This document is no longer maintained as of 2024

The Huawei OceanStor Dorado V6 all flash storage family consists of the 3000, 5000, 6000, 8000, and 18000. The OceanStor Dorado line is similar to the Huawei OceanStor storage systems, with the Dorado designation signaling all flash systems. The V6 systems are the newest generation of Dorado systems, bringing performance increases and significant technology updates to the previous V3 systems.

The Dorado systems are targeted at accelerating applications such as databases, virtual desktop, and server virtualization. The Dorado (officially OceanStor Dorado) line uses Huawei SSDs attached by 12 Gb/s SAS or by PCIe using the NVMe protocol.
Dorado models feature a modular architecture with 2U or 4U controller enclosures, depending on the model, and additional device enclosures for either SAS or NVMe SSDs. For NVMe devices, Huawei uses a custom physical form to allow more SSDs compared to a standard 2.5” SAS SSDs.

In addition to custom designed SSDs, Huawei has implemented a full set of custom chips in the OceanStor Dorado V6 models. V6 models utilize a total of five specialized chips that serve a variety of purposes.

The Huawei Dorado all flash systems compete other all flash block storage systems including EMC Unity all flash models, IBM FlashSystem, NetApp All Flash FAS, HPE Primera, PureStorage FlashArray and other leading all flash systems.

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.
