KEY BENEFITS & FEATURES

ZFS – the best file system for business data storage IOPStor ZFS, a combined file system and logical volume manager, to support various advanced functions for high-end enterprise storage, including powerful storage expansion, flexible storage pools, simplified management, high-performance SSD cache, nearly limitless snapshots and cloning, data de-duplication, in-line compression and thin provisioning with reclaim for optimized utilization for virtual machine storage. ZFS is designed with a focus on data integrity, and uses its end-to-end checksums to detect and correct silent data corruption caused by hardware defects, bugs in firmware or metadata errors, effectively protecting user’s data. ZFS has no Black Hole theory.	Copy on Write ZFS ensures that data is always consistent on the disk using a number of techniques, including copy-on-write. What this means is that when data is changed it is not overwritten — it is always written to a new block and check summed before pointers to the data are changed. The old data may be retained, creating snapshots of the file system through time as changes are made. File writes using ZFS are transactional — either everything or nothing is written to disk.
Intelligent Compression & De-compression Compression takes advantage of its multi-core CPUs by achieving an impressive compression ratio without impacting disk performance. In addition to fast compression, it can also decompress data quickly. Has virtually no impact to disk access and will only compress data that will net a savings.De-duplication – De-duplication is the process of eliminating duplicate copies of data in order to save space. When de-duplication is enabled, data is scanned and analyzed for potential duplicates before being stored. De-duplication supported by default.	RaidZ & RaidZ2 RAID 5 has a well-known flaw called the RAID 5 write hole. This causes a problem when a data block is written to a stripe but a power failure occurs before the corresponding parity block can be written. As a result, the data and parity for the stripe will be inconsistent. If a disk then fails, the RAID reconstruction process will result in incorrect data. The only way out of this is if an entire stripe happens to be overwritten, thus generating a correct parity block. RAIDZ gets around this problem by using a variable width stripe, so every write is effectively a full stripe write. This, together with ZFS’s copy on write characteristic, eliminates the RAID 5 write hole completely. RAIDZ2 works in a similar way, but can tolerate the loss of two disks in the array using double parity.
Data Snapshots Operations occur instantaneously, and the initial snapshot or clone uses no space. It is only when that data changes that space is used for the original or changed data. This makes snapshots and clones incredibly space-efficient. The replication schedule is completely configurable so the file system changes can move across the network or Internet at convenient intervals. Since snapshot replication only sends across the new or changed data, network traffic is kept to a minimum.	SSD Hybrid Storage Pools High performance SSDs can be added to a storage pool to create a hybrid storage pool. When these are configured as high performance cache disks, ZFS uses them to hold frequently accessed data to improve performance. It also uses a technology called L2 ARC (adaptive replacement cache) to write data that has to be stored immediately. This can slowly be moved over to conventional hard drives for more permanent storage when time and resources allow.
Data Scrubbing FS can be made to scrub all the data in a storage pool, checking each piece of data with its corresponding checksum to verify its integrity, detect any silent data corruption, and to correct any errors in encounters where possible.	SAN & NAS Compliant Flexibility of choice, providing CIFS/SMB, AFP, and NFS for file storage and iSCSI for block storage. Every common operating system, hypervisor, and application is supported.
ZIL & L2ARC ZFS Intent Log, or ZIL- A logging mechanism where all of the data to be the written is stored, then later flushed as a transactional write. Similar in function to a journal for journaled file systems, like ext3 or ext4. Typically stored on platter disk. Consists of a ZIL header, which points to a list of records, ZIL blocks and a ZIL trailer. The ZIL behaves differently for different writes. For writes smaller than 64KB (by default), the ZIL stores the write data. For writes larger, the write is not stored in the ZIL, and the ZIL maintains pointers to the synched data that is stored in the log record. Separate Intent Log, or SLOG- A separate logging device that caches the synchronous parts of the ZIL before flushing them to slower disk. This would either be a battery-backed DRAM drive or a fast SSD. The SLOG only caches synchronous data, and does not cache asynchronous data. Asynchronous data will flush directly to spinning disk. Further, blocks are written a block-at-a-time, rather than as simultaneous transactions to the SLOG. If the SLOG exists, the ZIL will be moved to it rather than residing on platter disk. Everything in the SLOG will always be in system memory.	De-duplication and compression to maximize VDI storage performance There could be over 90% duplicate data from OS images and applications that are spread over virtual desktops. IOPStor supports block-based data de-duplication to optimize storage usage from redundant data. De-duplicated virtual desktops become easier to be cached to achieve optimal virtual desktop performance. In-line data compression helps shrink data size, further optimizing storage usage. For mastering storage in a virtualized environment, IOPStor provides businesses with the most cost-effective remote virtual desktop platform and mission-critical information warehousing.
Data Integrity through Checksums in Metadata The file system uses a 256-bit checksum, which is stored as metadata separate from the data it relates to, when it writes information to disk. Unlike a simple disk block checksum, this can detect phantom writes, misdirected reads and writes, DMA parity errors, driver bugs and accidental overwrites as well as traditional “bit rot.”	Replication Replication is a ZFS mechanism to transfer file systems with all properties like ACL or real Windows SIDs between pools either locally or over the network. Performance is near to physical limits (ex network limits). Replication ensures a near real time solution for a backup storage server
Strong disaster recovery made by nearly limitless snapshots & Replication. IOPStor supports snapshots for iSCSI LUN and shared folders. When executing a remote snapshot backup, it only needs to transfer changed data, and can use de-duplication and compression to significantly reduce the amount of transferred data. IOPStor can provide remote backup Replication for snapshots at the shortest interval	Protection IOPStor provides unrivalled data integrity protection by using the OpenZFS enterprise file system. OpenZFS is a next-generation file system in every regard from its self-healing bit rot mitigation to its flexible snap shotting and replication.
Scalability OpenZFS is a future-proof 128-bit “scale up” file system that is designed for decades of continuous use. IOPStor grows from hundreds of GBs to PB’s per system and is designed to make the increase in capacity painless.	Flexibility IOPStor uses OpenZFS to provide unlimited point-in-time snapshots, allowing you to roll back and access data as it was. IOPStor is a proven way to mitigate virtual machine corruption, user error, and ransom ware attacks like CryptoLocker.

IOPStor delivers performance on Value based systems using spindle drives, Hybrid Pools & All Flash Arrays including NVMe.
IOPStor guarantees data integrity and has redundancy throughout the storage array. It includes instant snapshots and clones with local and remote replication. Get simple and efficient recovery points for VMs and business-critical applications. IOPStor provides unified storage, meaning it is both a NAS and a SAN, which makes it possible to run and manage files and applications on IOPStor, giving you flexibility in your choice of applications. IOPStor simultaneously supports CIFS/SMB, AFP, NFS, and WebDAV for file storage as well as iSCSI and fibre channel for block storage. Every common operating system, hypervisor, and application is supported. Instead of two storage platforms, one for file-based storage and the other block-based storage, IOPstor combines both modes into a single device.

Your users are not one size fits all. They will vary from the casual user to the power user and they may use mobile devices or work from their desk. Most access corporate applications through Windows; however many use Mac OS X, BSD, or Linux. IOPstor’s unified storage will provide all users with a high performance user experience regardless of their desktop infrastructure – physical, stateless, persistent or cloned.

IOPStor integrates with Active Directory & LDAP directory services. It also supports Kerberos Realms and Kerberos Keytabs. This allows simple administration of a user database for system administrators while users get the advantage of single sign-on to many corporate services.

IOPStor gives you flexibility in connecting to a storage network. You can expand your storage network using additional 1GBe, 10GBe, 40 GBe and Fibre Channel interfaces.

IOPStor is storage designed for around-the-clock applications. When data grows, the expansion of IOPStor storage is simple and non-disruptive. IOPStor is Hardware Agnostic. To increase cache, you insert a cache device, and it is available for use. To upgrade any model to high availability, you simply add a second storage controller. If you need to move between models to increase performance, it’s as simple as replacing storage controllers, additional network controllers can be added for more network connectivity. In the event of a drive failure, IOPstor can automatically replace a drive with an available spare. If a power supply or fan fails, an alternate is utilized. With IOPStor, downtime isn’t an option.
