Features

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

Multi-database, multi-container platform support
Traditional distributed storage solves the problems of capacity limitation and horizontal expansion of dedicated storage devices under large-capacity, cold data storage. However, in terms of the breadth of application scenarios, the complexity of management and operation, and the overall cost of ownership for end users, it cannot smoothly replace traditional SAN storage devices. Users need products that are both software-defined innovation and enterprise-level block storage features, while meeting the needs of enterprise-level facilities 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. It supports traditional SAN interfaces such as FC and iSCSI with multiple active paths on a "decentralized" distributed architecture, and is fully certified and compatible with applications running on AIX, Linux, and Windows, as well as enterprise-class virtualization technologies such as VMware and Citrix.
Supported by open source cloud platforms such as OpenStack
XEBS connects to open source cloud platforms through the RBD protocol, and the interface is 100% compatible with open source software. It can manage volume data of open source platforms such as Ceph through the RBD interface and migrate seamlessly. XEBS uses patented technology LibRBD aggregation agent, which improves single client performance by 20% and reduces CPU utilization of each node by 40%.

Product Advantages

Professional enterprise-level distributed storage

Professional application interface and enhanced reliability
  • Supports a full range of IP-based iSCSI interface command words, and supports the FC Fiber Channel interface, which is the most widely used in professional storage devices
  • Supports NVME over TCP protocol to reduce latency and improve performance
  • The key IO paths and management control modules are redundantly designed to support multi-path MPIO or VIP, realize Active-Active dual-active access, and ensure high system availability and fast switching
  • Supports enterprise-level advanced features such as instant ROW snapshots, clones, asynchronous replication, thin provisioning, online volume expansion and shrinkage, stretched clusters and ALUA, cloud backup, consistency group snapshots and consistency group asynchronous replication, volume migration, etc., adaptable to Various complex scenario requirements and processes for enterprise storage management
  • Volume-level QoS (Quality of Service) settings are implemented. Users can set IOPS threshold limits for storage volumes, as well as limits for performance emergencies, to cope with tidal application scenarios
Performance optimization based on best practices
  • Combined with mainstream NVMe flash technology and optimizing IO paths, a single node can reach tens of thousands of IOPS, and provides a high-performance multi-level Cache storage acceleration engine, including RAM and SSD two-level Cache, of which the RAM Read Cache uses an enhanced patented technology Pre-reading algorithm to improve system reading performance
  • SSD R/W Cache provides intelligent IO algorithms, greatly improving system read and write performance under OLTP business
  • Innovative IO aggregation, which aggregates random small blocks of IO into sequential large blocks of IO, provides stable IO performance under heavy pressure and high concurrency, and perfectly supports EC
Multiple virtualization support
  • Designed around virtualization, supporting multiple hypervisors such as VMware, Xen, KVM and Hyper-V
  • Fully embracing the VMware ecosystem and passing VAAI certification, it is the first SDS data platform manufacturer in China to obtain VMware Ready qualifications
  • Provide hot volume cache locking to solve VDI boot storm and pass Citrix certification
  • XSKY best practices based on container scenarios provide officially certified CSI-iSCSI drivers. Provides advanced storage features including snapshots, clones and replication, greatly reducing deployment costs
Enhanced ease of use and manageability
  • Rich visual management functions and comprehensive management processes help users achieve rapid resource creation, device installation and deployment, and capacity expansion, allowing users to easily control the complexity of distributed storage hardware
  • The hierarchical design of fault protection domains and storage pools allows users to easily cope with resource planning and key application partitioning
  • Hard disk and network sub-health processing, automatically identify bad disks, slow disks and network faults, and automatically isolate them
  • Rich RESTful API, command line, SSD life, disk SMART monitoring, operation logs, system logs, and multi-level alarm functions help users quickly locate and resolve various emergencies in the storage cluster system
