6 Key Elements of Intelligent File Virtualization Must support a heterogeneous infrastructure Heterogeneous Scale and Performance Intelligent File Virtualization Real Time Integrity and Accessibility Multi-vendor, multi-platform, multiprotocol Must not limit performance or growth Faster than aggregate physical resources with scale for future Must ensure data integrity and accessibility No single point of failure Must support real-time policy enforcement In-line intelligence

8 Where Does Acopia Fit? NAS Users and Applications LAN Acopia File Virtualization SAN Virtualization SAN SAN IBM HP EMC HDS NTAP File Servers Plugs into existing IP / Ethernet switches Virtualizes heterogeneous file storage devices that present file systems via NFS and/or CIFS NAS, File Servers, Gateways Does not connect directly to SAN Can manage SAN data presented through a gateway or server No changes to existing infrastructure ARX appears as a normal NAS device to clients ARX appears as a normal CIFS or NFS client to storage SAN virtualization manages blocks, Acopia manages files Data management vs. storage management Blocks

How it Works 9 Virtual name is independent of where the file is actually stored u:\presentations\bod.ppt F5 File Virtualization Virtual Namespace Physical Namespace BoD.ppt Primary Storage (Tier 1) BoD.ppt Secondary Storage (Tier 2)

10 The Key for Storage Management and Optimization User / application access tightly coupled to physical file storage Inflexible: change is disruptive Complex: multiple mappings to heterogeneous storage devices Inefficient: low aggregate utilization

The Key for Storage Management and Optimization 11 User / application access tightly coupled to physical file storage Inflexible: change is disruptive Complex: multiple mappings to heterogeneous storage devices Inefficient: low aggregate utilization File access decoupled from physical storage location Flexible: change is non-disruptive Simple: single mapping to unified storage pool Efficient: maximize utilization

12 F5 ARX File Virtualization Offering Decouples access from physical file location Presents a Global Namespace view of the data a federation of the underlying file systems Masks changes to underlying storage systems from users and applications Automates common storage management tasks Migration Storage Tiering Load Balancing These tasks now take place without affecting access to the file data or requiring client re-configuration

13 Seamless Migration Movement of files between heterogeneous file servers Drivers: File server to NAS consolidation Lease rollover, platform refresh Vendor switch Benefits: Reduced business disruption Cutting Migrations times by 90% (IDC) Lower operational overhead No client reconfiguration, automated Faster migrations

14 Storage Tiering (HSM) Not all data requires primary storage Match cost of storage to business value of data Files are automatically moved between tiers based on criteria Drivers: Storage cost savings Backup cost savings & efficiencies Operational cost savings Benefits: Reduced storage costs Reduced backup windows and infrastructure costs

15 Storage Load Balancing Solution: Automatically balances new file placement across file servers Flexible dynamic load balancing algorithms Uses existing file storage devices Benefits: Increased application performance Improved capacity utilization Reduced outages associated with data management Acopia s products increased our business workflow by 560% - Mike Streb, VP Infrastructure, Warner Music Group

Presentation (Global Namespace) with F5 Acopia ARX 16 Solution: Federates existing namespaces Global Namespace based on NFS, CIFS standards Scaleable across multiple switches and data centers Benefits: Multiple (heterogeneous) file systems appear as single virtual pool Applications and users are unaffected by changes to storage Simplifies access to files and folders Simplifies administration

ARX Architecture 17 Clients Management Control Path Control Path Remote transaction log (mirror) Local Transaction Log NAS and File Servers Data Path (Fast Path) Adaptive Resource Switch Patented tiered architecture separates data and control paths Data path handles non-metadata operations at wire speed Control path handles operations that affect metadata and migration Each path has dedicated processing and memory resources and each can scale independently; unique scale and availability PC-based appliances inadequate single PCI bus, processor and shared memory
