The Nodeweaver Advantage: Rock Solid Simplicity
NodeWeaver News, Wednesday, May 8th, 2024
NodeWeaver is designed to be simple and safe - in every moment, be it under management or not. This means that the infrastructure needs to be able to manage itself, both in normal operativity and during a disaster.
Each node integrates a complex autonomic engine, that manages the node itself, its hardware components and any process executing on top; this brings substantial advantages in terms of efficiency and reliability.
As an example, in most virtualization systems a common hardware requirement is either a local RAID protected storage or an external, costly storage area network. With NodeWeaver, storage is handled with a novel concept called 'chunks' that are atomic components of a file, and replicated with the desired level to achieve the protection that is more appropriate for each virtual machine. If a disk failure causes some chunks to become unavailable, the system automatically will find a working copy and replicate again to guarantee the desired security level.
