On-The-Fly Cache Synchronization - Consistent & Instant Failover

PCIe NTB

PCIe NTB: PCI Express Non-Transparent Bridge

1. Write to local

memory 2. Write to

remote memory

simultaneously!

Quanta Confidential

With NTB, storage software can ensure data in memory can be

synchronized to each node instantly. This is the most important

design to enable instant node failover while one node failed.


Data Vaulting – Battery Backup (I) - Enable Write Back & Prevent Data Lost While Power Lost

1. One battery per node, can sustain whole MB

node includes local flash device within 120 seconds, allow software to backup dirty data in memory!

Battery

2. More Flexible and easy for software developer to plan read cache and write cache within whole memory range.

Data Vaulting – Battery Backup (II) - Enable Write Back & Prevent Data Lost While Power Lost

Quanta Confidential

3 typical ways in data vaulting:

UPS

Pros: Simple

Cons: Expensive and consume rack density

Battery

Pros: Cost effective, easy and wide range to plan write cache

Cons: Shorter life cycle

NVDIMM

Pros: Fast & backup automatically

Cons: Expensive and restricted write cache area


Enterprise-Class Node Awareness - Dual-Controller Storage Platform

NODE_LOCATE

NODE_PRESENT

NODE_RESET

Node Awareness is supported

by IPMI OEM command,

allow software developer to:

- Prevent SW deadlock

- Master/Slave Selection

- Cache Policy Planning

- Transparent Failover

- Data Replication

- Load Balance

- Active/Passive Algorithm

….. etc
