Frequently Asked Questions

Technical details regarding NVMe-oF protocol performance, data reduction ratios, ransomware SafeMode snapshots, and SAN vs NAS selection.

1. What is NVMe-oF (NVMe over Fabrics) and how does it outperform traditional Fibre Channel SANs?

▼

Traditional Fibre Channel SANs utilize SCSI protocols originally designed for spinning hard drives, introducing queue depth bottlenecks. NVMe-oF extends end-to-end PCIe NVMe commands over high-speed Ethernet (RoCE v2) or Fibre Channel networks, supporting 64,000 parallel command queues and reducing storage latency to under 0.15 milliseconds for AI and database workloads.

2. How does hardware inline deduplication achieve a 5:1 data reduction ratio?

▼

Dedicated hardware ASIC/FPGA processors examine incoming write blocks in real time before writing to flash memory. Identical data blocks (such as duplicate VM operating system files) are stored once and assigned pointers, while unique blocks are compressed using LZ4 algorithms, dramatically extending physical flash drive capacity.

3. How do immutable SafeMode snapshots protect backups against ransomware attacks?

▼

Ransomware attackers often attempt to compromise storage admin credentials to delete volume snapshots before encrypting production data. Immutable SafeMode snapshots create read-only point-in-time copies that cannot be modified, encrypted, or deleted by any user—even with full root administrator privileges—until an off-site dual-custody PIN authentication challenge is passed.

4. What is the difference between SAN (Block) and NAS (File) storage?

▼

SAN (Storage Area Network) presents raw disk volumes over Fibre Channel or iSCSI to host servers, ideal for high-performance databases (Oracle, SQL, SAP). NAS (Network Attached Storage) serves structured file shares over NFS or SMB protocols for file servers, media repositories, and shared virtualization datastores. Unified storage arrays support both SAN and NAS simultaneously.

5. Does Microlines offer SAN data migration from end-of-life legacy storage arrays?

▼

Yes. Microlines conducts non-disruptive SAN volume migrations using array-based replication or host-level LUN mirroring tools, ensuring your databases and VMs transition to new All-Flash NVMe arrays with zero data corruption and minimal maintenance downtime.
