With its unique features, Open-E JovianDSS ensures high data reliability and integrity for optimal data storage, protection and recovery. It addresses the needs of enterprise users seeking a unified NAS and SAN solution with thin provisioning, compression and deduplication.
The Broadberry CyberStore range of enterprise-grade, multi-award-winning storage appliances has been designed and built to be fully compatible with Open-E's ZFS-based storage operating system Jovian-DSS.
Store your data
The CyberStore range, configured with Open-E JovianDSS provides unlimited options to architect HA storage environments with SMB/CIFS, NFS and iSCSI protocols. It's the answer to almost any storage requirement, either as a single node, a virtualised HA setup or a Big Data cluster environment. Open -E JovianDSS High Availability Clusters with Ethernet, SAS or Fibre Channel connections ensure reliability and redundancy by eliminating single points of failure.
Standard HA Cluster Feature Pack
The Standard HA Cluster Feature Pack enables High Availability for two server nodes connected to a single storage with one or more JBODs.
HA supported protocols: iSCSI, SMB, NFS, FC
Supported SSD/HDD disks: SAS, FC
Advanced Metro HA Cluster Feature Pack
With the Advanced Metro HA Cluster Feature Pack you can achieve High Availability for two server nodes with storage mirror over Ethernet of up to 50 miles (80km), using a storage at each location ( Dual Storage ).
HA supported protocols: iSCSI, SMB, NFS, FC
Supported SSD/HDD disks: SAS, FC, SATA
Advanced feature: Site-to-Site Mirror over Ethernet
Benefit from a full-service, Software Defined Storage package which you can customise according to your needs.
Protect your data
On- & Off-site Data Protection in Open-E JovianDSS provides a strategy for Backup, Archiving and Disaster Recovery by enabling asynchronous replication to local sites or co-locations. This way, servers with crucial data can be easily and instantly restored in case of an unexpected disaster.
This functionality allows you to create consistent snapshots and to asynchronously replicate snapshot deltas to local or remote destinations. Additionally, replication tasks can be scheduled according to the specific user requirements for secure archiving. Encryption enhances security even further while buffered data replication significantly increases the efficiency of storage environments with Open-E JovianDSS. The functionality can be managed via the Command Line Interface (CLI). The software now also includes VMware vSphere Storage APIs - Array Integration (VAAI) for iSCSI data acceleration.
Recover your data
On-&-Off-Site Data Protection effectively prevents data loss and minimises the recovery time with high-speed Disaster Recovery, lowering the Recovery Point Objective (RPO) and Recovery Time Objective (RTO) in every backup strategy. It allows setting up an application- consistent backup with a retention interval as a Disaster Recovery plan for virtual environments based on VMware.The software does not require the installation of any backup agent.This way, servers with crucial data can be easily and instantly restored in case of an unexpected disaster.
Technical Specifications
ZFS File System
128-bit ZFS file system - The most scalable and flexible 128-bit file system.
Unlimited file size - Most legacy solutions limit the file sizes, in ZFS there is no reachable limit.
Unlimited Compatibility - The Linux architecture provides Open-E JovianDSS with much better compatibility than competing products based on other operating systems.
Warranted data integrity - Self-healing check-sums, atomic writes and transactional copy-on-write I/O operations eliminate silent data corruption and 'write-holes'.
Data Management
NEW High Availability Load-balanced Cluster with Ethernet, SAS or Fibre Channel connection - for highest data security with SMB / NFS / iSCSI failover functionality via Advanced Metro HA Cluster Feature Pack or Standard HA Cluster Feature Pack.
NEW S.M.A.R.T. attributes for all disks in the log files - to easily detect indicators of drive reliability and avoid disk failure.
Data Migration Tool - to easily transfer from Open-E DSS V7 and other storage software.
Disk Multipathing support - for higher fault tolerance, Data Integrity and performance.
Software RAID support - for bootable mediums for improved High Availability and security.
System management via RESTful API - for more flexibility.
VMware Auto Storage Rescan - for an automatic scan after planned or unplanned reboots.
maxView Storage Manager - for a simplified monitoring, an easy maintenance process, and configuration of storage controllers in systems built on Microsemi Adaptec HBA or RAID adapters.
Support for SMB/CIFS protocol (SMB ver. 3.02) - Protocol for Windows environments which includes fully compatible Access Control Lists (ACL) and ADS (Active Directory Service) authentication. Enables direct access to previous file versions with snapshots and is compatible with the Open-E JovianDSS failover feature.
On- & Off-site Data Protection - Enables asynchronous replication to local sites or co-locations with consistent snapshots, secure archiving, encryption and buffering.
HA cluster management software - Enables quick and easy management of all cluster functionalities.
Unlimited snapshots and clones - In most legacy solutions, the limit for snapshots is set to 255. Open-E JovianDSS allows unlimited snapshots and auto-snapshots that can be remotely activated via CLI and enable easy cloning, versioning and backup.
Independent VIP (Virtual IP Addresses) feature - Guarantees no downtime during maintenance.
Open-E JovianDSS WebGUI - Open-E is a specialist at creating intuitive and practical WebGUIs for ease-of-use and saving of time.
Native compression & data deduplication - Compression and inline data deduplication drastically reduce physical disk usage.
Disk redundancy - Mirrors and RAID arrays with up to 3 parity disks ensure data safety and uptime.
Tiered cache - RAM and SSD cache tier hot data between each other to increase performance.
Hybrid storage pools - Utilize the I/O performance of SSDs and high capacity of HDDs in a single system.
Thin provisioning - Virtually simulates a bigger volume than is physically available, and allows growing it on the fly without the need to re-format the file system.
Storage and service reports - Generate automatic and periodic reports to manage the performance of the system and integrate it into SNMP based management solutions.
General
Storage operating system - Includes latest stable packages for higher storage security.
Open-E JovianDSS OS - built on Linux and ZFS on Linux which offers superior stability and performance.

Multi Award-Winning
Year-after-year, the Broadberry CyberStore range of unified storage appliances has beaten the likes of Dell and HPE to be crowned "Best Storage Appliance" by PC Pro magazine.
Outstanding Value
When compared to the likes of DELL, HPE, EMC etc, the Broadberry CyberStore range of enterprise-grade unified storage appliances is up to 60% cheaper, although using the same quality components such as Seagate drives and Kingston RAM.

Switch to Broadberry Storage
Lower Cost, Same Components
Broadberry enterprise storage appliances are on average 86% lower cost than EMC and 55% lower cost than DELL although built using the same leading-brand server components such as Intel processors and Samsung memory. HPE hard drives are rebadged Toshiba enterprise-class drives, the exact same models as found in Broadberry storage appliances.
Hard Drive Caddies Included
When you buy a Broadberry storage appliance all drive bays are supplied with caddies - so if in 6 months time you decide to expand the storage you can source it freely from the marketplace or ourselves if you wish. The only way to add hard drives to HPE servers is to buy the drives along with caddies from HPE for 200% the price of Broadberry's price.
No Ongoing Licence Costs
Broadberry storage appliances come with enterprise-grade features like IPMI included, whereas HPE charge large fees for perpetual licences for the same features.
Instant, Accurate Quotations
Our website allows you to configure your server online with accurate prices, as opposed to NetApp who require several face-to-face meetings with them before they'll give you a price.
Market Moving Away from Tier 1 Vendors
Over recent years there's been a massive move from the world's largest organisations such as Google to purchase their servers from the likes of Broadberry rather than DELL and HPE. This move is fuelled by the rise in commodity hardware.
