Product Description

XGFS Empowers Users to Tackle Emerging Data-Intensive Challenges with Exceptional Cost-Effectiveness

XGFS (XSKY Global File System) is a new generation of distributed file storage system provided by XSKY. XGFS can achieve a unified namespace, which can meet the access requirements of traditional POSIX, NFS, SMB/CIFS, and FTP file protocols as well as the HDFS big data protocol and S3 object storage protocol for the same file.

Based on self-developed high-performance metadata services and all-flash/hybrid-flash distributed storage pools, XGFS can bring ultra-high storage access performance to businesses and meet the needs of mixed loads. At the same time, XGFS's self-developed XCache read cache can flexibly customize caching strategies according to business loads to solve the problem of fast access under different loads and different data models. Self-developed XDCache memory three-copy write cache, adaptive small files, small IO write cache strategy, performance cost improvement, and WAL persistence, data will not be lost under abnormal circumstances.

Product Advantages

Help users respond to enterprise NAS business scenarios flexibly and efficiently, providing high-performance product experience and comprehensive data protection capabilities

Rich ecological access capabilities
  • Meet application access to traditional POSIX, NFS, SMB/CIFS, and FTP file storage protocols
  • Supports HDFS and S3 new storage protocols to meet the needs of big data and object ecological application access
  • Within the unified namespace, interoperability between multiple protocols can be achieved, that is, the same data can be accessed using multiple protocols
  • Achieve access to multiple computing platforms through self-developed Kubernetes CSI Driver and OpenStack Manila Driver
High performance file system
  • Provides parallel private clients for extreme performance scenarios to meet application performance requirements to the greatest extent
  • Self-developed high-performance read/write caching service, which can provide rich business acceleration capabilities such as data caching, metadata caching, data pre-reading, directory prefetching, write caching, and Readdir acceleration
  • We have carefully designed and implemented each protocol channel to reduce OP amplification and maximize the performance requirements of the business
Comprehensive data protection
  • Through file extension active-active, it supports active-active disaster recovery of file system and zero data loss
