TRANSCRIPT
Fibre Channel Target in Open-E JovianDSS
Fibre Channel (FC) uses a high-speed network technology for data storage that has become a common connection type for
SAN enterprise storage. It is especially suited for creating SAN topologies for virtualization, data centers or other demanding
platforms that deal with large amounts of data. Fibre Channel helps users to avoid collisions and congestion and allows
a better saturation of the network connections than other protocols.
A DCS AWARDS2018 WINNERDATA CENTRE ICT STORAGE PRODUCT OF THE YEAR
The ZFS- and Linux-based Open-E JovianDSS is a data storage software designed especially for enterprise-sized storage
environments. It includes support for the Fibre Channel technology as an initiator which allows users to connect external
Fibre Channel devices, and as a target, which in turn allows users to serve virtual volumes via the Fibre Channel protocol.
With its unique features, the product ensures highest data reliability and integrity, and addresses the needs of Enterprise
users seeking a SAN solution with thin provisioning, compression and deduplication.
Benefits of the Fibre Channel technology with Open-E JovianDSS software:
Enables creating high performance SAN storage systems with high throughput and low latency
Supports multiple client protocols simultaneously as unified storage
Offers very high storage capacity of up to hundreds of petabytes
Provides excellent scalability
Reduces downtime and ensures Business Continuity through High Availability and the On-and Off-site Data Protection
Offers easy configuration and maintenance of the whole storage especially in High Availability environments
Very high stability, reliability and data safety
Open-E JovianDSS with Fibre Channel supports many kinds of topologies.

On- & Off-site Data ProtectionThe On- & Off-site Data Protection in Open-E JovianDSS is a feature for data Backup and Disaster Recovery with the possibility to instantly restore a company’s crucial data in case of an unexpected disaster. The feature uses consistent Snapshots for any kind of data and asynchronous replication to
local or remote destinations, where the rotational Snapshots are stored accor-ding to a retention-interval plan that can be customized to specific user needs. Open-E JovianDSS with On- and Off-site Data Protection does not require any backup agent.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 1. Why should I use Open-E JovianDSS with Fibre Channel?
Open-E JovianDSS with Fibre Channel offers a straightforward, stable and high-speed solution due to the plain structure of the
protocol. Additionally, dedicated wizards in Open-E JovianDSS help you to configure the system, while the WebGUI is designed to be
used with as few clicks as possible.
2. For whom has the Fibre Channel Target Feature been created?
The ZFS-based Open-E JovianDSS with FC Target is a perfect fit for Enterprises or SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises).
3. Can Fibre Channel Target in an Open-E JovianDSS server appliance be used as storage for virtualization with ESXi?
Yes. This solution is a perfect option when it comes to virtualization. A Fibre Channel Target set up with Open-E JovianDSS and used
as storage for ESXi is an excellent solution due to Fibre Channel’s low latency, which is of extreme importance for virtual machines
to work properly and efficiently.
4. Does Open-E JovianDSS Fibre Channel Target implementation require specific hardware?
Solutions with Open-E JovianDSS and a Fibre Channel Target require Fibre Channel HBAs (Host Bus Adapters). The solution sup-
ports Qlogic FC HBAs up to 32Gbps.
5. Is this solution cost-effective?
Yes. Fibre Channel solutions require higher investment cost. However, the high quality of the solution compensates users for the
price. Additionally, you can easily expand your storage space as your data grows with Open-E’s storage capacity licensing model.
