Developed by Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. (Huawei), the OceanStor 18500/18800/18800F enterprise storage systems are new-generation storage systems featuring virtualization, hybrid cloud, thin IT, and low carbon footprint. Designed for medium- and large-sized data centers in enterprises, the OceanStor enterprise storage system focuses on critical services in enterprise data centers, virtualization data centers, and cloud data centers. Also, it meets requirements on robust reliability, superb performance, and high efficiency.

Service data amounts in enterprises keep rising quickly with service development and pose more rigorous demands on storage systems. Traditional storage systems have troubles in coping with this fast data growth and are facing a series of problems: storage performance bottlenecks, maintenance and capacity expansion interrupting services, inability to distinguish hot data and cold data, slow response to service requests, and storage system operation and maintenance (O&M) costs rising in total cost of ownership (TCO). To resolve all these problems for customers, Huawei has launched the OceanStor enterprise storage system.

The OceanStor 18000 series enterprise storage systems inherit the flexible and scalable design and employ the horizontally scalable Smart Matrix architecture. The architecture has multiple engines (each engine containing two controllers) and provides up to eight system bays and two disk bays for an enterprise data center. The hardware is seamlessly integrated with an enterprise data center to boost efficiency and scalability, perfectly meeting the requirements of Online Transaction Processing/Online ***ytical Processing (OLTP/OLAP), high-performance computing (HPC), digital media, Internet-based operation, centralized storage, backup, disaster recovery, and data migration.
