OceanspaceTM S5000 Series

Huawei Symantec OceanspaceTM S5000 series is the first end-to-end

FC-based storage product with independent intellectual property rights in
China and dedicated to mid-range and high-end storage markets. The
outstanding features such as high density, FC and iSCSI connectivity,
modular interfaces, and multi-level data protection mechanism enable the
S5000 series to meet the requirements of large databases, high performance
computing, online transaction processing (OLTP), centralized storage, data
backup, disaster recovery, and data migration, and ensure customers' data

OceanspaceTM S5000 integrity and business continuity.

Product Features
High Performance

64-bit multi-core architecture: The S5000
series delivers enhanced processing capability
with 64-bit multi-core processors, 64-bit
dual-channel memories, 64-bit 10 GB/s system
buses, and 64-bit real-time operating systems.

Solid state drives (SSDs): Brings higher
storage performance to the S5000 series.

Application-oriented patented algorithm:
The read/write mode of hard disks is
dynamically adjusted according to the
read/write mode of the host to achieve the best
I/O performance.

Dynamic load balancing: The dual controllers
of the S5000 series process services
concurrently and serve as hot backup for each
other. The cache mirroring between the dual
controllers employs two dedicated channels and
the load on both channels are dynamically
balanced.
High Reliability

Built-in UPS: The power failure protection
through the built-in UPS, which was employed
on high-end storage devices only, ensures that
data in the cache is written to the coffer in the
case of a power failure, thus ensuring data
integrity.

Pre-copy technology: Faulty disks are detected
in advance and data on the faulty disks is
migrated to normal disks to avoid the risk of
data loss.

Bad sector repair: Bad sectors on disks can be
repaired to the maximum, lowering the disk
failure rate by more than 50% and prolonging
the service life of the disks.

Global hot spare disk: The global hot spare
disks serve as hot backup for disks within the
same enclosure or across enclosures, and the
slots for the hot spare disks are flexible.

Advanced data protection technologies:
HyperImage generates real-time copies of
online data so that data can be restored from the
snapshots instantly. HyperImage can also create
multiple point-in-time snapshots to provide
continuous data protection.
HyperCopy, an across-platform volume copy
technology, realizes data protection among
heterogeneous storage devices.
HyperMirror implements remote disaster
recovery for data.
Low TCO

Modular interfaces: Combination of FC and
iSCSI host interfaces ensures connectivity to
the FC SAN and IP SAN mixed networking.
Up to 16 host ports are provided to decrease the
purchase and maintenance costs of switches.

High disk density: A 1U space can house six
disks. An expansion disk enclosure can add 24
disks to the system, lowering the expansion
cost by 60%.

Hierarchical storage: The S5000 series
supports hierarchical storage of data on SSDs,
FC and SATA disks, delivering higher
performance at a lower cost.

User-friendly management and maintenance
designs: Web-based GUI and programmable
CLI facilitate the management. Alarms in
various forms, such as SMS, email, sound, and
light, reduce customers' operation and
maintenance costs.
Low Power Consumption

Energy-saving hard disks: Hard disks
automatically spin down when the service load
decreases, lowering power consumption by
more than 40%.

High-speed air cooling: The air cooling
efficiency doubles with the size and position of
the air duct optimized according to
hydromechanics principles.

Intelligent fan control: Enables the fans to
consume less power (about 15% of the system
power consumption) and generate less noise,
enhancing the environment adaptability of the
S5000 series.
