UIS Hyper Converged Unified Storage Solution

Demands introduction

In the digital age, the vigorous development of cloud computing, the Internet, social media, and big data has caused explosive growth of data. The technical architecture of the hyper converged infrastructure faces many challenges in responding to storage needs, including support for unified resource pool management of multiple storage protocols, massive horizontal scaling, increasing performance requirements, reliability of long-term data storage, and low total cost of ownership (TCO).

Introduction to unified storage solution

UIS fully-distributed unified storage solution is designed to address diverse data storage needs. Based on a converged architecture, it supports a variety of storage protocols, and provides access to a variety of storage, including blocks, files, and objects. It also achieves unified management of resource pools, flexible expansion on demand, establishment of a hyper converged system centered on the UIS cloud platform to support business scenarios across the industry, as well as the convergence of VMs (containers) + unified storage (blocks, files, objects).

Pain points solved:

Based on the hyper converged architecture, it supports distributed storage of multiple storage protocols and application scenarios across the industry.

It converges with unified distributed storage to achieve unified maintenance management for multiple storage resource pools.

It has flexible and scalable storage resources with on-demand capacity expansion.

Since the IT budget is limited, the cost-efficiency weighs greater. At least 2 structures can support VMs, containers, functional computing, block/file/object storage, and other business.

Block + file + object unified storage architecture

Block storage provides the base storage resource pool for the hyper converged platform. Based on different NAS file storage protocols, it provides shared file storage for services. By adding high-capacity object storage nodes, it provides object storage resources externally. H3C UIS hyper converged solution provides unified management to block + NAS + object storage resources.

A group of H3C UIS hyper converged clusters builds a block + NAS + object unified storage resource pool, significantly reducing TCO.

Different types of storage resource pools are isolated from each other and centrally managed by H3C UIS. Therefore, the resource occupation is not mutually affected.

Unified distributed storage based on the hyper converged architecture fulfills storage and computing resource sharing.
