E2E NVMe capability is the most important technology to help OceanStor Dorado reach the fastest file operation speed that the industry has ever seen. E2E NVMe means that NVMe is used throughout the entire data path, from the front-end interface to the back-end SSDs. This eliminates the performance bottleneck caused by traditional SCSI protocols and improves the I/O efficiency and latency significantly. E2E NVMe enables OceanStor Dorado to deliver up to 20 million IOPS and 0.1 ms latency for file operations. Reference: [OceanStor Dorado All-Flash Storage Product Brochure]

OceanProtect has three main highlights that make it a leading backup storage product in the industry. First, it offers fast backup and recovery with E2E acceleration, high bandwidth, and instant access technologies, delivering up to 155 TB/h backup bandwidth and 172 TB/h recovery bandwidth1. Second, it provides efficient data reduction with multi-layer deduplication, feature-based reduction, and E2E data reduction technologies, achieving a premium datareduction ratio of up to 72:11. Third, it ensures high reliability with cyber resilience, system resilience, and lifecycle management features. OceanProtect adopts the industry’s exclusive active-active dual-controller architecture that guarantees uninterrupted backup services even in the event of a controller failure1.

OceanProtect solution provides 25TB/h backup bandwidth in this case, shorten the backup window from 16h to 4h. Comprehensive Short Explanation: The correct statement about OceanProtect Case of China’s #1 Commercial Bank is that OceanProtect solution provides 25TB/h backup bandwidth in this case, shorten the backup window from 16h to 4h. The other statements are incorrect because:

• The OceanProtect model in this case is X9000, not X6000.
• The joint backup solution in this case consists of NBU and X9000 hardware, and to replace Legacy VTL and Tape Library. Reference: Partner Capability & Resources Center - Huawei Enterprise

Saint-Luc hospital chose Huawei Dorado for their application system because of three main reasons. First, Dorado supports both SAN and NAS protocols in one box, which means it can host all kinds of applications such as databases, file servers, virtual machines, containers, etc., without requiring separate devices or gateways. Second, Dorado can implement an active-active solution without adding any hardware or licenses, which saves cost and improves reliability. The active-active solution synchronizes data between two storage systems in real time and ensures zero service interruption and zero data loss in case of any failure in one system or site. Third, Dorado offers higher performance than hybrid storage with its all-flash technology and E2E NVMe capability. Dorado delivers up to 20 million IOPS and 0.1 ms latency for file operations, which makes the applications run smoothly and efficiently.

OceanStor Pacific mainly focuses on unstructured data service business such as big data analytics, backup and archiving, video surveillance, and media production. OceanStor Pacific is a distributed storage system that is designed for massive data applications. It

In the concept of Flash-to-Flash-to-Anything (F2F2X), anything can be used as the destination for data archiving or long-term retention. Anything can be disk, tape, cloud, or Blu-ray devices that provide different levels of capacity, performance, cost, and reliability for data storage5. F2F2X is a data infrastructure architecture that provides all-flash primary and backup storageand diversified archive storage for enterprise data. It aims to efficiently unleash the potential of data and activate the potential of “4 +” (Data acceleration +; Data resilience +; Data mobility +; Data management +) data centers

RAID-TP is not a technology used by OceanProtect to accelerate backup and recovery performance. RAID-TP is a technology used by OceanStor Dorado to improve data reliability and availability. OceanProtect uses other technologies to speed up backup and recovery, such as front-end network optimization, CPU computing optimization, and back-end network optimization.

OceanStor Dorado high-end product can tolerate 7 out of 8 controllers failed, with SmartMatrix architecture. This is because the SmartMatrix architecture supports cross-engine active-active mode, which means each controller can access any LUN in the system. Therefore, even if only one controller is left, the system can still provide services.

In Huawei E2E anti-ransomware solution from production storage, to backup storage and to DR storage, the products are OceanStor Dorado, OceanStor Pacific, and OceanProtect. OceanStor Dorado is the production storage that provides high performance and reliability for critical applications. OceanStor Pacific is the backup storage that provides efficient data reduction and protection for large-scale data. OceanProtect is the DR storage that provides fast backup and recovery for disaster scenarios .

SmartMatrix is a feature that helps OceanStor Dorado high-end storage get higher reliability than others. SmartMatrix is a fully interconnected and fully redundant matrix architecture that consists of multiple controllers, switches, and interconnects. It provides multiple data paths and ensures no single point of failure. SmartMatrix also supports online controller replacement and fault isolation, which improves the availability and serviceability of OceanStor Dorado.

Archive storage is a type of data storage that is used to store and preserve data that is rarely accessed, but may be needed for legal, compliance, or historical purposes. Archive storage typically has lower performance and higher capacity than primary storage, and often uses compression, deduplication, and encryption to reduce costs and enhance security. Archive storage can be located on-premises or in the cloud

Oil and gas exploration in the energy industry is a typical opportunity for OceanStor Pacific. OceanStor Pacific provides HPC storage service with POSIX file system for high-performance computing scenarios, such as oil exploration. It supports concurrent access from millions of nodes and delivers ultra-high throughput and bandwidth. It also leverages E2E NVMe technology to achieve ultra-low latency and high IOPS for file operations.

OceanStor Dorado can support multiple types of 3DC solution, which is the core of the Geo-Redundant Solution that ensures service continuity and data reliability in case of disasters. The 3DC solution consists of a production center, an intra-city DR center, and a remote DR center. The supported 3DC topologies are parallel, serial, and star. In parallel topology, both the production center and the intra-city DR center form remote replication relationships with the remote DR center. In serial topology, the production center forms a remote replication relationship with the intra-city DR center, which in turn forms another remote replication relationship with the remote DR center. In star topology, the production center forms a HyperMetro relationship with the intra-city DR center, and both of them form remote replication relationships with the remote DR center.

DME Storage is the software developed by Huawei that provides your data center with centralized management and O&M for storage devices.
