OceanStor Dorado V6—Ever Fast, Ever Solid, AI-Powered Storage

Today, Huawei launches the industry's leading all-flash storage—OceanStor Dorado V6.

Watch the replay: https://tinyurl.com/y2wcqca7 and say hello to this new high-end all-flash array benchmark.

Huawei OceanStor Dorado V6 (OceanStor C series) is an all-flash enterprise storage system designed for mission-critical services.

Employing a next-generation hardware platform, reliable SmartMatrix architecture, five intelligent chips, and the FlashLink® intelligent algorithm, OceanStor Dorado is the first full series storage that supports end-to-end Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) architecture, delivering industry-leading performance — of up to 20 million Input/Output Operations Per Second (IOPS)* — allied with extreme reliability: Dorado effectively prevents any service interruptions, offering fault detection systems that never affect services, and with no waiting time during upgrades.

Customized intelligent device training and the eService platform achieve intelligent lifecycle management, from resource provisioning to fault locating. Dorado V6 fully supports intelligent and elastic architecture to build an industry-leading intelligent Operations and Maintenance (O&M) system.

Huawei OceanStor Dorado V6 all-flash storage system satisfies the data-hungry storage requirements of large databases particularly in the carrier, finance, government, and manufacturing industries.

Performance with Chip-Powered Architectures

        Dorado V6 offers industry-leading performance of 20 million IOPS — twice that of competitor products — and just 0.1 ms latency, with an end-to-end high-speed platform developed from the chips up. The FlashLink® intelligent algorithm combined with 32 controllers offers powerful scalability that expedites enterprise transformation toward the all-flash era.

Always-On Applications with SmartMatrix

        Empowered by an intelligent balancing algorithm and a self-developed convergent network chip, SmartMatrix architecture tolerates the collective failure of seven out of eight controllers across engines without causing service interruptions — a capability that no other vendor can provide.

• Zero interruption on applications: Toleration of the failure of seven out of eight controllers across engines without disrupting services.

• Zero awareness of faults: Only one second switchover with uninterrupted links in the event of controller failure.

• Zero impact during upgrades: Only one second online upgrades with no impact on host services.

Efficient O&M with Edge-Cloud AI Synergy

       With the transition to all flash-oriented architecture, enterprises can boost IT efficiencies to increase profits while achieving intelligent O&M and delivering optimal user experience.

• Edge-cloud synergy: Built-in AI chips are used for incremental training and deep learning of service characteristics, enhancing personalized customer experience.

• AI throughout service lifecycle: Sixty day prediction of performance and capacity trends, 14-day prediction of disk faults, and immediate solutions for 93% of problems located.

• FLASH EVER program: Next generation software and hardware capabilities help make the most of existing investments.
