Huawei's Storage Products With Record-breaking Performance

With 13 years of experience, Huawei has designed intelligent chips, hardware platforms, and operating systems for its all-flash arrays, and has innovatively used FlashLink technology to fully utilize the capabilities of all-flash arrays.

Three intelligent chips implement end-to-end acceleration for transmission, storage, and management. Specifically, the multi-protocol interface chip accelerates data transmission, the SSD controller chip accelerates data access, and intelligent management chip speeds up fault management. At the hardware layer, the latest-generation Purley CPU, along with dual-uplink acceleration are used to provide a stable chassis for all-flash arrays.

At the operating system layer, a unique disk-controller collaboration algorithm is developed based on the all-flash array features. This algorithm enables SSDs and storage controllers to work together in order to make the most of all-flash systems.

In March 2018, Huawei's next-generation high-end all-flash storage OceanStor 18800F V5 went through the most authoritative SPC-1 performance benchmark testing currently available and set a new SAN performance record, with 6,000,572 IOPS, breaking that previously set by the OceanStor 18500 V3.

The OceanStor 18800F V5 has a maximum performance of 6 million IOPS and a latency of less than 1 ms. Statistics show that 99.984% I/O responses are within 1 ms.

One month later, during the SPEC SFS®2014_swbuild benchmark test, Huawei's OceanStor 6800F V5 achieved 500, 009 OPS, performing nearly twice as well as NetApp FAS8200 in enterprise NAS performance.

Unrivaled performance both the SAN and NAS fields reflects the advantages of Huawei's next-generation intelligent all-flash storage systems in parallel architecture, and helps Huawei to continuously provide state-of-the-art storage products, ensuring a better data management experience for customers.

This is also not the first time that Huawei storage has reached the top. Huawei OceanStor has been participating in SPC certifications since 2010, and has broken the SPC-1 performance testing records multiple times, surpassing IBM, Hitachi, and NetApp.
