\t\t\t\tWe are delighted to let you know that the new Open-E JovianDSS Up30 version<\/strong><\/a> is released and ready to use! The latest update brings a lot of advanced features and improvements that will enhance your data storage performance, reliability, safety, as well as cost efficiency<\/strong>. In this blog article, we will highlight some of the most exciting novelties you can expect from the Open-E JovianDSS Up30 version.<\/p>\n

Open-E JovianDSS Up30 Most Important Highlights<\/h2>\n

One of the most notable new features is the introduction of ZFS Special Devices<\/strong>, which allow you to store specific types of data on high-performance data storage devices. Open-E JovianDSS users will also be thrilled to hear that they can now utilize the NVMe partitions<\/strong>, which enable them to divide the NVMe disk space and use one device for different purposes, saving money, and making data storage management easier and even more user-friendly.<\/p>\n

ZFS Special Devices Introduced in Open-E JovianDSS Up30<\/h3>\n

With ZFS Special Devices, the file system will store specific types of data, such as metadata or small file blocks, on dedicated high-performance data storage devices like SSDs or NVMes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This unique approach can be described as “data-type tiering”<\/strong>. While this functionality might seem akin to traditional data tiering, there’s a distinct difference. Traditional data tiering categorizes data based on its “temperature” \u2013 frequently accessed or “hot” data is stored on faster media, while less frequently accessed or “cold” data finds its place on slower media.<\/p>\n

In contrast, ZFS Special Devices prioritize metadata. Additionally, small records on datasets can also be placed on these Special Devices as well. This strategic placement significantly improves the overall performance of the data storage system<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

NVMe Partitioning Now Available in Open-E JovianDSS<\/h3>\n

Thanks to the Open-E JovianDSS Up30, you can now divide the NVMe disk space into partitions to use one device for both read cache and write log, and even to create an additional partition for Special Devices<\/strong>. The NVMe\u2019s partitions allow you to optimize your NVMe disk capacity utilization<\/strong>, which means less hardware used and money spent. It also simplifies your data storage system architecture, management, and maintenance<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
