Based on the Unified Systems Architecture, the Oceanspace S5800T is designed for virtualized environments and cloud applications. In the new cloud-centric data center, performance, data protection, data security, systems access, and storage mobility are delivered as a unified set of services. Huawei Symantec’s S5800T enterprise storage system is built with a modular set of technology blocks that enable IT professionals to run the most demanding Oracle, SAP, Cloud and mission-critical applications to maximize revenues and lower operational costs. The S5800T provides more than big performance and capacity numbers. It provides secure storage services that support more users per rack, drives more revenues per data center tile, and lowers the transactional cost to make your businesses more competitive.
Enterprise-Class Performance
• Unified I/O Engine - The T-Series Unified I/O engine is built around 2 x quad-core Xeon clustered, 64-bit, multi-core processor modules that provide the IOP power, cloud data bandwidth, and high performance data caches required for the most demanding applications.
• Flexibility I/O Modules - The S5800T supports up to 12 I/O modules with 48 I/O bi-directional ports that enable Huawei Symantec storage systems to adjust I/O between front-end host connectivity and back-end storage modules, maximizing ROI, performance, and SLAs.
• SSD I/O Performance - Every application has a specific set of requirements and SLAs that must be met and the T-Series provides SSD caching to tune solutions for maximum IOPs and support for high concurrency of user requests, data base indexing, and maximum bandwidth delivery.
• SmartCache I/O Optimization - SmartCache supports up to 96Gb of cache to dynamic monitoring technology to control hotspots in HDD storage and automatically migrates and caches it to SSD, to optimize application performance and better meet SLAs.
Storage for Consolidation, Virtualization and Cloud Apps
• Virtual I/O Consolidation - The Unified Systems Architecture technology can significantly increase the density of I/O modules and ports in a single enclosure, and provide a flexible number of proportioning and slots for layout of front-end and back-end I/O modules.
• Maximize VM Density - The T-Series is designed to increase the number of VMs per storage system with its multi-dimensional tiered I/O architecture. SmartCache enables higher VM density per array by dynamically migrating I/O for the most accessed and mobile VMs.
• Multi-Fabric Host Connectivity for VM Mobility - One of the keys to VM mobility is access to shared and common I/O to provide the same levels of performance, data protection and security. This requires a storage system that can support multiple host and fabric connectivity for SAN with 8Gb FC and 1/10Gb iSCSI.
Modular Efficiency and High Availability
• Unified IO Modules - One of the fundamental tenets of the Unified Systems Architecture is the use of common, hot-swap modules for disk expansion, power supplies, cooling fans, battery backup, and other key components that reduce TCO, increase availability and improve serviceability.
• High Density Expansion Modules 24 Disk Slots -The T-Series leverages high-density disk enclosures (24 disks per enclosure) in a 2U footprint to reduce expansion cost by 60% compared to low-density enclosures.
• Flexible Tiered Storage Strategy - Huawei Symantec knows that one size does not fit all in the storage world. The S5800T enables IT managers to choose from a wide variety of I/O devices to meet any performance and cost or capacity need, with support for NL-SAS, SAS, SATA and SSD devices.
• Advanced Data Protection - The T-Series is equipped with RAID 6, Precopy and automated disk sector repair technology to prevent data loss before a drives fails.
• 2.3 PB of Cloud Scale Capacity - The S5800T supports up to 1152 of NL-SAS, SAS, SATA or SSD devices for up to 2.3 PB of storage. This type of capacity is required to support the most demanding applications and cloud deployments.
Green Eco-I/O
• Increased Storage Density - The ability of the Unified Systems Architecture to support high-density disk expansion reduces data center cooling, rack space and power consumption by up to 50%.
• Efficient I/O with Drive Spin-Down - The T-Series supports the ability to spin down disk devices, based on RAID group workload, which can reduce power costs by 40%.
• Intelligent 16-Step Power and Cooling - One of the management features of the Unified Systems Architecture is the ability to power manage many of the individual components to reduce overall cost. This includes our 16-Step fans and cooling modules which enable IT managers to reduce power cooling and noise levels in the data center.
• Intelligent CPU Speed Adjusting - The T-Series systems can adjust the CPU clock-speed and CPU cores used to reduce power costs and right-size the I/O for the level of workload.
Symantec Storage & Management Software
