HDI HCP

Application

REST/HTTP(S)

WRITE REPLICATE

READ RECALL

CIFS/NFS

Application writes a file to Hitachi Data Ingestor (HDI)

Hitachi Data Ingestor replicates the file to Hitachi Content Platform (HCP)

Users can “pin” files of their choices to make them stay on HDI all the time When system capacity reaches 90%, HDI deletes “non-pinned” files in excess of the

threshold and creates 4KB link stubs to replace them- Users access the files as they always have, since links are transparent to clients

Reading a link recalls the file back into HDI- Recalled files are deleted from HDI later and replaced by another link, based on HDI

system capacity and least-recently-used criteria

HOW HITACHI DATA INGESTOR MIGRATES FILES

12

Features

Intelligent cache management

- Identifies and retains newer and more frequently accessed files

- Cache tuned to edge deployments with WAN connectivity

Advanced capacity management and high performance

Benefits

Faster access to frequently used files – active files stay on HDI all the time

Enhanced replication performance

Maximum capacity utilization

Free up bandwidth over the WAN

HITACHI DATA INGESTOR: INTELLIGENT CACHING

CAPABILITY METHOD

Stubbing frequency

Files are stubbed every hour

LRU algorithm Oldest files are purged first, based on atime and mtime attributes; newer files stay in cache longer

Read cache Recalled files stay in cache until the next capacity- management process

13

Benefits Satisfy multiple applications, varying SLAs and workload types or organizations Determine utilization and chargeback per customer Edge dispersion: each HDI can access another when set up that way Enable advanced features at one branch or at more granular level

• Examples: replication, encryption, DPL levels (how many copies to keep), compliance and retention, compression and versioning

HOW HITACHI DATA INGESTOR MAPS TO THE CORE

Read-only

Content sharing enables edge dispersion

Each file system is mapped to its designated namespace

14

COMPLIANCE AND GOVERNANCE CAPABILITIES

Flexible retention support and WORM functionality using an industry-standard atime-based interface and automated settings

Retention is an optional setting Allows you to specify a file’s retention date; the file is then protected

by strict WORM restrictions- While under retention, WORM files cannot be deleted- WORM files are immutable, even after retention expires- WORM files cannot be renamed- Directories containing WORM files cannot be renamed

Retention settings are transferred to Hitachi Content Platform as files are migrated

Retention can be tunable per file system Support for backup and restore of retention properties

15

CONTENT SHARING

A Hitachi Data Ingestor system can map to a Hitachi Content Platform (HCP) tenant to write content and potentially read content from other HCP tenants

Sharing supports a single writer with many readers

CONTENT SHARING USE CASE: MEDICAL IMAGE FILE SHARING

Hospital A stores medical files to file system A of Hitachi Data Ingestor A

The files are migrated to namespace A on Hitachi Content Platform (HCP)

Hospital B can read the files through file system A, which is mapped to namespace A on Hitachi Content Platform

Hitachi Data Ingestor (HDI) creates a snapshot directory for each migration

Snapshot are created under a history directory

User can access snapshot files for specified migrations under “.history/<date+time>/<original path>” and can restore a snapshot file to the current working directory
