OceanStor Dorado 6.0.0 Basic Storage Service Configuration Guide
Application Scenarios
OceanStor Dorado V6 storage systems are dedicated to medium- and large-sized data centers of enterprises. They provide storage resources for storage of critical services, storage for virtual environments, and virtual desktop services.
Storage of Critical Services
OceanStor Dorado V6 boasts the innovative flash-oriented software architecture, leading hardware specifications, and 100% component redundancy. These advantages enable the storage systems to provide unparalleled levels of performance, consistently low latency, and 24/7 services for critical service storage. In addition, features such as HyperSnap, SmartDedupe, and SmartCompression reduce duplicate data, save storage space, and cut down the total cost of ownership (TCO) without any loss of performance. These features are well suited for data processing of service systems such as OLTP/OLAP databases and HPC.
Storage for Virtual Environments
OceanStor Dorado V6 incorporates server virtualization optimization technologies such as vStorage APIs for Array Integration (VAAI), VMware vStorage APIs for Storage Awareness (VASA), and Site Recovery Manager (SRM). It also employs numerous key technologies in virtual machines (VMs) to deploy VMs fast, enhances VMs' bearing capability and operation efficiency, and streamlines storage management in virtual environments, removing the worry of complicated storage systems in virtual environments.
Virtual Desktop Service
OceanStor Dorado V6 can easily meet large-scale virtual desktop deployment and performance requirements while reducing TCO with minimal SSDs in comparison to traditional storage systems. In addition, OceanStor Dorado V6 provides deduplication and compression to reduce duplicate data, saves storage space, and maximizes ROI. Performance-lossless snapshots and remote replication of OceanStor Dorado V6 improve data backup and disaster recovery capabilities without affecting normal use of virtual desktops.
