EMC - XtremIO All-Flash Array evolution - Much more than high speed Carlos Marconi Systems Engineer Team Lead EMC SouthCone August 2015
Evolution of High End Systems and Storage Centralized Single servers Single applications 1985-1995 Direct Attached Dedicated Storage 10,000s IOPs Reliability Availability Serviciability Distributed Multiple servers Multiple applications 1995-2005 Storage Area Networks Consolidated Storage 100,000s IOPs Disaster Recovery SLO + RTO + RPO Storage Administration Ease of Use Virtualized Virtualized servers Consolidated applications 2015 + Virtual Storage Virtual Storage 1,000,000s IOPs Green and Efficient ROI Ease and Speed of Use & Provisioning for cloud Appl & Dev/Test 24 x 7 x Forever Continuous / Auto tuning
Challenges of IT: It s all About The Business What if? Simplify your Storage landscape Lower your Opex for storage by 75% Reduce your Power/ cooling / footprint by 80%+ Eliminate storage Performance problems Forever Accelerate your Databases by 30%-50% Maximize your server core utilization Create FREE Test/dev and data-mart space
Big Data & Cloud Increasing IT Pressures Big Data Businesses are challenged to create more insight and value out of more data Four dimensions of Big Data applications to be addressed: Volume, Variety, Velocity IT infrastructures must not only be faster, but smarter Cloud Businesses want to maximize infrastructure efficiency to become more agile Goal: standardize and consolidate applications on shared infrastructures IT infrastructures must be more scalable and reliable than ever before Emerging applications demand faster, scalable, more reliable & SMARTER enterprise infrastructures
ACCELERATING Imbalance What could you do with Balanced CPU, Latency, IOPS? 10,000X CPU MOORE S LAW: CPU Performance Doubles Every 18 Months 100x 1,000X Performance Gap 2000 2010 2015 2020 HDD
Responses to storage performance gap Most Costly & Volatile Expensive & Ineffective for Storage Performance Issues Add More Memory Add CPUs Typical Performance Mitigation Tactics HDD Performance Enhancement Tune & Modify Application Wasteful, Expensive & Ineffective with Storage Latency Issues Time Consuming, Very Expensive & Risky
The CPU To HDD Performance Gap CPU Improves 100 Times Every Decade- Disk speed has not MOORE S LAW: 100X PER DECADE FLASH Closes The CPU To Storage Gap FLASH Follows Moore s Law And Can Keep Up With CPU Developments CONSTANT 100X IMPROVED FLASH 10,000X IMPROVED 2000 2010 2020
