EMC’s CX4 Value Propositions

Take cost out of the business without sacrificing performance and scalability by consolidating twice the workload in a single system—optimizing storage capacity—and by protecting investments

The CLARiiON CX4 series’ power-saving technologies help manage energy consumption and consolidate data storage.

CLARiiON CX4 systems provide industry-leading availability and protection by combining CLARiiON’s proven Five 9s availability with built-in support for concurrent local and remote (CLR) replication.

CLARiiON’s unique hardware and software capabilities and integration with VMware extends the value of virtualized server environments.

Even EMC Issues Warnings About Thin Provisioning

• “Conceptually, thin provisioning is a file system overlaid onto these traditional RAID groups. This file system imparts enough overhead to affect thin provisioned LUN performance. Thinly provisioned LUNs should not be used in workloads requiring high performance.”

Quotes from: “EMC CLARiiON Performance and Availability: Release 28 Firmware Update – Applied Best Practices” Published September, 2008

EMC/Dell CX3-Series Lacks Back-End RAS

46 IBM Confidential

• IBM employs Top-Down Bottom-Up cabling for enhanced RAS

• Survive a drive enclosure failure

• EMC says they do not daisy chain their systems

• The CX3 installation guides show they do daisy chain

Diagram from ”EMC CLARIiON CX3-Series Model 80 Setup Guide” – Rev. A01

• With the first (connecting) enclosure down, access is cut off to the remaining daisy chained drive enclosures.

• EMC encourages vertical striping of RAID groups for maximum RAS & performance

• In this example the user would have experience a triple failure in every RAID group

• RAID 6 would not save them from losing the entire system

• The same scenario with a DS4000/DS5000 would have resulted in one lost enclosure

IBM Systems



What To Anticipate From EMC

• Increasing VMware orientation • Backup• Remote Mirroring• and more

• Aggressive hardware pricing• Software, in all forms, will make up the margin differences

• EMC’s ability to perform non-disruptive upgrades• “You should not perform a software upgrade (NDU) when the overall

utilization of all processors is more than 50 percent• Factors that may impact this include:

• Heavy I/O activity• Large numbers of LUNs on FLARE database drives (slots 0_0, 0_1, 0_2

or 0_3)• Heavy administrative activity”

• UltraFlex I/O modules“I/O modules and SFPs can be added and replaced, but they cannot be changed to a different type

• Additions require customer action and replacements require a service engagement

• Ports cannot be deleted.”

• Limited flexibility and tuning due to current virtualization scheme

• EVAs lack flexible host ports

• Extremely limited investment protection• Only supports 2Gb/s on the drive side• No SATA support for EVA• FATA only available at 2Gb/s

• Lacks real world performance• Will not submit SPC-1 benchmarks (IOPS) for EVA8x00 series • IBM DS5000 delivers nearly 4x the SPC-2 (MB/s) of the EVA8x00

• Very difficult to achieve HA configurations without big money• Redundancy at drive enclosure level is difficult to achieve

• Ease of management

• Intuitive user interface

• High performance, high capacity and high availability

• Solution saves time, space and management costs

High Performance

IBM Systems



Quick Note On Random Performance

• When examining a system’s random performance it is essential to know what latency looks like for a given performance level

• Latency is the time it takes for a system to deal with an IO

• As workloads & IOPS increase so too does latency

• The Storage Performance Council membership agree that latencies in excess of 30ms are too slow to be considered real world

• Microsoft states latencies on Exchange shouldn’t exceed 20ms

• 20ms is a combination of storage + network + server latencies

• The Storage Performance Council’s SPC-1 test helps graphically demonstrate a system’s real ability to handle heavy workloads while delivering sufficiently low latencies

HP Claims EVA8100Is 24% Faster ThanThe Previous EVA8000

• 168,000 x 1.24% = 208,320

Information in chart from URL -Information in chart from URL - http://h30099.www3.hp.com/configurator/catalog-storagemerged.asp

IBM Systems



HP Claims 24%

• HP, with the EVA5000, achieved an SPC-1 benchmark results of...

• 20,095 SPC-1 IOPS

• An LRT of 2.36ms

• Tested 2.6TB out of 6.1TB

• Used RAID 1 mirroring

• At a cost of $23.88 per IOPS

• Used 168 drives

• If they could have continued to gain IOPS up to the full 240 drives they would have achieved 28,800 IOPS

IBM Systems



So If An EVA5000 Could Achieve 28,800 IOPS

• HP very forthrightly claimed 48,000 saturation IOPS for EVA5000

• HP very forthrightly claimed 54,000 saturation IOPS for EVA8000, a 12.5% gain

• HP now says the new EVA8100 is 24% faster than the EVA8000

• IF they could achieve 28,800 SPC-1 IOPS on the EVA5000 with 240 drives, then...

• 28,800 x 1.125 = 32,400 IOPS for the EVA8000 with 240 drives

• And...

• 32,400 x 1.24 = 40,176 IOPS for the EVA8100 with 240 drives

• However...

• IBM HAS achieved 58,158 IOPS, and has done so with 256 drives

• No one knows if HP really can continue to gain IOPS right up to the 240th drive because they will not benchmark it. Therefore it is quite likely that they will run out of horsepower long before they the mythical 40,176 IOPS on the EVA8100, which is nearly 20,000 IOPS slower (45%) than the proven performance of the DS5300.

Quick Note On Sequential Performance

• When examining sequential performance it is essential to know how many drives are required for a given performance level

• With power requirements becoming a critical issue the overall efficiency of a storage system is becoming increasingly important

• Whichever systems can deliver greater performance with fewer drives have a decided value benefit for most prospective customers

• The Storage Performance Council’s SPC-2 benchmark measures 3 different types of sequential activity & provides a “value” number (price/performance) to help customers make wise choices

EMC Reports Low Useable Capacity For EVAs*

• HP EVA – 47% Storage Capacity Efficiency

• The EVA provides a very wide number of options in balancing performance, usable capacity and availability. Unlike other arrays such as the CX4 (editorial: or IBM DS3000/DS4000/DS5000), once these choices are made, changing them can be very disruptive.

Editorial Note: This is an example of where EVAs are not easy to use

• The EVA is built around the concept of "disk groups". HP recommends that separate disk groups be used to isolate performance characteristics. The more distinct high I/O apps you put on an EVA, the more disk groups. For certain cases like Exchange and Oracle, HP recommends that data and logs be separated to different disk groups.

Editorial Note: The smallest disk group must contain 8 disk drives, which means a lot of wasted (lost) capacity occurs.

Lets look at…

High Availability

IBM Systems



EVA Availability Is Subject To The Rule Of Eight

• A Virtual Disk Pool can be as large as the entire storage system but cannot be any smaller than 8 drives in size

• Redundant Storage Sets (RSS) can be as small as 6 drives & as large as 11 drives but they always try to “lock in” at 8 drives

• To achieve redundancy at the enclosure level, under RAID 5, an EVA must have 8 drive enclosures.

• An enclosure failure with fewer than eight drive trays will likely result in complete loss of data availability

EVAs Aren’t Easy To Manage If Anything Goes Awry

• Automatic isn’t always automatic

• If the storage system contains disk drives of different capacities, the SSSU procedures used do not guarantee that disk drives of the same capacity will be exclusively added to the same disk group. If you need to restore an array configuration that contains disks of different sizes and types, you must manually recreate these disk groups. The controller software and the utility’s CAPTURE CONFIGURATION command are not designed to automatically restore this type of configuration.

Maintaining HA In EVAs Requires A Lot Of Attention

• Adding disk drives is not a simple matter like it is with DS5000• Guidelines for adding disk drives

• When adding new disk drives to the storage system, you should ensure that the disk drives are installed in the correct positions to maintain availability (Rule of Eight coming into play)

• The disk drives should be distributed evenly across the disk enclosures. The number of disks of a given type in each enclosure should not differ by more than one. For example, no enclosure should have two disks until all the other enclosures have at least one.

• Disk drives should be installed in vertical columns within the disk enclosures. Add drives in multiples of eight, completely filling columns if possible. Disk groups are more robust with the same number of disk drives in each enclosure.

IBM Systems



Just Adding Disks In EVAs Can Be Complicated

• Creating disk groups• The new disks you add will typically be used to create new disk groups.

Although you cannot select which disks will be part of a disk group, you can control this by building the disk groups sequentially. Add the disk drives required for the first disk group, and then create a disk group using these disk drives. Now add the disk drives for the second disk group, and then create that disk group. This process gives you control over which disk drives are included in each disk group

• CAUTION:• When adding disks to an expansion cabinet on an EVA8000/8100, do

not install a disk in bays 12, 13, or 14 in enclosures 17, 20, or 24. These bays in enclosures 17, 20, and 24 do not receive a hard assigned AL_PA. Installing a disk in any of these slots may impact the operation of the storage system.


IBM Systems



HP Recommends Only One Drive Type & Capacity

• HP recommends using the same drive type (the same capacity) within a disk group because virtualization allocates space proportionate to the highest capacity drive within the group.

• FATA drives are designed for lower duty cycle applications such as near on-line data replication for back-up. These drives should not be used as a replacement for EVA's high performance, standard duty cycle, Fibre Channel drives. Doing so could shorten the life of the drive.

• A minimum of eight FATA drives are required in a configuration.


IBM Systems



Is Anything Really Easy To Manage On An EVA?

• Replacing disk drives – not such a simple matter either• Replacing a disk drive

• Before replacing a disk, check the redundancy status of the entire storage system to ensure a disk can be removed without impacting data availability.

• The following conditions must all have the indicated states before the disk is removed.

• Requested usage & Actual usage — Ungrouped. See Figure 53.• NOTE:• You should only ungroup one disk at a time. Before you ungroup a

disk, verify that leveling is not in progress and that sufficient free space is available. After you ungroup the disk, verify the status of the disk group before continuing.

• NOTE:• The ungrouping process may take up to several hours to

complete. The time depends on the capacity of the disk and the level of storage system activity.

What To Anticipate From HP

• Heterogeneous storage virtualization• HP has announced the introduction of Het Virtualization for 2009• Will enable them to virtualize multiple EVAs in one system• Will enable them to virtualize competing systems

• Combat this ability with SVC

• Constant pressure regarding the EVA’s ease-of-use• Combat this by discussing their numerous restrictions • Combat this by pointing out their difficulties when things aren’t

running perfectly on the EVA

• Statements that the EVA has tremendous disk utilization via their internal virtualization process

• Combat this with EMC’s capacity documentation along with pointing out the inefficiencies of HP’s internal virtualization process

Top 3 Takeaways For EMC

• IBM, not EMC, is the only vendor who has publicly proven the ability of their storage systems to handle high-performance VMware mixed workloads

• IBM, not EMC, provides balanced levels of storage scaling & performance making them the best storage systems for corporate data-consolidation programs

• IBM, unlike EMC, supports all facets of a solution:• Low-cost heterogeneous storage virtualization• High-performance storage• Global service & support• Tape systems• Software• Servers

103

IBM Systems



Top 3 Takeaways For HP

• IBM, not HP, has management that is easy to use but more importantly is also full-featured. IBM systems allow easy capacity upgrades and easy maintenance

• IBM DS5000 storage, unlike HP EVA storage, provides maximum amounts of useable capacity. HP EVA’s much like NetApp FAS systems have poor useable capacity.

• IBM, not HP, provides balanced levels of storage scaling & performance making them the best storage systems for corporate data-consolidation programs

What We Might Say About CX4 Value Proposition #1

• Take cost out of the business without sacrificing performance and scalability by consolidating twice the workload in a single system—optimizing storage capacity—and by protecting investments.

This is everyone’s intention. The real question is whether they can achieve the objective with their new CX4 hardware and software. The DS5000 series clearly demonstrates the ability to handle massive workloads. Public benchmarks have taken guessing out of the equation and replaced it with fact.

• DS5000 series have demonstrated the ability to deliver balanced performance (IOPS & MB/s) for use in consolidating mixed workloads like Exchange, Oracle, SAP, SQL, VMware and others.

• DS5000 does more…with less. A better TCO with a faster ROI

107 IBM Confidential

IBM Systems




• The CLARiiON CX4 series’ power-saving technologies help manage energy consumption and consolidate data storage.

Once again this is the objective that everyone is attempting to deliver. EMC has produced some nice tools but an examination of their systems help indicate they will likely cost their users more money in energy costs than systems from IBM

• IBM has greater storage efficiency (drive/controller performance)

• Proven with SPC-1 (IOPS) and SPC-2 (MB/s) results

• Doing more with fewer storage assets = lower energy use

• IBM allows drive intermixing within enclosures, thus enabling fully redundant configurations with ½ the enclosures

• IBM carries this same green message to servers for a total solution


IBM Systems




• CLARiiON CX4 systems provide industry-leading availability and protection by combining CLARiiON’s proven Five 9s availability with built-in support for concurrent local and remote (CLR) replication.

This is clearly a strong thrust in EMC’s message and should be considered by anyone seeking maximum protection. However, this is the same message carried by IBM, HDS, HP and others. At this level of competition everyone is declaring Five 9s of availability and careful implementations will deliver that.

• DS5000 does not suffer from issues like…

• “Write Cache Disablement” due to a failed drive in the first enclosure

• “Write Cache Disablement” due to a failed power supply

• Loss of back-end due to unexpected loss of a FC loop


IBM Systems




• CLARiiON’s unique hardware and software capabilities and integration with VMware extends the value of virtualized server environments.

VMware is the buzzword of 2007/2008. There are many users who have yet to implement VMware, but there are numerous users who have. This is an area of increasing importance and one in which IBM has assumed a leadership position.

• IBM is, and has been, one of the largest promoters of VMware.

• IBM DS3000, DS4000 & now DS5000 are supported by VMware

• IBM recently won a 2500 unit order based around VMware support

• IBM Enhanced Remote Mirroring with Site Recovery Manager solution
