The FAST Suite A FLASH 1 st strategy enabler Real-time caching with FAST Cache FAST Cache continuously ensures that the hottest data is served from high-performance Flash SSDs Flash SSD 15K HDD Highcapacity HDD FAST VP (Virtual Pools)* optimizes storage pools automatically, ensuring that active data is being served from SSDs, while cold data is moved to lower-cost disk tiers Together they deliver a fully automated FLASH 1 st storage strategy for optimal performance at the lowest cost attainable Scheduled optimization with FAST VP * Not available for VNX5100 Monitor and tune the whole system with the complementary Unisphere QoS Manager and Unisphere Analyzer 7
VNX Storage Architecture and Best Practices for Microsoft 8
Virtual Pool More Performance and Less Cost Fully Automated Storage Provisioning (FAST VP) Virtual Server Virtual Server Virtual Server Exchange SQL Server SharePoint FAST Cache Flash FC SATA 80% faster provisioning and more granular use of storage resources for Microsoft SQL Server 3X the number of users 3X the number of transactions SharePoint Crawl operations improved by 90% 27% faster search response times Exchange Up to 5x reduction in storage 5000 exchange users (provision 1GB vs. 5GB for each user) = 20 TB saved 9
EMC FAST Cache FAST Cache Performance Technology Reduces response time to hosts Enables lower pool and RAID group physical drive utilization FAST Cache is secure Drives are mirrored to protect data written to Flash drives Chunks remain in Flash until busier ones need the space The Least Recently Used (LRU) algorithm determines which data stays FAST Cache can benefit any LUN MetaLUN, virtual LUN, pool LUN, Flare LUN 10
Microsoft SQL Server VNX 5700 (20) SAS drives in pool (4) Flash drives in FAST Cache >2x performance improvement in TPS with no increase in response time SAS Only 1448 TPS, 0.8s Ravg SAS + FAST Cache 5778 TPS, 1.95s Ravg ~ 4x performance improvement in TPS with only x2 increase in response time Recommendation Pools YES FAST Cache YES FAST VP YES Flash in Cache and SAS in Pool Virtualizing SQL Server 2008 Using EMC VNX Series and VMware vsphere 4.1 http://powerlink.emc.com/km/live1/en_us/offering_basics/white_paper/h8188-virtualizing-sql-vnxvsphere-psg.pdf 11
Virtualizing SQL Server with Hyper-V Tested SQL Server 2008 on Fibre Channel SAN to measure performance Similar performance between physical and virtual with Hyper-V pass through Using Flash drives to extend cache (FAST Cache) significant performance gains were realized 12
MS Exchange 2010 FAST Cache does not particularly benefit Exchange 2010 Exchange has little to no data locality Exchange 2010 is designed to minimize I/O to the storage subsystem FAST VP is not presently a good choice for Exchange 2010 BDM skews the data movement, which is on a 24 hour cycle Exchange allocates data space in a way that works against the FAST VP algorithms VNX remains an excellent platform for Exchange 2010 Use homogeneous Pools or RAID Groups Use Thick LUNs only for mission-critical jobs; avoid Thin LUNs for > 100 users Use the SOAPTool utility to evenly distribute data on Pool LUNs Improves Jetstress performance Recommendation Pools YES, with SOAP Tool Utility FAST Cache Neutral FAST VP NO, BDM causes non-optimized relocations 13
IOPS Latency (ms) Exchange 2010 Performance on VNX5700 with VNX Snaps and FAST Cache When FAST Cache is enabled on both pools housing Exchange databases, performance is good New best practice - FAST Cache is required on storage pools with Exchange databases when VNX Snapshots are enabled 2500 2000 1500 1000 500 0 2306 2291 21.7 23.7 16 15.3 17.0 1.8 2218 1800 1800 1800 Thick LUNs - baseline (No snaps & FAST Cache) Exchange 2010 Performance - Jetsress Results 15k users @.12 IOPS, 48 NL-SAS drives per pool, VNX5700 (OE 5.32) 1800 IOPS and 20 ms DB read latency to pass Jetstress Thick LUNs with VNX Snaps & FAST Cache Thin LUNs with VNX Snaps & FAST Cache DB Read Latency (ms) DB Write Latency (ms) Achieved User IO Target IOPS 100 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 14
NAS Workloads Small Random IO Home Folder Observations: We saw 3x performance benefit on the # users supported with FAST cache. FSCT tool distributes Home directories workload from the FSCT clients to the CIFS share, runs the scenarios and calculates the number of scenarios completed for a particular user count. Recommend using FAST Cache for Home directories workload on NAS. Recommendation Pools OK w/r31 MR1 FAST Cache YES* FAST VP Low skew, unlikely to benefit *If SnapSure in use, SavVol will be non-optimal workload and should be relocated 15
Summary of Use Cases Where FAST technologies are and are not a good fit, for ROI and total performance Pools FAST Cache FAST VP SQL Yes Yes Yes Oracle OLTP Yes Yes Yes Exchange Yes (with SOAP) Neutral Disable BDM Oracle DSS Yes No skew No skew NAS small random I/O Non mission-crit Yes* Low skew NAS large sequential I/O Non mission-crit No skew No skew FAST Cache and FAST VP most effective when data has skew, e.g. OLTP FAST VP adversely impacted by background management activities FAST Cache best suited to small random I/O Copyright 2011 EMC Corporation.
