Software

OneFS 9.11.0.0 or later. Upgrades are non-disruptive
PowerScale OneFS distributed file system creates a cluster with a single file system and single global namespace. It is fully journaled, fully distributed, and has a globally coherent write/read cache.

Data Optimization

Efficiency
SmartDedupe data deduplication option, which can reduce storage requirements by up to 35 percent. Inline data reduction and compression.
2:1 DRR guarantee

Network protocol support
NFSv3, NFSv4, NFSoRDMA, NFS Kerberized sessions (UDP or TCP), SMB1 (CIFS), SMB2, SMB3, SMB3-CA, Multichannel, HTTP, FTP, NDMP, SNMP, LDAP, HDFS, S3, ADS, NIS reads/writes.

Automated storage tiering
Policy-based automated tiering options including SmartPools and CloudPools software to optimize storage resources and lower costs.

Data retention
SmartLock policy-based retention and protection against accidental deletion.

Data replication
SyncIQ fast and flexible one-to-many file-based asynchronous replication between clusters. SmartSync provides efficient file to file and file to object data movement.

Data Protection

FlexProtect file-level striping with support for N+1 through N+4 and mirroring data protection schemes.
File system audit capability and STIG hardening to improve security and control of your storage infrastructure and address regulatory compliance requirements, with our Cyber Protection Suite.
