ITGLOBAL.COM DMCC is the official distributor of ITPOD innovative hardware products: servers and storage systems. In this article, we will explore ITPOD storage systems.   ITPOD offers advanced storage systems specifically designed for integration with converged IT infrastructures. These solutions are ideal for a wide range of tasks, ranging from cloud computing to complex machine learning processes. ITPOD storage systems have high efficiency and maximum performance, which ensures fast data access and processing under any workloads. Advantages of ITPOD Storage: Effective solution of any problems in the shortest possible time due to hardware and software Integrated data protection functions and full redundancy of all active components Round-the-clock technical support Work with data at super speeds due to high-performance storage controllers and high-speed NVMe SSD drives End-to-End NVMe approach that improves computing system performance ITPOD Storage is a high-performance and reliable data storage solution that is characterized by ease of maintenance and compatibility with any modern IT infrastructure. The ITPOD Storage Full Flash line ITPOD Storage Full Flash series storage systems are designed to solve complex tasks, providing high performance and minimal delays when working with large amounts of data. These systems use reliable and fast NVMe SSD drives, which allows them to effectively cope with high loads and ensure stable operation in conditions of intensive use.

These systems combine hard drives (HDD) and solid-state drives (SSD), which allows you to optimize access to hot data, as well as efficiently store data on fast disks. Using an SSD significantly increases performance and reduces response time when working with RAM. Due to the synergy of HDD and SSD, hybrid ITPOD systems provide cost-effectiveness, reliability and a high level of information availability. The ITPOD Storage Hybrid will be the ideal solution for companies looking to increase operational efficiency and improve overall storage performance.

Each entry in the RAID-Z array represents a complete segment, which significantly increases the reliability of data storage. This system uses a diagonal checksum distribution, which ensures data protection and the ability to recover information in the event of a failure of one or more disks. This technology allows you to quickly recover both entire disks and individual data blocks. If a checksum mismatch is detected, a logical error is instantly detected and corrected. Thanks to caching and optimization of data access, RAID-Z demonstrates high performance both when reading and writing information. Thin Provisioning — optimizing the operation and extending the service life of SSD drives Unlike traditional hard drives, SSD drives store data in flash memory cells organized into pages. Writing to an SSD is very fast as long as there are free pages, but it slows down significantly when previously recorded pages need to be cleaned. TRIM technology is designed to reduce the impact of garbage collection on write performance, which allows you to optimize the operation of drives and extend their service life. Snapshots — no impact on performance and volume-independent volumes Snapshots protect the data on the volume and provide access to the saved information in ReadOnly mode, which guarantees the safety and prevents accidental damage or deletion of the original data. Creating and deleting Snapshots does not affect the overall performance of the system, which ensures the continuous operation of applications and services. They allow you to quickly roll back the volume to its previous state, which speeds up the recovery process in case of failures or errors. Inline Compression — saves space and reduces the number of write operations Inline-Compression reduces the amount of data stored, which reduces the space occupied and reduces the load on the disk system. This technology protects data from loss or corruption, and in the event of a failure, compressed data can be quickly recovered, as it takes up less space and requires fewer resources to recover. The compression ratio may vary depending on the type of data and the algorithms used, but it usually ranges from 2:1 to 4:1. Inline-Deduplication — optimization of data storage and reduction of its volume Deduplication is performed during the process of writing data to disk, which eliminates duplication of information and immediately frees up space. Depending on the volume and nature of the data being recorded, Inline-Deduplication technology can achieve a deduplication ratio of up to 3:1. This significantly increases space efficiency and improves overall system performance. TRIM support (Deallocate) — optimizing the operation and extending the service life of SSD drives Unlike traditional hard drives, SSD drives use flash memory cells organized into pages. Writing data to an SSD is fast while there are free pages, but slows down when it is necessary to clear previously recorded ones. TRIM technology minimizes the impact of garbage collection on write performance. TRIM is an ATA interface command, and in NVMe protocols, a similar command is Deallocate, which allows the operating system to notify the drive of unused data blocks that can be released. Thus, TRIM is a modern technology that improves SSD performance, providing high performance and long service life. It automatically frees up unused space, preventing a decrease in operating speed and increasing the reliability of the device. QoS — workload control and priority allocation With the help of QoS, storage administrators can manage the prioritization of access to storage system resources, providing the necessary level of service for users and applications, preventing unplanned overloads and protecting key services from degradation. Enterprise Support — a comprehensive approach to solving any problem The comprehensive ITPOD solution guarantees stable and uninterrupted business operation. Why choose ITPOD Storage?
