user storage systems, it is inherited that multiple copies of same content
are stored by same or different user(s).
InfiniStor removes the duplicated files with same contents, remaining only
1 copy.
Unlike many other DeDuplication technologies, InfiniStor DeDuplication does
not suffer
from performance degradation.In
fact, InfiniStor DeDuplication Technology increases the performance for
READ intensive applications such as Internet Service Providers.
DeDuplication
can reduce the storage capacity very much.
lRemoteMirror&
RemoteSync
Traditional
Storage systems are prone to failing services due to the variety of reasons
such as power outage, network outage, incidental human error, …
To prevent from
stopping services, traditional storage systems required to purchase
outrageously expensive DR solutions.InfiniStor is already equipped with Real Time RemoteMirror and Batch
Mode RemoteSync all in one box.
Resulting in
much less hassle and avoid complex system configurations.
lTiered
Storage System
Some Storage
Servers are faster than others. Fast
Storage Servers many be equipped with 12 SSD Disks and Dual 10G Ethernet NICs
while others many have 48 SATA HDDs with 1 Gigabit Ethernet NIC.InfiniStor groups the Storage Servers
into 9 groups according to the performance of them.Then manages the data files according to
the access frequency of the files in order to fully optimize the potentials
of Storage Servers.
Resulting in
most optimal uses of the system capabilities.
lSmart
Remove
The time cost of
removing files is critically high.
Smart Remove delays actual remove actions until the storage system usage
becomes
low or the capacity runs out.
Resulting in
faster data services to the application servers
lRebalancing
In large
InfiniStor Storage System, many storage servers may be with different sizes
and performances.
New storage added and old (or failed) storages are removed.
Over the time, the data placement will be skewed and not optimally balanced.
InfiniStor automatically balances the storage servers by optimally placing
the objects.
lWeb
Service API
In addition to
POSIX interfaces, InfiniStor provides REST APIs.
Native REST APIs makes InfiniStor easy for used in Cloud Computing and Web
Storage Service 2.0 environment.
Native REST-API
support allows Cloud Storage Service very easy and effective.
+ The following application areas are perfect fit for the InfiniStorTM
●Cloud
Storage Services
●Large Scale Email
Services
●Internet &
Streaming Services (VOD, UCC)
●IPTV Broadcasting
●Off Site Disaster Recovery
●Near-Line Backup
●Digital Content Creation: Pre and
Post Production
