Overview

With the explosive growth of applications such as IoT, big data, and mobile Internet, more and more data is generated, and the total storage market volume increases year by year. As distributed storage becomes increasingly popular, some applications that require high performance, such as databases of financial systems, also use distributed storage. To achieve high performance, storage systems usually need to use SSDs as the main storage medium. Therefore, more powerful CPUs are required to fully utilize the performance of the SSDs. Kunpeng servers are powered by Huawei-developed Kunpeng series processors. The Kunpeng 920 processor provides up to 64 cores@2.6 GHz, which outperforms mainstream platforms in the industry. Boosted by Kunpeng processors, the Kunpeng software-defined storage (SDS) system has distinguished performance advantages over distributed storage systems based on traditional hardware platforms.

Kunpeng BoostKit for SDS is based on the Kunpeng hardware platform. With Huawei-developed leading processors, NICs, SSDs, management chips, and AI chips and open-source Ceph distributed storage software, it provides customers with a distributed storage solution covering block storage, file storage, and object storage services.
