Innovative Hard Disk Drives And SSDs For Cloud Applications WHD 2015, Rainer Kaese Toshiba Electronics 2015 Toshiba Europe Corporation GmbH 1
Abstract What are cloud specific Hard Disk Drives and Solid State Drives? How do they differ from traditional Enterprise Drives? Modern cloud computing architectures and applications generate specific technical and commercial requirements for the storage components. Toshiba as the only manufacturer of HDD and SSD with NAND Flash Memory devices of its own production - tailors these exactly to the need of the industry. This presentation introduces specialty drives for cloud applications, and explains their benefits and advantages. 2

HDD Requirements for Cloud Computing Optimize CAPEX & OPEX (Infoplosion...) Low Price High Capacity Low Power Consumption 24/7 Operation Reasonable Reliability (Protection by system...) Could be lower than traditional enterprise Moderate Performance (Hot Data on SSD...) 7200rpm, or lower Moderate Workload Ie. Read/Write <50x Full Capacity / Year 4

Rated Workload Mechanical components are stressed while moving Components are dimensioned for certain workloads Lower workload = Lower tolerances required Lower material cost... Workload in TB/year: Sum of written and read data 550 TB/year ~ 90*6 TB, or 17 MB/s in average 180 TB/year ~ 30*6 TB, or 6 MB/s in average 6
Mean Time To Failure (MTTF) Statistical value to estimate drive reliability (Failures to expect under median operating Conditions) Based on sample Population Estimated by statistical Measurements and Acceleration Algorithms Example Cloud HDD : 800.000 h MTTF 800.000 Drives in operation, 1 failing drive per hour MTTF does not predict an individual drive s reliability. (800.000 h = 91 years...) MTTF does not constitute a warranty. 7
Annualized Failure Rate (AFR) Statistical number of failing drives per year AFR 1 e 1year ( ) MTTF[ h] 1 e 8760h ( ) MTTF[ h] Exponential term to consider drives which failed already Low AFR (as for HDD), simplifies to 8760h 8760h AFR[%] 100 100 1.1% 6 MTTF[ h] 0.8 10 h 11 drives (out of 1000) expected to fail per year Within the Warranty Time As long as drives operated within specification Comparison: 2 Mio h ~ 0.4% / 1.4 Mio h ~0.6% / 600k h ~ 1.5% 8
Toshiba SSD/Flash Position Strong Flash Memory Foundation: Technology, Manufacturing, Cost, Supply Early Access: Newest Flash Memory Technology for SSD Products Vertical Integration: In-house SSD Controller to best manage in-house Flash Cost Competitiveness: Full use of in-house Flash Memory Flexibility: In-house Flash Memory Supply and Capacity Broad Portfolio: From SAS to SATA to PCIe Yokkaichi Operations 9
SSD Requirements for Cloud Computing Optimize CAPEX & OPEX (Infoplosion...) Low Price High Capacity Low Power Consumption Optimized/Scalable Write Endurance!!! Background: Flash Memory Cells wear-out when erased! More Data to Write Higher Flash Memory Cell s Quality More spare Cells to replace worn-out Cells Higher Cost $ per GB is scaling with Write Endurance!!! 10
Write Endurance Level 1 DWPD for read intensive applications Data/Media Streaming, Content Delivery Network, Web-site Hosting 3 DWPD Balance between write endurance and $/GB Cloud Storage Servers, Virtual Desktop Infrastructure, Email Servers 10 DWPD for mainstream general applications Read/Write Cache and Databases 30 DWPD for write intensive applications Write Cache and Online Transaction Protocol, basically unlimited write 11
