3 The Challenge Continuous availability for applications and data are critical to business success High-availability systems can meet this need Continuously available software and hardware platforms are designed to support transparent failover (planned or unplanned) without data loss HA needs robust shared storage; however, SAN is complicated and expensive 3 High-availability systems are costly and difficult to buy, install, and manage
4 Microsoft Windows Server 2012 Meeting the Need Major investments made to Server 2012 to lower cost and simplify HA Continuous availability depends on Windows Failover Clustering to survive node failure All cluster nodes active (dual-active) Transparent failover does not require admin attention to continue normal operation Windows shared storage enabled with inexpensive JBOD via: SAS HBA / Windows Storage Spaces Syncro / Hardware RAID HA solutions built on Windows Server 2012 with low-cost JBOD Shared DAS 4
5 The Integrated, Validated and Tested Solution A continuously available system using clustered ThinkServer systems and shared storage using ThinkServer SA120 JBOD High availability with Lenovo ThinkServer, ThinkServer SA120 DAS, LSI Syncro and Windows Server 2012 Windows Server 2012 makes it easy and inexpensive Failover clustering Support for shared storage with JBOD Syncro adds resiliency to data with hardware RAID capability in clustered environments 5
6 Used as a High-Availability Storage Cluster Continuously available file share storage for server applications such as Microsoft SQL Server and Hyper- V virtual machines Centralized networked file services for general use continuous access to SMB and NFS file shares and iscsi storage targets 6
7 Storage Cluster Configuration Scenarios Hyper-V Cluster Hyper-V Host Hyper-V Host Hyper-V Host Application Server Clients Scale-out file server for application data Dual redundant paths General purpose file server Failover Cluster Failover Cluster File Server File Server File Server File Server Dual redundant paths Shared JBOD Shared JBOD 7
8 Used as a High-Availability Application Cluster Highly available clustered roles running on physical servers or on virtual machines that are installed on the servers running Hyper-V 8
9 Application Cluster Configuration Scenario Clients Clients Clients Hyper-V Cluster Failover Cluster Dual redundant paths (optional) Hyper-V Hyper-V Dual redundant paths Shared JBOD 9
10 Syncro Target Markets Business in a Box Branch in a Box Remote and Branch Offices Affordably extends the datacenter with centralized control Government Address datacenter sprawl while empowering remote users and agencies Small Business & Healthcare Power the office with better performance, manageability, reliability and security Retail & Hospitality Real-time and reliable management of every part of the business Education Empower points of education with security and governance Traditional Enterprise Small Private cloud-in-a-box LSI Syncro is perfect for small and medium businesses who need a high availability solution on a budget and without expertise to deploy a high availability server cluster 10
11 Customer Scenarios!? Problems IT Admin Infrastructure Workload What s Needed Examples Business in a Box Server Failure means lost productivity and sales Cannot afford traditional high availability Part-time (IT not primary job function) Generalist May get assistance from VAR Office environment equipment room ISP network connection Hyper-V appliance supporting all business apps and data, e.g., point of sale, inventory, documents/re cords Affordable Highavailability Doctor s office Individual retail store Lawyer s office Design / Architecture consulting office Branch in a Box No IT on-site, remote office server is not robust Remote applications are slow and inflexible Centralized at HQ Primarily remote support Local assistance as required Office environment equipment room Domainconnected to main office Hyper-V appliance running replicated branch workloads, with LOB applications, file server, and cached data Localization of applications and fail-proof robust servers Retail chain stores Bank branches 11
12 Solution Benefits Rivals function, capability, and performance of advanced architectures at a fraction of the cost Syncro Solutions Network Storage SW- Based Solutions OS based Solutions Can achieve similar levels of reliability, availability, manageability, and performance expected of solutions using a SAN Solution $$ Performance Reduced complexity without the need for additional IT expertise 12
