Oceanspace N8000

Huawei Symantec Oceanspace N8000 series is a unified storage

Oceanspace N8300
platform (NAS, FC SAN, and IP SAN) designed for mid-range and high-
end storage applications. The N8000 offers advanced architecture,
superior reliability, high-peformance, easy management and scalability
up to 15 petabytes (PBs) of storage capacity. The N8000 meets the
requirements of high performance computing, databases, websites,
file services, streaming media, video surveillance, and file backup.
As an industry-leading clustered NAS storage system, the N8000 is
widely deployed across industries such as manufacturing, government,
enterprise, education, telecom, broadcast & television, and Internet
Service Provider (ISP).

■■ Up to 15 PB capacity Ethernet and FC interfaces.

Excellent Performance Easy Management

■■ Support of Linux and UNIX computing cluster enables near-linear
performance.
■■ A single file system simplifies management of storage units to
perform frequent I/Os requirements.Provides the flexibility to
balance between the physical resources (CPU, cache, network
bandwidth, and hard disk bandwidth) as the number of storage
nodes grows. The N8000 is suitable for a computing cluster that
has many thousands of nodes and demanding NFS access.
■■ Unified management of NAS engines and storage units
■■ Reduces customers’ management costs with wizard-based ISM
management software and Automatic deployment of newly
added NAS engines
■■ Improve troubleshooting efficiency with fault monitoring and
alarms (such as email, SNMP and Syslog)
■■ Simplify the maintenance, and lower cost of ownership with the
elimination of backup client software on hosts
