Product Overview
ZStack ZStone is a distributed storage software designed for modern infrastructure. You can deploy it on any server to create a reliable storage system that meets application performance and interface requirements. ZStack ZStone offers comprehensive resource management features, including managing servers, hard disks, data disks, block storage volumes, storage pools, and buckets. With these features, you can create storage pools with different data redundancy types and buckets with specified storage policies and access permissions, enabling you to quickly and cost-effectively build a simple, stable, secure, and efficient storage infrastructure.
- Elastic Scalability:
You can effortlessly scale storage resources horizontally. Business growth often leads to inevitable data expansion. Traditional centralized storage systems struggle with massive data growth, whereas distributed storage systems can increase the capacity and processing power of the entire storage cluster simply by adding nodes. This elastic scaling capability enables ZStack ZStone to adapt to business demands of any scale.
- High Availability:
The platform supports multiple data redundancy policies, including replication and Erasure Coding (EC). The replication policy allows you to adjust replicas of a storage pool online to distribute data across multiple nodes. This ensures data remains accessible from other nodes even if one or several nodes fail, safeguarding storage cluster availability. Combined with flexible fault domain policies, ZStack ZStone
maintains uninterrupted storage service even during unforeseen events like hardware failures or network outages.
- Performance Optimization:
Proprietary cache acceleration technology optimizes data processing performance. Enterprise-grade NVMe SSDs and SATA SSDs accelerate read and write operations for slower backend HDD devices, effectively reducing latency and boosting the storage cluster’s I/O performance. Additionally, ZStack ZStone uses load balancing to distribute storage I/O workloads evenly across nodes, ensuring optimal utilization of system resources.
- Easy Management:
A user-friendly management interface and standard RESTful API interfaces help administrators easily perform basic lifecycle management and maintenance of physical resources, as well as data O&M and recovery tasks.
- Cost-Effectiveness:
Support for deployment on commodity hardware significantly reduces hardware costs. Furthermore, its elastic scaling capability allows you to dynamically adjust storage resources based on business needs, avoiding resource wastage and further lowering operational expenses.
In summary, ZStack ZStone delivers an efficient, scalable, reliable, and cost-effective data storage and processing solution for enterprises. Whether for big data processing, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, or other emerging technologies, ZStack ZStone distributed storage software is an ideal choice.
