PRESS RELEASE
Software vendor launches new release for flagship product to boost Cluster security and avoid split-brain situations
Atlanta, Georgia; March 21, 2018: – Open-E, a leading developer of innovative data storage software, today released a new update for their ZFS- and Linux-based Open-E JovianDSS Data Storage Software. The update 24 is free of charge for all software users and is available for download on the company’s website.
The update includes a Pool activity-based Cluster Split-Brain Prevention feature with a “Separated Mode” mechanism. Serving as an additional layer for data safety, this functionality protects the cluster setup against an event called split-brain, which causes fission of a cluster that leads – in most cases – to data loss.
Apart from the Cluster Split-Brain Prevention functionality, the update 24 contains:
- UEFI boot mode support
in addition to the existing BIOS boot mode support. - Microsemi Adaptec SmartHBA and SmartRAID drivers
to support the newest line of storage controllers by Microsemi Adaptec. - SMB DOS-attributes option on GUI
to enable / disable "DOS-attributes" (Samba). - Remote Support auto-reconnect after interrupted or lost connection
through additional IP addresses in the software. - NIC re-order functionality
to assign a specific physical Ethernet interface to a specific eth name.
“In Open-E JovianDSS update 24, Open-E’s engineers have added a set of new functionalities to make storage management and maintenance safer, more compatible and user-friendly”, said Krzysztof Franek, CEO and president of Open-E about the latest software update. “Not only is the software more secure because of the new features, but also thanks to new drivers and a range of other fixes. And there’s more yet to come.”
