Oceanspace S5000TSummaryFeaturesSpecifications

Huawei Symantec Oceanspace T series unified storage system (T series) is a new-generation storage product for mid-range and high-end storage applications. It boasts integration of block-level and file-level data storage, support for a variety of storage protocols, and GUI-based central storage management. Delivering leading performance, enhanced efficiency, maximized return on investment, and all-in-one solutions, the T series is ideally applicable to scenarios such as large-database OLTP/OLAP, high-performance computing, digital media, Internet applications, central storage, backup, disaster recovery, and data migration.

Unification

• Storage of block-level data and file-level data: supports SAN and NAS storage protocols, structured and non-structured data within one storage system.
• Support for storage protocols: compatible with various storage networks and protocols, including iSCSI, FC, NFS, CIFS, HTTP, and FTP.
• GUI-based central storage management: provides a graphical user interface for central management of files and data blocks. The wizards guide users through every configuration.

Flexibility and Reliability

• Upgrade: Users can easily upgrade block-level storage to unified storage.
• Hot swapping modules: users can hot-swap controllers, fans, power supplies, I/O modules, and hard disks without compromising ongoing user services.
• Diversified disk types: supports SAS, NL SAS, SATA, FC and SSD disks, fitting into various scenarios.
• Reliable architecture: Full component redundancy prevents single points of failure. Data coffer and file system mirror improve system reliability.
• Advanced I/O port scalability and flexibility: supports up to 12 I/O modules with a maximum of 48 I/O ports. Supported I/O port types include 4 Gb or 8 Gb FC, 1 Gb iSCSI, 10 Gb iSCSI（TOE）,10Gb FCoE and 6 Gb SAS ports.
• Data protection: provides seamless integration with Enterprise Vault and NetBackup to achieve disaster recovery through remote replication.
• Application optimization: HostAgent implements application-level fast backup/recovery and DR verification for mainstream operating systems, such as Oracle, DB2, Exchange Server, and SQL Server.

Economy and Efficiency

• Multi-node clustering: Active-active nodes achieve simultaneousoperating among nodes and provide parallel access to data.
• SmartCache acceleration: automatically detects hotspots in background and caches them to SSDs, dramatically scaling system read performance.
• Automatic thin provisioning: HyperThin supports automatic capacity expansion for improved disk utilization so that customers can buy storage devices on demand, reducing the total cost of ownership (TCO).
• DST: Dynamic storage tiering (DST) implements transparent bidirectional dynamic data migration between various storage media based on file access frequency or a time policy. It maximizes return on investment.
• File-based deduplication: detects duplicate data by Hash fingerprints and exploits the data storage space.
• Proactive remote service: The up-to-date Cloud Service provides functions of system health check, warning, and alarm notification. The robust troubleshooting expert background minimizes adverse impacts on a system and slashes system downtimes.
