Features

Distributed SAN storage that supports multiple virtualization, database, and container platforms

Multi-database, multi-container platform support
Traditional distributed storage solves the problem of capacity limitation and horizontal expansion of dedicated storage devices under large-capacity and cold data storage. However, in terms of the adaptability of application scenarios, the complexity of management and operation, and the overall cost of ownership of end users, it cannot smoothly replace traditional SAN storage devices. Users need products with both software-defined innovation and enterprise-level block storage features, and at the same time meet the needs of enterprise-level facility solutions such as VMware, Citrix, Oracle, and Microsoft, including the new K8s architecture.

Multi-protocol, multi-virtualization support
XEBS (XSKY Enterprise Block Storage) is a professional distributed block storage product provided by XSKY. On the "decentralized" distributed architecture, it supports traditional SAN interfaces such as FC and iSCSI with multi-active paths, and fully authenticated docking with applications under AIX, Linux, Windows, or enterprise-level virtualization technologies such as VMware and Citrix.
