Highlights
Excellent Management on Virtual Storage
The VIS6000 can integrate storage devices of different brands and
models into one storage pool, and allows the customer to cost-
effectively use existing storage devices flexibly and add new storage
devices as required. The VIS6000 is also designed to lower the
customer's TCO through centralized deployment.
The VIS6000 offers the following benefits:
■■ Manage storage resources and reduce operation and maintenance
costs with simplified configuration and deployment. Raises the
utilization rate by eliminating unnecessary resource allocation.
■■ Provides multi-tier storage across different platforms and
application configurations.
■■ Offers flexible capacity expansion and seamless upgrade.
Virtualized Architecture at the Network Layer
The VIS6000 can be deployed in bypass mode to ensure operations
will not be affected by changes in storage devices. Unique features
such as inter-array mirroring guarantees data continuity, while inter-
array snapshots ensure data consistency. These options can help
avoid and reduce unexpected shutdown.
The VIS6000 offers the following benefits:
■■ Compatibility with the existing devices and zero effect on the
existing SAN network during deployment.
■■ Reduce consumption with value-added functions at the network
layer that are independent of the host and array structures.
■■ Flexible deployment and capacity expansion of IP SANs and FC SANs.
Multi-Level Data Protection
The VIS6000 supports local protection and remote disaster recovery
with storage virtualization, while ensuring data integrity and business
continuity at the operation level. It also incorporates diversified data
protection to meet users requirements for multi-level data protection.
■■ Ensure business continuity with heterogeneous array mirroring
that supports disaster recovery at the array level.
■■ Diversified snapshot implementations that support data backup,
sampling and analysis, and soft error recovery.
■■ Multiple user-definable remote disaster recovery policies:
synchronous, asynchronous, and periodic replication; implementing
unified deployment; management of multi-service disaster recovery
applications at different levels.
■■ Flexible interfaces that allow customized automatic deployment,
unified management, and application-level disaster recovery for
the entire network.
■■ Remote disaster recovery: maintains data integrity with the
snapshot agent feature to ensure consistency of snapshot data
and data in databases.
Advanced System Architecture
The VIS6000 uses a clustered architecture with a fully redundant and
modular design, and provides an advanced real-time monitoring
and alarm solution. Its diversified interfaces meet different service
requirements without sacrificing the flexibility, reliability, and
scalability of the hardware.
■■ A maximum of eight nodes can work in active-active mode to
provide powerful I/O response capabilities.
■■ Up to 12 host ports in a single node to provide strong application
access capabilities.
■■ Modular design employed to configure the hardware and software
as required.
■■ Full redundancy, multipath load balancing, and failover ensure
zero-interruption to systems applications.
