Product Features

Simplified

Simplified configuration:

A brand-new GUI greatly simplifies the configuration process of traditional storage. This facilitates storage system configuration in just 30 minutes by scanning
code, without assistancs e from dedicated personnel. This meets the key requirements of SMBs for simple and easy-to-use IT systems.

Simplified O&M:

Huawei OceanStor Dorado 2100 all-flash storage system combines general-purpose cloud intelligence with customized edge intelligence over a built-in intelligent
hardware platform, providing incremental training and deep learning for a personalized customer experience. The DME IQ intelligent O&M and management platform collects and analyzes over 190,000 device patterns on the live network in real time, extracts general rules, and enhances basic O&M.

Intelligence throughout service lifecycle:

Intelligent management covers resource planning, provisioning,system tuning, risk prediction, and fault location, and enables 60-day and 14-day predictions of performance bottlenecks and disk faults respectively, and immediate solutions for 93% of problems detected.

Non-disruptive upgrade(NDU):

OceanStor Dorado 2100 supports load balancing and NDU. O&M personnel do not need to prepare much on the host side before an upgrade, greatly improving O&M efficiency.

Simplified design and architecture:

OceanStor Dorado 2100 comes at a reduced length of 410 mm, taking up 21% less physical space than its previous generation,and 33% less space than other peer storage devices on the market. It can be placed directly in the network cabinet, and is easy for one person to transport.

Reliable

Reliable 99.9999% reliability:

Four layers of disks, architectures,systems, and solutions ensure 24/7 service continuity.

NAS Active-Active:

Huawei OceanStor Dorado 2100 provides the industry’s only gateway-free active-active NAS solution. If a single storage system fails, services will fail over within 10 seconds, ensuring high efficiency and reliability of applications. In addition, the solution can be smoothty upgraded to the geo-redundant3DC DR solution for high-level data protection.

Always on SSD:

Leveraging global wear-leveling technology, Huawei SSDs can balance their loads for a longer lifespan of each SSD. In addition, Huawei’s patented anti-wear leveling technology prevents simultaneous multi-SSD failures and improves the reliability of the entire system.

Multiple

Multiple Innovative hardware platform:

The hardware platform of Huawei storage enables E2E data acceleration, improving the system performance by 50% compared to the previous generation.

● The intelligent accelerator module analyzes and understands I/O rules of multiple application models based on machine learning frameworks to implement intelligent prefetching of memory space. This improves the read cache hit ratio by 50%.
● The intelligent SSD hosts the core Flash Translation Layer(FTL) algorithm, accelerating data access in SSDs and reducing the write latency by half.                      ●The intelligent hardware has a built-in Huawei storage fault library that accelerates component fault location and diagnosis, and shortens the fault recovery time from 2 hours to just 10 minutes.

Innovative Scale-Out File System:

Based on controllers and operating systems, Huawei OceanStor Dorado 2100 runs a globally shared distributed file system, ensuring NAS performance.

● The balancing algorithm evenly distributes directories and files in a file system to each controller, allowing a single file system to fully utilize the resources of a storage cluster. In addition, directories and their subfiles can be assigned to the same controller for I/O processing, preventing cross-controller forwarding.
● Intelligent metadata prefetching and eviction algorithms ensure faster directory file search, while the metadata compaction algorithm packs more metadata within 8 KB data blocks to improve cache and prefetch efficiency.
● RAID 2.0+ globally distributes data blocks of large files to all disks in the storage pool, providing 50% higher write bandwidth of large files than the second-best player

Disk-controller collaboration:

The data layout between SSDs and controllers is coordinated synchronously. Aggregates multiple discrete data blocks into a unified big data block for disk flushing to reduce write amplification. Ensures that read and write I/Os are always prioritized, shortening the access latency.

High quality:

With abundant NAS features and functions, the entry-level all-flash storage system delivers similar quality to that from a high-end storage system, meeting the needs of small- and medium-sized enterprises.

Green

Flash media:

The all-flash architecture reduces storage power consumption and OPEX by 30% and 20%+, respectively, compared with the industry average.

Low-power hardware platform:

The all-in-one CPU supported by the low-power SoC design slashes mainboard power consumption.

Fan speed adjustment:

The fan supports automatic speed adjustment and can cool down quickly, improving the product’s energy efficiency by 4% to 9%.
