DataCore SANsymphony-V Software-Defined Storage The intelligent way of data virtualizing!
A practical example 2
Setting the scene Car components suppliers in Latvia 500 worker Additional fabrics in Asia Central merchandise management system Recently migrated to a private cloud incl. Expansion of the storage system 4
Setting the scene current state Private Cloud DataCenter A 5
Setting the scene the position Since implementation of the private cloud massively performance problems User complain about long reactions from input and system requests Short time ago a complete system down caused by expansion of the production fabric 6
Setting the scene - analysis Due the system down it showed the scary missing redundancy The outage had financial and consequence of the reputation The result of the performance analysis: the storage is the cause of the problem The IT department is under pressure 7
Setting the scene - parameters Increase of availability Crash of a facility or building as happened shouldn t result in a complete down time of the IT Elimination of the performance problem Existing systems must be used in the future Only short outage for a possible migration / integration 8
Software-Defined Storage - what is it? 9
Storage Market in Midst of Disruption 1985 2000 Today CHALLENGES Server Storage Server Storage Server Storage Flash Hyper-converged Systems Too many incompatible devices NAS SAN NAS SAN New software for every device Flash Arrays Hybrid Arrays Silos of storage Cloud Management 10
Why Software-defined Storage? The right software must be able to do a few things 1 Enable different storage devices to communicate with one another 2 Separate advances in software from advances in hardware 3 Pool all storage capacity and provide centralized management Make hardware maintenance, data migrations, and hardware 4 refreshes easy 11
Software-defined Storage the idea Any application Transparent software layer add benefits Any storage 12
Introducing SANsymphony -V10 Cross-device Storage Services Define Your Storage 10 th generation product Runs on standard x86 servers Most comprehensive hardware agnostic storage stack in the industry 25,000+ deployments worldwide Auto-tiering Asynchronous Replication Virtual SAN Storage Pooling Storage Load Balancing Random Write Accelerator Quality of Service (QoS) Centralized Management Synchronous Mirroring Adaptive Caching Thin Provisioning Data Migration Snapshots Continuous Data Protection NAS/SAN (Unified Storage) Analysis & Reporting 13
How could the solution look like? 14
Fundamental solution statement Software layer for all storage value-added services Existing storage hardware could be integrated trouble-free Increase of performance by disk pooling, load distribution and seamless integration of flash based products Availability across sites due to synchronous mirroring 15
We remember: current state Private Cloud DataCenter A 16
Transformation: building redundancy Private Cloud SSV-2 Disk Pool DataCenter A DataCenter B 17
Rebuild DataCenter A Private Cloud Private Cloud SSV-2 Disk Pool DataCenter A DataCenter B 18
High available Private Cloud Private Cloud vdisk Disk Pool SSV-1 links for synchronous mirroring SSV-2 Disk Pool DataCenter A DataCenter B 19
Auto-Tiering in action Private Cloud Auto-Tiering vdisk Disk Pool SSV-1 links for synchronous mirroring SSV-2 Disk Pool DataCenter A DataCenter B 20
Which of the required targets are achieved? Protect existing investments due to seamless integration in the new solution Inexpensively removal of the performance problem due to intelligent usage of flash memory Real site redundancy with high failure tolerance and automatism for failure or disaster scenario No downtime for implementation 21
Additional benefits of the solution Time of investments are extreme flexible because Expansion and hardware change without downtime at any time possible SDS licenses are not bound to the used hardware Functional scope spanned over all vendors Free choice of vendors and technologies for backend and network/san 22

DataCore is implemented 24
One year later 25
We remember Car components suppliers in Latvia By now 600 worker Additional fabrics in Asia Central merchandise management system Availability and performance was clearly improved with DataCore SANsymphony-V (SDS) New sites for production are in planning 26
Task New production plants for Mexico and Germany Central IT, but access to internet is not reliable Control of production must be available! There must be IT in the sites for production Each approx. 15 Server and approx. 10 TB of data Data should be redundant in the site itself but also available in the main site 27
Could SDS also help here too? 28
Hyperconverged Systems in sites converting of DAS, Flash and SSDs into a virtual SAN Scale up to 64 Nodes Scale up to 64 PB Pools local storage resources for all to share Runs as a virtual machine Any hypervisor, any storage, any server Faster built-in server RAM for superior cache performance Lower cost since only 2 nodes needed for High Availability Flash is optional as Tier 1 storage 29
Disaster Recovery via replication 30
