OceanStor Technical Specifications
Huawei’s flagship enterprise storage range. It covers multiple types of needs: all-flash storage, hybrid-flash storage, distributed storage, AI storage, HCI, backup, and more.
All-Flash Storage
All-Flash storage is designed to deliver extreme performance, maximum reliability, and exceptional responsiveness, even under heavy workloads. It is intended for critical environments where availability, speed, and stability are essential.
Hybrid-Flash Storage
Hybrid-Flash storage intelligently combines the speed of flash with the high capacity of traditional disks, offering an optimal balance of performance, capacity, and cost. It is the ideal solution for organizations seeking to improve performance without investing in a 100% flash system.
AI Storage
AI storage is specifically designed to meet the demanding requirements of training and deploying artificial intelligence models. It provides massive I/O, ultra-high bandwidth, and very low latency, enabling efficient support for GPU clusters, deep learning workloads, and complex data pipelines.
Distributed / Scale-Out Storage
Distributed storage is built to handle massive data volumes through a scalable, high-performance, and resilient architecture. It perfectly addresses the needs of modern environments such as big data, cloud, AI, and multi-server infrastructures.
HCI / Compute Storage
Hyperconverged (HCI) solutions unify storage, compute power, and sometimes networking within a single platform, creating an infrastructure that is simple, flexible, and fast to deploy. This “Compute + Storage” model provides an ideal foundation for virtualized environments, private clouds, hybrid clouds, and modernized IT infrastructures.
Backup & Data Protection Solutions
Backup and data protection solutions offer a comprehensive approach to securing, preserving, and restoring an organization’s critical data. They cover the full lifecycle of information, including backup, recovery, archiving, disaster recovery (DR), and the management of warm or historical data.
Production Storage Array
OceanStor Dorado is an enterprise-class all-flash storage range delivering very high performance, continuous availability, and maximum efficiency for critical environments. With its end-to-end NVMe architecture and intelligent software stack, it meets the needs of the most demanding applications, such as databases, virtualization, ERP, real-time analytics, and AI.
Extreme Performance (End-to-End NVMe and Multi-Controller Architecture) :
-
- Full NVMe architecture (from controller to disk), eliminating bottlenecks inherited from SAS/SATA protocols.
- Ultra-low latency measured in microseconds, ideal for transactional workloads and latency-sensitive applications.
- Support for RDMA and NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-oF) for even faster access.
- Ability to sustain performance even under peak load thanks to a scale-up / scale-out design.
Data Protection Storage Array
OceanProtect secures your data at every stage through a unified solution capable of addressing all scenarios, including backup, recovery, disaster recovery, and archiving, ensuring comprehensive and continuous protection throughout the entire data lifecycle. It covers hot data through disaster recovery, warm data through fast backup and restore, and cold data through long-term archiving.
The solution includes several components depending on requirements :
-
-
Near-instant snapshots with minimal performance impact
-
Granular volume or file-level restore, depending on configuration
-
Clones for test, development, or reporting environments
-
Backup Storage
-
Data Security Appliance (security, ransomware protection)
-
Remote site-to-site replication for DRP and business continuity
-
RPO/RTO scenarios tailored to each application
-
Archival Storage Array
The archiving solution centralizes business archives on a reliable platform designed for long-term retention and regulatory compliance.
Based on OceanStor/Pacific, it offers advanced features such as WORM mode, ransomware protection, multi-site replication, and multi-protocol compatibility (object, NFS, etc.), ensuring secure and durable preservation of data.
OceanStor Pacific :
-
- A scalable, distributed object storage system
- Linear expansion of both capacity and performance
- WORM features for secure archiving
- Ransomware protection
- Management of large volumes of unstructured data
- Ideal for scenarios such as long-term archiving and large-scale backup
- Scale-out architecture enabling easy node addition
- Linear expansion in capacity and performance
- High performance for parallel access
- Support for multiple access protocols (S3, NFS, etc.)
