Trends driving software-defined storage

1 Software-defined storage. Redefined. Introduction to Hedvig Hedvig Executive Team February, 2015

2 Trends driving software-defined storage Data volumes grow. App requirements change. Users demand new services. Exponentially. Every year. Substantially. Every month. Constantly. Every day.

3 The storage problems of today Today s storage is broken. Cloud can t go mainstream yet. History repeats itself with big data As virtualization becomes ubiquitous, current SAN and NAS solutions fall short. Traditional storage and virtualization suffer a fundamental impedance mismatch. Infrastructure must be self-provisioned. But there isn t an elastic, scale-out storage choice with the necessary enterprisegrade features. NoSQL and big data apps create islands of storage in the data center. There is no viable storage platform to consolidate these environments. 3 Copyright 2014 Hedvig Inc. Confidential. Disaster recovery still doesn t work Protecting data is manual and expensive. Current storage solutions don t properly incorporate hybrid and public cloud capabilities.

4 Solution: A distributed systems approach 2012-present Avinash brings 10 years of experience in designing and operating the world s largest, most successful distributed systems to the storage market. 4 Copyright 2014 Hedvig Inc. Confidential.

5 5 What Hedvig built A commodity-based, distributed storage platform with full enterprise-grade functionality. > Scales to petabytes, all in software. > Provides block, file, and object storage. > Connects to any compute, runs in any cloud. Copyright 2014 Hedvig Inc. Confidential.

6 Hedvig redefines storage in seven ways Scale-out seamlessly with x86 or ARM Consolidate all protocols in one platform Support hyperconverged and hyperscale Run agnostic to any hypervisor or container Provide hybrid-aware DR, across any public cloud Provision storage with unprecedented flexibility and speed Make enterprise-grade storage features fundamental primitives

7 The Hedvig architecture Hedvig Virtual Disk Provides scalable abstraction layer for granular provisioning of enterprise storage functions Hedvig Controller Presents block, file, or object via a VM or Docker container in vsphere, Hyper-V, & KVM Hedvig Cluster Node Forms elastic cluster using any commodity server, array, or cloud storage

8 How Hedvig works VM VM VM VM VM VM VM VM VM iscsi NFS S3, Swift Hedvig cluster DC1 DC2 Cloud Admin provisions virtual disk & scripts or applies storage policies Virtual disk presents block, file, & object storage to Controllers, guests Controller captures guest I/O & communicates to underlying cluster Cluster automatically distributes & replicates data throughout nodes Cluster autotiers & autobalances across racks, datacenters, & clouds

9 Hedvig focuses on three primary use cases Virtualization Cloud Big data Deliver predictable performance at scale. Support multiple hypervisors (ESX, KVM and Hyper-V). Reduce CAPEX and OPEX significantly by replacing. multiple, proprietary appliances with commodity infrastructure. Start small and scale to thousands of nodes. Deploy secure private clouds in hours. Simplify hybrid clouds with integration of popular cloud and orchestration stacks. Manage VM-centric operations centrally to reduce OPEX. Enable virtualization of Hadoop and NoSQL to eliminate islands of storage. Start small and scale incrementally to TBs/day ingest rates. Simplify deployment to just a matter of hours. 9 Copyright 2014 Hedvig Inc. Confidential.
