System Risk Health Real Time Alerting

Anomaly Detection leverages CloudIQ telemetry to monitor and analyze data reducibility changes.
Admins are alerted if a reducible data reduction is identified due to potential encryption/ransomware.
Ransomware attacks that maliciously encode data via asymmetric encryption methods are quickly identified.
Health risk reporting and early detection minimizes ransomware exposure and speeds application recovery.

 PowerStore Dynamic Resiliency Engine
Simultaneous Tolerance Level: Single Drive Failure vs. Double Drive Failure

• DRE - Tolerance Level: Single Drive Failure (at a time)

• Default value
• Single Parity protection is used within each RS for user data
• Up to one simultaneous drive failure per RS without encountering DU/DL
• Metadata and other mirrored data uses 2-way mirroring

• DRE-DP - Tolerance Level: Double Drive Failure (at a time)

• Dual Parity protection is used within each RS for user data
• Up to two simultaneous drive failure per RS without encountering DU/DL
• Metadata and other mirrored data uses 3-way mirroring
• Reduced capacity in similar configurations when compared to single

• DRE - Tolerance Level: Single Drive Failure
– RRS maximum drive count = 25 drives (Same as previous releases)
– Each RS reserves one drive worth of spare space
– 4+1 and 8+1 widths supported, RS width set based on drive count at initialization
▪ 4+1 requires a minimum of 6 drives
▪ 8+1 requires a minimum of 10 drives – most efficient raw to usable

• DRE-DP - Tolerance Level: Double Drive Failure

– RRS maximum drive count = 50 drives
– Each RS reserves one drive worth of spare space
– 4+2, 8+2, and 16+2 widths supported, RS width set based on drive count at initialization
▪ 4+2 requires a minimum of 7 drives
