Hypervisor Storage Protocol

Awanio ensures that every hypervisor node is capable of integrating with major enterprise storage protocols to support a wide range of deployment models.

Supported Protocols:

  • Fibre Channel (FC)
    High-speed storage protocol over SAN (Storage Area Network), ideal for mission-critical environments.

  • Direct Attach Storage (DAS)
    Local storage directly connected to the hypervisor via interfaces like SATA, SAS, or NVMe.

  • iSCSI (Internet Small Computer Systems Interface)
    Block-level storage protocol over TCP/IP networks, offering flexibility and easy deployment.

  • SAS (Serial Attached SCSI)
    Enterprise-grade high-performance storage interface for directly attached drives.

Advantages:

  • Broad compatibility with existing enterprise storage systems
  • Enables a mix of local and network-attached storage models
  • Increases flexibility in cluster design and data availability
