Functional Characteristics 

-Advanced system architecture design

-AS8000 adopts a fully redundant architecture, fully modular design, no single point failure, to protect business system continuation;

- Standard with 2* DSE (Data System Engine) (active-active), can be extended to 32, with the nodes increases, the system performance linear increase;

- Rich interfaces to meet different business needs, and fully guarantee the hardware flexibility, reliability and scalability;

- Real-time monitoring equipment running, all-round fault diagnosis system, clear the hardware alarm measures, greatly reducing management complexity

-Storage virtualization

- On both homogeneous and heterogeneous IT environment, maximize asset utilization;

 - Through snapshots, high availability and remote disaster recovery, continuous data protection technology, providing comprehensive, multi-level Data Protection;

- Achieving performance, connectivity and productivity improvements, which can under the existing conditions, resources and personnel to support more users.

-Thin disk configuration 

- No longer subject to the allocation of storage resources under physical storage space constraints, achieve 100% of the on-demand distribution;

- When the physical storage resources are scarce, available online real time expansion; lower initial cost of IT investment, substantially increase the efficiency of resource;

-Disaster recovery mirror Protection

- Support IP and FC-based synchronous and asynchronous data mirroring, establish a local or remote data disaster recovery capability in heterogeneous storage;

- Support multi-site data synchronization or asynchronous transfer, establish a large-scale overall data disaster system.

-Flexible snapshot protection 

Based on virtual system or host to trigger a snapshot; incremental snapshot can be used for backup, testing, data mining applications.

-Continuous data protection 

IO-based continuous data protection, production data can be restored to any time during protection period, completely solve the abuse of limited time point by using continuous snapshot, achieve a real sense of continuous data protection.
