Lenovo & DataCore: 3 Key Takeaways• Purpose-Built Turnkey Software-Defined Storage Appliance

– Lenovo Storage DX8200D powered by DataCore

• Unique Versatility for Mission Critical Applications & Data– Leverage new and/or existing storage, internal and/or external storage, service physical

and/or virtual hosts

• Best Performing SDS solution in the market with the Highest Availability– Record-breaking IOPS & lowest latency

3

Identifying Opportunities for the DX8200D

• When application performance matters– New Workloads or Projects– Microsoft Affinity (Hyper-V, SQL, etc.)

• When heterogeneous storage needs to be: – Managed– Refreshed– Consolidated

• When data availability is paramount– Business Continuity– Disaster Recovery


Customer Value POV

How does the DX8200D make us money?• Faster I/O performance means increased transactions

• No single point of failure means continuous operations

• Do more with less equals increased profit

How does the DX8200D save us money?• Eliminates the need for individual array-based software

• Pool & tier storage assets for maximum utilization

• Centrally manage storage assets for increased productivity

The Lenovo Storage DX8200D provides immediate value and near-term ROI

Lenovo Storage DX8200D Benefits• Improved Application Performance

– Multi-Core Parallel I/O processing

• Highest Data Availability – 2-node for HA (stretch cluster for DR)

• Investment Protection – Exploitation of existing storage assets

• Future Ready (phased approach)– Hybrid-converged (multiple uses)

• Minimal Risk & Change– No change to applications or processes

• Easy to Expand (scale up + scale out)– Add nodes, storage, memory, etc.

High-Speed Caching

• Accelerates disk I/O responsefrom existing storage

• Uses x86-64 CPUs and memory from DataCore nodes as powerful, inexpensive “mega caches”

• Anticipates next blocks to be read, and groups writes to avoid waiting on disks

Speeds up performance

PERFORMANCE


Turbo-charged I/OPERFORMANCE


Data is Cached and Auto-tieredPERFORMANCE


QoS Controls

•Enables critical apps to run faster

•Set limits on I/O traffic generated by less important workloads

•Saves money otherwise spent on dedicated equipment

Synchronous Mirroring

• Data in two places • Eliminates storage as a single point

of failure • Enhances survivability using

physically separate nodes• Updates distributed copies

simultaneously• Mirrored virtual disks behave as

one, multi-ported shared drive

• No scripting or manual intervention

Zero downtime, Zero touch for Local & Stretched / Metro Clusters

Configuration Options


Configuration Options: Overview• Internal Storage Capacity

– Only SAS front bays are available. Free bay count depends on base model– No external RAID controller ports

• Ports & Connectivity– All models ship with 6 x 10Gb iSCSI ports as standard

- 3 x dual-port Intel x540-T2 (default)- or 3 x dual-port Intel x520-DA2 (via CTO only)

– Total of 2 PCIe slots available for expansion; iSCSI, FC, or SAS HBA options*

• Processors– CPU type is fixed and cannot be upgraded (neither CTO nor Field)

* GA+30 Support


Expansion: Internal Storage

• Supported Drive Types– Any 2.5in SAS model certified for the x3650 M5– HDDs and SSDs that ship with DX8200D recommended

• RAID Setup (field upgrade)– Should reflect RAID level and set size of base models

- SSD = R1, HDD = R5 (4d +1p)• Post-Deployment Upgrades

– New storage will not be automatically configured
