UniVirStor provides a highly available, scalable unified software-defined storage for wide storage usages with affordable capital investment. The appliance solution saves your time on the cycle of learning, configuring, installing, tuning, managing, and updating the cluster. Ambedded’s experienced ceph supports our customers with daily operation consulting, troubleshooting, and configuration checking requests.

Total Cost Saving

UniVirStor utilizes open-source software-defined storage software Ceph. Ambedded tightly integrates Ceph with Arm servers to save your capital investment and valuable core engineering resources. Our UniVirStor Manager Ceph management GUI automates the management to save your IT administrator’s efforts. UniVirStor offers you the storage system that covers the need for block storage, shared file system, and object storage at a lower cost on expense and operation.

Reliable and No Single Point of Failure

UniVirStor de-centralized microserver is purpose-built for the distributed storage cluster. Our Arm microserver hosts only one data disk and a dedicated SSD for OSD acceleration, unlike traditional servers. A microserver that failed in an appliance will only affect a single data disk and not stop the whole server. Every single node has a much higher MTBF compared to the conventional server. As a result, UniVirStor has the smallest failure domain and is less likely to fail.

Data Protection

Data is priceless. UniVirStor protects your data in many ways. It uses replication or erasure coding plus distributes data to software-defined failure domains. Thanks to the intelligent distributed algorism, your data is protested against the server nodes' failure. You also get disaster protection by replicating or sync data to other Ceph clusters in other locations.

The Ceph Management User Interface - UVS Manager

Ambedded converts our rich experiences into our Ceph management software, the UVS manager. It automates the processes of deployment, monitoring and operation. Users of UniVirStor benefit from the powerful enterprise class Ceph storage by using our easy-to-use web user interface.

Scalable On Demand

Predicting the future demand is difficult, and it is always hard to catch up with the business changes. You no longer need to predict the future. UniVirStor can scale its capacity and performance without stopping the service by adding more servers. You can quickly deploy a Ceph storage cluster starting from just two appliances up to thousands of nodes. The total capacity and aggregated performance will grow according to the number of servers you add to the cluster.

Software Upgrade Without Disruption

The complete software stack of the UniVirStor Ceph appliance includes the Linux kernel, root filesystem, storage and management software. Upgrading the whole software stack without disrupting your service is always a challenge. For every new release, UVS Manager customize and automates the update task to ensure your service is up during the upgrade.
