Inline Deduplication
20–30% space savings
Inline Compression
30–50% space savings
No Special Hardware
No Performance Impact
Log-Structured File System Yields More Efficient Data Optimization
Architectural Review
Storage mapped via VM_DIRECT_PATH
Fully replicated and protected write log
Large cache for faster reads and writes
Inline deduplication and compression
Management via vSphere Web client
IOVisor for consistent performance and utilization
VAAI Integration for offloading of snapshots and
clones
Data always persistent on hard disk
Data is protected via multiple copies distributed
throughout the nodes.
Data always written thin, deduped and
compressed for maximum capacity
HyperFlex Management Features
Fast and Easy Installation
Step 0• VMware and HX Data Platform Software installed on servers at
factory before shipping to customer
Step 1• Rack up servers, cable, power on
• Boot installer and enter information
• Installer deploys network
configuration and creates cluster
• Create Datastore(s)
• Start Provisioning VMs
• Pointer-based snapshots
• Space-efficient with no performance penalty vs. Vmware Redo Log Snaps
• Fast creations and deletions
• Fine-grained or coarse-grained
• VM-level or VM folder-level
• VAAI-integrated
• Quiesced and crash-consistent
• Use vCenter Snapshot Manager
• Policy-based schedules and retention
Fast and Flexible Native Snapshots
All This Functionality Enabled with the HX Data Platform Filesystem
• Pointer-Based Writeable Snapshots (Instantaneous Clones)
• VAAI integrated
• VM-level granularity
Native VM Clones for Rapid Provisioning
• Batch creation GUI
• Apply unique names
• Use customization spec to apply IP
• Powerful tool to rapidly setup a large set of VMs using just VC (without scripting or View composer); Up to 256 clones in parallel per job
• Golden/Base VM can be a template, powered on or powered off
• Extends virtualization
management seamlessly
• No switching between
management consoles
• View storage alerts/alarms alongside
with ESX alerts/alarms
• Command line interface for automation
