Huawei announced the release of its latest Converged Flash Array, OceanStor V5 that is based on company’s lightning-fast rock-solid flash architecture and with built-in cloud and intelligence capabilities, the new offerings will bring customers to a new age of data storage.
The new OceanStor V5 series provides a comprehensive data management solution and is designed specifically for mission-critical applications, ensuring high service availability and performance and allowing customers to further unleash the potential of flash.
Purpose built for flash, Huawei’s Converged Flash Array incorporate flash-oriented designs at the data plane, management plane, and O&M plane to deliver up to 6 million IOPS (number of read and write operations per second) and consistent latency of only 1 ms, fully satisfying for today and future service development needs. The SmartMatrix 2.0 enhanced intelligent switching matrix adopts an industry-leading 4-controller full-redundancy architecture with only one engine.
In terms of heat dissipation, the company claims to lead the way by applying the graphene dissipation technology (GDT) in SSDs, also named Flash-Ice improving the heat dissipation capability. Huawei’s proprietary gateway-free active-active solution HyperMetro ensures 24/7 uninterrupted service availability with latency of less than 1 ms.
Huawei’s Storage as a Service (STaaS) solution makes the Converged Flash Array cloud-ready. STaaS helps data centers integrate storage resources, implement on-demand supply, improve resource utilization, significantly simplifying the usage of storage and improving data center operation efficiency.
