Open-E JovianDSS provides unlimited options to
architect storage environments with iSCSI,
Fibre Channel (FC) and NFS, SMB (CIFS) protocols for
companies of any size - from small family businesses
through medium companies to large enterprises.
The Linux-based architecture provides Open-E JovianDSS
with much better hardware compatibility than competing
products based on other operating systems.
Open-E JovianDSS is a perfect choice for any virtualized
storage environment as it supports VMware, Citrix,
Microsoft Hyper-V and ProxMox. It can be set up
on physical servers or as a virtual storage appliance
(e.g. in hyper-converged environments).
Open-E JovianDSS key data storage features and benefits
Data Acceleration
- Acceleration of random writes with Write Log (ZIL)
- Hybrid Read Cache with first level in RAM
(ARC -Adaptive Replacement Cache) and second Read
Cache level on an SSD or NVMe (L2ARC)
- High cache hit rate by using ARC's most recently
used (MRU) and most frequently used (MFU) Read Cache
algorithms
- Compression for improved performance
- Data resilvering rebuilding of used space only
Data Accessibility
- iSCSI,Fibre Channel (FC), NFS, SMB (CIFS)
- Use of Virtual IPs
Data Availability
- High-Availability Dual-Controller Clustering
- Active-Active and Active-Passive HA Cluster
- Dual Storage (Stretched) Metro HA Cluster and
Common Storage Cluster architectures
Data Integrity and Protection
- Data and metadata check-summing
- Self-healing to detect and correct silent data
errors with Scrub utility
- Atomic Transaction Writes to keep data consistent
- Transactional copy-on-write I/O operations
eliminate silent data corruption and data fragmentation
- Storing multiple copies of user data
Data Optimization
- Inline Compression ( LZ4, LZJB, ZLE, GZIP 1..9 )
- Inline Deduplication
- Thick, Thin and Over-Provisioning
- Lightweight snapshots and clones taking up space once changes are made only
User Authentication
