Huawei OceanStor Dorado V3

Huawei’s OceanStor Dorado V3 is the only all-flash array that features flash-oriented storage OS, chips, and Solid State Drive (SSD) end-to-end in-depth optimization. It provides 4 million IOPS (Input/ Output Operations Per Second) while maintaining outstanding performance (with a 500us steady delay) and flash efficiency, capable of meeting the demand for processing overloaded services. To address the high-reliability requirements for enterprise storage, OceanStor Dorado V3 adopts the patented flash reliability assurance technology of Huawei to extend the flash life threefold, while providing a gateway-free HyperMetro active-active solution to ensure high availability of services.

In addition to ensuring high performance, OceanStor Dorado V3 perfectly embodies the high efficiency of the cloud era. Its inline deduplication compression technology can increase the storage space usage rate by more than five times and reduce overall total cost of ownership (TCO) by more than 70%.
