ZFS and Open-E JovianDSS integrated into the OpenStor JovianDSS Metro Cluster hyperconverged system: how to improve your business.
In the modern business landscape, efficient data management is one of the key pillars for ensuring business continuity and competitiveness. In industries such as media, transportation, finance, government, and healthcare, security and immediate availability of data are essential requirements.
To address these needs, theOpenStor OpenStor JovianDSS Metro Cluster hyperconverged system integrates the advanced capabilities of ZFS and Open-E JovianDSS, providing a complete and reliable enterprise storage solution.
ZFS: the technological heart of OpenStor JovianDSS
ZFS (Zettabyte File System) is one of the world’s most advanced file systems, designed to provide protection, stability and scalability. Created in Sun Microsystems labs, ZFS was designed to provide a secure, high-performance storage platform that can evolve with the needs of modern businesses.
Within the Metro Cluster OpenStor JovianDSS system, ZFS represents the technology base that ensures:
- End-to-end data integrity due to checksum and self-repair mechanism.
- Periodic scrubbing to automatically detect and correct any errors.
- Accelerated resilvering, which reduces data recovery time in the event of a disk failure.
- Copy-on-Write, to ensure that new data are always written in separate areas, preserving the consistency of existing files.
These native features make ZFS a highly resilient file system, perfect for mission-critical environments where data loss or corruption is not an option.
DISCOVER MOREAdvanced ransomware protection with OpenStor JovianDSS
Ransomware attacks are one of the most feared threats to businesses. In 2022, 71% of global companies suffered at least one ransomware attack, with more than 493 million attacks detected globally. Only 57% of affected companies were able to recover their data from backups.
The OpenStor JovianDSS Metro Cluster hyperconverged system addresses this challenge by combining the capabilities of ZFS with the advanced capabilities of Open-E JovianDSS. In particular, it leverages immutable snapshots, which allow critical data to be quickly recovered by restoring the system to a previous state, thereby protecting corporate information from tampering or deletion.
With customizable retention plans, Open-E JovianDSS allows the frequency and duration of snapshots to be precisely defined, providing proactive protection tailored to each business reality.
OpenStor JovianDSS: comprehensive protection with high availability and disaster recovery
The OpenStor Open-E JovianDSS-based OpenStor Metro Cluster hyperconverged system is not only a secure storage, but a complete platform for business continuity, thanks to advanced features such as:
- Scheduled asynchronous replication, for off-site backup and disaster recovery.
- Cluster in high availability (HA), which ensures continuous operation of the system even if one of the nodes fails.
- Horizontal and vertical scalability to handle large amounts of data without degrading performance.
These features make OpenStor JovianDSS the ideal choice for companies that require a reliable, secure and flexible hyperconverged infrastructure.
