HUAWEI | OceanStor 6800 V3 | OceanStor 6800 V3 Base Configuration | |
DELL | COMPELLENT SC8000 | Dell middle-level SAN product |
1. V3 series supports all-in-one unified storage systems
while Compellent series requires extra engines to expand NAS
functions. 2. Compellent series only supports dual controllers while V3 series supports for scale-out up to 8 controllers. 3. V3 series supports the 16 Gbit/s Fibre Channel or 56 Gbit/s IB host port, PCIe 3.0 system bus, and 12 Gbit/s SAS disk port while Compellent series only supports the 16 Gbit/s Fibre Channel port. |
EMC | VMAX100K | EMC high-end storage product |
1. V3 series supports all-in-one unified storage systems
while VMAX3 storage systems use virtual machines (VM) to
support NAS functions but the efficiency is still unknown. 2. V3 series supports the 16 Gbit/s Fibre Channel or 56 Gbit/s IB host port, PCIe 3.0 system bus, and 12 Gbit/s SAS disk port. VMAX storage systems do not support the preceding ports and bus. VMAX3 storage systems do not support 56 Gbit/s IB host and 12 Gbit/s SAS disk ports. 3. In terms of the maximum number of host and disk ports, V3 series (40 front-end ports and 40 back-end ports) is better than VMAX (16 front-end ports and 16 back-end ports) and VMAX3 (32 front-end ports and 16 back-end ports). 4. V3 series supports inline deduplication and compression as well as hardware acceleration while VMAX and VMAX3 storage systems do not support the inline mode and hardware acceleration. 5. V3 series supports volume mirroring, and quick data recovery that is exclusively owned by Huawei while VMAX and VMAX3 storage systems do not support these functions. |

HDS | VSP G1000 | HDS high-end storage product |
V3 series and VSP/VSP G1000 storage systems (HDS's high-end
storage systems) are neck to neck in cache capacity but V3
series has small disadvantage in port quantities and the
maximum number of disks. In the bidding based on cache
capacity, use V3 series to beat HDS storage systems. V3 series supports all-in-one unified storage systems while the VSP/VSP G1000 storage systems require extra engines to expand NAS functions. V3 series supports the 16 Gbit/s Fibre Channel or 56 Gbit/s IB host port, PCIe 3.0 system bus, and 12 Gbit/s SAS disk port while the VSP/VSP G1000 storage systems do not support the preceding ports and bus. |
