Datamax

Every business, starting from a small office all the way up to the fortune 500 companies, has been through the process of setting up a storage solution. In this Information Era, where and how you store your data might well be an essential factor in the rise or fall of your company. It all boils down to three simple ideas:

  1. Performance;
  2. Capacity;
  3. Resilience.

Combining these three items in a solution according to what you need, will determine your cost per GB. Our Datamax productline is designed to optimize the balance between these 4 elements of Performance, Capacity, Resilience and the Total Cost of Ownership.

Design philosophy

The VFusion DM-X series are software defined storage appliances, designed for attaining the highest possible capacity/performance ratio, while maintaining the lowest possible TCO.

In order to achieve this, VFusion utilizes Storage Artificial Intelligence that we built into VFusionOS. It allows multiple storage tiers with AI advanced multistep caching for reads and writes, which in turn allows for custom and dedicated caching for every storage tier, depending on project requirements.

VFusion DM-X Use Cases

  • SAN and NAS storage targets
  • Disk backup targets, Snapshots, replication and mirroring
  • Disaster recovery
  • Offline/Offsite backup
  • SMB, CIFS and NFS storage target
  • Policy based VM storage
  • Amazon S3 storage target
  • Commvault and Veeam storage targets
  • Hyper-V and VMware storage target

Benefits of Adopting VFusion DM-X systems

  • Lowest TCO in the industry without sacrificing performance;
  • The ability to consolidate large volumes of data;
  • The flexibility to optimize storage costs by storage tier;
  • Optimal storage capacity and performance;
  • Creating a fast yet cost effective archiving tier (also usable for LUN/Dataset snapshots);
  • Creating a fast yet cost effective disk backup tier;
  • Creating a fast yet cost effective VM tier;
  • NAS and SAN functionality within the same appliance each within its own Tier;
  • Online and Offline Datasets and targets withing the same appliance;
  • Advanced AI caching technology allowing for hot data blocks;
  • Each storage tier has its own separately assigned cache capacity;
  • Tight integration with Datamax storage appliances for replication and offline data targets;
  • 3 Petabytes of capacity in 10U rack space (CP-500);
  • Non disruptive hardware and software upgrades (clustered environments);
  • 0 downtime disk and shelf expansion;
  • Multiple levels of data reduction assignable per tier and per disk group;
  • Backup-focused features enables creating consistent snapshots and asynchronous snapshot replication to local and/or remote destinations. The replication tasks can be set according to the specific user requirements thanks to advanced retention plans.
  • Solved the problem of backup window
    Backup window is reduced to minutes, since only data changes are replicated within every interval. Additionally, the backup is offloaded from the client machine to the storage server.
  • Protection against Ransomware
    Very frequent snapshots with instant access to all data provide a quick way to roll-back to the state before a virus attack.
  • Instant access to and restore of previous data versions
    Old data versions can be accessed and restored quickly, since they are kept in the original form. Users can instantly start using their backed up data. Also, every user has a direct access to “Previous Versions” via SMB on MS Windows clients.
  • Optional removal and rotation of backup media
    Thanks to Pool Export and Import functionalities, users can safely remove backup media (disks), rotate with other sets, or ship to another location.
  • Instant restoring from the same server
    Crucial or “hot” data can be restored instantly from one of multiple snapshots through the Snapshot Rollback function. Also, users can access the snapshot data and manually restore all selected files.
  • Data restore from a local backup server
    With a local backup server, data is available in the same location and can be recovered with a minimum amount of downtime by temporarily using a backup server as the data server while the primary server is being restored.
  • Data restore from off-site locations
    It is possible to instantly switch to the backup server and use it temporarily as a primary location (depending on the system structure) and do the restore in the background. Restoring data from an off-site server may be more time-consuming, depending on the amount of data that needs to be recovered, as well as the connection throughput.
