Huawei OceanStor 18000 – Product Brief

Overview

The Huawei OceanStor 18000 storage system is a high-end system with extensive features and capabilities supporting block and file access.  There are two hybrid systems (18500/18800) and the same all-flash models called OceanStor Dorado systems.  Huawei has delivered a succession of storage systems in the high-end, mid-range and entry levels. The system is a scale-out architecture with up to sixteen controllers that are interconnected by PCIe switches.  Storage devices in enclosures are connected with 12 Gb/s SAS.  SSDs and HDDs are supported in any combination.

Connectivity for block access is through Fibre Channel, iSCSI, InfiniBand, and FCoE.  Third party storage can be virtualized behind the OceanStor system allowing centralized management of storage resources and migration of volumes for load balancing, retiring external storage systems, and conversion from thickly provisioned volumes to thin.

Advanced features of the OceanStor system include virtualization, data migration, cache partitioning, quality of service controls, dynamic tiering, and caching with SSDs.  Snapshots, asynchronous and synchronous remote replication, LUN copies, and consistency groups are also included.

File access is supported with an integrated NAS software and use of 10 Gb/s Ethernet.

Welcome

The vision behind everything in Futurum’s Custom Research practice is this: research should show you what is happening, what comes next, and what to do about it. It should be personal to each audience, easy for people to grasp, and structured so LLMs can reason over it accurately. And it should be fast and turnkey; you want answers now, not another project to carry for quarters.

Whether you are defining business, channel, or go-to-market strategy; evaluating vendors or justifying ROI; or commissioning research to fill an emerging market need, we have your back, with a program that answers your questions with the objectivity and credibility to drive real decisions.

To do it, we bring unmatched data to bear: Futurum research, surveys, and market projections; validated market feeds; ETR’s 15 years of insight from 10,000 technology decision-makers; G2’s buyer and user data; and what our analysts hear every day. Add leading primary collection, from AI-moderated voice interviews to surveys and analyst-led interviews, all turnkey, and every project comes out credible, nuanced, and actionable.

And we don’t just drop the results in your lap. For internal work, we provide analyst-led sessions, interactive dashboards, and a range of formats. For market-facing work, Futurum delivers turnkey activation and amplification that actually gets seen, by people and by LLMs, through our media and share of voice. This is research that moves decisions and markets.

We will meet you wherever you are, from a fast-turn brief to a multi-year program, and shape the work to your goals, timeline, and budget. The right program for your moment.

If any of this is useful, I would love to talk.
