U-raid storage software

U-RAID STORAGE SOFTWARE is built for creating universal high-performance storage systems using standard hardware components. Software is capable of working in environments with high demands on performance, fault tolerance and continuity of operation due to the use of parallel computing and unique mathematical algorithms of proprietary design

U-raid is reliable:

U-RAID STORAGE SOFTWARE supports single-controller (one node) and dual -controller mode of operation of the system, in which both nodes are active, work simultaneously and have access to a single set of disks. Nodes are hardware-independent components of the storage system that have their own processors, cache memory, and motherboard and can be combined into a cluster.

U-RAID STORAGE SOFTWARE allows to work with RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 7.3, N+M, 10, 50, 60, 70 on NVMe, SAS, SATA (NL-SAS) disks.

U-RAID STORAGE SOFTWARE has the ability to perform reconstruction of RAID 6, RAID 7.3 arrays, which is performed 6 times faster compared to similar storage systems of the same class without reducing performance. Reconstruction takes place in the background when replacing disks, with virtually no impact on processing the workload.

U-RAID STORAGE SOFTWARE uses a unique algorithm that allows to detect and correct hidden errors during normal disk operations without losing performance using RAID metadata. STORAGE SOFTWARE scans and fixes hidden errors in the background during periods of low storage activity

U-raid is fast:

U-RAID STORAGE SOFTWARE provides efficient cache segment eviction algorithms: Cycle, optimized for the "random write" load type, and LRU, optimal for the "sequential write" load

U-RAID STORAGE SOFTWARE implements the Automatic Write Through feature for sequential writes. Using the automatic end-to-end recording option can improve performance for mixed-type workloads if synchronization is a bottleneck. The system automatically selects a write policy based on the information received from the sequence detector. To record a random pattern, the deferred writing mechanism is used, that is, data is sent to the cache. For sequential writes , the end-to-end write mechanism is used, i.e. data is written directly to disks. The user can enable and disable the end-to-end recording mechanism manually. U-RAID STORAGE SOFTWARE uses a unique algorithm that allows to detect and correct hidden errors during normal disk operations without losing performance.

U-RAID STORAGE SOFTWARE provides monitoring options for analyzing system status, performance indicators, and using the command-line interface. System monitoring provides information from the controller's sensors and the bucket, system performance graphs, and information about errors in the notification history.

U-RAID STORAGE SOFTWARE has the ability to measure real-world storage performance parameters using the performance monitoring module, which allows to plan configuration, calculate and improve performance both inside the storage system and on the data transfer path.

U-RAID STORAGE SOFTWARE has the ability to scan the disks included in the array for read or write operations to evaluate the performance of the array. The scan results show the number of read/write commands executed by the system during the specified time interval.

Analyzing the results allows to identify disks with the lowest performance.

U-raid is universal:

STORAGE SOFTWARE provides the ability to work with file Network Attached Storage NAS protocols SMB/ CIFS, NFS, FTP, AFP as well as block/SAN protocols of FC, IB, FC-NVMe, iSCSI, iSER, FCoE, NVMe-oF

WORM (Write once read many) parameter of SMB shared folders for archiving purposes, which allows to prevent modification of the recorded file after its creation for a long period of time

ext4 or XFS support

Quota support:

WORM (Write once read many) parameter of SMB shared folders for archiving purposes, which allows to prevent modification of the recorded file after its creation for a long period of time

LDAP integration, allowing LDAP users to work with NFS shared folders and configure different file and directory permissions for them

U-RAID is simple

U-RAID STORAGE SOFTWARE offers the simplest system update mechanism from the web interface.

Web interface support configuration wizards that help to execute basic operations quickly.

Events/notifications of various events within the system can be sent via the SNMP and SMTP protocols. Messages are divided according to the degree of criticality: Information, Warnings, and Errors.
