Data protection

The StorONE storage engine includes a suite of features that ensure rock-solid data resilience. It provides the highest level of data integrity, protection, and recovery from hardware failures.

Specifications	Details
High Availability	High-availability (HA) two-node storage cluster. If one node server is down, all data can be accessed through the other server. Active/Active split: Provides better performance by balancing the work load between the two servers. Supports all storage network protocols.
DirectWrite	The architecture uses DirectWrite without using cache, such as NVDIM, MRAM, or NVRAM. Superior data integrity: All writing goes to persistent media. Lowers overall storage server cost. You can mix types of storage media and use white-box or virtual servers. Simplified HA design.
vRAID	StorONE vRAID technology is a complete rewrite of the erasure coding algorithm, providing all the benefits of erasure coding without impacting performance. The number of redundant drives per volume can vary from 1 to 16. Fastest drive recovery in the industry, recovering 20TB drives in less than 3 hours.
Snapshots	Snapshots can be taken an unlimited number of times, as long as there is enough storage space available. Snapshots can be easily restored. All snapshots are immutable. Snapshots can be mounted. It is also possible to make a copy of the snapshot and mount it for writing. vSnap technology automatically moves old snapshots to lower tiers, saving storage resources without impacting performance.
Secure	Supports volume-based encryption. Supports drive encryption, such as self-encrypted drive (SED). Supports two-factor authentication. Snapshots are immutable and cannot be tampered with.
Replication	Each logical volume can have its own data replication configuration. Each volume can be replicated to a different destination. Supported replication strategies: Synchronous, Asynchronous, Semi-Synchronous.
