Comprehensive Enterprise Storage Features
SANOS 4.0 brings you to a totally different experience of SAN operating system. SANOS 4.0 boots up your XCubeSAN with ultimate high
performance by adopting ingenious SSD cache and auto tiering; smart and efficient storage space management by thin provisioning; and
undefeatable data protection by snapshot, local volume clone, and remote replication.
Thin Provisioning (QThin)
QThin operates by allocating disk storage space in a flexible manner among multiple
users, based on the minimum space required by each user at any given time. As the
storage pool fills, you can add extra disk groups to expand the storage pool capacity
without downtime.
SSD Cache (QCache)
QCache accelerates application performance by utilizing SSD drives as extended RAID
controller cache for frequently-accessed hot data, while most of the cold data are stored
in the hard drives. It can improve random read performance by up to 92 times and
random write by up to 171 times. QCache 2.0 supports read cache and write cache
which are up to four SSD cache pools per system. Each SSD cache pool can be used by
one dedicated storage pool and its multiple volumes shared for effective usage of
resources.
Auto Tiering (QTiering)
With QTiering technology, the XCubeSAN series can help you put the right data at the
right place in the right time for optimal use of all storage tiers and allow you to reduce
storage costs and management overhead while increasing performance and capacity.
Intelligent algorithm behind QTiering manages the data relocation and monitors the
data hotness ratio using half-life coefficient and advanced ranking mathematics.
Snapshot (QSanp)
QSnap is the easiest and most effective measurement to protect against ransomware attacks, virus attacks, accidental file deletion, accidental
file modification, or unstable system hardware caused by bad I/O cable connection, unstable power supply, etc. Writable snapshot support and
compatible with Windows VSS (Volume Shadow Copy Service) are features included to provide additional data availability.
Local Volume Clone (QClone)
QClone is used to make a duplicate copy of a volume in the same storage pool as well as in a separate storage pool within the same enclosure.
Manual and scheduled tasks are available for management flexibility. In the event that the source volume fails, IT managers can quickly switch
to the cloned volume and resume data services.
Remote Replication (QReplica)
QSAN remote replication is a block-level, asynchronous, differential remote volume backup function through LAN or WAN. QReplica 2.0 has
many powerful capabilities including unlimited bandwidth, traffic shaping, and multiple connections per replication task. It’s the most cost-ef-
fective and efficient way to perform remote data backup.
SANOS 4.0 SAN Operating System
SANOS 4.0 is QSAN’s proprietary SAN storage operating system. SANOS 4.0 is equipped with a refreshingly simple to use web GUI and easily
deployable into any infrastructure.
Based on the Linux kernel, SANOS delivers comprehensive storage functionality including advanced storage management, complete RAID
level protection, fast RAID rebuild, storage pool migration, thin provisioning, SSD cache, auto-tiering, snapshot, data backup & disaster
recovery, virtualization support, performance monitoring, and scale-up support and more.
