At CeBIT 2016, Huawei showcased its next-generation converged storage, providing service-driven, on-demand, and cloud computing–oriented storage services, greatly improving the service efficiency and enabling easy IT construction and management and agile services.
The Huawei OceanStor 18000 V3 high-end storage systems are dedicated to setting a new benchmark for the high-end enterprise storage field and providing the best data services for enterprises’ mission-critical businesses.
With the industry-leading SmartMatrix 2.0 system architecture, HyperMetro gateway-free active-active feature, flash-oriented convergence technology, next-generation hardware platform, and a full range of efficiency improvement and data protection software, the OceanStor 18000 V3 delivers world-leading reliability, performance, and solutions that meet the storage needs of various applications such as large-scale database OLTP/OLAP and cloud computing.
Applicable to sectors such as government, finance, telecommunications, energy, transportation, and manufacturing, the OceanStor 18000 V3 is the best choice for mission-critical applications.
Comprising two models, the OceanStor 18500 V3 and the OceanStor 18800 V3, the series sets a new benchmark for high-end storage systems, delivering 99.9999% solution availability, superior performance, and future-oriented cloud-ready convergence features to support enterprises in attaining consistent service availability.
“Enterprise IT environments are growing more complex to meet the challenges of cloud computing, big data, mobile, and social utilities. Products and solutions need to meet these challenges and address the core service needs of enterprises,” said Cameron Bahar, Chief Technology Officer, Huawei Storage Product Line.
“Huawei’s next-generation enterprise storage system, the OceanStor 18000 V3 series, is a reliable and high performing solution to overcome enterprise challenges in the cloud age.”
The OceanStor 18800 V3 is of enhanced configurations and is scalable up to 16 controllers and 27.6 PB capacity (1 PB = 1000 TB).
Other product specifications include, innovative flash memory technology, automated storage media identification, and configuration optimization algorithms.
Both products in the OceanStor 18000 V3 series deliver a 95% improvement to disk reconstruction speed, and a gateway-free and active-active disaster recovery solution which validates its use with most mission-critical services.
When compared to previous versions, the OceanStor 18000 V3 series also doubles the computing capability, delivering up to 3 million IOPS, reducing the access latency to sub-1ms, and accelerating the service response speed tenfold.
Huawei will continue to develop storage products that address customer and partner challenges, to lead the way in the storage market, Bahar concluded.
