Xinhua San storage strategy core positioning: flash memory, massive data, artificial intelligence, super fusion

Each era has its own rhythm and direction of change. Usually the changes change from quantitative to quantitative, and eventually lead to qualitative changes, followed by a leap to a new era. But in the digital age, the laws of this change seem to no longer apply.

In the digital age, technology updates and revolutions have occurred simultaneously in multiple fields, followed by new concepts such as cloud computing, hybrid IT, big data, artificial intelligence, and new technologies that simultaneously act on enterprise business, allowing enterprise business to be presented. The trend of long marching and heading together. Because there are too many areas for change and the level of change is too deep, companies need time to adapt to change and find viable paths and means of change. Xinhua San refers to the state of this business change and change from time to time as the new normal of enterprises in the era of digital transformation.

Under this new normal, the data generated and collected by enterprises has gradually become the core assets and value of enterprises. As a data carrier, the storage system needs a round of multi-dimensional and deep-level innovation to adapt to the digital transformation under the new normal. This transformation must not only match the needs of the enterprise data value, but also be compatible with the deep changes in business applications.

Based on a deep understanding of the digital transformation of enterprises and the new normal of storage development, Ziguang's Xinhua Group III (Xinhua III) positions the core of its storage strategy: flash memory, massive data, artificial intelligence, and hyper-convergence. In the face of the most needed supporting technologies in the transformation of enterprises, Xinhua San is not only committed to manufacturing products that meet the needs of users, but also to create a feasible path for users to complete the transformation through technology, products and solutions.

Qualitative change, flash world

As a new kind of storage medium, flash memory has higher speed and lower latency than traditional hard disk, giving enterprises the ability to explore the value of data and respond to changes in the business layer. In recent years, flash memory has exploded and developed rapidly, and has gradually become the first choice for enterprises in the field of storage. According to IDC's forecast, from 2017 to 2021, the five-year compound growth rate of flash memory products will reach 15.1%; in 2021, the global flash memory industry revenue will reach $33.6 billion.

Xinhua III understands the company's expectations for high-performance, high-reliability flash memory products, so it has different positioning products on multiple product lines to meet the different needs of different companies.

Nimble Storage

First, Xinhua San released the Nimble series of flash arrays in the 2018 year. By arranging 10 products at two different levels of full flash and flash, Xinhua III can fully meet the different needs of flash memory products of different scales and types of enterprises. In addition to full coverage in positioning, Nimble itself provides users with "fast, stable, simple, and intelligent" features, redefining the four core requirements of enterprises for storage. With comprehensive flash optimization and next-generation controller technology, Nimble delivers the ultimate in performance to meet the rapidly changing scale and structure of enterprise applications. By adopting a more reliable three-check mechanism, Nimble is able to make enterprise data faster and more stable. Even in the extreme cases of controller downline, hard drive damage, etc., business and performance are not affected. Through multi-level, multi-dimensional upgrade strategies and powerful data management strategies, Nimble itself is a product that can be deployed faster, faster, and easier to upgrade; and it no longer needs to be re-planned for business in use. Performance and capacity.

In response to the various inconveniences encountered by enterprises in the storage process, Nimble provides an intelligent and active management platform - InfoSight, which utilizes the application experience of global users to optimize the user's local usage strategy and proactively store the user. The problems that arise provide early warnings that make Nimble's overall reliability a staggering 99.9999% (according to the statistics of actual user usage worldwide), with an average annual downtime of no more than 25 seconds.

In addition to positioning in the mid-end market, the pursuit of cost-effective Nimble series flash arrays, in the high-end applications, the pursuit of extreme performance and reliability of 3PAR flash arrays, Xinhua San also made important product updates in 2017: launched 3PAR 9450 full flash storage with the 3PAR 20000 series. These products have been greatly enhanced in terms of performance, manageability, security, stability, and cost performance. They have significant value for speeding up users, simplifying management, reducing business risks, and optimizing investment.

Quantitative change

In the digital age, human beings are generating data and consuming data faster and faster. This also means that companies need more space to store data and provide more power for business evolution. On the other hand, with the rapid rise of big data and artificial intelligence applications and the rich media of data itself, enterprises not only need to collect more data than ever before, but also need to store larger video, audio and picture data. And these require the company to have a huge storage space.

The UniStor X10000 launched by Xinhua III is tailor-made for the mass storage needs of enterprises. Its biggest feature is the horizontal expansion capability of up to 288 nodes, all of which can achieve up to 50PB in a single file system. At the same time, with the distributed system architecture design and large-scale optimization for unstructured data reading and writing, the read and write performance of the Xinhua III UniStor X10000 cluster can also be improved linearly with the number of nodes.

Massive storage space, strong scalability and comprehensive optimization for unstructured data and performance make the Xinhua III UniStor X10000 widely adaptable to monitoring, broadcasting, video sites, medical imaging and other application environments, providing the most for rich media big data. The ideal place to stay.

Fusion, AI convergence success wisdom and experience

Since the advent of electronic computers, AI has become a long-felt dream of mankind. Now, the big era of AI development has finally arrived. With AI technology, any little wisdom, experience, and immunity can be quickly aggregated and promote overall progress. When global wisdom comes together, artificial intelligence can be stronger and more practical than ever.

The emergence of Xinhua III InfoSight active intelligent management platform is also the concrete representation of this idea. By collecting experiences and issues in the use of global user products and conducting intelligent analysis in the cloud, InfoSight can quickly share the experience of individual users to users around the world. When a user encounters problems in the use of the product, the characteristics of the problem and the corresponding solution can be quickly and freely shared to all users. Through the intelligent application of InfoSight, users around the world will form an organic whole. Any innovation and experience will promote the common progress of all users, and any problem will make all users immune.

Transition, beyond fusion

In this era of change, the only constant is the change itself. The core objectives that enterprises must achieve in this round of transformation are no longer business or management, but architectural. The architecture that an organization needs is an architecture that is highly efficient and can change rapidly for business changes. And when this fast-changing architecture encounters a big data explosion, the entire storage system needs to be reorganized in a completely new way. Clearly, software-defined storage is currently the only means of meeting this need. The high-end version of software definition "storage hyper-convergence" is also one of the core objectives of the future of Xinhua San storage.
