1 BlueArc unified network storage systems 7th TF-Storage Meeting Scale Bigger, Store Smarter, Accelerate Everything
2 BlueArc s Heritage Private Company, founded in 1998 Headquarters in San Jose, CA Highest Performing NAS Server in the Industry Proven in the most demanding C HPC environments 6 th Generation Product Patented Hardware Accelerated Architecture Doubled performance and scale with each release
3 Storage Challenges Everyone needs to: Increase Delivered Performance and Capacity Scale for breakthrough differentiation Control Complexity and Simplify Administration Connect and manage thousands of elements Automate administration and optimization with smarter tools Achieve Cost Effectiveness and Reliability at Scale Optimize for the right technology use in the right place Meet space, power and cooling constraints BlueArc Corp. Proprietary and Confidential
4 Administration Work Flow in Higher Education / Academic Research Control Costs Optimize and consolidate Manage complexity $$$ and simplify administration Theoretical Models Instruments, Experiments Historical data Exponential Growth Combining new and existing data for analysis Many Researchers That Collaborate Information needs to be shared quickly without problems Long-term Archive Permanent Storage Campus / Worldwide Researchers Expedite Analysis Need to match performance of faster compute cluster Computational Cluster with Workspace Storage BlueArc Corp. Proprietary and Confidential
5 BlueArc s Technology Framework - Removes Data Storage Barriers Platforms SiliconFS File System Software Storage Ecosystem SAN BlueArc Corp. Proprietary and Confidential
6 BlueArc s File System: SiliconFS Common point of integration for all elements of a storage solution The central engine that manages all data movement Simultaneous access to native CIFS, NFS and iscsi Maps storage assets to applications, virtual clients or data life cycle Comprehensive virtualization tool set simplifies administration of file system Spans physical nodes, virtual servers and external devices Has advanced Metadata Optimization BlueArc Corp. Proprietary and Confidential
7 Metadata Optimization NEW! Cost-efficient performance is achieved by moving disk-intensive metadata ops to a high-speed storage tier Metadata operations can be 50% of all FS operations Lower cost SATA or NL-SAS for user data, 15K SAS or SSD for metadata Traditional file system all data on single storage Tier Multi tier file system Meta data and User data split Tier 1 High Speed SAS Disks Meta Data & User Data Meta Data Small Reads & Writes User Data Larger Reads & Writes Tier 0 High Speed SSD or SAS Disks Tier 1 Lower Cost NL-SAS or SATA Disks BlueArc Corp. Proprietary and Confidential
8 What is Metadata Focus on two types of metadata: Administrative metadata - This is essentially technical information about the data UNIX and/or Windows properties such as permissions/acls Ownership attributes Creation, modification and access dates and times Directories and their properties. Structural metadata - This is information about how the data is organized on the storage media. In the context of BlueArc SiliconFS this is object data as well as free space bitmaps and other object properties For more information about the structure and technology behind BlueArc file system see the SiliconFS whitepaper BlueArc Corp. Proprietary and Confidential
9 Benefits of Metadata Optimization Nearly every file system operation requires metadata Maintaining fast access to this metadata has a direct impact on performance. BlueArc servers use dedicated Metadata caches with very aggressive caching algorithms Metadata Optimization helps with: Minimize impact of metadata cache miss: Accelerated service of cache requests Quicker access to metadata on fast storage Maximize writing metadata to storage: Faster metadata writes with more efficient checkpoint process Higher efficiency when writing metadata & data in parallel to different tiers BlueArc Corp. Proprietary and Confidential
10 Where will Metadata Optimization help? Metadata Optimization can benefit many different applications & workloads. Heavy metadata workloads with a lot of metadata cache miss Write workloads that are metadata intensive BlueArc Replication, Tape Backup, and Data Migrator Directory listings with cold cache (significant benefit on directories with many files) Aged file systems (fragmented free space can cause more metadata random write IO) BlueArc Corp. Proprietary and Confidential
11 Implementing Metadata Optimization A Metadata Optimized Storage Pool contains two tiers of disk LUNs are designated as either tier 0 or tier 1 when the pool is created Tier 0 is considered fast storage, such as SSD or SAS drives Tier 1 is slower and denser storage, such as NLSAS/SATA Metadata is nearly always required for file system operations, separating it onto fast storage can greatly improve the responsiveness of the server. Isolating metadata IO (particularly write IO) from data IO can also improve performance of tier 1 storage due to the reduced workload on the disks BlueArc Corp. Proprietary and Confidential
