Cloud services have become a multi-billion dollar market, where the key challenge remains replacing imported solutions with functional domestic counterparts. DAKOM M is actively responding to this request by upgrading the SpaceVM platform. During 2025, it is planned to introduce deep network segmentation, traffic analysis (DPI) and dynamic routing, which will allow you to flexibly configure the platform to the needs of the business, - said Alexey Menzovitny, Product Director of SpaceVM at DACOM M.

SpaceVM 6.5.4 with enhanced file system performance GFS2

An updated version of SpaceVM 6.5.4 has been released with increased performance of the GFS2 file system. The developer announced this on November 26, 2024.

In this version, the mechanisms for forming a data pool of the GFS2 file system and creating a cluster transport for GFS2 have been significantly improved, which made the system more efficient and reliable.

A GFS2 data pool is a set of physical or LUNs that the file system GFS2 provides access to. The architectural approach ensured that the system was protected from potentially incorrect actions or processes when creating a GFS2 data pool and cluster transport for it. This architectural approach protects the system from errors when creating a data pool and cluster transport, which helps minimize failures and improve the reliability of the entire system.

The mechanisms analyze the state of the system and the actions of the user, comparing them with the current settings and configuration of the cluster. If blocking processes are detected, the system notifies the user with a warning or message, explaining the reason why the requested action cannot be performed. In addition, information is provided about the necessary steps to fix the problem and successfully complete the operation.

The updated approach to connecting external storage systems is based on an improved fault and fault handling mechanism that minimizes the chance of errors in the GFS2 clustered file system. This is achieved through more accurate monitoring of storage components and rapid response to anomalies, which improves the reliability and stability of the entire infrastructure.

GFS2 (Global File System 2), integrated virtualizations the SpaceVM platform is an implementation of a clustered file system that is used in networked storage. It allows all nodes of the network to have direct access to the block storage device where this file system is located, making it an ideal solution for organizing disk storage. virtual machines The bundle of the proprietary SpaceVM controller and the GFS2 file system is an analogue of VMFS from. VMware This solution will interest both users already familiar with VMware and those who have not previously worked with it, but are looking for a reliable clustered file system for storing data on external systems.

A combination of SpaceVM and GFS2 provides simple backups, allowing you to easily copy files without the need to convert data or control free space, making recovery easier in the event of a failure. The system dynamically allocates resources and supports the creation of thin disks, which allows you to effectively manage storage. In addition, the GFS2 stores all the necessary meta information in files, which provides flexibility in data management and allows you to restore virtual machines and their configurations even when connected to another cluster.

As part of the integration of GFS2 into the SpaceVM platform, significant work has been done to adapt the management and monitoring logic, allowing users to effectively manage the cluster via the web interface and command line. In addition, mechanisms have been developed to ensure system reliability and performance, including error handling and I/O optimization, making GFS2 an even more efficient virtualization solution.

The next releases of SpaceVM plan to improve the GFS2 file system, including improving its stability, reliability and performance. These changes will make the system more efficient and stable even under high load and complex use cases.

The operation of ACLs on virtual network switches in terms of creating reverse rules for receiving response packets has been optimized.

SpaceVM 6.3 implements the ability to upload CEF events to external systems such as ArcSight, which allows you to additionally ensure SpaceVM information security. Such systems make it possible to analyze the recorded events in an automated mode in order to identify possible incidents of information security. CLI events are recorded and the result of their execution is implemented on the controller. Events executed in the CLI on virtualization hosts are recorded in the web interface, and then can be transmitted to external monitoring systems, such as ArcSight.

As part of the work on optimizing the security of the product, the access control and control system, the possibility of blocking the user by IP address was created. The functionality allows you to additionally protect the virtualization system from unauthorized access at the level of blocking the IP address. A safe session makes it possible to secure the connection between the logon token and the IP address from which the logon was made. If the token associated with this IP address is used from another IP address, the user will not be authorized.

It became possible to monitor and automatically restart guest OS if they are unavailable. The function allows you to monitor the activity of the OS of the virtual machine according to various features. If the OS is unavailable, when the function is enabled, attempts will be made to automatically reboot the VM. After several attempts without response from the OS, the VM will be turned off. This function will allow the user to make access to the VM in automated mode, in case of any technical problems with the VM.

It is possible to change the name of the block device (LUN) at the discretion of the user. In previous versions, the name of the block device was automatically assigned a value obtained from the DSS and equal to the path, which was not always convenient when working with multiple LUNs and identifying them. Now, after automatic addition, the name of the block device can be edited to another convenient/understandable one. If the user name is different from the path, the path value in the LUN list can always be seen by the tooltip.

The functionality of working with tags has been expanded, it has become possible to assign 30 or more tags to an entity. With a large number of entities, the functionality allows you to group tags into categories and apply various scenarios to them, which will maintain the stability of the virtual infrastructure.

The graphical Web interface was optimized in terms of adaptability and visualization of part of the parameters.

Red OS Compatibility

The companies "Dacom M" and "RED SOFT" announced technological cooperation, within the framework of which products were tested for performance. Thus, the companies have confirmed the compatibility of the platform for organizing the virtual desktop infrastructure Space VDI and the cloud platform SpaceVM with the operating system RED OS. The company "Dacom M" announced this on November 9, 2023.

The pace of import substitution is increasing, so ensuring the compatibility of Russian software products is becoming one of the important tasks. For the customer and the integrator company, the compatibility between Russian software opens up the possibility of building a stable IT infrastructure independent of foreign products.

Compatibility of Space ecosystem products with RED OS will allow our customers to effectively solve the problems of switching from foreign-made operating systems and virtualization platforms to domestic solutions, - said Maxim Erofeev, Commercial Director of DACOM M.

The creation of an import-independent software complex is a task on the solution of which the achievement of technological sovereignty depends. Our goal as a developer is to ensure OS compatibility with the largest number of domestic products. Technological partnership with the developer of the virtualization ecosystem Space "DAK M" opens up opportunities for RED OS users who close the need for remote work formats that are especially relevant in the era of digitalization, "said Rustam Rustamov, Deputy General Director of RED SOFT .

Compatibility with the Cyber Backup system

A series of tests confirmed the compatibility of the cloud platform SpaceVM and the backup system Cyber ​ ​ Backup according to the scheme without using agents in guest virtual machines. The company Cyberprotect announced this on May 10, 2023.

Thanks to this scheme integration , Cyber ​ ​ Backup can provide SpaceVM with full-fledged protecting user data virtual machine images. Agentless interaction technology allows Cyber Backup to back up all elements private cloud at the core level of the system and guarantee the fastest possible recovery of any services or data in the event of a failure.

Sharing Cyber ​ ​ Backup and SpaceVM opens up opportunities for seamless import substitution and allows Russian companies to get a world-class IT solution with warranty and support from Russian manufacturers. As of May 2023, the products of both companies are included in the unified register of Russian software Ministry of Digital Development Russia.

The technology stack of Russian manufacturers is sufficient to meet the needs of most customers. The ecosystem issue is much more important: building a high-quality service around products. It is more important than ever to offer customers a competent technological bundle of products - they need not only virtualization, but also backup, as well as security tools, etc. For us, as a developer, it is very valuable that we, together with our partner Cyberprotect, can develop our efforts in this direction, "said Denis Ageev, Deputy General Director of DAKOM M LLC.

As of May 2023, most companies and organizations use server virtualization in their IT infrastructure. The fault tolerance of such an infrastructure, ensuring protection against data loss, the ability to restore IT systems of any complexity - the tasks that we solve together with our technological partners, - said Almaz Valiullin, head of the technological compatibility department of Cyberprotect. - Proven compatibility between SpaceVM and Cyber ​ ​ Backup is another full-fledged element of the Russian software ecosystem, which gives our common customers freedom to develop the architecture of IT systems using domestic solutions.
