Unified multiprotocol platform
Combines block, file and object storage, with SMB, AFP, SFTP and iSCSI access.
Data Backup Storage Solution
Centralized production data raises backup, recovery and infrastructure costs
As virtualization and cloud computing spread, VMs, databases and file systems increasingly share infrastructure. Growing production datasets make backup windows, recovery times, network bandwidth and storage capacity critical concerns.
Traditional designs build compute, storage and networking separately, increasing complexity and investment. Scattered backup copies complicate recovery. Enterprises need production storage, backup storage, remote protection and ongoing scalability in a coordinated design.
Solution overview
With the rapid development of cloud computing in China, virtualization and hyperconvergence have become mainstream IT infrastructure approaches,
with a steadily growing user base.
Storage is essential to virtualization and cloud platforms. Technologies such as VM live migration depend on shared storage,
while snapshots, thin provisioning, cloning and replication are closely linked to storage.
All VMs and data reside on storage, making storage planning and architecture particularly important.
Hyperconvergence combines standard hardware units with a scale-out software-defined architecture to create a unified pool of compute, storage,
networking and security resources.
A well-known robotics manufacturer evaluating production-data expansion selected Jingcun 9000 series converged storage,
valuing its ALL IN ONE combination of capabilities,
which improved management efficiency and reduced operational complexity and maintenance costs. Jingcun also provided 7*24 support and a 1-to-1 tailored delivery plan,
with delivery documentation and operational training that earned positive customer feedback.
Solution details
The architecture integrates Huawei virtualization and Sangfor hyperconvergence with Jingcun converged storage to support the enterprise’s production workloads.
Key advantages:
1. Jingcun converged storage unifies block, file and object services. Direct manufacturer supply substantially reduces costs.
2. Multiple access protocols, including SMB, AFP, SFTP and iSCSI.
3. Online expansion without downtime for critical workloads.
4. Read/write caching accelerates small-file IOPS.
5. Simultaneous use of multiple interfaces, including IB, FC and NIC.
6. WEB GUI and CLI management, extensive permissions and AD domain integration.
7. Multiple alerts: audible warnings, indicators and internal-network email.
8. Redundant components: power supplies, drives and drive enclosures.
9. Multiple backup strategies.
Custom development is available beyond the specifications listed above.
