2022: Raidix Elbrus 5.2
The introduction of software-defined storage systems components based on domestic components is an important tool for optimizing IT infrastructures companies in 2022. The new release ON of RAIDIX Elbrus 5.2 gives customers the opportunity to implement fault-tolerant and high-performance systems, reducing the dependence of organizations on the availability of foreign components.

2021: Raidix Elbrus announcement
On August 3, 2021, the company RAIDIX"" announced the completion of the development and testing of its own ON for building DSS on the basis of processors "," Elbrus called RAIDIX Elbrus. Thanks to the implementation of achievements based on the Russian microelectronics DSS microprocessors Elbrus and RAIDIX Elbrus software, they will be able to solve problems import substitution state in both business structures, scientifically research centers, medical educational and organizations.
According to the company, the feasibility of choosing DSS based on Elbrus is proved by the tests carried out by RAIDIX. For example, they showed that when building DSS for 20 HDD/RAID6 for random and sequential read and write operations, as well as under mixed loads, the performance of DSS based on Elbrus and Intel processors was almost comparable. The largest Intel advantage (additionally about 30% IOPS) was recorded when testing for random reading, while Elbrus showed a higher result when reading sequentially (the advantage is about 20% MB/s). Other indicators could be called comparable.
RAIDIX Elbrus enables both networked storage (NAS) and Network Attached Storage SAN (). Storage Area Network, SAN The system is managed via the web interface () GUI as well as the Command-Line Interface (CLI).
Functionality implemented in RAIDIX Elbrus:
- Hybrid Data Warehouse
- Automatic end-to-end recording
- Protection against latent data corruption
- caching algorithms;
- VAAI support;
- partial and proactive reconstruction;
- Scan and monitor the status of disks.
The developers of RAIDIX Elbrus sought to create an easy to implement, configure and use software. The product provides support for:
- Generic and ERA RAIDs
- RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 7.3, 10, 50, 60, 70;
- All major operating systems and browsers
- Fibre Channel and iSCSI links
- virtualizations VMware platforms ESXi 7.0, KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine),, Microsoft Hyper-V Server Proxmox VE.
In addition, RAIDIX Elbrus is compatible with all key interfaces and hardware components.
RAIDIX Elbrus-based storage systems will run the the Russian Alt Server development operating system. BASEALT The operating systems of the "" line Viola interact with processors Elbrus in native codes, which allows them to optimally use their performance.
We set ourselves a goal - to offer the market software ready for operation in "combat conditions" under Elbrus and did not seek to force the deadlines. The release was preceded by several months of software testing on various platforms and a thorough acceptance procedure. told Evgeny Davydenko, head of the implementation and support group "RAIDIX" |
Storage is one of the key product segments for Elbrus processors. The architecture of Elbrus processors itself is suitable for implementing algorithms for software-defined DSS (including RAID, erasure coding, etc.), and the power of attorney of Elbrus processors allows you to build systems with the necessary level of information protection. Thanks to the close interaction between the technical teams MCST (processor and SDK developer), BASEALT (operating system developer) and RAIDIX (DSS application software developer), it was possible to quickly create fully functional DSS on the Russian hardware and software platform, using all its capabilities. The fact that colleagues from BASEALT support their own repository technology for the Elbrus architecture played an important role in the efficiency of this work. |
