Streamlined and AI-Powered Device Worth Every Cent
Huawei designed the OceanStor Dorado all-flash storage to handle mission-critical applications, both internal and customerfacing, for large enterprises, as well as mixed workloads. The OceanStor Dorado leverages a multiple controller, end-to-end
non-volatile memory express (NVMe) architecture they call SmartMatrix to reduce the latency in accessing NVMe and flashbased storage and ensure high availability. It can scale out since the OceanStor Dorado V6 supports up to 32 controllers
High Performance
Intelligent multi-core technology
OceanStor Dorado 3000 V6, Dorado 5000 V6, and Dorado 6000 V6 storage systems use Huawei-developed CPUs, providing the industry's most CPUs and cores in a storage controller. The intelligent multi-core technology allows storage performance to increase linearly with the number of CPUs and cores
High Reliability
OceanStor Dorado 3000 V6, Dorado 5000 V6, and Dorado 6000 V6 storage systems offer advanced protection technologies to minimize risks of disk failures and data loss, and protect data against catastrophic disasters, ensuring continuous system running.
Flexible Scalability
OceanStor Dorado 3000 V6, Dorado 5000 V6, and Dorado 6000 V6 storage systems support both scale-up and scale-out, achieving flexible scalability while maintaining high performance.
Scale-up
Increases storage capacity and improves processing capabilities of existing controllers.
Scale-out
Enables performance to increase linearly with the number of controllers.
High Availability (HA)
OceanStor Dorado 3000 V6, Dorado 5000 V6, and Dorado 6000 V6 storage systems use TurboModule, online capacity expansion, and disk roaming to ensure service continuity during routine maintenance
TurboModule enables hot swap of controllers, fans, power modules, interface modules, BBUs, and disks.
Online capacity expansion allows you to add disks to the system online with ease.
Disk roaming enables the storage system to automatically identify relocated disks and resume their services.
