We use Huawei OceanStor Dorado for our stack. Dorado storage administration facilitates tasks such as deploying and automating migrations and applications, securing snapshots, and utilizing hyper CDP properties. It also provides line support from Broadband SN to back up data from storage tools. Additionally, we use it for domains like EMC and Partridge Systems.
Huawei includes features for file servers and file services. It offers ransomware protection for files stored on servers. However, it does not support blocking websites.
Data processing is the most important feature.
We are using Huawei OceanStor Dorado, which employs SSD storage on the hardware side. No reported performance issues or improvements are required for our systems because all of the systems run on memory on the host side. The Oracle data and Oracle virtual machines also operate from memory. Additionally, we use Oracle for patching systems, with all data residing in memory. There is some latency during backup times, typically at night, but this is acceptable for us. These latencies occur outside of office hours, so they do not impact our operations during normal times when there is no noticeable latency.
Huawei should provide new security features, such as blocking ransomware sites and improving detection. Currently, we receive updates from HQ in China; there are instances where hackers may infiltrate network sites and encrypt our data. However, the system lacks a feature to block these sites or secure the data.
I have been using Huawei OceanStor Dorado for one year.
Every day, we are getting support.
The initial setup is straightforward and takes one month to complete.
The solution's pricing is average.
We have three systems on Dorado for different authentication types. For example, there are five thousand available systems for file types. Additionally, Oracle storage machines support another five thousand systems for this application. Furthermore, networking, logging, QRadash, IBM QRadash, and other data applications are supported on roughly three thousand systems. There is no need to scale up for performance, which is acceptable for us now. However, it may be required in the future, but there are no requests for it.
Smart migration means, for example, old storage to new storage data migrations. Huawei has an integrated source for Dorado storage. For instance, if there is a one terabyte load, it needs to be migrated to Dorado using Smart Migration. The Smart Migration tool runs perfectly for migration tasks. Migration services are perfectly usable on Huawei or other platforms.
Smart Migration, developed by Huawei, is an exceptional feature. This software facilitates data migrations efficiently, even when dealing with large volumes of data, such as terabytes. Smart Migration reduces the time and effort required to migrate data from old storage systems to new ones, making it a highly valuable tool for managing extensive data migrations.
Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.
