New capabilities

Release 3.15.0 introduced a new backend storage methodology called Zone Slice Storage (ZSS).

  • ZSS is shared storage for all vaults deployed on a given Slicestor® Node.
  • ZSS greatly improves performance in the storage of objects.
  • ZSS outperforms older designs in most user observable cases and demonstrates much better resiliency to power outages and other system conditions.
  • ZSS enables the use of Host Managed Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR) hard drives. SMR enables higher capacity than conventional Perpendicular Magnetic Recording (PMR) hard drives.
