Aerodisk vAIR v2 with twice the performance

On November 26, 2020, Aerodisk, a domestic developer of solutions in the field of data storage and virtualization, presented the next version of the Aerodisk vAIR v2 hyperconverged system.

System performance doubled; in addition, this version is characterized by increased reliability and flexibility. The updated hyperconverged system includes the Aerodisk AIST hypervisor, which has now become available to customers as a separate product.

The Aerodisk vAIR hyperconverged system is used to create a corporate IT infrastructures turnkey, - VDI infrastructure, work with distributed computing and, big data as well as build infrastructure. cloudy providers

This version of Aerodisk vAIR v2 can be delivered not only as part of an integrated solution together with the Aerodisk equipment, as it was in the previous version, but also in the form software installed on the standard server customer equipment. The hyperconverged system includes a distributed storage system data based on the ARDFS file system, a virtualization system, namely the built-in Aerodisk AIST hypervisor, as well as a network component.

The requirements for Aerodisk vAIR installation equipment have been significantly reduced. Previously, the simplest configuration was represented by four computing nodes. In this version, the minimum system requirements have been reduced to three nodes. In addition, in it, the cluster can be sequentially increased by one computing node - previously the smallest "step" could consist of only two nodes. In general, the cluster can be expanded to 1024 computing nodes.

One of the key system updates was the ability to use the Aerodisk AIST hypervisor as a standalone solution. System functionality includes hardware virtualization, high-availability Five 9s (99,999%), load balancing, backup, and built-in centralized monitoring. The AIST hypervisor has a distributed management system and database, which increases the availability of the virtualization cluster, simplifies maintenance and disaster recovery. This distinguishes it from most, including foreign competitive solutions. As a result, Aerodisk AIST helps organizations of all sizes to conveniently work with their virtual machines.

In Russia and around the world, solutions that can simplify and unify IT infrastructure are gaining popularity. Hyperconvergent systems are ideal for this - in fact, this is a data center that fits in one "box," says Vyacheslav Volodkovich, General Director of Aerodisk. - Aerodisk vAIR is distinguished not only by its flexibility and high level of performance. This is a completely domestic development, which Russian organizations can use without risk, including in critical information infrastructure (CII) systems. And the Aerodisk AIST solution has generally become a fully functional Russian hypervisor on the market with round-the-clock technical support throughout our country.

For vAIR and AIST systems, as well as other Aerodiska products, round-the-clock technical support is provided, including training of customer's specialists in all regions of Russia and CIS countries.

Technical support is half the product. Therefore, for all our solutions, we have provided a full cycle of A-class technical support for our customers: training, assistance in implementation, assistance in operation and update, solving problems with related systems, and so on. Without such an approach to support from the manufacturer, in our opinion, not a single serious product can exist, - adds Vyacheslav Volodkovich.

In the future, Aerodisk also plans to expand the list of equipment compatible with Aerodisk vAIR and Aerodisk AIST, as well as continue the process of their integration with security systems, backup systems, VDI systems and other related solutions.

In addition, an update is expected in the first quarter of 2021. It will include support for container virtualization, which will be used for computing nodes based on Russian processors Elbrus-8C and 8SV.
