Virtualization technology still plays an important role in the enterprise private cloud IT infrastructure. At the same time, in order to further improve application efficiency, more and more production environments are gradually changing from a virtual machine-centric architecture to a container-and micro-service-centric cloud native architecture. In this process, how storage effectively supports a variety of cloud host applications and micro-service applications It presents new challenges for the private cloud data center of the enterprise.

Problems faced by enterprises

Storage facilities have seven countries and eight systems, and hardware locking lacks flexibility.

Various cloud platforms have different requirements for storage. Block / file / object storage corresponds to different types of applications and provides different service interfaces. One storage device can not meet the storage needs of many types of cloud platforms. And traditional storage can not meet the needs of online elastic expansion of storage for large-scale cloud platforms in the cloud era. In terms of maintainability, we are faced with some problems, such as hardware architecture binding, complex operation and maintenance, difficult maintenance and so on, and these problems will be further magnified with the increase of the type and number of storage devices.

Business scheduling changes frequently and resources cannot be shared

With the development and testing of virtual machines and the launch of containers and micro-service platforms on enterprise private cloud platforms, the rapid iteration and frequent release of applications in large enterprises pose a serious challenge to the support of storage systems. Data from different businesses are stored in storage devices of different vendors, resulting in poor data mobility, which not only leads to a serious waste of storage space and performance resources, but also difficult to unify data disaster recovery programs.

Open source products are difficult to maintain and cannot achieve enterprise-level production.

Cloud platforms based on open source virtualization technology, such as OpenStack, provide many customers with the ability to quickly build private cloud infrastructure, but the storage part is different. although open source storage systems such as Ceph can be deployed and tried on a small scale, they will encounter many problems in large-scale commercial use: they are not ecologically integrated with hardware and enterprise applications, and rely heavily on manual development, operation and maintenance. Can not meet the needs of the core business in terms of performance and quality of service

Shanyan private cloud storage solution

Shanyan private cloud storage solution makes full use of the cloud adaptation and openness of Shanyan unified storage platform (USP), supports a variety of complex application loads, and flexibly supports private cloud virtualization platforms, such as VMware, Citrix, OpenStack and other virtualization and cloud platforms, as well as all container cloud platforms that have passed Kubernetes software consistency certification, such as Rancher, Openshift, Kubernetes, etc.

Through Shanyan unified storage platform, users can quickly build a unified storage resource pool that is compatible with all mainstream virtualization platforms and container micro-service platforms. In the face of a variety of virtual machines and micro-service requirements, pooled storage platform provides reliable storage infrastructure support for large-scale cloud environment, helping users liberate from the complicated infrastructure operation and maintenance work, and pay more attention to the business running on private cloud.
