SAN

Storage Consolidation with Traditional SANsStorage Efficiency at the Expense of Application Predictability

•All I/Os are created equal•Contention for storage resources•Performance is unpredictable•Some applications are starved•Monolithic, 2-controller designs–Require an expensive buy-in–Limit scalability–Fork-lift upgrades for full scaling

Islands of Storage with Traditional SANsThe Only Way to Deliver Predictable Performance

•Scalable number of servers per island•Higher availability for servers and storage•Each SAN array requires it’s own management, no benefit compared to DAS•No significant financial benefit

QoS is more than where you sit, it’s also the priority and class of service you get•How fast you board and exit•The number of attendants per passenger•The seat size and leg room•The entertainment selections

Pillar Axiom: 5 Levels of Quality of ServiceAligning Storage Performance with Business Value

Pillar Axiom: Patented Quality of ServiceDeterministic I/O Prioritization

QoS settings control drive type, count, and data placement

Distributed RAID controllers add back-end bandwidth as capacity grows

Controls read/write bias and RAID type

Cache allocation implicitly controlled via QoS settings

Controls CPU cycles, IO priority, and RAID grouping

QoS Provisioning Attributes

●Size of the LUN●Input value is on per GB basis (Fat or Thin)

●Storage Class●Configure storage on preferred media (SSD, FC, SATA)

●Priority vs. other Volumes●Configure based upon application priority

●Access Bias●Identify how data blocks are accessed●Random vs. sequential

●I/O Bias●Read vs. Write characteristic

●Redundancy●Standard: LUN is stored once across Bricks with RAID protection●Double: LUN is stored twice across different Bricks with RAID protection (mirrored copy) for higher availability

For your home grown applications, you can create your own Application Profile

Create your own Application Profile

Create up to 64 Physical Domains in a Single Axiom

•No data co-mingling: Isolate application data or workloads to physical locations•Separate user groups or departments to different physical locations•Separate access protocols to different physical drive groupings•Continuous data availability during maintenance and upgrades
