Hi, what does this mean? Is this spinning drives with SSD caching or related to the mirroring? Thanks
It's ZFS I think.
SSD auto tiering moves "hot zones" of data from traditional spinning disks to fast solid state drives which have a much lower latency. This helps speed up application response and improve end user experience.
We are using hardware based auto tiering. We tried other software based solutions in the past like ZFS, based on nexenta but we ran into a few problems. The hardware solution that we have built based on the HP P4000 which also provides synchronous mirroring keeping two copies of your data across multiple storage nodes has proven to be very reliable. Which is vital for cloud based solutions using shared storage.
Can you provide a test ip? Or is it where you host your website, too?
Website is actually hosted else where for communication purposes. You can find some more detail here and the test IP's
