SOLUTION BRIEF RAIDIX ExaSphere Optimized on EchoStreams Storage Server SUMMARY Higher definition video drives the need for high-capacity and high-performance storage. Scale-out storage is becoming the solution of choice for video content creation and postproduction professionals who demand for more cost-effective way to sustain their continuous growth on storage capacity and performance needs. RAIDIX ExaSphere, bundled with Echostreams ScaleStreams storage server delivers a robust scale-out storage solution that is tailored to meet the exact demands of these professionals. The joint solution addresses Media and Entertainment industry’s demands for concurrent data access, seamless scalability, steady high performance and greater reliability. Every production task can be processed on the same platform — as shared SAN and Scale-out NAS are combined in a single solution. CONFIGURATION RAIDIX ExaSphere RAID 1 RAID 2 RAID 3 RAID 4 12 disks 12 disks 12 disks 12 disks LUN 1 LUN 2 LUN 3 FC 3–4 1–2 LUN 3–4 1–2 LUN LUN 4 16 Gbit LUN When running RAIDIX software on a chosen architecture, no extra modules, hardware or installation of additional applications is required — everything is implemented on a software level in a single box. LUN Echostreams eDrawer 4048S 4U server with 48x tool-less top-load 12G SAS hot-swap HDD bays, supports two 12G SAS HBAs and two 12G SAS expanders for optimized storage bandwidth of 128 Gbps (2x PCIe Gen3 X8 links). It is also capable of supporting up to five network adapter cards such as 16 GFC, InfiniBand and 40 GbE. All together, this chosen platform provides fairly good density and more importantly impressive performance. RAIDIX storage OS is configured to present 4 RAID6 groups of 12 HDDs each, one LUN for each RAID, masking rules assign each LUN to one FC port. RAIDIX OS enables storage to provide an outstanding speed of 6 GB/s over four FC ports to handle up to 4 simultaneous 4K uncompressed video streams. THE KEY FEATURES OF RAIDIX SOFTWARE ARE: Client 1 HIGH AND SUSTAINABLE PERFORMANCE Client 2 COMMON NAME SPACE SHARED STORAGE AND NAS-GATEWAY ALL IN ONE BOX SUPPORTING DIFFERENT IO INTERFACES SUCH AS INFINIBAND, 8G/16GFC, 10GB/40GB/100GB ETHERNET BOOSTS PRODUCTIVITY AND SCALABILITY — — — — — — Echostreams eDrawer 4048S 4U Storage Server ATTO Celerity 16 Gb FC-164E ATTO 16 Gb Celerity FC-162E ATTO FiberConnect FC switch Ethernet switch RAIDIX ExaSphere SOLUTION BRIEF TOP BENEFITS THE TECHNOLOGY SUPPORTS DYNAMIC CLUSTER CONFIGURATION: SAME DATA CAN BE ACCESSED VIA SHARED SAN OR SCALE-OUT NAS STORAGE PROTOCOLS GRANTS UNIVERSAL SCALABILITY AND LIMITLESS EXPANSION WHILE BEING MANAGED AS A SINGLE STORAGE RESOURCE. MAXIMUM FILE SYSTEM SIZE — MINIMUM 18 TB; MAXIMUM CLUSTER SIZE — 9 MLN TB. REDUCES THE COMPLEXITY OF STORAGE INFRASTRUCTURE: SOFTWARE IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE MOST UP-TO-DATE APPLICATIONS FAULT-TOLERANT IN BOTH DISK AND NODE LEVELS AVAILABILITY RATE EXCEEDS 99,999 TOP FEATURES OF RAIDIX EXASPHERE SOFTWARE Advanced Reconstruction QoSmic It is implemented as performance optimization capability due to balancing of inquiries to hard disk drives and use of Parity. It enables sustainable high-performance with presence of several slow drives in the array. Quality of service feature guarantees performance-level for crucial applications, regardless of the load on the node from other applications. Cache size and bandwidth can be set for privileged and non-privileged users and/or applications. Silent Data Corruption RAIDIX implemented forward error-correction algorithm analyzes RAID metadata in background mode to detect and fix silent data corruption without performance degradation. When RAIDIX operates in Silent Data Corruption Protection mode, it identifies and recovers data at disk blocks level. The mechanism works with any operating and file systems. 64-bit scalability that supports file sizes up to 9 million terabytes, filesystems to 18 million terabytes Instant data sharing without network mounts or data copies among all major operating systems High availability with automatic failure detection and recovery Highly optimized distributed buffering techniques that provide the industry's fastest performance ABOUT RAIDIX ABOUT ECHOSTREAM RAIDIX is a high performance storage development company.
