Overview:
EonStor GSc 3000 Series enhances the speed and performance of enterprise cloud access with high availability local storage and cloud cache feature. Enterprises with data already on the cloud can speed-up cloud access by designating the local storage as cache. Cloud backup feature also enables local data to take periodic snapshots to the cloud for remote backup.
Hybrid Cloud Storage Appliance
EonStor GSc family of hybrid cloud storage appliances are designed for businesses to streamline cloud deployment and access by moving and managing data between local and cloud in a transparent manner. Integrated with cloud storage gateway, GSc offers differentiated features in cloud cache, cloud backup, and cloud tiering. GSc family inherited company’s GS line of superior unified storage performance and available in 3 series.
Today companies across industries and verticals are getting on the cloud. Infortrend introduced all new EonStor GSc family of hybrid cloud storage appliance designed for businesses to streamline cloud deployment by moving and managing data between local and cloud in a transparent manner. GSc offers differentiated features in cloud cache, cloud backup, and cloud tiering.
GSc family inherited company's GS line of superior unified storage performance and available in 3 series. EonStor GSc 2000 / 3000 series are cost-effective solutions to meet the cloud storage needs from SMBs to large enterprises. EonStor GSc 5000 series is the high performance cloud storage system designed for modern data centers.
Integrated with cloud storage gateway functions, GSc simplifies cloud setup by maintaining compatibility with existing IT environment and offers cloud data access to both file and block-level using common protocols, thus greatly reduced the difficulty to reconfigure.
In addition, GSc allows enterprise with data already on the cloud to speed-up cloud access by designating the local storage as cache. With advanced cache feature, IT managers can further optimize cache performance with 9 types of intelligent cache policies with extensive parameter settings. Cloud backup feature also enables local data to take periodic snapshots to the cloud for remote backup. Cloud tiering feature places the frequently accessed hot data in the local while less-frequently accessed cold data to the cloud.
Data security has always been the top concern for enterprises to get on the cloud. GSc supports AES 256-bit data encryption and ensures no public cloud data can be decrypted by anyone else. Furthermore, all transmissions to and from the cloud are SSL encrypted to ensure additional data security. Built-in data compression and deduplication features can effectively reduce the amount of cloud data space used, resulting in cost-savings. Initially, GSc offers connectivity to Amazon S3, Microsoft Azure, Openstack Swift, and Alibaba Cloud.
Features & Benefits:
Easy Cloud Integration with the Existing IT Environment and Applications
GSc provides enterprise IT applications with general file or block-level as well as the local and cloud data through the common protocols (e.g. NFS /CIFS /iSCSI /Fibre). Therefore, companies do not need to re-engineer existing IT systems or applications in order to connect to the cloud, greatly reduced the difficulty of cloud integration.
Faster Cloud Data Access
Since the cloud data is accessed through the Internet, the access speed is slow and latency is high, resulting in bad user experience. GSc can designate the local storage to act as cloud cache by placing frequently accessed data on the local side, allowing most of data access to be as fast as local.
Flexible Cache Policy Improves the Efficiency of Data Access
With more than 9 different types of cache policies, IT managers can set up the cache according to their needs. The default cache policy keeps the download data in the local cache, and if local space is insufficient the system will then delete less frequently accessed files. The high priority policy allows the data to be continuously retained in the local cache folder, such as frequently used work files. Uncacheable for write policy allows users to store data directly to the cloud instead of storing it in local cache, such as data backup files. The settings of these cache policies allow users to optimize use of local cache space and improve the efficiency of data access.
Secure and Protect Enterprise Data
Preventing data breach has always been the biggest concern for enterprises to put any data on the cloud. GSc supports data encryption with user keeping the encryption key, and ensures no public cloud data can be decrypted by anyone else. In addition, all transmissions to and from the cloud are SSL/TLS encrypted to ensure additional data security.
Cost-Saving on Cloud Storage and Network Bandwidth
The cost of cloud storage is based on the size of the data space in the cloud and the amount of bandwidth used. GSc with built-in data compression and deduplication features can effectively reduce the amount of cloud data space used, resulting in cost-savings for both network bandwidth and cloud storage.
Scalable Data Support
One major benefit of cloud storage is its flexible expandability. EonCloud Gateway supports PB level cloud storage capacity and billions of cloud files, completely meeting the massive data needs on the cloud of enterprises.
Access Control List (ACL) Synchronization via Cloud to Multiple Local Storages
When enterprise share files via the cloud to multiple local storages, maintaining access control of files have always been a challenging issue since cloud doesn’t really have a file system that supports ACL and making IT management difficult. GSc provides an access control list synchronization mechanism under a multiple storage environment via cloud, thus resolving this challenging issue.
EonOne - an Easy-to-Use Interface for Storage Management
With the constant evolution of storage platforms, the EonStor GSc adopted the all new EonOne management software to assist customers improve storage and service efficiency to increase productivity. Its intuitive interface and work flow design allows for centralized management of multiple systems, monitoring of performance and capacity usage, and completion of all related system configurations.
Hybrid Storage Arrays
From data growth, management of numerous hardware devices, to annual budget cuts, IT personnel need to face ever-changing challenges every day. The EonStor GSc can be set up as a hybrid cloud storage according to their needs, and combined with either SSD Cache or Automated Storage Tiering, it can utilize the high performance of SSDs and the large capacity of HDDs, while automatically moving frequently accessed data to SSDs to achieve simplified management and proper use of resources.
Rich Host Interface in GSc Family
As there is a wide range of enterprise applications, the required communication interface for each application may differ. Infortrend provides rich communication interfaces in SAN environments, including FC 16Gb/s, FC 8Gb/s, iSCSI 40Gb/s, iSCSI 10Gb/s, iSCSI 1Gb/s, InfiniBand 56Gb/s and SAS 12Gb/s to allow complete compatibility with all applications. Furthermore, 40GbE/10GbE/1GbE ports are also offered in network environments to provide fast and reliable data sharing and data transfer quality.
Modular Design
From power supplies, fans, controllers, to host boards, all Infortrend products adopt modular designs to lower maintenance complexity and provide fast, precise technical support and RMA services, so that your storage system is free from any down time to maintain non-stop services and increase productivity and competitiveness.
Multiple Form Factors to Choose From
Infortrend provides multiple specifications for storage systems and expansion enclosures such as 2U12-bay, 2U24-bay, 2U25-bay, 3U16-bay, 4U24-bay, 4U60-bay, etc. even in the same series, so that enterprises can choose what’s perfect for them according to their current or future needs.
Use Case:
Pharmaceutical Industry
Clinical-trial data is paramount for drug development and must be backed up and protected against any potential mishaps. Therefore, a Hybrid Cloud Storage Solution that includes both local and remote backup is needed to guarantee 100% data protection.
For the local backup, GSc offers high-IOPs performance to achieve low-latency real-time backup of the application data. For remote backup, GSc can integrate with the on premise DPM (Data Protection Manager) server using common protocols and serve as cloud cache to buffer these large backup files. These backup files can then securely transmit to the cloud service during off-peak hours.
Furthermore, GSc supports snapshot when unexpected error occurs, the enterprise can roll back the snapshot from the cloud to achieve disaster recovery solution. Therefore, in the pharmaceutical industry the GSc not only can play the backup role but a disaster recovery solution.
