This document is no longer maintained as of 2024

The Huawei OceanStor 18000 is a family of scale-out storage systems targeted at high-end enterprises with a common architecture, physical packaging, and embedded software. The OceanStor line has models that differ in hardware configuration and in the number of controllers supported and has additional offerings that target the high-end and entry-level segments. There is also an all solid-state system, which is covered in separate ESR documents. All models utilize modular architecture, standard racks and enclosures and support 2.5” SFF and 3.5” LFF device enclosures. The OceanStor 18000 systems support block access.

All models run the same base embedded software system and support additional add-on software features. The Huawei OceanStor high-end systems compete against EMC VMAX³, NetApp FAS, IBM DS8000, Hitachi VSP G1000, and HP 3PAR StoreServ 10000 systems.

The Huawei OceanStor high-end systems support block storage access over FC, iSCSI, and FCoE. In the scale-out configuration, up to sixteen controllers are supported with a high speed interconnect using PCIe switches. The controllers are housed with two controllers in a 4U enclosure. 2U device enclosures support twelve 3.5” form factor devices or twenty-five 2.5” form factor devices. A high-density device enclosure houses 75 devices in a 4U form factor.

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.
