Dual HA Cluster

RDMA NIC

2-node Windows Failover Cluster per WFA- WFA has 4 blade servers as controllers each running an

instance of Windows Storage Server 2012 R2

- System Center and PowerShell-based array administration from remote management consoles

Application workloads remain on application servers- SMB Direct enables WFA data to load directly into the

application server’s RAM for unmatched performance

- WFA controllers focused on maximum storage I/O

- App server CPUs focused on the workload, not I/O

Storage is viewed as Active-Active devices owning the same high availability flash

Scale by adding arrays- Adds 4 nodes to cluster;

▸ Deploys over 50/100GbE

▸ Uses RDMA enabled NICs

▸ Mangstor low latency drives

▸ Bypasses the network stack

▸ Reduces CPU utilization by up to

▸ IOPS were so plentiful you that never had to worry about data placement again, no

tiering?

▸ Bandwidth was so high, that moving data to the array happened instantly?

▸ Latency was so low that long running jobs completed in seconds, not hours or days?

▸ You could reduce the number of copies of primary data and run analytics in real time?

▸ You could reduce your DC footprint by 75-90%?

▸ You could reduce your Server CPU count by 65-85%?

What if…

▸ Short stroking

▸ Wide striping

▸ Adding SSD to legacy array

▸ Host side read cache

▸ “FAST”

▸ “Easy Tier”

How Do You Make Storage Go FAST?

The Mangstor Latency Effect: Cost Savings

• Save on CPU and licensing costs• Increase CPU utilization by eliminating CPU cycles

wasted in I/O wait• Run same workload faster with fewer cores• Fewer cores => Fewer s/w licenses

• Save on power, space and cooling• No need to over-provision for performance• Improve database density with high IOPS

• Save on infrastructure investments• Consolidate with no performance penalty• Virtualize different workloads (OLTP or DW)• Consolidate different applications (Oracle, SQL Server,

Sybase, DB2 …) on same infrastructure

Trends

x Multiple database copies for performance isolation of production applications

x Reports and analytics run as batch jobs and with a time lag

x “Trickle load” makes I/O pattern more random, degrades performance

Traditional OLTP/DW/Reporting architecture

High throughput accommodates multiple concurrent workloads

Consistent low latency with I/O at any R/W mix suits OLTP/DW mixed workloads

Run reports and analytics any time => real time business insights

Case Study – NX6380 - Microsoft Storage ServerMajor Government Department: Microsoft - SQL Environment

Reduce their 45 Physical Server to 2 Physical Servers - 90 x CPU Sockets down to 8 x CPU sockets

Reduced their 90 x Microsoft SQL Socket Licenses down to 8 x Microsoft SQL Socket Licenses

Reduced CPU Utilisation from an average of 80% down to less than 10% (Eliminating the CPU “Waiting for IO” state)

Reduced their Datacentre Space/Power/Cooling (4 Racks down to ½ a Rack, 35KW of Power down to 4KW)

Reduced Storage Networking Costs – 100’s of 16Gb Fibre Channel Ports to 10’s of 100GB Infiniband Ports

Reduced Complexity – High Availability, Redundancy

Reduce SQL Query time significantly which as a result reduce their Software Development timeframes

200x Improvement in performance from the Original Spinning Disk Architecture.

Reduced Storage Software Cost, Management, Configuration, tunning overheads significantly (All now managed within

Microsoft Windows)

Reduce their costs around skillsets (no longer any requirements for Fibre Channel Gurus, Storage professionals etc, as its

all Windows based Storage)

Return on Investment

45 x Dual Socket Servers ($500K Replacement Value) – Reduced to 2 x 4 Socket Servers ($148K Cost) – Savings $352k

90 x Microsoft SQL Enterprise Licenses ($466K) – Reduced to 8 x Microsoft SQL DataCentre ($148K) – Savings $348K

Datacentre Power, Colling and Space – 4 Racks ($533K) – Reduced to ½ Rack ($133K) – Savings $400K

Total CAPEX and OPEX Savings - $1,100,000
