This section provides the release notes for Everpure Cloud Dedicated version 6.8.7.
Overview
-
Automatic Capacity Upgrade
-
Host Management with NVMe-TCP on AWS
-
Sync (Active Cluster) Replication Encryption
Automatic Capacity Upgrade
This feature enables customers to automatically increase total Everpure Cloud Dedicated capacity by adding additional storage to the array when total used storage
capacity reaches the threshold of 80%. Capacity is increased then by adding an additional
one capacity point to the array. Automatic capacity expansion is available for Everpure Cloud Dedicated
on Azure only and can be configured in the GUI or using CLI purearray auto-capacity-expansion command.
Along with the Automatic Capacity Upgrade, we released Selectable Initial Capacity, which allows customers to choose the array capacity during initial deployment.
Host Management with NVMe-TCP on AWS
Starting from this release it’s possible to configure NVMe-TCP connection between Everpure Cloud Dedicated and AWS Linux based native VMs. NVMe-TCP is seen as the modern successor to iSCSI for block storage, particularly for workloads demanding high performance. While iSCSI remains a viable and widely supported option for many general-purpose workloads, NVMe-TCP is becoming the preferred choice for latency-sensitive applications, databases and other I/O-intensive use cases.
Sync (Active Cluster) Replication Encryption
We announced the release of the over-the-wire encryption capability for arrays that are replicating using synchronous connections in Purity 6.8.7, adding to the existing support for encrypted asynchronous replication. This new feature within Purity introduces robust encryption for data in transit, leveraging the latest TLS 1.3 protocol, to protect your data against unauthorized access and man-in-the-middle attacks.
