Leveraging on QLogic 25GbE technology, the next generation offering of Huawei’s OceanStor 9000 system will consolidate storage, archiving and analyzing capabilities using a symmetrically distributed architecture to deliver performance, large-scale horizontal expansion capabilities and a super-large, single-file system that provides shared storage for structured and unstructured data.
“Our new OceanStor 9000 product is slated to improve the customer experience, bringing higher network throughput and storage performance to applications, such as media and entertainment, and HPC. By enhancing our offering with 25GbE connectivity from QLogic, we will improve its massive data processing efficiency and provide customers with a seamless path to 100GbE for extreme scalability.” said Fan Ruiqi, president for storage product line at Huawei.
Built on a scalable and programmable platform, QLogic’s next generation of Ethernet connectivity leverages the low-latency of RDMA-based Ethernet protocols to create new levels of application and storage scalability, acceleration and delivery. The Huawei solution will enhance data sharing and analysis efficiency, allowing for the acceleration of cloud and hyperscale workloads. Additionally, with 2.5 times the bandwidth and a reduction in latency with Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA), customers will be able to scale current workloads as their data continues to grow exponentially.
Shaun Walsh, VP of corporate marketing at QLogic said,”We are proud to work with Huawei on the development of the next generation in scale-out NAS performance. Our new Ethernet connectivity platform is targeted toward cloud, enterprise and MSPs who need to scale to 100Gb/s bandwidth and accelerate application delivery by reducing latency with RoCE or iWARP. The bottom line is that customers buy our products to improve revenue, scale operations and reduce OPEX; this new scale-out NAS solution will be a critical tool in accomplishing these business goals.”
