Virtual SAN is NOT a Virtual Storage Appliance Virtual SAN is fully integrated with vsphere (ESXi & vcenter) Drivers embedded in ESXi 5.5 contain the Virtual SAN smarts Kernel modules: Provide the shortest path for I/O Remove unnecessary management overheads when dealing with an appliance Do not consume resources unnecessarily VSA Virtual SAN Not a VSA Virtual SAN Embedded into vsphere 7
VMware Virtual SAN Radically Simple Hypervisor-Converged Storage Software vsphere + Virtual SAN SSD Hard disks SSD SSD Hard disks Hard disks Virtual SAN Shared Datastore Hybrid storage solution Magnetic disks (HDD) Flash based disks (SSD) Storage scale out architecture built into the hypervisor Dynamic capacity and performance scalability Object based storage architecture Interoperable with vsphere and enterprise features: vmotion, DRS, vsphere HA 8
Simplifies and Automates Storage Management Per VM storage service levels from a single self-tuning datastore Per VM Storage Policies Policies set based on application needs Capacity Performance Software automates control of service levels Storage Policy-Based Management vsphere + VSAN SLAs Availability VSAN Shared Datastore No more LUNs! 9
Virtual SAN Puts The App In Charge Simpler and automated storage management through application centric approach Today 5. Consume from preallocated bin 4. Select appropriate bin VSAN 1. Define storage policy 2. Apply policy at VM creation 3. Expose pre-allocated bins 2. Pre-allocate static bins 1. Pre-define storage configurations VSAN Shared Datastore Resource and data service are automatically provisioned and maintained Overprovisioning (better safe than sorry!) Wasted resources, wasted time Frequent Data Migrations No overprovisioning Less resources, less time Easy to change 10 1
Oh yeah! Scalability.. 2 Million IOPS vsandatastore 4.4 Petabytes 32 Hosts 1 11
Virtual SAN Implementation Requirements Virtual SAN requires: Minimum of 3 hosts in a cluster configuration All 3 host MUST!!! contribute storage vsphere 5.5 U1 or later Maximum of 32 hosts vsphere 5.5 U1 Cluster local storage local storage local storage HDD HDD HDD Locally attached disks Magnetic disks (HDD) Flash-based devices (SSD) esxi-01 cluster esxi-02 esxi-03 Network connectivity 1GB Ethernet 10GB Ethernet (preferred) 1 12
Horizon View vsphere + Virtual SAN SSD Hard disks Hard SSD Hard disks disks Virtual SAN and Horizon View: Handle peak performance such as boot, login, read/write storms Seamless granular scaling without huge upfront investments Support high VDI density Support high end virtual desktop GPU requirements Virtual SAN is compatible with the following Horizon View versions: Horizon View 5.3 (SPBM manually implemented) Policies maintained across operations such as refresh/refresh no need to re-associate Full Clone Policies Linked Clone Policies FTT = 1 for persistent FTT = 0 for non-persistent Provisioning 100% reserved OS Disk: FTT = 1 for dedicated pools, OS Disk: FTT = 0 for floating pool Replica Disk: FTT = 1 Replica Disk: Read Cache Reservation 10% 13
vsphere Replication and Site Recovery Manager production site vcenter VR/SRM Server vsphere VMFS recovery site vcenter VR/SRM Server vsphere + Virtual SAN Virtual SAN is compatible with: vsphere Replication 5.5 (vsphere Web Client) SPBM configured as part of replication vcenter Site Recovery Manager 5.5 (vsphere C#) SRM configuration based on VR replication replication SSD Hard disks SSD Hard disks SSD Hard disks vsphere Replication & vcenter Site Recovery Manager Asynchronous replication 15 minute RPO VM-Centric based protection Provide automated DR operation & orchestration Automated failover execution of user defined plans Automated failback reverser original recovery plan Planned migration ensure zero data loss Point-in-Time Recovery multiple recovery points Non-disruptive test automate test on isolated network 14
vsphere Data Protection vcenter Server vsphere VMFS vcenter Server vsphere + Virtual SAN Virtual SAN and vsphere Data Protection Radically simple to deploy and manage Integrated User Interface vsphere Web Client Highly available storage solution Increase operation efficiency SSD Hard disks SSD Hard disks SSD Hard disks vsphere Data Protection Advanced 5.5 Source and target De-duplication capabilities Bidirectional replication capabilities Secure, easy, reliable, network-efficient replication Application-consistent backup and recovery capabilities Higher RTO and RPO 24 hours RTO, minutes hours RPO Incorporated technologies vstorage API for Data protection Change Block Tracking (CBT) Avamar variable-length segment algorithm 15
vcloud Automation Center vcloud Automation Center provides Virtual SAN: Centralized provisioning, governance, infrastructure management capabilities Simple and self-service consumption capabilities Entitlement compliance monitoring, and enforcement Leverage existing business processes and tools Delegation control of resources vsphere + Virtual SAN SSD Hard disks SSD Hard Hard disks disks Custom use of VM Storage Policies: Virtual SAN default policy Blueprints VM templates Via vcenter Orchestrator with custom workflow Via vcloud Automation Center designer modifying provisioning workflow 16
Configure VSAN VSAN is configured in just a few clicks. Setup VSAN Network Enable VSAN on the Cluster Select Manual or Automatic If Manual, pick Disks/SSDs Automatic mode: all empty local disks are claimed by VSAN for the creation of the vsandatastore Manual mode: the administrator must manually select empty local disks to add the the vsandatastore. 17
