Enterprise Storage Solution
Your Next Enterprise-Grade Storage Solution
Features & Capabilities
aStor utilizes the SSD cache layer to merge random small IOs, and change the random small IOs into large continuous IOs, thereby improving the processing performance of HDDs for random IOs by 80%.
Video processing and database systems have different performance requirements and experience perception. aStor can intelligently perceive the characteristics of the business, and then automatically adjust the appropriate IO path and resource allocation in the background through algorithm optimization. It can optimize performance without human intervention, for better user experience and resource utilization.
Sangfor aStor Value Proposition
Distributed Architecture for Flexible Expansion
Software-defined storage adopts a distributed architecture, which realizes flexible expansion and on-demand expansion when the capacity or performance become insufficient. Provision on-demand without full capacity planning in advance.
Distributed Architecture Parallel Processing for High Performance
Lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
aStor constructs storage resource pools through standard X86 servers and distributed storage software, achieve low TCO storage architecture by software: One platform with block storage, file and object storage services to avoid repeated investment; One-stop operation and maintenance management, one-click monitoring and one-click migration; No need to purchase software licenses again when refreshing the hardware.
Open Platform to Manage the Entire Cluster
Advantages of aStor Unified Storage
High Reliability
Through technologies such as sub-health monitoring, fault monitoring, and rapid fault repair, aStor has realized all-round security protection before, during, and after the event, and achieved 99.9999% data reliability on lower spec hardware.
Before the event, potential data risks can be discovered in advance and automatically repaired through hard disk sub-health, data verification and inspection, etc.
During the event, data redundancy can be achieved through multiple copies, erasure code snapshot replication and other technologies to ensure that data is not lost.
After the event, service can be recovered quickly. aStor has made a lot of optimizations and improvements to cater the slow performance issue of traditional repairs. With technologies such as metadata merging and repairing and data global distributed repairing, the efficiency of data reconstruction is dozens of times higher than that of traditional way. Data recovery can be done within 10-30 minutes.
High Performance
aStor storage system fully stimulates hardware potential through RDMA, intelligent caching and other technologies to achieve high performance and low cost.
High IOPS workload carry
Hot data cache hit rate reaches 90%
aStor built-in heat map algorithm, using its multi-dimensional integration mechanism, can effectively capture core hotspot data. Thus, the data read by the business system can be directly hit and read from the high-performance resource pool, and the hit rate reaches 90%.
Small IO read and write performance increased by 65%
Using high-speed SSD as the aStor cache medium, the system identifies small IOs automatically when data is written, and writes them to the cache first to improve the processing efficiency of small IOs. When reading data, it preferentially retrieves hot data from the SSD high-performance resource pool to improve read and write performance. The combination of intelligent caching and layering can increase the small IO processing capacity by 65%.”
