2021: Enhanced External Storage Capabilities

The developer and manufacturer of the fault-tolerant modular platform Skala^r on October 22, 2021 announced an update to the software for the Skala^r MW virtualization machine. The next LTS version (with long-term support) of the Virtualization software 1.93 supports external DSS, clustering virtual machines and significantly expands the functionality of predictive diagnostics.

Skala^r MW virtualization machines are mass-produced pre-configured complexes designed to create reliable hyper-converged and disaggregated infrastructures, as well as object data warehouses. Software components are included in the Unified Register of Russian Programs for Electronic Computers and Databases, and computing nodes are included in the Unified Register of Russian Electronic Products.

An important and most anticipated upgrade from the previous LTS version 1.80 was the expanded capabilities for working with external storage systems (DSS) with both file and block access. The flexibility of the updated version allows you to make a consistent transition from an outdated or non-compliant IT infrastructure that uses external systems and storage networks to a domestic hyperconverged solution. Implementing VMware and OpenStack resource management directly from the Virtualization Skala^r environment is equally important, further simplifying the migration process.

The high availability mechanism for virtualization hosts has added the ability to create clusters between virtual machines with shared storage to host data and provide a quorum. The use of updated functionality in conjunction with an automatic load balancer and the application of virtual machine connectivity rules provides the fault tolerance required for critical organization services.

Significant additions have been made to the system of diagnostics, predictions and automation of control. Prediction techniques and response scenarios have been developed on the basis of many years of experience in the operation of virtualization machines among various customers. The most frequently worked out scenarios are proactive reconfiguration of virtual servers with an expected shortage of certain resources and corrective effects in case of degradation or failure of drives.

For large-scale infrastructures, advanced configuration of virtual machines is implemented at the stage of their automated creation, and for organizations with a large number of separate departments or regional branches, it is possible to work with any number of domains within one forest.

The software update for virtualization machines is released quarterly, and once a year a significant LTS version is released, which we recommend for mandatory installation, even if previous releases are missed. Synchronization of roadmaps for the development of various software and hardware components in the Skala^r complexes guarantees customers the consistency and compatibility of subsequent updates and timely access to added functionality and promising solutions, "said Skala^r CEO Viktor Urusov.

The company notes that unquestioning compliance with the principles of fault tolerance and scalability at the architecture level meets the requirements of using a modular Skala^r platform for critical and highly loaded corporate and government information systems. Deep integration and cross-optimization of components from platform software to microcontrollers in close technological cooperation with their developers ensures extreme stability and high performance at extreme loads.
