Excellent Performance for All Storage Applications
The EonStor GS series has both high IOPS and high throughput and can support high-speed transmission interfaces and protocols, such as 32Gb/s FC and 40Gb/s iSCSI. The U.2 NVMe storage can support up to 1000K IOPS and 20,000/7,900 MB/s throughput to handle various enterprise-critical applications.
Introducing Scale-out: Fully Leverage Performance and Capacity of Multiple GS
Best for Expanding Storages for Enterprises! EonStor GS now supports scale-out feature, you can easily expand performance and capacity to more than 40PB of storage space.
In the scale-out architecture, GS can linearly increase performance and capacity for both block-level and file-level. When one GS is not able to provide enough performance or capacity, you can simply add another GS appliance to the cluster – with a maximum of 4 GS units.
In the scale-up architecture, each GS supports expansion enclosures to add up to 896 hard drives for expanding storage capacity.
Powerful but Easy-to-Use
Single Namespace for user convenience: The GS scale-out function integrates multiple GSs into a single file system, so that all GS folders and files are located in a single root directory, which makes users’ file access convenient and simple. For example, data originally scattered in various paths (such as \\server01, \\server02, \\server03) can be stored in the same path (e.g., all data stored in \\server01), so users don’t need to worry about where the data is placed.
Auto-Balancing to reduce the burden of IT storage management: The Auto-Balancing function is an intelligent assistant for data migration. It automatically detects and suggests location for data migration based on IT-defined folder attributes and migration policies (e.g., certain data has to be stored in SSD), eliminating the burden of IT manual planning and data migration.
Hybrid Storage: Make Best Use of Your Storage
Enterprises can leverage tier configuration to mix the high-performance dual-controller GS and the cost-effective single-controller GSe to form a cluster. For example, GS can be used for online high-performance data access, while GSe with high-density 60-bay JBOD — for large-capacity offline backup.
EonStor GS can also be configured with a hybrid storage architecture according to application requirements, and through automatic storage tiering and SSD caching, it can help you create a high-performance, large-capacity storage system at a lower cost.
Automatic storage tiering (Auto-tiering) function, which can combine U.2 NVMe SSD with NL-SAS/SATA HDD expansion enclosure, leverages advantages of high performance of SSD and large capacity of HDD, offering a more cost-effective solution.
SSD cache allows you to configure a small part of SSD space in the GS as a cache for accelerating read performance in the SAN storage architecture. It can also accelerate read/write performance and file operations in the NAS storage architecture to provide a better user experience.
Intelligent Management for SSD Optimization
EonStor GS is equipped with intelligent drive management technology, which can significantly reduce the burden of IT management.
- The new RAID mode prevents data loss caused by simultaneous damage of multiple SSD: If SSD reaches the write limit at the same time and, thus, fails at the same time, enterprises irrevocably lose their valuable data. To avoid this, Infortrend provides a new RAID mode that ensures that SSDs have different write times and won’t fail simultaneously.
- Optimized technology to extend SSD service life: Due to the limited available number of SSD writes, the system provides intelligent algorithms to optimize the operating characteristics of the SSD, such as reducing repeated data writes, so that the storage space of the SSD can be used optimally and the SSD lifespan can be extended.
- Intelligent monitoring for simplified SSD management: Real-time monitoring of SSD usage and predicting the remaining lifetime. When the estimated remaining time of the SSD usage is less than few months (6/3/2/1), the system sends a notification so that users could have enough time to replace the SSD that is about to fail.
Complete Data Protection: Reduce the Risk of Data Loss
Data loss is a disaster for every enterprise. EonStor GS provides various data protection solutions for enterprise data. The HDD is protected by RAID function to ensure that the data is still intact when the hard disk is damaged; in the backup aspect, it supports snapshot and volume copy for local and remote backup solutions. To offer enterprises a top backup option, GS now supports Folder Snapshot, which provides high backup efficiency with minimum capacity requirement.
Local and remote backup solutionsCloud Integrated Solution
The integration of enterprise data and cloud is one of the future trends, and EonStor GS can help you move files or block-level data to public or private clouds according to your needs. In addition to low-cost access to data that is not frequently used, it can also be used Back up data in the cloud space to establish a remote backup structure to create a highly available data center.
Multiple Form Factors to Choose From
Infortrend provides multiple specifications for storage systems and expansion enclosures such as 2U 12-bay, 2U 24-bay, 2U 25-bay, 3U 16-bay, 4U 24-bay, 4U 60-bay, etc. even in the same series, so that enterprises can choose what’s perfect for them according to their current or future needs.
Rich Host Interface in GS Family
As there is a wide range of enterprise applications, the required communication interface for each application may differ. Infortrend provides rich communication interfaces in SAN environments, including 8Gb/s FC, 16Gb/s FC, 32Gb/s FC, 1Gb/s iSCSI, 10Gb/s iSCSI, 40Gb/s iSCSI and 12Gb/s SAS to allow complete compatibility with all applications. Furthermore, 1GbE, 10GbE, 25GbE and 40GbE ports are also offered in network environments to provide fast and reliable data sharing and data transfer quality.
