By the first quarter of 2021, 111 Inc's digital platform is managing hundreds of thousands of SKUs (Stock Keeping Units), directly supplying over 360 well-known pharmaceutical companies at home and abroad, and partnering with over 300,000 pharmacies. In 2020, the company earned 8.2 billion yuan, up 107.6% yearly.

Based on rigorous solution evaluation and the PoC
(Proof of Concept) test, 111 Inc. decided to use AccelStor NeoSapphire™ H710 all-flash array as its main storage device. Taking into account the above requirements and 111 Inc's future business strategy and application scenarios, the technical team at AccelStor developed an all-flash solution with powerful performance, high stability, and high cost-effectiveness.
AccelStor All-Flash Array used in the solution applies the independent and controllable FlexiRemap® software technology based on more than 600 patents claims and has the following functions:

1.Data Reduction
2.High-Performance Read-Write
3.Symmetric Shared-Nothing Architecture

In addition, 111 Inc's future S2D2C (Supply Chain Platform to Doctors to Consumers) mode involves patient life cycle management. The solution's reliability is 99.9999% with the configuration of other data protection functions such as protection group, hot standby disk, cloning, and backup.

• Optimize cloud adoption plan and improve data space utilizationby 10 times
In a test platform environment with multiple versions and a large number of duplicated data, the H710 all-flash array significantly improves SSD utilization by using data compression and on-demand deduplication functions (enabled by default). The compression ratio in the actual environment was as high as 10: 1, which significantly reduces the cost per GB.

• Suit multiple business scenarios and replace human labor with computing power
AccelStor's H710's patented built-in flash management algorithm comes with high-performance read-write, evenly distributing data to each SSD in the array. Instead of being cached for higher speed, data is directly written into the disk, simplifies the storage system while improving the service efficiency of business systems.

• Accelerate data analysis and support intelligent decision-making of companies.
H710 all-flash array accelerates the development of multi-dimensional data models and data cubes of data warehouses and improves panoramic observation of the whole data set. As a result, it helps promote the production efficiency of production departments and optimizes decision-making support for decision-making departments. The higher IO performance and BI analysis capability empower 111 Inc. to convert more data into business values.
