Updated Open-E JovianDSS Up32 Software with Advancing Data Storage, Control, and Virtualization

Open-E announced the release of JovianDSS Up32 Version, delivering next-gen performance enhancements, streamlined management features, and deeper integration with virtualized environments.

The version is designed to meet the demanding needs of modern data centers.

Open-E JovianDSS Up32 introduces several advancements:

• NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-oF) Initiator with Multipath I/O: Allows JovianDSS to connect to NVMe-based storage arrays over TCP or RDMA, and the addition of Multipath I/O ensures extreme performance through load balancing and high availability by rerouting traffic in case of a connection failure, transforming JovianDSS into a powerhouse for hyper-converged solutions and high-performance clusters.

• VMware VAAI Support for NFS Protocol: A highly anticipated enhancement for VMware users. The full VAAI support for the NFS protocol allows for offloading data storage-intensive tasks directly to the JovianDSS, resulting in faster VM provisioning, improved overall performance, and higher VM density per host in virtualized environments.

• Partition Labeling for NVMe Drives: Simplifying administration, this feature allows custom names or labels to be assigned to partitions on NVMe drives. This reduces the chance of human error and makes managing storage tiers more intuitive in complex setups.

“Open-E JovianDSS Up32 is a comprehensive and impactful release,” said Krzysztof Franek, CEO, Open-E. “The introduction of NVMe-oF Initiator, VAAI for NFS, and intuitive NVMe partition labeling accelerates performance, virtualization efficiency, and simplified management. Complemented by a host of other new features and widespread system and driver updates, Up32 version solidifies Open-E JovianDSS as a forward-looking, robust, and highly-capable platform for any enterprise data storage environment.“

Open-E JovianDSS Up32 solidifies its position as a robust and highly-capable platform for enterprise data storage.
