Storage HA versus SLA Resiliency

Loss of…The traditional “HA Question” The Resiliency Question

Disk Drive What is the sparing policy? How fast is RAID rebuilt?

Drive Enclosure How many RAID groups will go offline?

How is complete data access maintained?

Array Controller How degraded is performance in write-thru mode?

How is write-cache mirroring sustained?

PowerHow quickly must power be restored in order to preserve

data?

How is data preserved if power remains off

indefinitely?

DataFrom what days of the

week can data be recovered from disk?

From what hours of the week can data be recovered

from disk?

Service Level Optimization Approaches to Date at 3PAR

• Nearline for Online– Cost-optimized storage using enterprise SATA

for Nearline and Online applications

– Enabled by capacity/performance aggregation of InServ (wide-striping across all drives)

– Used by Terremark to power their vCloud Express offering

• Non-Disruptive Full Volume Tiering– Multi-tiered array with non-disruptive full volume

optimization with 3PAR Dynamic Optimization

– Align changing application requirements to data QoS levels on demand

– Enabled by • Fine-grained InSpire Architecture

• Sub-volume data movement engine

– Deployed widely by 3PAR customers23

26

Autonomic, Policy Based Data Movement

• Intelligently monitors sub-volume performance per region

• IO Rate Density – primary factor for data movement

– Definition: IO per GB per Min– Identifies busy vs. inactive regions– Relative to regions within an application

configuration vs. global

• Data is optimized autonomically and non- disruptively over application lifecycle

– Busy regions are migrated up to higher tier– Inactive regions are migrated down to lower

tier

• Non-disruptive and application- transparent “re-thinning” of thin provisioned volumes

• Thin “insurance” against unexpected or thin-hostile application behavior

• Returns space to thin provisioned volumes and to free pool for reuse

• Unique 3PAR Gen3 ASIC with built-in zero detection delivers:

– Simplicity – No special host software required. Leverage standard file system tools/scripts to write zero blocks.

– Preserved service levels – zeroes detected and unmapped at line speeds

Thin Persistence for Oracle: An Industry First

• Online “re-thinning” for Oracle

• Reclaim 25 – 50% space– After Tablefile is shrunk or Tablespace

or Database is dropped– After a new LUN is added to ASM Disk

Group

• Eliminates capacity associated with data deletions in Thin Volumes quickly and non-disruptively

– Oracle ASM Storage Reclamation Utility writes zeroes to free space

– 3PAR Thin Built-In™ ASIC-based, zero-detection eliminates free space

3PAR Storage Performance Benefits for VMware ESX

3PAR’s massively parallel InSpire® Architecture automatically spreads all workloads over all internal disk resources, delivering demonstrably higher and more predictable levels of performance (high IOPS, low latencies) with full capacity utilization.

Benefits for VMWare include:

1. VMware application service levels are higher and more predictable

2. More Virtual Servers can be consolidated per ESX Server, enhancing VMware ROI

3. More transaction-intensive applications can be supported in a virtualized ESX environment

4. Fewer arrays and less capacity are required to support a given VMware deployment

3PAR Storage Capacity Benefits for VMware

3PAR Thin Provisioning and fast RAID 5 deliver unique efficiencies for useable capacity. Thin Provision permits abundant upfront provisioning of useable capacity while requiring minimum physical storage (for written data only).

Benefits for VMWare include:

1. Maximum provisioning flexibility for VMware ESX environments

2. Minimum ESX storage cost for improved VMware ROI and breadth of deployment

3. Minimum ESX storage management

4. Minimum application disruption due to ESX rescanning
