Storage Integrated Solutions

The data of data center is in different positions and has their own storage subsystems, which easily causes information isolated island.

The utilization rate of storage resource is very low, increasing the total cost of ownership of business storage.

And it cannot efficiently carry out backup for the scattered data in a centralized way, and data is in a dangerous way all the time.

Technology type

The technology type of storage integration mainly includes storage architecture, storage extension and storage refining.

The storage architecture takes the SAN+NAS as the main, and SAN and NAS provde storage service at the level of block data and documents respectively, suitable to different market demands.

Advantages of SAN and NAS:

l  Unified management, backup and recovery;

l  Reduce the total cost of ownership and system complexity;

l  Further integration of data, providing higher utiliza;ion rate of storage resource.

l  Manage SAN and NAS as an unified environment;

l  Greatly reduce the quantity of document servers;

l  Information storage information, high performance, high reliability and high compatibility;

l  Storage as per levels and classification, meet the demand of various data access mode of user.

Application scenarios

Application scenarios of storage integration normally adopt swim storage architecture and Scale out extension method.

The unified storage architecture of SAN+NAS can support the storage and access of documents, data and objects, realizing a high utilization rate of storage resource, enhancing the timely sharing, high efficient management and conciseness of capacity expansion.

Unified storage can meet the demand of storage capacity expansion due to fast growing of share documents, causing a linear scalability of capacity and performance. 

New library construction in a university, unified storage helps a lot

Client background

The university is a famouse university with a long history. Its new library was completed, and the university carries out informationization construction focusing on digital library. The library will provide various business interface, and require many kinds of Protocol interfaces for the storage.

Scheme design

One EMCVNX7500 is installed, with SAS magnetic discs and NL-SAS magnetic discs, and various application business are deployed on SAS and NL-SAS magnetic discs to realize hierarchical storage. The EMC Avamar backup system is installed to implement backup of important data via deletion technology of repeatable data.

User benefits

l  Unified management, backup and recovery.

l  The capacity of backup space reduces 90%.

l  Storage as per levels and classification, meet the demand of various data access mode of user.

A disaster tolerant system construction of one provincial hospital based on unified storage

Client background

The information capacity of the hospital has a explosive growth. Upgrade and capacity expansion of existing storage capacity is required to adapt to the demand of data storage and performance bottleneck that may happen in the five coming years. Besides, it puts forward higher requirements for the safety of business data, and disaster tolerant system is needed.

Scheme design

The HIS in the local data center is double machines hot-standby cluster, and production storage adopts hierarchical storage architecture combining solid-state disc and FC disc, and on remote data backup center should be established to real-time optical data transmission when remote. Guarantee the continuity of HIS business.

The PACS system adopts the unified storage, and FC-SAN connection method is used in the PACS database, and NAS storage is used for image documents to meet various service levels in the business system.

User benefits

l  The unified storage with a high-performance realizes the integration of application systems.

l  The snapshot technology is used to remain the copies of multiple times for enquirying.

l  Real-time replica technology provides a guarantee for the integrity of data and availability of system when disasters happen.

l  The high availability of information system is ensured by the mature technology via the market certification to increase the return on investment. 

Virtual architecture's unified platform optimizing the data center of some provincial survey service

Client background

The provincial survey service has survey business system, office system and sharing service of image documents Varied businesses have scattered data, and the service efficiency of server is low.

Scheme design

In the scheme a hierarchical storage system is used to centrally store the scattered business data. Realize information sharing; The centralized server virtualization integration is carried out for varied small load business application systems.

User benefits

Simplify management and enhance the continuity of businesses.

Reduce the total cost of ownership and system complexity.

Improve the utilization rate of server resources.

The backup window of users is reduced by virtual tape library.
