with All-Flash and Object Storage
In this webinar you will learn:
● Two Tiers - A More Practical Strategy for Data Placement
● What the Two Tier Data Center Needs From an All-Flash Array
● What the Two Tier Data Center Needs From an Object Storage System
● How to Move Data Between the Two Tiers

Level Set - The Data
Reality
● Active data is more active than ever
(10%-15%)
● Dormant data is larger than ever
(85%-90%)
● But when dormant data becomes
active again, no one wants to wait, no
matter how long it has been dormant
The Data Management
Conundrum
● Leave all data on primary and just
keep buying more primary
● Count on the backup process to be
your archive
● Create a data management strategy
○ Data movement
○ Data placement
Why Data Management
Falls Short
● The data movement strategy is too
elaborate
● The data management process
requires too many parts
● Key is to simplify
○ Don’t over think data movement
○ Establish two storage tier data
center
Creating Tier 1
● All-Flash to handle active and near
active data
● What is near-active data?
○ Anything with a reasonable
chance of being recalled
○ All data accessed within the
last 1-2 years
Creating Tier 2
● Object Storage or High
Capacity NAS
● Designed for unstructured
data storage and long term
retention
● Optimized for endurance and
economics
How to Move Data Between Tiers
● All-Flash tier manages itself with built in data placement
software that moves data between tiers of even to an HD tier
● Data movement to object or high capacity NAS is low
pressure
○ Can be either manual or automated
○ Manual is less complicated on movement and more
durable through changes
○ Automated is more seamless on recalls
■ but less durable and more complex to set up

Facilitating Data Forever…
ActiveScaleDynamic Data Placement
No pre-assigned locations
✓ No data rebalancing when scaling capacity up and/or out
✓ Assimilate new generations of technology – no data left behind
▪ e.g. Higher density HDDs, Faster storage servers
✓ Protects data two ways for long-term preservation
▪ High durability – advanced erasure coding – BitSpread® (Up to 17 x 9s)
▪ Data integrity – background integrity checks – BitDynamics™
✓ Versioning: Store and recover every version of every object
✓ Simplified management & analytics @ petabyte scale
