Citrix Compatibility

Huawei S5600 is verified to be compatible with:

Huawei S5000 series is a end-to-end fiber channel network storage system.

High Performance

• 64-bit multi-core architecture: 64-bit multi-core processor, 64-bit dual-channel memory, 64-bit 10-GB/s system bus, and 64-bit real-time operating system.
• Supports high-performance solid-state drives
• Application-oriented patented algorithm: Optimizes I/O performance by dynamically adjusting hard disk drives (HDDs) read/write according to the read/write modes of hosts.
• Dual-controller dynamic load balancing: The two controllers provide mutual back up through concurrent service processing and dynamic load balancing. Cache mirroring between the two controllers is achieved by dynamically load-balanced, dedicated dual channels.

High Reliability

• Integrated UPS: Adopts the UPS power-off protection technology used in high-end storage systems. Accidental powers-offs cause the built-in UPS to write the cached data to the data coffer to ensure data security.
• Pre-fault data replication: Detects HDD faults in real time and migrates data before the whole RAID array fails to prevent data loss.
• Bad track repairs: Lowers the HDD failure rate by over 50% and prolongs HDD service life by repairing bad tracks.
• Global hot spare disks: Freely located hot spare disks provide hot backups for disk enclosure units.
• Advanced data protection technology: Snapshot technology identically copies and then can instantly restores online data. Multiple copies are taken at different times to provide continuous data protection. Inter-storage platform volume copy technology protects data among heterogeneous storage systems, while remote mirroring provides disaster recovery by mirrorbing data in remote locations.

Lowers Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)

• Modular design of interfaces: Provides interface modules for both FC and iSCSI hosts to accommodate hybrid IP SAN and FC SAN networking; supports up to 16 host interfaces, thus saving the cost of purchasing and maintaining switches.
• 24-HDD high-density design: A 1-U space can hold 6 HDDs. By connecting a disk enclosure unit, 24 HDDs can be added to the storage system. Expansion costs are cut by 60% compared with traditional solutions.
• Hierarchical storage: Supports hierarchical data storage on SSD, FC and SATA HDDs. Delivers high performance at low cost.
• User-friendly management and maintenance: Supports storage system management through Web-based GUI and programmable CLI; provides various alarm methods (for example, sound, light, SMS, and emails). These designs greatly reduce TCO and O&M costs.

Low Power Consumption

• HDD power saving: The HDDs hibernate or slow according to service loads, which lowers overall power consumption by 40%.
• High-speed wind tunnel: Doubles heat dissipation efficiency by precisely emulating hydromechanics’ principles to optimize wind tunnel size and the opening position.
• Intelligent fan speed control: Lowers power consumption (note: fans use 15% of total system power), reduces noise, and broadens application scenarios.
