7. Present Situation One: Serious Heterogenization of Hosts and Storage Devices Application layer WINDOWS Network layer Storage layer Heterogeneous host operating systems Heterogeneous storage devices AIX HP-UX Solaris Linux

8. Present Situation Two: Low Usage of Storage Devices Caused by Traditional Storage Approaches Usage of 50% Usage of 99% Usage of less than 10% Application layer Storage layer File server Database server OA server Insufficient space Various departments of an enterprise purchase a large number of storage devices by stage based on different businesses. The usages of storage devices, however, range from less than 10% to nearly 100%. When the network cannot meet the capacity requirement, the enterprise must purchase devices with larger capacity to expand the network.

10. Present Situation Four: Many Problems in Unified Disaster Recovery Through Traditional Approaches Production center Disaster Recovery center Problem 1: DAS storage Problem 2: Heterogeneous SAN storage devices Problem 3: Certain storage devices do not provide the remote replication function.

29. Comparison Between Huawei Symantec VIS and H3C IV Series Maximum number of LUNs: 2048; maximum capacity of LUN: ≥ 2 TB Unknown LUN 2–8 Unknown Number of clusters 24 x 4 GB FC, 12 x 1GB IP, 6 host interface modules; FC/IP is available for choice, further supporting 10GE, 10GFC, and SAS 16 x 4 GB FC interface (LC multi-mode interface) 16 x GE interface (RJ45) The maximum number of each type of interfaces cannot exceed 16.

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
