7

Capacity VS Throughput




Demand for storage is continuing to rise

Drives are becoming larger and out pacing the processing power

Throughput is not scaling compared to drive size

As drives become larger, fewer drives can be used driving down total IOPS

8

What does this all mean?




9

Virtualization




Whats a Storage hypervisor?

Server hypervisorhas a well understood value connotation Pooled physical resources are consumed by virtual machines resulting in

high asset utilization

Virtual machines are mobile giving CIOs their choice of physical serverdevice

A common set of value capabilities and centralized management are

provided for virtual machines regardless of what physical server they aresitting on

Storage hypervisor is a rapidly emerging way of describing the samevalue points in a storage context

On Intel systems

server virtualization platform (VMware vSphere or Red Hat EV) and

server virtualization management (VMWare vCenter or Red Hat EV Manager)

On Power systems

server virtualization platform (IBM PowerVM) and

server virtualization management (IBM Director VMControl)




Pooled Physical Resources

Dramatically improve utilization

of your physical storage assets

How? Pooled physical

resources from virtually any disk

array vendor or tier


12/70



Common Capabilities

Deliver tier-1 service regardless

of hardware choice

How? Common capabilities

delivered by the storage

hypervisor

I/O caching, thin

provisioning, automated

tiering, application-integrated

snapshot and mirroring,

mobility-driven disruption

avoidance

The desired service is delivered by

the Storage hypervisor independent

of the underlying hardware platform.

SLA (Service Level Agreement) is

encapsulated with the data in a

virtual volume.


13/70



Mobility

Balance workload, manage lease

termination, improve datacenter

performance

How? Mobility of virtual volumes

between any physical disk arrays

Move on the fly, snapshot or

mirror between arrays

In a single physical

datacenter or across twophysical datacenters up to

300km apart


14/70



Centralized Management

Optimize your people for the

challenges of day-to-day

operations

How? Centralized management

Visualization, health,

capacity, performance

Storage services catalog,

automated provisioning, pay-

per-use

Storage disk latency drives CPU utilization/efficiency lower

1. Issue I/O request (~ 100 s)

2. Wait for I/O to be serviced (~ 5,000 s)

3. Process I/O (~ 100 s)

Time to process 1 I/O request = 100 s + 5,000 s + 100 s = 5,200 s

CPU utilization = Wait time / Processing time = 200 / 5,200 = ~4%

The real cost of latency

The world's biggest e-tailer estimates that

every millisecond delay to its online service

costs it $4.8 million in lost sales

Source: Richard Irving Capacity Magazine

In the financial sector, which relies on ultra-

low-latency networks to drive low-risk,high-volume trading profits, a 1 millisecond

(ms) advantage could be worth upwards of

$100 million a year

SVC is designed to pool storage volumes into a reservoir of capacity forcentralized management. SVC

helps to hide the boundariesamong disk systems, which simplify managementand enables customers

to focus on managing storage as a resource to meet business requirements and not as a set of boxes.

Improving Application Test with SEFC

Production systems often have many testsystems that are replicas of production

SAP is known for often having large number

of copies

Using thin provisioned FlashCopy to create

replicas could significantly reduce storage

In this example, use fully-allocated test

master to isolate test systems from

production disk

Production and test could be on separate

disk systems

Test master can be used to reset test virtual disks after test runs

Implementation uses snapshots, cascaded, and multi-target FC

This example uses around 2x production data

Compare with 5x for regular FlashCopy

SVC stores two copies of a virtual disk, usually on separate disk systems

SVC maintains both copies in sync and writes to both copies If disk supporting one copy fails, SVC provides continuous data access

by using other copy

Copies are automatically resynchronized after repair

Intended to protect critical data against failure of a disk system or diskarray

A local high availability function, not a disaster recovery function Copies can be split

Either copy can continue as production copy

Either or both copies may be space-efficient

required enabling up to 5x data in the same space

Lower rack space, power, and cooling

Applicable to much wider range of data than alternative options

Significantly enhanced value for existing storage Nondisruptive volume move

Nondisruptive Volume Move

SVC supports moving a volume

without disruption from one storagepool to another

Includes moving between

internal and external virtualized

storage

A volume is presented to servers by

a single I/O group

Now,a volume can be movedfrom one I/O group to another

without disruption to

applications

Supports load balancing across an

entire system

Helpful when adding I/O groups toan SVC system

SVC FCoE Support

SVC offers extensive support for FCoE enabling full use of converged

networks

Also supports migration from Fibre Channel networks

SVC supports FCoE with 10Gb Ethernet ports on Model CG8 engines

Existing SVC engines may be upgraded with 10Gb Ethernet without

disruption

These ports may be used simultaneously for both FCoE and iSCSI

server attachment

SVC supports FCoE for all the same functions that FC is supported

FCoE Host connected to SVC (either FC or FCoE ports)

SVC (FC or FCoE ports) connected to storage system FC ports

verbs from nouns, etc.

The text above the headline is called the running header, Arial 10pt. Regular

checked for consistency.

On a white background, body text should appear in black and should be set in upper and

lower case.
