Active-Active (HA Pair)
Two controllers share drives; if one fails, the other takes over. Cost-efficient at small scale but performance drops ~50% if a controller fails.
AI Checkpointing
Saving the state of an AI/HPC workload so training can resume. Requires very fast writes.
ASDs (Director Nodes)
Management nodes in VDURA that handle metadata and system operations.
ASUs (Storage Nodes)
Physical or virtual servers that store and manage data in VDURA’s distributed system.
Channel-First Strategy
VDURA’s commitment to prioritize partner-led sales and growth.
Cluster Management
Administration and orchestration of a group of connected servers as a single system.
Consultant Mode
Configurator setting to present multiple solution views (Hybrid vs. All-Flash) in live customer demos.
Data Durability
Ability of a storage system to preserve data integrity despite failures.
Deal Registration
VDURA program feature that protects partner margins (up to 20 points) when registering opportunities.
Director Nodes
Specialized VDURA management nodes that handle metadata, maintain the global namespace, and direct clients to the correct storage nodes (vPods) for parallel read/write access. Separating control from data flow enables scale-out performance and resiliency.
