Ceph FileStore VirtualStor Extreme
Minimizes Write Amplification (WA)
 Write amplification (WA) is an
undesirable phenomenon with flash
where the actual amount of data
physically written to the media is a
multiple of the logical amount
intended to be written. It will make
SSD life reduced.
 Compared with Ceph, VirtualStor
Extreme significantly minimizes WA to
1.05. Almost 7x extension of SSD
lifetime compared to other SDS.

11. Other AFA/ SDS VirtualStor™ Extreme
Infrastructure is physically predefined and not agile
enough to meet changing business demands.
Software Composable Infrastructure. Virtual Storage
can be provisioned on the fly to satisfy various business
applications.
Only can storage data. Not able to migrate or consolidate
existing storage. Not able to be the cache layer for
existing storage.
Consolidate existing storage together with all flash.
Seamless migration old data to save TCO.
Traditional scale-up architecture with limited storage
protocols
Scale-out architecture with SAN/NAS/Object multiple
protocols in one cluster
Huge write amplification. SSDs easily wear out.
Minimize write amplification and offer much longer
SSD life by Bigtera storage I/O engine
High and variable responses. QoS bad.
High performance with very low and stable latency.
High Quality of Service.
