2. Excellent performance advantages-Direct data access mode and out-of-band data transmission architecture are adopted to give full play to the bandwidth and performance advantages of SAN environment, which is more incisive with the cooperation of high-end storage systems and large-scale storage environments.
3. The system supports multiple file systems and multiple storage strategies, so it can support different storage requirements of different types of applications more flexibly.
4. Strong scalability-support up to ZB system storage capacity and 2PB giant files, and support hundreds of millions of directories and files. By adding storage devices, the system can expand storage capacity, IO bandwidth and load capacity online.
5. Enterprise-level data reliability-BWFS is a SAN file system with several patented technologies, which provides users with the greatest data reliability through file system logs and fast FSCK, as well as unique file-level fault isolation technology and multi-file system support. Through the long-term stable operation and experience accumulation of hundreds of large-scale data application projects, it has become the source of confidence in BWFS data reliability.
6. High availability of the system-MDC designed with redundant architecture and fully redundant SAN architecture supports multi-path configuration in FC and iSCSI environments, thus realizing no single point of failure of the storage system and ensuring the continuous operation of the whole storage system.
7. The system has intelligent fault detection and performance counter functions of client and metadata controller, which can not only help users locate various fault causes, but also locate and analyze IO characteristics, so as to conduct performance analysis and optimization. Built-in anti-fragmentation allocation algorithm and online defragmentation tool make users not worry about long-term fragmentation of the system.
8. Support rich data management functions such as quota, ACL, snapshot and data migration interface, and can also cooperate with third-party products to form solutions such as continuous data protection and data archiving.
9. Flexible storage scheme configuration: third-party disk arrays are supported. In a multi-disk array environment, all storage spaces (LUNs) can be virtualized into a single storage space through storage virtualization, and different LUNs can be independently used in different file systems through multi-file system support, which is convenient for users to configure flexible solutions according to their needs. Built-in native multi-path support can realize multi-path function without relying on disk array multi-path software, which makes users more flexible in the choice of disk array and operating system platform.
. Support 4Gb/s or 2Gb/s high-performance hard disk and large-capacity SATA hard disk mixed use to meet the needs of tiered storage and ILM solutions.
