2 Is VMware really losing market share to the growing competition? 2
3 Competitive Growing competition Landscape for VMware in the virtualization market space Hypervisor War Native Technology Incumbents & Startups Microsoft continues Hyper-V growth, catching up to VMware Virtualization Wars: Vmware vs. Hyper-V: Which is Right For Your Virtual Environment? SMB 3.0 brings enterprise-class storage to Hyper-V deployments Windows Storage Spaces and ReFS: Is it time to ditch RAID for good? EMC XtremeSF: Delivering Next Generation Storage Performance for SQL Server Running SQL Server on all-flash crushes storage latency, enabling 3-5x better transactional thoughput and dramatically simplifies operations PureStorage 3
4 So is it really Enterprise Ready? Almost, so what are the real challenges? Enterprise. lets make it so.. Ehem.. 4
5 Challenges in Windows Hyper-V Environments Application Uptime VM VM VM VM VM VM VM VM VM VM VM VM VM VM VM VM VM VM VM VM VM VM VM VM VM VM VM App App App App App App App App App App App IO Bottlenecks VM VM VM VM VM VM VM VM VM VM Increasing VM (& app) consolidation ratio Storage growth, Increasing LUN sizes Storage Efficiency Create, delete, migrate of VMs & storage Maximize Application Availability Storage Pooling I/O Performance Application uptime Cost-effective VM/application centric storage management Leverage Flash and improve latency and throughput in physical/virtual Maximize Application uptime Building Enterprise Class Hyper-V Solutions with Symantec SYMANTEC VISION
6 Enabling Enterprise Storage features with Hyper-V 6
7 Microsoft Infrastructure-as-a-Service Storage Vision 2x Increased throughput 5x Increased capacity Dramatically lowering the costs and effort of delivering IaaS storage services Disaggregated compute and storage Independent manage and scale at each layer Industry standard servers, networking and storage Inexpensive networks Inexpensive shared JBOD storage 3x Reduced cost 6x Reduction in servers Hyper-V Clusters SMB Scale-Out File Server Clusters Storage Spaces Virtualization and Resiliency Shared JBOD Storage PowerShell & SCVMM 2012 R2 Management 7
8 Microsoft Comparison with Hardware Array Enterprise-Grade Capabilities Traditional Storage with FC/iSCSI Storage Array Storage Tiering Data deduplication RAID resiliency groups Pooling of disks High availability Persistent write-back cache Copy offload Snapshots with File Server & Storage Spaces Data deduplication (enhanced with R2) Flexible resiliency options (enhanced with R2) Pooling of disks Continuous availability Persistent write-back cache (new with R2) SMB copy offload Snapshots Windows Storage Building Enterprise Class Hyper-V Solutions with Symantec SYMANTEC VISION 2014
9 Microsoft Storage Pools Capabilities Pooling of disks Flexible resilient storage spaces Native data striping Enclosure awareness with certified hardware Parallelized rebuild utilizes spare pool capacity Data Integrity Scanner Periodic background scan detects latent corruptions, auto-corrects where possible Integration with both NTFS and ReFS Thin Provisioning Deduplication Storage Spaces Mirror Space Mirror Space Mirror Space Parity Space Physical Disks from Shared SAS JBODs Storage Pools 9
10 Symantec Storage Foundation Windows v/s Microsoft Storage Pools Storage Foundation for Windows Microsoft Storage Pools Storage Protocol Support Supports FC, iscsi, SAS, SSDs Use the existing SAN or new DAS infrastructure with equal easy Install & Upgrade Application data stored in a SFW Dynamic disk is forward compatible. Data stored with SFW 5.x/6.x can be directly accessed after upgrade. Enclosure Awareness Application data can be mirrored across arrays to protect from enclosure failures. Grow/shrink of volumes are done respecting the array boundaries. Storage Migration Migrate application data from one enclosure online no vendor specific support required. Storage Protocol Support Supports only SAS based storage. Does not support FC or iscsi Install & Upgrade Disks added to Storage Pools get formatted. Existing data gets lost Costly and complex way to preserve existing data 1. New disks added to a storage pool. 2. Xcopy data from the original disks Enclosure Awareness Complex and limited protection from array failures. Storage Migration Depend on ODX support from array vendors to do online storage migration. 10
11 Symantec Storage Management for Hyper-V Virtual Machines Storage Foundation Storage Pools Storage Pools on Windows Storage Pools created under the FailOver Cluster Volume as a unit-of-failover VHDs stored on resilient volume Seamless integration into Ecosystem Failover Cluster aware storage pooling Integrated with native management workflows (FoC Mgr, SCVMM, Hyper-v Mgr, Server Mgr) Supporting all native Hyper-V VM capabilities ( e.g. Live/Quick Migration) Live Migrate Hyper-V Virtual Machine VHDs would lie on SFW Volumes Coexist with CSV 1 VM mapped to SFW Volume(s).

12 How SFW helped Hyper-V win over VMware Business Objective VMware based Solution Provide a low cost scale-out virtualization solution Provide DR with least RPO Protect against array failures Drawbacks with Competing Solution Costly Hypervisor : Storage : Replication : DR Orchestration : Or vmsc Certified : VMWare EMC Array (VMAX) SRDF license Site Recovery Manager (SRM) VPLEX/SVC/NetApp/Dell SFW + Hyper-V based solution Winning Points with SFW + Hyper-V Create a Stretched Cluster (Campus Cluster) with FoC and SFW No separate Replication product required No separate Orchestration required No certified solution required Hyper-V less costly than VMWare 12
13 Enabling Enterprise use of SSD with Hyper-V 13
14 Symantec SFW SmartIO v/s Tiered Storage & Write-Back-Caching SmartIO Tiered Storage & WBC IO Performance Physical : 3x improvement in IO performance under a true OLTP workload - TPCe Virtual : 2.5x improvement in IO performance when SQL hosted inside Hyper-V VMs (each running TPCe) Failure Protection If the PCIe SSD fails, application data is not lost as the data is written to the HDD. In case of Clustered environment, a node loss would not result into application data lost Live Migration Support LM will continue to work as VM data is always available on all nodes of the cluster IO Performance ( Work in Progress) ( Most of the numbers shown by Microsoft are not OLTP type workloads) Failure Protection In the PCIe SSD fails there is application data lost. If the SSD is mirrored the IO performance is not predictable. In case of a node failure, if the data resides on PCIe SSD, that data will not be available on the other nodes. Write Back Caching is not cluster aware Live Migration Support Can Storage Tiering & Write-Back-Caching support VM Live Migration? 14
15 SmartIO: SSD as a Cache Details VM VM Block Level Read Cache Intelligently cache reads. Write-Through Cache no data-loss in case of SSD failures. Will work in a clustered environment DataVHDs DataVHDs DataVHDs DataVHDs Deployment Enabled for all volumes No application reconfiguration required transparent & seamless integration SFWVol SFWVol SFWVol SSD Operations SSD Online Enable/Disable cache One Default cache for all volumes Read Cache User can create a separate Volume specific Cache.

Multiple SQL instances on a single physical server DataVHDs DataVHDs DataVHDs DataVHDs Single instance SQL hosted inside Hyper-V Virtual Machines Improve SQL IO Performance in a clustered Environment Internal (PCIe) SSD drives used as storage cannot be used as shared storage Large SQL databases with SmartIO cache on internal SSDs could be used in a clustered environment.
