Overview

The SD2000 enables infinite modular expansion of storage capacity and performance with zero downtime, allowing real-time, cost-effective, and efficient online access to massive volumes of data. FiberHome provides end-to-end maintenance services for the storage system integration software, enabling IT organizations to fully leverage these open standards without any implementation or operational risks.

The FitStor SD2000 delivers ultra-scalable object, block, and file storage with data capacity exceeding 50PB at a low cost, making it an ideal storage system for OpenStack users, cloud service providers, IT and telecommunications companies, as well as media and broadcasting firms. Whether for financial institutions and public utilities dealing with growing document repositories or large-scale business analytics/big data applications, or for organizations processing integrated multimedia data, the FitStor SD2000 provides exceptional services.

The architecture of the FitStor SD2000 is completely different from that of traditional storage systems. It achieves scalability of capacity and performance through storage nodes equipped with industry-standard servers and storage subsystems optimized for cost and performance. The system can scale up to 4096 storage nodes, which are then managed as a single storage pool. Capacity and performance scale linearly with each added node via a sophisticated data distribution mechanism. Additionally, ultra-fast interconnection between nodes and SSD caches eliminates communication latency between nodes.

Application Scenarios

The FitStor SD2000 is a universal distributed software-defined storage product compatible with various mainstream hardware server products. Through different hardware configurations, it can implement solutions with high performance, high density, high capacity, and high bandwidth, and can be applied to a wide range of storage scenarios—from databases to large-capacity cold data.

Meanwhile, the FitStor system is also a "flexibly deployable and dynamically scalable" software solution. It enables infinite modular expansion of storage capacity and performance without downtime, facilitating instant, cost-effective, and efficient online access to massive data; it achieves nearly unlimited and flexible scalability of capacity and performance. As a result, users can finally realize "pay-as-you-grow" deployment, eliminating unnecessary upfront investments and the need to risk mandatory data migration due to capacity limitations.

Features and Advantages

The FitStor SD2000 is an enterprise-grade ultra-large-scale distributed storage product with the following prominent advantages:

Instant Recovery: The FitStor SD2000 ensures data is evenly distributed across system nodes and hard drives, with redundant copies of data stored in different physical regions for immediate use and recovery in case of node or hard drive failures. This is completely different from RAID architectures, which require a long rebuild time once a hard drive fails.

High Cost-Effectiveness: Due to the highly distributed nature of data in the FitStor SD2000 system, performance hotspots are automatically avoided, enabling high I/O performance through numerous parallel read/write operations. Thus, it achieves high performance at the cost of large-capacity hard drives while reducing overall costs.

High Scalability: The FitStor SD2000 system supports online maintenance, online expansion, and node technology upgrades through self-management and self-healing capabilities, and automatically adjusts itself in response to changes. Storage nodes of different generations can be mixed, significantly extending the system lifecycle and reducing migration costs.

High Compatibility: The FitStor SD2000 provides users with highly scalable, recoverable, and cost-effective storage capabilities, seamlessly adapting to evolving business and data requirements. It is suitable for government, healthcare, education, finance, telecommunications, media and broadcasting, and OpenStack cloud service sectors.
