On July 1, Tongyou Technology officially released the latest generation of end-to-end autonomous controllable all-flash centralized storage - NetStor® 9000 series products, which is another cross-generation innovative product of Tongyou Technology after the first independent controllable all-flash distributed storage product NetStor® 18000 series launched at the end of March. This series of products is positioned as a comprehensive localized replacement for ultra-high-performance storage for core applications in target industries.
The NetStor® 9000 series achieves 100% autonomy and controllability of core components, and its comprehensively upgraded system architecture, software stack, and application-specific advanced functions not only ensure that the core storage performance indicators such as bandwidth, IOPS, and latency of the product far exceed those of the previous generation, but also compete with the first-line storage of foreign X86 platforms.
So far, for the core application scenarios of large-scale databases, AI, large models, HPC, big data analysis and other core application scenarios in various target industries, the same technology distributed and centralized ultra-high-performance storage products and solution systems have been built completely, comprehensively breaking the situation that domestic ultra-high-performance storage needs to rely on foreign high-end products in the past. The bottleneck of localized storage performance that restricts user applications no longer exists, and the fully autonomous and controllable storage solution for high-precision applications has become a reality.
With the technology independent controllable all-flash centralized storage NetStor® 9000
Comprehensively break through the bottleneck of domestic substitution of high-end storage for core applications
Excellent product performance: comparable to foreign first-line X86 products
Bandwidth, IOPS, and latency are the core indicators to measure enterprise-level storage products, and the performance of storage products in the above indicators in key applications in various industries directly determines the overall efficiency and even success or failure of the system.
The single-node bandwidth and IOPS of the NetStor® 9000 series products are 7 times higher than that of the previous generation. The system latency is reduced by 75% compared to the previous generation. The growth rate of the above performance parameters shows that this series of products is of epoch-making significance for the development of centralized independent and controllable storage products. Compared with foreign first-line storage products based on the X86 platform, it is also at the same level, laying a solid foundation for continuous competition and transcendence in the future.
The core performance of NetStor® 9000 has been greatly improved, which is comparable to first-line X86 products in foreign countries
New system architecture: the first end-to-end Gen5 autonomous controllable all-flash centralized storage
The NetStor® 9000 series products integrate the latest independent and controllable industry ecosystem development achievements to achieve a comprehensive improvement of system architecture and core components. The product adopts the latest generation of 64-bit domestic CPU chips and domestic operating system optimized at the kernel layer, PCIe 5.0 system bus, domestic NVMe true all-flash storage media, domestic DDR5 memory, NVMe-oF and other multi-protocol networks to achieve end-to-end full-stack Gen5 architecture in the front, middle and back.
NetStor® 9000 series storage enables end-to-end full-stack Gen5
The NetStor® 9000 series storage stack and various self-developed boards and other software and hardware systems have been fully upgraded. A large number of high-level functions are introduced to maximize the performance of the system:
· The many-core equalization algorithm can realize the dedicated core to ensure the stability and efficiency of business processing. It can also be grouped by many cores and matched with services as needed, and each group can access the cache and data objects in the group through a lock-free design, avoiding frequent switching between multiple cores and affecting efficiency.
· The multi-threaded load realizes multi-tasking in data access, which perfectly matches the multi-queue characteristics of the crowd-core and NVMe protocols, shortens the decision time, increases efficiency, and reduces latency.
· Cache synchronization based on RDMA protocol and direct memory access on the host side realize the mirroring of cache data between dual controllers in the device, and zero impact on single-control faulty services. Combined with the high-speed Ethernet card that supports RoCE on the host side, it can greatly reduce the access delay on the host side.
· The intelligent stripe optimization algorithm dynamically matches the write I/O stripes, reducing read, write, and XOR operations by 40%, significantly improving the performance and reliability of the storage system and extending the life of the SSD.
· The dynamic multi-accounting method intelligently senses business pressure and dynamically adjusts the number of CPU cores in XOR processing, giving priority to ensuring business applications and improving front-end business performance.
In addition, the NetStor® 9000 has rich security functions and AI-intelligent monitoring and analysis management, making the entire system extremely reliable, ensuring all-weather data security and business continuity.
The supply chain is reliable and worry-free: the core components are 100% produced domestically
Based on Tongyou Technology's intensive cultivation in the storage industry chain and extensive external ecological cooperation, the NetStor® 9000 series is fully self-developed from the storage stack and other software, to 100% domestic production of core components such as processors, operating systems, and storage media, which can ensure the safety and reliability of the storage supply chain.

Tongyou Technology's "centralized + distributed" full-line layout: serving the diversified, complex and customized storage needs of users
Centralized storage is mature and stable, with ultra-high performance and ultra-low latency, while distributed storage has the characteristics of high performance, high availability, and easy scalability. In the current technology, market and application environment, the two will coexist for a long time and complement each other, and are suitable for different application scenarios and different functions.
Tongyou Technology adheres to the principle of "technology-based" and "R&D-driven", and has laid out independent and controllable storage R&D since 2010, and the two major product lines of centralized and distributed have undergone iterative development and market verification of the fifth and third generations respectively.
In 2024, the flowers will bloom and blossom. The centralized NetStor® 9000 series and the previously released distributed 18000 series are the breakthrough results of more than ten years of R&D accumulation and product iteration, and are high-performance products in the company's product system. At the same time, the company also released balanced hybrid flash solutions based on the above products: NetStor® 8000 series of centralized storage and 16000 series of distributed storage.
So far, Tongyou Technology's independent controllable storage has fully achieved a two-line three-dimensional layout of centralized storage and distributed storage, and accurately positioned from entry-level to high-end application scenarios, fully meeting the diversified, complex and customized storage needs of government and enterprise users in different scenarios, different levels and different types. Users can combine them according to their own business and application characteristics to maximize value.
