During Huawei Connect 2021, the firm’s kicked-off one session with the theme of ‘All-flash Data Center’ builds a green, reliable, intelligent data ‘Highway’ with a speech from one of the speakers, Mr. Michael Fan, director, storage solution sales dept, Huawei Enterprise BG.

Fan introduced the range of protection levels that are covered by the OceanProtect solution, and said: “In terms of DR scenarios, it provides various features, such as gateway-free active-active or 3DC solutions, on-click DR drills, and failover (withins). While for backup scenarios, the OceanProtect X series provides fast backup and recovery and efficient space reduction.“

The solution is firstly designed to offer full DR of hot data. This means it integrates DR for SAN and NAS, and provides worry-free device upgrade to maximize ROI. The solution can also flexibly adopt the firm’s active-active DR design to reduce customers’ initial investment and meet their evolving DR requirements. This design also guarantees the non-disruptive upgrade from one system to active-active or active-passive dual-system deployment, and then to three-data-center (3DC) or even multi-DC four-copy solution. This allows equipment to be upgraded online as and when required. Customers can upgrade the DR protection level to achieve better, effective protection for production data.

Furthermore, the solution achieves backup and restoration of warm data – specifically, backup, reuse, and storage. This feat uses OceanProtect A8000 appliance and OceanProtect X8000/X9000 backup storage, which provide backup and recovery bandwidths. These products implement full, accelerated backup and recovery for warm or hot data, enabling backup data to flow like production data.
