PLStor S Series Hybrid Flash Storage

Deep Fusion

Equipped with PLStor OS storage operating system, PLStor series mid-range storage further leverages the advantages of integration, providing users with a converged and flexibly deployable unified resource pool, allowing user data to flow freely and helping enterprise IT evolve to cloud architecture.

Flash memory integration: PLStor series mid-range storage has the ability to integrate the dual advantages of SSD storage and HDD storage, which can give full play to the performance of different types of media in hybrid scenarios, provide multiple SSD acceleration methods for blocks and files (SSD cache, intelligent tiering), and achieve ideal benefits in performance and capacity. It supports interconnection with different types, grades, and generations of flash memory of PowerLeader; and realizes multi-dimensional flash memory integration from data, management, and operation and maintenance.

Integration of SAN and NAS: PLStor series mid-range storage can provide SAN and NAS services to meet the needs of business elastic development, improve storage resource utilization, and effectively reduce TCO. SAN services and NAS services are directly provided by the underlying storage resource pool, shortening the access path to storage resources, thereby ensuring that the performance and functions of the two services (SAN and NAS) are industry-leading.

Integration of storage resource pools: With built-in heterogeneous virtualization capabilities, the PLStor series of mid-range storage can efficiently take over storage arrays from other mainstream vendors and integrate them into a unified resource pool, eliminating data silos. Resources can be centrally managed, automated, and orchestrated. At the same time, migration interruptions of third-party devices can be achieved, and migration operations can be automatically completed with tools, reducing the time consumption by an average of 60%.

Integration of multiple data centers: PLStor series mid-range storage provides gateway-free SAN and NAS integrated active-active solutions to achieve cross-data center business continuity; supports smooth upgrade from active-active data center to 3DC, providing two-site three-center business continuity guarantee; can achieve 64:1 multi-level DC, providing data centralized disaster recovery and protection.

Cloud integration: Provides storage hybrid cloud solutions, realizes data disaster recovery between private and public clouds through on-cloud and off-cloud resource collaboration and data flow, and helps enterprises smoothly transform storage services to the cloud.

Stable and reliable

Achieve 99.9999% high availability from products to solutions

Reliable hardware design: The controller, south bridge, network card, and SAS controller are integrated into one module to reduce failure points, and the reliability of the core processing platform is guaranteed by module-level error recovery, ECC and other RAS technologies; the SSD hard disk combines wear leveling and Huawei’s patented anti-wear leveling algorithm to improve the reliability of the SSD disk; the intelligent BMC management module realizes comprehensive management and control of the processing platform, memory and other components, and the fault recovery time is shortened from 2 hours to 10 minutes.

Multi-controller load balancing: PLStor series mid-range storage provides load balancing technology between multiple controllers, eliminating single points of failure, achieving high system availability, and protecting stable online services.

Unique fast data recovery technology: Using innovative block-level virtualization technology, the reconstruction time of 1TB of data is reduced from 10 hours to 30 minutes. Compared with traditional storage, the risk of data failure caused by hard disk failure is reduced by 95%.

Rich data protection solutions: Hyper series data protection software includes snapshot, cloning, integrated backup, remote replication, active-active, 3DC and other data protection technologies, which can meet the data protection needs of users within the system, locally, remotely and in multiple locations, achieve 99.9999% availability, and ensure user business continuity and data availability.

Leading SAN and NAS integrated active-active protection: PLStor series mid-range storage supports SAN and NAS integrated active-active, ensuring high availability of database and file services. With HyperMetro AA active-active, load-balanced active-active mirroring and non-interrupted cross-site takeover can be achieved between storage systems, ensuring zero loss of key application data and zero service interruption, so that users’ core application systems are not troubled by downtime. At the same time, the gateway-free design can effectively reduce users’ acquisition costs and deployment complexity. A single set of equipment can be smoothly upgraded to active-active, and can be further expanded to a two-site three-center solution.

Smart Management

Intelligent operation and maintenance management: intelligent remote monitoring, 7*24 active monitoring and remote maintenance of storage cloud, automatic inspection, minute-level fault perception, automatic fault reporting and ticket creation; intelligent fault diagnosis, end-to-end path visualization and performance correlation analysis from host to storage, to achieve automatic fault location.

Intelligent prediction and assessment: Intelligent risk prediction, based on multi-dimensional analysis and prediction of hard disk/configuration/capacity/performance, to identify system risks in advance; intelligent business planning, host business load feature analysis and system capacity prediction, to plan system performance and capacity requirements in advance.
