Description

Microsoft Azure StorSimple effectively addresses the demands of applications focused on performance and capacity, offering a comprehensive hybrid cloud storage solution tailored for enterprises. It seamlessly integrates physical arrays for datacenter implementations with virtual arrays suitable for smaller environments, such as remote offices that rely on network-attached storage (NAS). This on-demand infrastructure eliminates the necessity to invest in and maintain expensive on-premises equipment for specialized projects. Additionally, with the ability to utilize local storage for enhanced performance, businesses can conveniently keep all volume data stored locally. Managing data growth becomes simpler, as StorSimple can automatically transfer inactive primary data from on-premises storage to the cloud, facilitating effortless capacity expansion. Moreover, it removes the complexities associated with maintaining separate backup systems by utilizing cloud snapshots for off-site data protection, while also negating the need to replicate data to a secondary datacenter, thanks to the capabilities of cloud storage. This dual approach not only helps in optimizing resources but also ensures streamlined data management across various enterprise environments.

Description

Sangfor aStor represents an innovative software-defined storage solution that consolidates block, file, and object storage into a cohesive, elastically scalable resource pool, utilizing a fully symmetrical distributed architecture to facilitate on-demand provisioning of high-performance and cost-effective storage tiers tailored to various service needs. It can be deployed as either an integrated hardware-software system or as standalone software, with the ability to scale from a minimal setup of three commodity x86 nodes to expansive cloud-scale clusters comprising thousands of nodes, allowing for EB-level capacity growth. The system's multi-node parallel processing and intelligent caching mechanisms—including RDMA, SSD hot-data caching, and layering—achieve exceptional throughput, IOPS, and performance with small I/O operations, significantly enhancing cache hit rates to 90% and improving small I/O processing by as much as 65%.
