This release of JovianDSS contains updates and fixes that improve the software‘s performance, encryption options, compatibility, and flexibility. Storage management and usability of the product have been optimized as well.

Some of the most critical functionalities included in the list of new features in the Up29r2 version are:

• RDMA protocol support for mirroring path connection dedicated to Mellanox and Atto 100GbE NICs,

• SSD TRIM support,

• Self-Encrypting Drives (SED) feature support for certified drives.

“Support for RDMA increases the performance between nodes in a Cluster over Ethernet configurations, while SSD TRIM support provides an extra level of performance for solid-state drives with an increased SSD life expectancy. Last but not least, support for built-in SED feature enables encrypting and decrypting drive data without the need for user input or additional disk encryption software.,” asserts Krzysztof Franek, CEO.
