MPS2500G3 Storage

Dual-controller support for 128GB to 512GB cache configurations, allowing users to flexibly select based on actual application requirements.

The MPS2500G3-12E in-rack controllers are interconnected via high-speed 25GE RDMA links, utilizing a horizontal SAN expansion architecture. It supports online horizontal expansion through 10/25/100GE Ethernet and 16/32G FC network protocols, scalable up to 16 storage controllers, 4TB of first-level cache, and a maximum drive capacity of 12,800 drives, enabling the construction of large-scale parallel storage systems to meet growing data processing demands.

MPS2500G3-12E adopt full redundancy architecture to ensure system reliability. The main components of the controller, such as chassis, controller, power supply, fan, and host interface card, adopt modular design, and support hot-swap and online replacement of individual components. When some components fail, it can realize rapid fault isolation and component replacement to avoid great impact on the whole system.

The controller adopts an Active-Active redundant dual-controller architecture, sharing data caching, I/O paths, and disk resources to achieve load balancing for storage workloads and improve storage system access performance.

The unique IDDC+CRAID technology can realize minute-class rapid reconfiguration of partially damaged hard disks. A single RAID group can tolerate the failure of any three hard disks without data loss. Based on the global load technology, IO is distributed to all hard disks, greatly improving IO concurrency and realizing rapid reconfiguration. The reconfiguration time of 1TB data can be shortened to within 30 minutes, and it allows multiple disks of a RAID group to have media failures without data loss. At the same time, combined with the slow power-on technology of the hard disk of the storage system, avoid the risk of current overload and tripping caused by the simultaneous power on of a large number of hard disks, so as to further ensure the high reliability of the system. In addition, the product supports the mixed insertion, hot –swap, and online replacement of different types of hard disks in the same hard disk cabinet to further ensure data security.

Without introducing any third-party software and hardware, directly realize the dual-active operation of two storages through two MPS2500G3 series storage arrays, which are redundant to each other. When one storage fails, the other storage can take over the service in real time, realizing zero RPO and RTO. The dual-active link between devices supports 10/25/100GE Ethernet and 16/32G FC. The dual-active feature can be combined with replication to achieve a ring-shaped 3DC disaster recovery solution across multiple sites and geographies, providing high reliability at the solution level.

It supports continuous data snapshot function and can create up to 2048 incremental historical time point copies for a single data volume. When data «soft» failures occur, such as data damage, virus damage, accidental deletion caused by software programs, data can be quickly recovered by «rolling back» the appropriate time point mark. This function is especially suitable for continuous data protection of critical services.

Supports both synchronous and asynchronous replication, allowing online switching according to business needs, balancing business performance and data protection. Supports local replication within devices and remote replication across devices, with replication links supporting 10/25/100GE Ethernet and 16/32G FC, providing users with flexible configuration options. Asynchronous replication supports customizable data transmission intervals and offers various configurations such as hop-by-hop, one-to-many, and many-to-one, enabling rapid business recovery based on data replicas in the event of unexpected disasters, ensuring continuous business operations. Synchronous replication operates at the I/O level, maintaining a fully synchronized real-time mirror of the primary data; when the primary data fails, the mirrored data can take over storage services, achieving PRO=0.

The cloning feature provides an online, highly available, and flexible data copy that is identical to the production volume at a specific point in time. After cloning, the cloned volume can be immediately provided to front-end applications for use without waiting for data synchronization to complete, making it suitable for application scenarios involving frequent data analysis or testing. It supports both forward and reverse synchronization, enabling rapid synchronization based on differential data without requiring a full re-cloning of all data, thus achieving continuous data protection and flexible usage.

MPSP storage operating system can intelligently identify the back-end storage media, automatically execute flash optimization algorithm for flash disk, reduce the operation frequency of hard disk, shorten the IO path, and provide extreme performance.

With flexible configuration choice, it can at least meet the disclosed budget needs at the initial stage of enterprise information construction.

Adopt the wizard configuration, and the administrator can complete the relevant configuration with a simple click of the mouse. Multiple devices can be managed at the same time on one management interface, which simplifies complexity and is suitable for management under large-scale deployment.
