Backup and Disaster Recovery

Create local and remote backup plans to protect your data in the event of a disaster. Allow for easy restore with snapshots and on-site/off-site replication.

On- & Off-site Data Protection features allows users to back up and restore crucial company data in case of an unexpected disaster through a combination of several technologies.

• Consistent backups, which protect from data loss
• Fully integrated and blazing-fast data recovery
• Zero backup agents needed
• Low RPO and RTO minimises data loss and recovery time
• Massively customisable individual requirements

Business Continuity

Broadberry high availability systems deliver fast performance, high availability, reliability, efficiency and redundancy through eliminating single points of failure and minimising downtime periods.

Broadberry CyberStore ZFS appliances feature a multitude of options when it comes to architecting High Availability environments with iSCSI, Fibre Channel and NFS, SMB (CIFS) client protocols. These options enable you to set up High Availability Load-Balanced Storage Clusters which ensure redundancy and reliability through failover.

• Frequent Snapshots
• Self-Healing
• High Availability
• Eliminates single points of failure.
• Disaster Protection

Powered By Intel Xeon Scalable Processors

Broadberry ZFS Storage Servers are powered by Intel Xeon Scalable processors, enabling enhanced efficiency and lowered TCO. This innovative processor delivers a new standard of platform convergence and capabilities across compute, memory, security, storage and network.

Optimised Performance

Intel Xeon Scalable processors feature breakthrough performance and delivers the memory and I/O capacity needed to significantly reduce performance bottlenecks.

Applications can be accelerated via the addition of Intel QAT (Quick Assist Technology) to a software-defined infrastructure environment. Intel QAT offers noteworthy increases in the performance and efficiency of standard platform solutions.

Security

Broadberry ZFS Appliances powered by Intel Xeon Scalable processors features security without compromise, incorporating a number of technologies that help in the protection of your system.

Intel Quick Assist Technology delivers a software-enabled base for security and authentication. Intel Key Protection Technology is found within Intel Xeon Scalable processors, enabled via Intel QAT. Intel KPT is on hand to help with secure private key management.

Excelling in even the most demanding data storage environments, the biggest benefit of Intel Optane is the use of 3D XPoint technology over traditional NAND for read and write operations, where it addresses individual cells rather than whole blocks.

The robust, reliable and resilient nature of Intel Optane drives make them a perfect option as a cache device to completement the advanced caching facilities of the Broadberry CyberStore ZFS range.

How the CyberStore ZFS Range processes Cache:

• First Read Cache level in RAM (ARC - Adaptive Replacement Cache).
• Second Read Cache level on fast memory device (eg. SSD) (L2ARC Level 2 Adaptive Replacement Cache)
• Write Log - ZFS Intent Log (ZIL) located on separated fast memory device (SLOG)

High and Stable Write IOPS

Its well known that cache functionality requires ultra-fast random IOPS devices. Where as NAND SSD's' intially work fast but slow down over time, Intel Optane SSD's provide blazing performance at every IOPS level, and crucially never slow down.

Low and Stable Latency

Latency is extremely important when writing large amounts of small files, especially in database, virtualisation and online transaction processing. Where as latency of NAND SSDs increases over time, latency of Intel® Optane SSDs are significantly lower, and stay low.

High Quality of service (QoS)

Due to significant simplification and thus shortening of write operation, the Intel® Optane disk offers significantly lower and stable latency - resulting in improving the QoS factor since more write operations are handled in a lower and narrower latency time period.

Cost-effective RAM cache replacement

As a read cache, Intel® Optane drives significantly lower server costs since when used as a replacement of ECC RAM. In certain configurations, large amounts of ECC RAM (used for ARC) can be replaced with small amounts of ECC RAM together with Intel® Optane (used for L2ARC) giving huge cost savings while only marginally decreasing speed.
