Configure an Open-E DSS powered Active-Active cluster solution and benefit from these advantages over a single unit:

• Doubles your overall performance
• Eliminates a Single Point of Failure
• Self-Validation of the system!

What is Open-E Active-Active Failover

The Open-E DSS V7 Active-Active Failover Feature Pack allows you to simultaneously run volumes in the active mode on two nodes - providing high availability of data. In the event of a node failing, the other node takes over automatically whilst all application services continue ruinning without interruption.

There are a variety of plugins available:

Trusted Platform Module technology is designed to deliver hardware-based, security related functions. A TPM chip is a secure crypto-processor that is designed to execute cryptographic operations. As the chip features a multitude of physical security mechanisms to protect it from tampering, malicious software is not able to interfere with the security functions of the TPM. With TPM technology you are able to:

• Generate, store and limit the use of cryptographic keys.
• Utilise TPM technology for platform device authentication by using the TPM’s unique RSA key, which is burned into itself.
• Aid in ensuring platform integrity through taking and storing security measurements.

With remote server management cards, IT admins can maintain full control over a server without an on-site presence being required. Via the management cards, all console screen information and keyboard and mouse functionality are exported to a remote session, which can be managed from anywhere in the world.

NVIDIA Base Command

The operating system of the NVIDIA DGX data center.

Delivering a robust AI infrastructure for a large enterprise extends beyond mere hardware provision. Achieving maximum performance and usability demands thoughtful design and orchestration of the entire data center. This entails not only selecting top-tier technologies like the NVIDIA DGX™ platform, NVIDIA networking, optimised storage, and more, but also employing advanced infrastructure software to ensure optimal management and utilisation.

ZeusRAM Enterprise Class SSD

STEC ZeusRAM solid-state drives (SSDs) deliver DRAM-like read and write speeds with the persistent data storage of flash.

ZeusRAM is an enterprise-class, power-safe and flash-backed DDR3 RAM drive that is targeted for high write transactional environments requiring fast write commit capabilities to speed up end user application throughput of NAS and unified storage appliances. During the warranted life of the product, enterprise applications can write to ZeusRAM at extremely high speeds, 24 hours per day, 365 days per year, year after year and the drive will not wear out — even under the most write-intensive workloads.

STEC’s PowerSafe technology provides critical data protection with instant data backup and recovery in the event of power interruption. ZeusRAM has the additional advantage of being hot-pluggable, so SSDs can be swapped in and out without system downtime.

The Target FC Plug-in provides a set of capabilities, including an intuitive user interface, which assists in the use of NexentaStor as a block-level Fibre Channel target. Target FC includes adaptive multi-pathing so that performance scales up, as needed, with additional threads.

The plug-in manages these threads over time, including closing them if not needed. It creates logical groups of initiators and targets, so that a particular application has, for example, unique access to a particular ZVOL, or virtual block device, and, thereby, inherits the storage management policies unique to that ZVOL, such as replication and protection schemes.

Target FC has added support for multiple mappings of LUNs. Target FC works with NexentaStor 3 and above only. In NexentaStor 3.0, Target iSCSI functionality was moved from the Target 2.0 Plug-in into the NexentaStor base code.

The HA Cluster eliminates, as a single point of failure, the NexentaStor instances themselves. The HA Cluster Plug-in enables two NexentaStor instances to be configured as an active / active pair. At the same time, along with another NexentaStor instance, the plug-in provides high availability for shared storage accessible from both appliances.

The storage jointly managed via HA Cluster is configured as shared storage. You can establish RAID and replication policies to protect the data itself in a number of ways with the aid of NexentaStor. Other new enhancements include:

• Support for multiple virtual IPS
• Removal of requirement for alternate dedicated heartbeat device
