Minimizes negative impacts of single controller failure on system performance

Fujitsu Unique Multiplex Controller Method

Controllers are multiplexed by Fujitsu

Unique Cyclic CM method. Multiplexed CMs minimize

negative influences of single controller

failure on system performance .

Quad FRTs, units for CM communication,

and quad paths secure high performance. Even if an FRT fails, remaining three paths

between CM-FRT minimize impacts on

system performance.

Quad paths

Data is always written into cache

memory on multiple CMs.

If one controller fails, data is duplicated

onto cache memory on different CMs

to maintain redundancy.

Better response times with Extreme Cache

A maximum of 67,2 TB of SSD cache can be used (24 CMs)

Used as read only cache for dedicated LUNs

When loading a complete data base (SAP, Oracle) into

the SSD caches random-read accesses of OLTP applications will be accelerated

Faster response times for business analytics, better service levels

Operation Efficiency


Better Service Levels thanks to AST

Automated Storage Tiering (AST)

AST is key for balancing performance,

capacity and costs

The chunk sizes for AST have been

reduced to 252 MB for finer granularity

A scheduler supports data relocation

tasks

Benefits

Increased utilization of SSDs

Less unpredictable system behavior

Better Quality-of-Service

Better cost/performance ratio


Minimizes administrative efforts

Easy settings per volume

Three priority levels:

High – Middle – Low

Easy Automated Quality of Service


Auto QoS and AST Integration

Quality of Service & Automated

Storage Tiering in concert

If QoS is not able to achieve the

required target response time,

priority data will be moved to

faster media using the

automated storage tiering

function

Efficient and automated to get

best performance

Divides data into blocks, and

writes them to multiple drives

in a dispersed manner (striping)

Writes data to two drives

simultaneously (mirroring)

Combination of RAID0 and RAID1

Stripes mirroring data

Writes striping data and parity

data created. Distributes parity

data to multiple drives.

Able to recover from one drive

failure in the RAID array

Stripes 2 groups of RAID5

Distributes two types of parities

to different drives (double parity).

Able to recover from two drive

failures in the RAID array


Fast rebuilding eliminates risks of system down

Reduction on rebuilding time of Disks (from 9 hours to 1,5 hours for 1TB)

Instead of many to one, many to many is used

The capacity efficiency is 55% to 80% which is higher than that of competitors

Equivalent performance to the conventional RAID.

Fast Recovery

Logical volumes are divided into

several sections. All HDDs

contain reserved area. (Note) Fast Recovery requires RAID6-FR

Volume.

Reserved Area consumes User Area.

When disk failure occurs,

rebuilding to reserved

areas is performed at

once.
