Sunlight Software-defined Storage (SDS), a component of Sunlight HyperConverged Edge (HCE), aggregates local storage drives across a cluster (ideally NVMe) into a virtual storage pool which can be provisioned as vDisks – each with their own redundancy policies, and fast repair and resynch times for content repair. Sunlight SDS is designed for easy scaling and low latency – supplying over 1M IOPS per VM.
High performance, low latency
- Deliver over 1M IOPS per VM
- Ultra low latency
- Linear scale-out performance
Easy deployment options
- Deploy symmetric or asymmetric
- Use any off-the-shelf NVMe drives
- Plug in Photon to separate compute and storage
Highly available
- Configurable fault tolerance to multiple drive failures
- Configure policies for node, rack and AZ-level failure tolerance
- Ultra-fast repair and resync
Easy to implement and manage
Sunlight is easy to install - the complete Sunlight HCE stack can be installed on a bare-metal server in 10 minutes, or on-demand in AWS. AWS AMIs are binary compatible - so can be migrated instantaneously. Sunlight is easy to manage - it includes a full dashboard that allows you to manage all aspects of your Sunlight cluster, including fine-grained control of CPU, storage and network configuration and performance. The dashboard is installed as part of the HCE stack and is highly-available by design across the cluster.
