1 Hitachi Unified Storage and Hitachi NAS Platform Performance Optimization with Flash Acceleration Nick Jarvis Director, File, Content and Cloud Solutions August 14,

2 WEBTECH EDUCATIONAL SERIES HITACHI UNIFIED STORAGE AND HITACHI NAS PLATFORM PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION WITH FLASH ACCELERATION Hitachi Unified Storage (HUS) VM and Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform (VSP) flash technology helps increase performance and decrease total disk quantity while lowering power, cooling, and space costs. Attend this WebTech to learn more about how to optimize Hitachi Unified Storage and Hitachi NAS Platform (HNAS) performance using flash acceleration, SSD storage, and other technologies By attending this webcast, you ll learn how to Increase HUS and HNAS performance by using flash technology Identify key technologies and products needed to achieve optimum results Locate and tune key parameters necessary for performance optimization

3 Drivers for High-Performance Storage

4 FLASH USE CASES SUPPORTS APPLICATIONS THAT REQUIRE RANDOM WORKLOADS File Shares (unstructured) SQL Server Database Analytics Apps (Unix/Linux) VMware/VDI environments Oracle Database (Red Hat/OVM) File System NFS/CIFS CSV/NTFS GPFS/GFS HDFS/JFFS VMFS OCFS/GFS All of the above applications generate high random read/write IO and require low latency. Match use cases to flash implementations to deliver on performance promises at lowest possible overall system cost

5 WHY ARE RANDOM IOPS WORKLOADS CRITICAL? I/O workloads are either random (many concurrent accesses to relatively small blocks of data) or streaming (sequential data transfers) Historically, random access has been associated with transactional workloads, which often represent an enterprise s most critical IT operations Adoption of scale-out architectures with networked storage drivers for scale-out include server and desktop virtualization, database consolidation, complex analytics, and data warehousing Even workloads that appear to be sequential from an individual application s point of view actually become random as they interact with other workloads using advanced disk array capabilities like de-clustered RAID, thin provisioning, and automatic storage tiering

6 FUNDAMENTAL STORAGE PERFORMANCE CHANGES AVAILABLE Yesterday s High Performance Today s High Performance A single Hitachi Accelerated Flash storage module can deliver 500X more IOPS than a single high-performance disk drive

7 A PARADIGM SHIFT IN PERFORMANCE APPROXIMATE PER-DEVICE PERFORMANCE POTENTIAL Traditional Disk Drives Solid State Capacity Capacity Drives Performance Drives Commodity SSD Hitachi Accelerated Flash storage IOPS , ,000 Resp. Time (milliseconds)

8 HITACHI INNOVATION: FLASH CAPACITY HITACHI ACCELERATED FLASH STORAGE Unique and patented Hitachi technology High-bandwidth, multicore architecture allows high density and predictable performance Industry improvements regarding Enterprise durability with cost-effective capacity Highest device density 5X device IOPS to SSD CPU and Flash Management Engine Block/Page Mapping Performance Manager Wear Leveling Contiguous Block Write Avoidance 100+ Related Patents Granted or Pending Data Refresh Endurance Manager

9 FLEXIBILITY FOR APPLICATIONS Adopting an ALL-IN-ONE enterprise storage platform provides Hitachi flash acceleration Firmware that has been re-engineered to increase scalability for host I/O processing on exiting VSP and HUS VM Can also be implemented without the need of SSD or Hitachi Accelerated Flash; however, adding either of these will provide performance improvements Hitachi Accelerated Flash (HAF) The HDS flash memory controller (HAF) is a multi-core, high-bandwidth architecture that uses block and page mapping, wear leveling, an endurance manager, and inline write compression that results in up to 94% write reduction Hitachi custom designed and built Hitachi Dynamic Tiering (HDT) hybrid storage Utilize automated sub-lun dynamic tiering for pooling storage resources for application host access Thin provisioning capability for efficient storage utilization and better performance Storage virtualization Virtualize up to 100+ external storage arrays and obtain the benefits of preserving existing assets, migration, and/or consolidation for management

10 HITACHI INNOVATION: FLASH ACCELERATION SOFTWARE REENGINEERING TO EXPLOIT FLASH CAPABILITIES 30+ fundamental software changes to turbo-charge performance with flash New express I/O processing Higher internal thread count support Improved wide striping capability Hitachi Storage Significant performance impacts Up to 65% reduction in response time Up to 2X Hitachi Dynamic Provisioning (HDP) scalability Nondisruptive installation and transparent to current applications HUS VM and VSP Optimized for Flash Today
