Management Interface
Ambedded Web-based user interface: UniVirStor(UVS) Manager
Command Line Interface
Automation
The UniVirStor Ceph management UI (UVS Manager) automate management functions for day-1 and day 2 operations, including cluster deployment, storage service provisioning, monitoring, and software updates.
Access Authentication Control
Policy control to limit users to access pool & block device
Ability to Integrate with Microsoft Active Directory, lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP), AWS Auth, and KeyStone
Multi-protocol support
A storage platform supports multiple industry-standard storage protocols for block, file and object storage.
Monitoring & Notification
UVS, Ceph, and Grafana dashboard
Alert sent through email
SNMP
Storage Pool
Scale-out cluster
Grow the cluster to thousands of storage drives
No single point of failure
Cluster performance is linearly scalable with the number of drives (OSD).
Self-healing and auto rebalancing
Balances data distribution throughout the cluster nodes
Handles failures without interruption, automatically recovering to the predefined data resilience
Highly available
Withstand loss of multiple nodes/racks without disrupting service availability or data safety
Data protection
Stripping, erasure coding, or replication across nodes with predefined rule
Configurable number of replica and erasure coding profile
CLAY erasure coding to reduce the data recovery time
Renamable bucket type: root, region, zone, data center, room, PDU, raw, rack, chassis
Disk encryption
OSD disk drives can be encrypted to protect data when drives are removed
Data Compression
Inline object compression with target compression ratio
Cache Tiering
Support using a faster storage pool as cache tier of a capacity pool
Deployment And Management
Software update
Automated rolling update without downtime. Data services are available during the update.
Updates include Linux, Ceph, and UVS manager
General management
Host management: Scan and management server nodes in the Ceph cluster
Deploy the NTP server or use an external NTP server
Push NTP client to ceph hosts
Log management
Notification
User management
Ceph daemon services
Cluster initialization
