DAOS storage solution

Unleash the power of your DAOS storage

High-performance enterprise storage for futureproof applications

Benefit from the DAOS storage solution that we developed with our partner Intel to get easy management with insight into all the important parameters of your cluster. In combination with our premium support, you can relax and concentrate on the important aspects of your business.

High bandwidth.
Low latency.
High IOPS.

DAOS is a high-performant independent and fault-tolerant storage tier designed from the ground up for massively distributed Non Volatile Memory (NVM). It provides a ultra-high performance key-value storage interface features such as transactional non-blocking I/O and advanced data protection with self-healing.

Smart Storage Solution for Ceph and Intel DAOS

Together with our partner Intel we have created a solution for easy and reliable management of DAOS storage servers. It is a next generation high performance data storage, which stands out especially through its incredible performance. We are convinced that DAOS is particularly suitable for HPC applications, artificial intelligence and machine learning, and that its open source approach as well as its functions and performance are convincing compared to alternatives on the market.

Why DAOS storage management with croit?

High performance

DAOS is designed for high-performance enterprise storage, providing low-latency access to data for modern applications.

Scalability

It scales effectively across large clusters of storage nodes, accommodating growing data requirements without sacrificing performance.

Efficiency

DAOS optimizes storage efficiency by minimizing data duplication and maximizing resource utilization, reducing overall storage costs.

Resilience

It offers built-in data redundancy and fault tolerance mechanisms, ensuring data integrity and availability even in the face of hardware failures.

Simplicity

DAOS simplifies storage management with its streamlined architecture and management interfaces, reducing administrative overhead.

Compatibility

It supports a wide range of applications and workloads, making it suitable for various use cases across different industries.

“We are convinced that DAOS offers new possibilities, especially for HPC applications, artificial intelligence and machine learning, and that its features and performance are superior to alternatives on the market.”

What our DAOS storage solution provides

Apache Spark* integration
Ultra-fine grained, low-latency and true zero-copy I/O
Native producer/consumer workflows using publish/subscribe APIs
Non-blocking data and metadata operations to allow I/O and computation to overlap
Advanced data placement to account for fault domains
Software-managed redundancy supporting both replication and erasure code with online rebuild
Data indexing and query capabilities
In-storage computing to reduce data movement between storage and compute nodes
Tools for disaster recovery
End-to-end (E2E) data integrity
Scalable distributed transactions with guaranteed data consistency and automated recover

Seamless integration with the Lustre* parallel file system, with the ability to extend for other parallel file systems to provide a unified namespace for data access across multiple storage tiers
Dataset snapshot capability
Data mover agent to migrate datasets among DAOS pools, from parallel file systems to DAOS, and vice versa
Security framework to manage access control to storage pools
Software-defined storage management to provision, configure, modify, and monitor storage pools
Native support for I/O middleware libraries like HDF5*, MPI-IO*, and POSIX over the DAOS data model and API, removing the need for applications to port their code to use DAOS APIs directly
