Cloud Storage Overview Block Ephemeral Persistent Block storage offerings are differentiated by speed/throughput (as measured in IOPS) and segmented by lifecycle of the disk. Device location does not matter. Ephemeral storage is tied to the lifecycle of a single VM (i.e. it is provisioned when the VM is provisioned and destroyed when the VM is destroyed) Persistent storage has a lifecycle independent of any single VM and can be provisioned/destroyed at any time and attached/detached to many VMs during it s life File File-based offerings are uncommon among providers, especially among those targeting cloud native applications Primarily targeted at cloud enabled workloads Usage is being replaced in new application development with online object storage Object Online Archival Object storage offerings are differentiated by the durability of the data (i.e. odds of irrecoverable loss) and segmented by the availability of the data (i.e. time required to retrieve) An object in online storage is immediately accessible An object in archival storage may require minutes to hours to be accessible 3

IBM Spectrum Scale Flexible File and Object Storage One big file system or divide into as many as 256 smaller file/object systems Exabyte-Scale, Global Namespace FS1... FS256 Each file system can be further divided into fileset containers Other Datacenters ROBO Metadata can be separated to its own Pool or intermixed with data Files and objects can be migrated to tape to reduce costs 36
IBM Spectrum Archive Overview IBM Spectrum Archive enables IBM tape libraries to read and write LTFS-format tapes as part of a Spectrum Scale global namespace Based on the integration of Spectrum Scale and LTFS technology Supports Spectrum-enabled devices TS1140 (or higher) Enterprise Drive LTO5 (or higher) Ultrium drive IBM Libraries TS4500, TS3500, TS3310, etc. Integrated functionality with Spectrum Scale Supports Policy based migrations Seamless DMAPI usage Data replication to multiple pools Supports scale-out for capacity and I/O Seamless cache controls between Spectrum Archive Nodes Tape drive performance balancing Multiple node performance balancing Tokyo Las Vegas London Clients Wide Area Network (WAN) Global Namespace LTFS LTFS LTFS LTFS 46

Storage Efficiency with Cleversafe Original 1.20 PB Raw How to build a highly reliable storage system for 1 Petabyte of usable data? RAID 6 + Replication Onsite mirror 1.20 PB Raw Remote copy 1.20 PB Raw 1 PB 3.6 PB 900 3.6x 3.6x 3 FTE Replication/backup Usable Data Raw Storage 4TB Disks Racks Required Floor Space Ops Staffing Extra Software Cleversafe 567 TB Raw 567 TB Raw 567 TB Raw 1 PB 1.7 PB 432 1.7x 1.7x.5 FTE None $ 70% + TCO Savings Information Dispersal Algorithm (IDA) Erasure coding is used to transform encrypted pieces of data into a customizable number of slices (7 pieces into 12 slices, in this example) Highly Scalable and Reliable Only a subset of disks needed to retrieve data (any 7 disks out of 12, in this example) 58
Writing Data to Cleversafe Original Data Accesser Appliance, Application, VM, Docker Container or Embedded $ 7 6 5 4 3 Original object is encrypted then cut into pieces Accesser 2 1 Encrypted, Erasure Coded Slices 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Information Dispersal Algorithm (IDA) Erasure coding is used to transform the data into a customizable number of slices (7/12 in this example) Slicestor Appliances SITE 1 SITE 2 SITE 3 Each slice is written to a separate storage node. In this example, the storage nodes are geographically dispersed across 3 sites. 61
Reading Data from Cleversafe With erasure coding k pieces are turned into n slices: Reads can be performed using any k of the n slices This example is a 7 of 12 Information Dispersal Algorithm (IDA) means only 7 slices are needed to reconstruct the original object With this IDA, a read can still be executed with any five storage nodes being unavailable out of 12.
