7 The Right Tool For the Job Microseconds, not Milliseconds. Database: Logs (redo/undo) Tables Temp files Indexes Represent about 80% of disk or I/O activity, but only about 2-5% of all their data RamSan 60/1000 s of a millisecond (60 MICROseconds)

9 How to Make the World s Fastest Storage Build the system with a hardware-only data path Custom FPGA-based data movement decreases latency vs. software Distributed out-of-data-path CPU processing You cannot increase performance by adding lines of code. Our Symmetrix-VMAX Enginuity consists of millions of lines of code.

15 Best in Class Durability Superior Technology Using the Right Flash Program / Erase Cycles 100 K 3X Superior Engineering Longer Life Variable Striping Restriping at the Die Level No System Rebuild 80 K 60 K 40 K 20 K 0 K 10X MLC emlc SLC Within & Across Flash Modules Deep Engineering Innovation Wear Leveling; Voltage & Timing Adjustments +++ Source: IBM Estimates

16 2D Flash RAID (RamSan-720/820) External Interfaces (FC, IB) Interface Interface RAID Controllers RAID Controller RAID Controller RAID 5 within Flash Modules (9 data + 1 parity) TMS 2D Flash RAID RAID 5 across Flash Modules (10 data + 1 parity + 1 hot spare)

17 Variable Stripe RAID, (VSR) Patented VSR allows RAID stripe sizes to vary. If one die fails in a ten-chip stripe, only the failed die is bypassed, and then data is restriped across the remaining nine chips. Higher availability; Fewer maintenance events due to flash failures; Preserves performance over time 10 Chips 16 Planes FAIL

18 CASE STUDIES

19 UFC knocks out video production bottlenecks with Flash storage Business challenges Fast delivery requirement of massive amounts of video in hundreds of derivatives (130 platforms). Operations affected by heavy transcoding load. Constraint on amount of content UFC can transcode and deliver to its partners. Overall production output affected by disk slowdown. Solution Implemented the RamSan-710. Deployed into production environment within a day. Benefits Reduced load on disk storage that was impacting other operations by 40 percent. Time for transcoding jobs dropped by up to 70 percent. Within a day we were able to get it running in a production environment without a huge change in the infrastructure. There was nothing we had to change in code or workflow. We just pointed all the transcoders to the new StorNext volume on the RamSan instead of volumes on the spinning disk arrays. The fact that it played so nicely with StorNext was a huge benefit. Danny Gold Vice President, Strategy and Solutions Levels Beyond

20 Penn State slashes backup time by 80 percent IBM General Parallel File System (GPFS) Business challenges RCC needed to speed up nightly backups. Solution Use of Flash array (RamSan 810 for metadata) instead of continuing to increase the number traditional disk spindles. Backup Time 80% Benefits Instant 6 times performance increase in nightly backup. Two 1U Flash arrays replaced 200 power-hungry 15K hard disks. Reduced power consumption by 90 percent. Flash delivers affordable high speed and reliability. Requires less power to operate, produces less heat, and consumes less rack space. Power 90% Response Time 80% With the RamSan we literally just turned it on and that s all the performance tuning we did. It just worked out of the box. Michael Fenn Systems Administrator Penn State it made sense to go with a Flash media array rather than continuing to throw traditional disk spindles at the problem.
