Introducing StorNext5 and Lattus
1 like•1,914 views
StorNext 5 introduces new appliances built from the ground up to provide faster performance, 5x greater scalability, and optimization for modern workflows. Key features include a new modern core with improved caching, compact metadata, and management. Performance is improved across all file sizes up to 10x faster, and it scales to support up to 5 billion files. StorNext 5 provides topology-agnostic access over Fibre Channel, IP/NAS, and InfiniBand. It is optimized for Quantum's StorNext Q-Series storage and Lattus object storage. StorNext 5 also introduces native LTFS support for tape formats and is architected for long-term efficiency and non-disruptive updates.
Introducing StorNext5 and Lattus
- 2. Modern Workflows Have Changed Operations Video, Image and Sensor data paths are 100% digital Deliver Globally distributed teams require shared access Various sized unstructured data files are managed Topologies and interconnects have evolved
- 3. StorNext 5 Appliances A New Era for Digital Workflows Built from the Ground Up for – Performance – Scalability – Flexibility
- 4. Engineered from the Ground up Next Generation Technology A New Modern Core – New cache management – Multiprocessor aware with lower CPU utilization – More compact on-disk format – New reporting/management framework
- 5. 5x Greater Scalability Up to 5 Billion Files – Metadata scalable to petabytes – Designed for large block allocation space – No slowdown as FS grows and ages
- 6. 10x Faster Performance* Across the Board Performance Improvements – All files sizes improve – File creates and deletes up to 10x faster – Small file performance greatly increased up to 100% – Takes full advantage of SSD Flash and multi-core processors * Performance measured in standardized testing against StorNext v4.2 file create and delete performance, real-world application performance may vary
- 7. Beyond the SAN IP/NAS + SAN and beyond Topology Agnostic – Fibre Channel, IP/NAS and beyond - all highly optimized with new cache parameters and better system tuning – All operating systems enjoy better performance and lower latency – Takes advantage of InfiniBand for lower latency applications such as HPC
- 8. Optimized for StorNext Q-Series and Lattus Object Storage Improved Affinities Provide Better Disk Performance – Automated tuning and reduced parameters, now self-tuned for Quantum disk – Buffer cache I/O improvements and smaller block allocation improve performance on Petabyte-scale Lattus Object Storage
- 9. Native LTFS Capability Choice of LTO Tape Format LTFS format – – – – – Meets LTFS standards Non-proprietary format Content delivery Collaboration Long-term vaulting Quantum ANTF format – Higher read and write performance – Single file can span multiple tapes
- 10. Architected for the Long-Term Redesigned To Boost Efficiency and Performance – RAM, CPU cache, controller and disk IO all important in FS performance – Shrinking metadata makes all these more effective – Fit more in RAM and cache – Move more with bandwidth – Maintain consistent performance over time – Seamless, non-disruptive software updates
- 11. Flash & InfiniBand Optimized Takes Full Advantage of SSD and Flash for Performance – Low latency and high I/O applications benefit most – Improves HPC and analytic operations – Improves small file performance – Support for InfiniBand
- 12. Engineered from the Ground up 5x Greater Scalability 10x Faster Performance* Beyond the SAN IP/NAS + SAN and beyond Optimized for StorNext Q-Series and Lattus Object Storage Native LTFS Capability Architected for the Long-Term Flash & InfiniBand Optimized
