INTEGRATED HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC G06F12/08 G06F15/16 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: integrated hardware and software system is disclosed, comprising: a computing subsystem formed by at least four computing nodes, each of which is provided with at least one processor and a built-in disk drive for the data storage, a data storage subsystem, and a network subsystem equipped with network switches for the communication of the computing subsystem and the storage subsystem among themselves and with the external data network. The data storage subsystem has independent primary and secondary data storage units, the primary data storage unit is formed on the basis of the mentioned built-in disks of the computing nodes using the software tools installed on the computing nodes, including the tools for the organization and control the data storage, the tools for the virtualization of the computing and storage resources, as well as monitoring and control tools, and the secondary data storing unit includes at least one separate disk array, being not a part of the computing node, at least one controller node, as well as software tools installed on the controller node to control the disk array. The software tools of the computing nodes and the controller node are installed with the ability to distribute the application and system service data to the specified units of the data storage subsystem, depending on the requirements, nature, and specificity of the applications and services.

EFFECT: increasing the overall performance of the hardware and software system, and its fault tolerance.
