Distributed Storage

• The distributed technology creates a large-scale storage

resource pool that provides services for upper-layer
applications and clients through standard service interfaces.
• Supports large-scale expansion and elastic EC data
redundancy protection, improving disk space utilization.
• One storage system supports block, file, HDFS, and object
storage services.
• The solution with separated storage and computing
resources ensures stable latency and fast response to
mission-critical services.

Note: Huawei OceanStor 100D is used as an example in the figure.
