OceanStor 9000 InfoEqualizer feature definition

Benefits of the OceanStor 9000 InfoEqualizer feature: - Improved service performance: InfoEqualizer can intelligently allocate the received client access requests to less loaded nodes, greatly improving client access performance. - Improved service reliability: InfoEqualizer can automatically detect a faulty node and switch services from the faulty node to other nodes, improving client access reliability. - Reduced maintenance costs: InfoEqualizer allows clients to access OceanStor 9000 using domain names, thereby eliminating the need to use specific IP addresses in each access. This function greatly simplifies management, reducing the management costs.

The InfoEqualizer feature must be configured before clients use domain names to access nodes in the NFS, CIFS, and FTP file sharing services.

InfoTier, which is also named dynamic storage tiering (DST), can store files on storage devices with different performance levels according to the file properties, and can migrate files between devices. In this way, InfoTier fits users' requirements on the files processing speed and storage capacity, and ensures optimized space utilization, enhanced access performance, and reduced total deployment cost.
