Network Attached Storage (NAS)-Features and Data Services
StoneFly SSO NAS storage appliances come pre-configured with StoneFly StoneFusion. Businesses can leverage the
patented and awarded software to setup enterprise-level data services that optimize data storage, enhance storage
utilization rates and simplify data storage for the enterprise.
The following is a list of data services that businesses can configure with StoneFly StoneFusion– Storage
Concentrator Virtual Machine:
Synchronous & Asynchronous Replication – Make Data High Available & Accessible
Configure synchronous replication jobs that create replicas of business data in real-time on on-premises
storage infrastructure, offsite storage media, or in cloud storage repositories. Or setup asynchronous
replication & create replicas by scheduling replication jobs to better suit system compute & network
bandwidth usage.
Leverage StoneFly replication technology in a way that suits your business & make sure business data is always available and accessible.
Future-Proof Data Storage Architecture – Disruption-Free High Scalability
StoneFly NAS storage appliances are flexible & can scale from Terabytes (TBs) to Petabytes (PBs) in storage capacity. The storage appliances offer dual scalability: storage & performance. Increase storage capacity with the addition of expansion units or add both storage & performance by adding more nodes to the system in a disruption-free & “plug and play” process.
Distributed File System (DFS) – Easy & High Data Accessibility & Sharing
With a Distributed File System (DFS) access, process & manage data in different nodes as if it’s stored on your local machine. StoneFly NAS storage appliances leverage DFS to provide users faster data access & easier information & data sharing.
Vendor Independency – Industry Standard File Format & Protocol Support
StoneFly NAS storage appliances are compatible with industry standard operating systems (Linux &
Microsoft Windows) & support standard file protocols like CIFs & NFS. StoneFly NAS storage appliances can be configured as backup repositories or storage repositories for different database servers – businesses don’t have to worry about compatibility issues.
Don’t make decisions that lead to a vendor lock-in. Leverage StoneFly NAS storage appliances & enjoy
enterprise-level data storage with vendor independency.
Fast & Secure Front-end Cloud Cache with StoneFly Flash Cache™
Enhance the speed of your hybrid storage solution by configuring built-in Flash Cache in StoneFly NAS
storage appliances as a front-end cloud cache. The cache reduces the time needed to access frequently used data in the cloud; complimenting processing & enhancing overall productivity.
Auto Re-balance for Distributed Volumes – Automated Data Storage Management
StoneFly NAS storage appliances utilize automated re-balance to distribute data between volumes. This implies that when additional storage capacity is added, the auto re-balance feature automatically
distributes the data volumes so that the appliance can make the most of the average compute capacity.
This reduces storage management workload & simplified data storage management – making the
process easier & convenient for system administrators.
Create Dispersed Volumes with Erasure Coding – Additional Data Redundancy & Scalability
With erasure coding, businesses can leverage StoneFly NAS storage appliances to create dispersed volumes & distribute them in different segments. Users can also define policies prioritizing mission-critical data segments. Choose from data redundancy levels of 1 to 5 with erasure coding in StoneFly NAS storage appliances & ensure high availability & business continuity for your business data.
Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX) – No Compatibility Issues
StoneFly Azure cloud storage solution enables businesses to create 6 geo-redundant copies with 3 copies within a region. This data redundancy makes sure that data is always available & businesses continue to operate with minimum or no disruption.
Snapshots – Protect Business Data from Data Loss, Data Corruption, Ransomware & Other Threats
Create Image-based snapshots of your storage infrastructure & store them in on-premises infrastructure, offsite storage systems or in the cloud. With StoneFly snapshots, users can revert back to a specific “state” of their storage infrastructure. This enables businesses to build storage systems that are resistant to data loss, data corruption, malware, cyber-threats, ransomware & other similar threats.
Faster Data Accessibility – No Centralized Database – No Metadata Director
Each StoneFly NAS storage appliance node can handle a read / write request by hashing it to calculate relevant file locations across the storage infrastructure. The lack of a centralized database also facilitates faster data accessibility & high IOPS because it avoids bottlenecks without compromising storage performance.
Encryption – Secure Data from Hackers, Rogue Applications, Data Breaches & Data Leaks
StoneFly NAS storage appliances use TLS/SLL for authentication when data is transmitted over the network, I/O connections are secured using I/O encryption between clients & the NAS, & management connections are secured with management encryption within data volumes. For data at rest, StoneFly NAS offer AES 256-bit encryption technology.
This makes StoneFly SSO NAS storage appliances highly secure & reliable for businesses keen on
ensuring data security for their business data.
Automated Storage Tiering for Easy & Error-Free Data Management
Business can define policies that move data between storage repositories – automating & simplifying data management. This automation compliments storage efficiency & reduces the possibility of human-error. Introduce automation, enhance storage efficiency & simplify data management with automated storage tiering..
Self-Heal – Ensure Data Synchronization & Prevent Data Loss
Self-heal automatically repairs corrupted or damaged data volumes. With self-heal, businesses make sure that previous copied or replicated data is in usable form and data is synced and available.
Automated Data Protection from Data Corruption & Ransomware with Transportable Storage
StoneFly NAS storage appliances are capable of detecting anomalous behavior using built-in data
protection technology. In the event of a detection, the NAS storage appliance disconnects transportable storage disks; protecting data within them.
Businesses can configure replication or mirroring jobs to replicate mission-critical data to these
transportable storage devices so that they’re safe from data corruption, ransomware, rogue applications and other similar threats. Protect what’s important for your business with StoneFly’s intelligent data storage technology.
Distributed Dispersed Volumes – Combination of DFS and Dispersed Volumes
Combine distributed file system with dispersed volumes created by erasure coding for easier scalability, high reliability & improved read performance. The ability to setup distributed dispersed volumes makes StoneFly NAS storage appliances a good fit for IT environments where high reliability is critical.
