Performance of Infortrend CS distributed NAS Cluster strengths

Embedded storage system, integrated cluster, more advantages in performance

The use of self-developed embedded architecture, minimalist IO processing instructions, so that the hardware to maximize performance. Product software and hardware integrated design, the advantages of software and hardware to play to the best state, a single system can provide up to 100 + GBps read and write performance. The integrated design also effectively avoids the problems such as disunity of management and complex installation, and reduces the later maintenance work.

Three kinds of distributed mode coexist, and the performance is highlighted in Infortrend special mode.

In addition to erasure code and replica mode, Infortrend CS products are also equipped with a dedicated distributed mode developed by ourselves, which can not only increase space utilization to 90%, but also greatly improve performance. Under the condition of using HDD hard disk through the test:

 Scale-out mode single node performance Read 3GB/S, Write 2.4GB/S, single line layer write 967MB/S

 erasure code mode single node performance Read 2.3GB/S, Write 1.36GB/S, single line layer write 846MB/S

Automatic average distribution of data and linear growth of performance capacity

Automatic data equalization allows data to be evenly distributed among the nodes in the system. When a large number of users access data at the same time, the system will share the data processing capacity of each node through parallel processing, solve the problem of limited performance of a single node, and effectively improve the access efficiency. CS extends NAS horizontally, vertically and bidirectionally, expanding up to 144nodes horizontally, adding up to 120 hard disk storage space vertically, and the performance will increase linearly with the increase of nodes.

HDD is damaged and replaced, and its performance remains stable.

The underlying self-developed RAID system improves system performance and security, and overcomes the impact of physical hard disk damage on the overall performance of the system.
