What is EonStor DS?

Software

SANWatch management suite

Included snapshot and volume copy/mirror functions

Optional thin provisioning and remote replication (via FC or iSCSI) functions

5

Local replication - snapshotsRead-only virtual point-in-time (PIT) data

copies, recording data state at a given moment

Uses Map to host so that the files accidentally

deleted can be restoredRollback source volume attacked by viruses

or hackers to its previous healthy state Benefits Space-efficiency Backup window as short as 10 minutes Granular recovery points

Flush agent available on MS SQL and Exchange

Local replication – Volume copy/mirror• Volume Copy

Immediately usable (Read/Write) point-in-time (PIT) full data copies within a single system

Uses - Support secondary

applications such as analysis, testing and backup

Benefits - Minimize performance

degradation and data corruption risk of production volume

Local replication – Volume copy/mirror• Volume Mirror

Sync or async full data copies within a single system

Uses

- Restart services within minutes after source volume fatal failure

Benefits - Highest data availability

users can achieve in single-system configuration

Remote replication • Sync or async full data copies across

systems Via FC or iSCSI host ports Support remote snapshot

- Used with async mode, take snapshot whenever synchronization session ends

• Uses Restart services in minutes after

Thin ProvisioningCapacity is dynamically allocated when

data blocks are written Cost benefits Delay equipment acquisitionOptimize capacity utilization: 30-

40% 80-90% Reduce power, space and cooling

expensesManagement benefitsExpand volume without downtimeSimplify capacity planning Eliminate individual volume

High availibilityHardware

Redundant, hot-swappable controllers, power supplies and fans

CacheSafe technology (BBU + flash)During accidental power outage, cache data will be written to the flash module for permanent protection

RAID 6 protection Less than 10% performance degradation than RAID5
