Thank you for your reply.

My understanding, HP SL4540 is a quite expensive and big hardware.

What is a spec required for HP SL4540 when installing ECS2.2?

Great question! ECS v2.2 features a built in native NFS file head. ECS users can now store file data on a globally distributed object infrastructure eliminating the need for cloud gateways and breaking down dedicated storage silos for varied workloads.

How it works - the NFS file handle is mapped to an object ID and since the file is mapped to an object, ECS NFS has features similar to the object data services which we provide.  The NFS feature which also include quota management, retention and encryption at the object level.

ECS Global File Features:

  • Rich ACLs - support for access control lists.  Rich ACLS provides support for extended attributes instead of POSIX ACLS.
  • Global Namespace - enables access the file from any node at any site (with a load balancer).
  • Global Locking - enables the ability to lock files from any node at any site (shared and exclusive locks, range based locks, and mandatory locks).
  • Multi-protocol Access - enables users to access data created by object (S3 and Swift), HDFS, and NFS.
