A milestone update anniversary for JovianDSS

Open-E JovianDSS Up30 improves storage performance, reliability, security and cost efficiency.

Open-E has released its JovianDSS Up30 version. The latest update brings with it many functions and improvements.

 

The Open-E JovianDSS Up30 highlights
 

  • ZFS Special Devices
    With ZFS Special Devices, it is now possible to store certain data types, such as metadata or small file blocks, on fast data carriers (SAS/SATA or NVMe SSDs).

    This type of prioritisation differs from traditional data tiering in that it is categorised according to data types. This means that it is not the frequently accessed (hot) data that is written to the faster media, but the important metadata.

    In addition, smaller datasets can also be reserved for the ZFS special devices. This strategic placement significantly improves the overall performance of the storage system.
     
  • NVMe partitioning
    With the update, you can now divide NVMe storage into partitions. This makes it possible to use a data carrier for both the read cache and the write log. Furthermore, you can even create additional partitions for special devices.

    These NVMe partitions allow you to optimise the utilisation of your NVMe drives, which results in lower hardware costs and simplifies architecture, management and maintenance.

Further optimisations

  • The “Send Compressed Data” Option in Open-E JovianDSS On- & Off-Site Data Protection
    Using the ‘Send Compressed Data’ option in the On & Off-Site Data Protection feature allows you to transmit already compressed data efficiently. When datasets are compressed at the source, they’re sent directly (without decompression), leading to faster transfers and reduced bandwidth usage. This eliminates the additional workload before transmission, speeding up (especially large) dataset transfers.
     
  • MacOS Time Machine Support
    We have introduced the MacOS Time Machine support for creating, finding, and restoring copies over SMB protocol.
     
  • Active Directory with RID Tange
    The multiple trusted domains support without RID conflicts is available as well.
     
  • Active Directory support for rfc2307 (AD backend for Samba)
    You can now configure the Unix UID and Unix-like GID through Microsoft Windows Domain Administrator.
     
  • Adaptec HPE Smart Storage Administrator
    We have added the support for Adaptec controller’s native WEB GUI tools.
     
  • Self-Encrypting Drives (SED) support for non-shared clusters
    In addition to SED support for Shared Clusters introduced in Open-E JovianDSS Up29r2, you can now utilize the Self-Encrypting Drives in Non-shared Cluster configurations.
     
  • Samba Recycle Bin Support for Windows
    Deleted data are now moved to the recycle bin Samba catalog instead of being permanently deleted.
     
  • Zero-configuration Networking (Zeroconf) Feature Support
    The zeroconf feature is now available, along with the additional discovery options for services.
     
  • TRIM for Selected Drives
    SSD TRIM can now be used for the drives of your choice.
     
  • LSI SNMP Agent Support
     
  • Driver for Broadcom HBA 9600-16e 12Gb Tri-Mode Storage Adapter (mpi3mr, v8.6.1.0.0)
     

New GUI Features

  • Active SMB and iSCSI user connection statistics
    (you can find them in the Service Status tab)
     
  • S.M.A.R.T. monitoring
     
  • ZFS ARC, L2ARC, and ZIL statistics

 

New TUI Features

  • New Testing Profiles Available
    New predefined performance testing profiles are available in TUI, and there is also a possibility to add custom profiles as well.
     
  • Check_mk Agent Management Options
    There is a possibility to turn off the Check_mk Agent
