Huawei IT Vice president of product line 、 Zhouyuefeng, President of intelligent data and storage, believes that , In the age of intelligence , To enable the digital economy, we must meet the future development needs of storage from three aspects , Including the full integration of cloud 、 automation , And flash Pratt & Whitney .

In the past quite a long time , Traditional storage systems allow data to form their own boundaries . This is no matter for value acquisition , Or life cycle management is extremely unfavorable .

“ We hope to break the traditional boundaries , Promote value innovation through deep integration .” Zhou Yuefeng said . Take the fusion of data protocols as an example , This will open up data islands and reduce data copies ; The second is the vertical integration of storage and database , Realize one-stop data processing to greatly improve performance ; Again , Further realize the goals of storage as a service and data as a service through full integration of cloud .

And the so-called flash Pratt & Whitney , Means through “ Always fast and always stable ” And more economical full flash products , Promote the popularization of full scene flash memory .

To achieve these goals ,2019 Years is a rare opportunity . not long ago ,Gartner Our market forecast provides a footnote for the arrival of the all flash era .

Gartner Previously, the magic quadrant of full flash memory and mechanical hybrid storage was merged , Make predictions at the same time , Think 2019 Annual total flash revenue will exceed that of hybrid storage . This prediction means that all flash memory technology will become the mainstream technology and enter the mainstream market .

Zhouyuefeng released intelligent storage OceanStor Dorado V6 The scene .

Huawei's new generation of intelligent storage OceanStor Dorado V6 It is at the intersection of such a vision goal and the choice of the times that .

The huge performance progress makes people see the significance and value that redefining the storage architecture can bring to enterprise users ——OceanStor Dorado V6 Of IOPS Reached 2000 ten thousand , And reduce the delay to 0.1ms.

Five chips made this leap —— Kun Peng 920、 Network chip 、 Management chip 、SSD Chip and shengteng AI chip 310 by OceanStor Dorado V6 Built an end-to-end extreme speed platform .

At the site of release , Huawei IT product line OceanStor Dorado Xie liming, product director, especially emphasized Kunpeng 920 Processor glory ： It's in SPECint benchmark The test scores exceeded 930 branch , rank first , Beyond the mainstream of the industry CPU 25%.

Besides , In order to maximize the performance of these five chips , Huawei provides the industry with a unique CoreFarm Intelligent scheduling algorithm , It can make users feel single engine 160 Million high-performance experience ; The first in the industry is “ core ” Smart hard disk frame , Kun Peng 920 Intelligent hard disk frame equipped with chip , To undertake CPU Calculate the force , system performance 30% promote .

These significant improvements in storage performance demonstrate Huawei's ability to redefine the storage architecture , But more importantly , It can make Huawei's vision of helping customers realize value innovation come true .

before , In the automotive industry , BYD has shown the value that this substantial performance improvement can bring . stay ERP The system switches to Huawei OceanStor Dorado After full flash , coordination ERP Query condition design and upper platform , Byd's BW Data warehouse reduces the time of extracting data 66%,MM、PP、SD、FICO The report output speed of each module has been increased by more than twice , The material voucher query time is changed from the previous 14 Minutes reduced to 4 minute , The efficiency of the whole system has been improved 5 times .

Performance improvement and high reliability are the core requirements of users for storage devices . Only to ensure that the business is always online , Redefined storage is capable of facing the future digital economy .

“8 Storage controllers even in 7 After a failure , Business will not be disrupted .” Zhou Yuefeng said . And on this issue of reliability , The industry average is 1 individual ～2 Controller failure redundancy .“ Even if the controller frame fails , When multiple servers fail at the same time , Business can also hold live ！”

Make it possible , yes OceanStor Dorado V6 Adopted by the Smartmatrix framework . The architecture adopts a fully interconnected shared architecture with multiple front and rear ends ：

Front end by FC-AA Ensure high reliability without customer perception under fault scenarios , The back end goes through 100GE RoCE Achieve high end 8 Control pair IP Hard disk shelf sharing , Reach the controller 8 bad 7 High reliability of hard disk still available in case of .

At the same time, due to the adoption of full interconnection in the hardware architecture CPU And Cache framework , Constructed NVME End to end protocol stack architecture ,SmartMatrix Under the premise of high reliability, it can also obtain extremely high performance .

however ,OceanStor Dorado V6 Of “ Always online ” More than that . When the user needs to upgrade the storage system , The best level in the industry is 2 Hours to complete the upgrade process , The time of business damage shall be controlled within 10 Within seconds .

This is a database that can “ perception ” The window period to , The impact on the business is self-evident . Although this is not a normal job , But for users who pursue the ultimate , Not ideal .

Huawei's efforts this time illustrate its recognition of customer value .OceanStor Dorado The online upgrade process has been limited to 30 Within minutes , The damaged window is controlled in 1 Within seconds . For users , This 1 Second , It means to the business “0” influence .

In addition to achievements in performance and business sustainability , Huawei OceanStor Dorado V6 Full flash storage is also based on AI Chips and AI The algorithm realizes the intelligent operation and maintenance of the whole life cycle , Innovative “ Yongxin business model ” It enables enterprise users to avoid business cutover and interruption caused by data migration .
