Data protection
The StorONE storage engine includes a suite of features that ensure rock-solid data protection. It provides the highest level of data integrity, protection, and recovery from hardware failures.

Details |
High Availability (HA) |
- Highly availability dual-node storage cluster.
- If one server node is down, all data can be accessed through the other server node.
- Active/Active: Provides better performance by balancing the work load between the two servers.
- Supports all common storage network protocols.
|
DirectWrite |
- The StorONE system writes directly to drives without an intermediate cache, such as NVDIM, MRAM, or NVRAM.
- Superior data integrity: All writes go immediately to persistent media.
- Lowers overall storage server cost. You can mix types of storage media and use white-box or virtual servers.
- Simplified HA design.
|
vRAID |
- StorONE vRAID technology is a complete rewrite of the erasure coding algorithm, providing all the benefits of erasure coding while minimizing performance impact.
- The number of redundant drives per volume can vary from 1 to 16.
- Fastest drive recovery in the industry, in some cases recovering 20TB drives in less than 3 hours.
|
Snapshots |
- Snapshots can be taken an unlimited number of times, as long as there is enough storage space available. Snapshots can be easily restored.
- All snapshots are immutable.
- Snapshots can restored to new volumes without impacting the original volume or snapshot.
- vSnap technology automatically moves old snapshots to lower tiers, saving storage resources while minimizing performance impact.
|
Security |
- Virtual Storage Container (VSC) level encryption.
- Supports drive encryption, such as self-encrypted drive (SED).
- Admin interface supports two-factor authentication.
- Snapshots are immutable and cannot be tampered with.
|
Replication |
- Each VSC can have its own data replication configuration.
- Each VSC can be replicated to a different destination.
- Supported replication strategies: synchronous, asynchronous, and semi-synchronous.
