分布式统一存储
BOSS-U Distributed Unified Storage System
BOSS-U, independently developed by Xiaoyun Technology, is a software-defined unified storage solution that integrates block, file, and object storage into a single platform. It provides a unified management interface and access protocol, simplifying operational complexity and enhancing efficiency. By combining the strengths of distributed storage technologies, BOSS-U addresses diverse application requirements while ensuring data stability and high availability through intelligent operations and management. It has undergone rigorous testing in production environments across telecommunications, government, healthcare, advanced manufacturing, and education sectors.
Product Features
Advanced Distributed Architecture
Adopts a "distributed storage, centralized management" architecture, unifying massive scalability with operational simplicity.
Software-Defined Design
Fully decouples hardware and software, supporting commodity x86 servers and信创-compliant servers from various vendors.
Multi-Protocol Access
Supports file protocols (NFS, FTP, SMB, HTTP), object protocols (standard S3), and block protocols (iSCSI), enabling unified access to file, object, and block data. Files and objects can be accessed interchangeably (e.g., data written via file protocols can be read via object protocols, and vice versa).
Product Advantages
Reliable & Controllable
Fully自主研发 (indigenous R&D), compliant with信创 standards, and validated in production environments like financial trading systems, government clouds, and medical PACS imaging.
High Performance
Optimizes I/O concurrency via a hybrid programming model combining process pools and event-driven architectures, along with zero-copy buffer management, achieving industry-leading performance for both block and file/object storage.
Balanced Multi-Storage Performance
Ensures uniform performance distribution across block, file, and object workloads in a single storage pool, enabling a cost-effective unified storage platform with no performance bottlenecks.
Flexible Deployment & Scalability
Supports minimal 2-node initial deployment with a dual-controller anti-split-brain design. Scales up to 4,096 nodes with linear performance and capacity growth, meeting evolving business demands.
Heterogeneous Hardware & Multi-CPU Support
Enables heterogeneous hardware pools with mixed server models/specifications, minimizing expansion costs.
Supports multi-CPU architectures (x86 +信创) in a single pool, facilitating smooth migration from x86 to信创 platforms.
Application Scenarios
Virtualization & Cloud Computing
Supports enterprise virtualization platforms (VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, KVM, Huawei FusionSphere) and private clouds (OpenStack, ZStack, EasyStack) with unified, scalable storage pools.
High-Performance Databases
Meets OLTP/OLAP performance and reliability demands, ensuring elastic, contention-free data resource pooling.
Unstructured Data Workloads
Medical PACS: Manages 100+ billion medical images with <5% performance degradation and >300 images/second retrieval.
Financial E-Ticketing: Supports massive document/image processing, archiving, and real-time retrieval.
Industrial Internet: Enables 24/7 data ingestion, real-time search, and rapid scaling for智能制造 systems.
Data Backup & Archiving
Provides multi-protocol (block/file/object) storage for diverse backup solutions, eliminating backup queuing and outperforming traditional storage in government, financial, and medical sectors.
