21. Oceanspace VIS6000 -- Data Protection Across Storage Platforms Array 1 Array 2 Array N 1) The host accesses the data on Array 1 properly. 2) The host writes the data into Array N, without affecting the host 1) The host accesses the data on arrays properly. 2) The host creates a snapshot for Volume A of HP array, and stores the snapshot in EMC array. EMC IBM HP 3) The host creates a snapshot for Volume B of HP array, and stores the snapshot in IBM array. Mirroring across storage platforms guarantees the continuity of applications The source volume and mirroring volume are stored in different storage devices manufactured by different vendors. If the source volume is faulty, the mirroring volume takes over the services of the source volume, without affecting the host during the handover. Snapshot across storage platforms protects the consistency of data Creating snapshots across storage devices of different vendors, without affecting the services of the host Creating snapshots in a short time, and capturing a copy of online data in real time

Each I/O granularity is refined, and RTO/RPO granularity is very small. RTO may be equal to zero, which brings real-time replication in real sense. The announced continuous data protection (CDP) technology is not the one in real sense. Data replication is based on block; A data block with minimum size of 512 bytes can be replicated to the remote end. No data replication based on I/O granularity is available. The replication is not real-time. Replication technology Adopting a flexible replication policy so that the data can be replicated based on the set timing or quantifying conditions. The compression fuction does not adopt a flexible technology, but adopts an open and standard compression algorithm. Real-time replication based on I/O granularity is not available. Compression technology The overall VIS architecture is designed on the basis of many current mature technologies, such as multi-path management, virtualization management, disaster recovery replication solution, and cluster management. The product architecture is designed on the basis of an excellent platform, which implements a high reliability. Immature technologies about multi-path management, virtual management, and real-time replication, without a guarantee of system reliability. Design Based on network virtualization and block virtualization VIS is a self-developed product of Huawei Symantec, with proprietary source codes. Problems can be located quickly. H3C IV Series are implemented on the basis of the IPstor software of Falcon, which causes restrictions on function expansion. Since the codes are provided by other vendor, H3C fails to locate the problems quickly. Work principle Huawei Symantec VIS H3C IV Series Item

30. Comparison About Replication Technologies Between VIS and IV Series The replication technology adopted by the IV5600 is based on snapshot, with a high value of RPO. To replicate the data, create a snapshot first. Creating a snapshot consumes a large number of host resources. If snapshots are created frequently, the quality of the services provided by the host is affected greatly. Snapshot based replication is not an advanced technology, and is implemented without difficulties. VIS IV5600 Replication technologies are adopted to implement disaster recovery for user data based on IP or FC network. Vendors adopt different replication technologies that have different work principles and mechanisms. Huawei adopts the replication technology that is advanced currently to provide lossless disaster recovery for the data of existing production systems. The replication technology adopted by the VIS is based on dynamic I/O replication. Each I/O granularity is refined, and RPO may be equal to zero, which brings real-time replication in real sense. The replication technology adopted by the VIS requires no support of snapshot, and the services of the host cannot be affected during the replication. I/O-based replication requires advanced technologies, and is a development trend in the industry.
