The Best Fit
When Everything Connecting to Cloud…

Data Centers need to increase cloud storage capacity dramatically !!!
The Storage Journey
What Does This Mean? There is a huge and ever increasing
demand for storage in cloud, data centers and enterprises
Data needs are growing at a rate unsustainable with today’s infrastructure
Scale out storage is the only way to keep surviving
Traditional Storage NAS/SAN
Proprietary Hardware (Vendor Locking)
Scale-Up Architecture Hardware based Intelligence More rack space High power consumption Huge Initial & Operational
Cost
Software Defined Storage
Low Cost Scale-out
architecture Software-based
intelligence More flexible, well
integrated technology
Why SDS ? Scale-out architecture provides durability and adapts to
increasing demands
Self-managing and selfhealing features reduce operational overhead
Standards-based interfaces and full APIs ease integration with applications and systems
Highly tunable, extensible, and configurable, with policy-based control and no single point of failure
Virtually unlimited storage

SDS in Traditional Server
One Server board for many Object Storage Device
What is The Problem? CPU Utility is low High power consumption High Power cost used on cooling Failure of server caused lost of all storages Resource are shared and limited
Powering SDS with ARM based Microserver Cluster
Low power ARM based microserver cluster
One server with only one storage device
Server cluster linked by 2.5Gbps LAN
No single point of failure Dedicated CPU, memory and I/O

Mars 200 ARM based Microserver
8x 1.6GHz Dual Core microserver - 2G Bytes DRAM - 8G Bytes Flash - Dual 2.5 Gbps LAN - < 5 Watts
Storage - 8x SATA3 HDD - 8x SATA3 SSD
300 Watts Redundant power supply
< 60Watts
OOB BMC port
Dual uplink switches - 2x 10 Gbps - SFP+ or 10G Base-T
ARM based Microserver Born for SDS
Supports CEPH & GlusterFS Scale-Out storage technologies Dedicate resource on CPU, DRAM, Network and Storage
bandwidth for every single storage device to provide stable performance
Aggregates network bandwidth to eliminate the bottleneck in a very low cost way
One microserver connects to only one storage device reduces the lost of single server node
Reduce cooling cost of your server room as it generates much less heat
Benefit low power and low hardware cost of the hardware
What We Offer? VM Storage with OpenStack
Cinder, Glance & Nova Object storage for tenant apps Provides reliable and fully
distributed block storage Bucket based REST gateway
compatible with Swift & AWS S3 object storage APIs
Offers mature NFS, SMB, HDFS & iSCSI interfaces for enterprise use
Other Potential Applications Web Service Content Delivery NoSQL Database Big Data
