Traditional storage systems cannot address such a storage requirement. The OceanStor 2600 V3 storage system uses the intelligent data tiering technology, SmartTier, to identify hotspot data and promote it to high-performance SAS disks or SSDs. If SmartTier later finds out that the hotspot data becomes cold (receiving fewer access requests), it demotes the data to low-performance disks and clears storage space for new hotspot data.
3 Typical Applications 3.2 High-Availability Applications The OceanStor 2600 V3 storage system has a highly reliable design, achieving a long mean time between failures (MTBF), and ensuring high availability of storage applications. It also incorporates a variety of data protection technologies, and protects data integrity and service continuity against catastrophic disasters.

Backup servers have low requirements on performance and bandwidths. The OceanStor 2600 V3 storage system supports an intermixed configuration of SSDs, SAS disks, and NL-SAS disks to deliver optimal performance. SSDs: deliver the highest performance among these three types of disk, and are suitable for application servers such as busy database servers and mail servers that require superior storage performance.
The controller enclosure adopts a modular design and consists of a system subrack, controllers, power modules, and disk modules. The 2 U controller enclosure of OceanStor 2600 V3 supports both AC and DC power modules, and a 2 U controller enclosure of OceanStor 2600 V3 supports dual controllers only.
