Import substitution in the field of data storage systems: where to look for Russian solutions?

Against the background of a high exchange rate and a difficult geopolitical situation, which may also threaten disruptions in the supply of equipment or termination of access to technology for some Russian companies, customers are looking for possible ways to minimize risks during infrastructure modernization. Solutions that can replace imports come to the fore.

Says Vladimir Kolganov, head of data storage systems at CROC:
“For our part, we are exploring the market, selecting working options with substitute potential. So, over the past year alone, about six solutions of various Russian and Eastern manufacturers have been tested in our laboratory. "



According to Vladimir Kolganov, one of the most promising solutions for implementing cloud infrastructures is the ARSIENTEK software and hardware complex - the Resilient Cloud Storage system. CROC will use this system in its projects to equip Russian enterprises with advanced IT solutions and replace imported software and hardware in this area. What is unique in it, and why is this system so highly praised by the largest system integrator? The enterprise-class data storage system Resilient Cloud Storage is an advanced and completely Russian development, functional and relevant, especially in light of the course on import substitution.





RCS is an elastic system that has the ability to scale horizontally to hundreds of petabytes with a linear increase in productivity as volume grows, self-healing ability, and also supports modern protocols such as S3 and RBD, which makes it easier, easier and more efficient to solve the problem of storage and work with large amounts of data.

A key advantage of Resilient Cloud Storage is the ability to scale horizontally to hundreds of Petabytes within a single storage system. This is achieved due to the unique architecture of the solution, in which there are no dedicated storage controllers that always have a limit on performance, the number of supported disk shelves and interfaces for communicating with the outside world, which creates a “bottleneck” effect when working with data. In Resilient Cloud Storage, a controller is integrated into each disk module, thereby providing the ability to work with colossal amounts of data without losing the performance of the entire system. With the addition of new disk modules, both storage capacity and performance are growing linearly.

An equally important advantage of the system is its reliability. Data is backed up three times, RCS clients interact directly with storage modules, dedicated resource groups are provided for high-priority priority applications. In addition, RCS implements a data recovery and automatic data balancing function. If a disk or module fails, the system will recover automatically, again creating redundancy in free space with minimal degradation of performance. When adding new modules, data balancing occurs automatically.

Denis Nestun, General Director of ARSIENTEK, tells about “his brainchild”:
“Resilient Cloud Storage is the flagship product of ARCIENTEC, focused on large corporations, private and public projects that need real cloud scalability to solve problems, but who need to provide it in the best way inside their own cloud, in their data centers. CROC is a leading player in the IT market in Russia, and, of course, has extensive experience, including building a data storage infrastructure at large enterprises in our country. We know that CROC selects only the best solutions for its projects and are proud to have become partners. We are confident that our system will take its rightful place in the product line that CROC offers to its customers. ”
