The Future of Storage Protocols, June 2016
Storage performance bottlenecks are moving out of arrays and into the storage network, so Fibre Channel will remain as the data center storage protocol of choice for the next decade.
IT leaders planning to upgrade their storage networking need to use 16Gb/sec FC today, with a migration plan for moving to 32Gb/sec FC
Storage networking investments are becoming a critical top priority due to the adoption of high-throughput, solid-state and flash storage…

Emerging NVMe over Fibre Channel
17
• NVMe over Fibre Channel is relatively new, even thought its component parts are not!
Gen 5 and Gen 6 support FC-NVMe• Fibre Channel has been the leading enterprise storage technology
since the mid-1990’s
• Speeds of 16Gbps (GEN 5) are widespread.
• Gen 6 (2016), delivering twice the speed of GEN 5 selling like
hotcakes…
• GEN 7, which will double the speeds yet again, is already on the
horizon
• Fibre Channel does not have a RDMA protocol so FC-NVMe uses FCP
for data transfers.
• You can deploy NVMe over Fibre Channel on an existing Broadcom FC
infrastructure, providing it is relatively up to date!
• FC-NVMe-oF is aimed at 32GB Fabrics
• NVMe-oF will improve the performance of the FC SAN environment,
applications will receive performance enhancements!

Investment Protection: No Rip Out and Replace
Enterprise NVMe Over Fibre Channel Requires a Network!
• NVMe and SCSI coexist in the same server and SAN
• The Fibre Channel fabric must be Gen 5 (16 Gbps) or better yet Gen 6 (32 Gbps)
• Servers using NVMe over Fibre Channel need Gen 6 (HBAs); Gen 6 HBAs also work with Gen 5 fabrics.
• You need a storage device that supports FC-NVMe frame types. This can be an FC-NVMe-enabled array
• Existing Gen 5 and 6 SANs can run NVMe without code changes or disruptions

IBM zHyperLink delivers NVMe-oF like latencies for the Mainframe!
• zHyperLink Express is a direct connect short distance IBM Z I/O feature designed to work in conjunction with a FICON or High Performance FICON SAN infrastructure
• IBM zHyperLink™ dramatically reduces latency by interconnecting the z14 CPC directly to the I/O Bay of the DS8880…. 5x to 10x
• zHyperLink improves application response time, cutting I/O sensitive workload response time in half without significant application changes.

How does IBM zHyperLink™ change the game?
• IBM zHyperLink™ is the result of an IBM research project created to provide extreme low latency links between the IBM Z and the DS8880
• Two Fibre Options available for zHyperlink Express
– 150m: OM4 50/125 micrometer multimode fiber optic cable with a fiber bandwidth @wavelength: 4.7 GHz-km @ 850 nm.
– 100m: OM3 50/125 micrometer multimode fiber optic cable with a fiber bandwidth @wavelength: 2.0 GHz-km @ 850 nm.
• New zHyperLink compliment, do not replace,

• Given market adoption of X6 director, it is expected that the EOL announcement of the 8510 director will happen before mid CY’19
• The 8510 is expected to be in the end-of-life process at the time of zNext mainframe launch scheduled in the 2H CY’19
• BSN will not initiate qualifying the 8510 director for interoperability with the zNextmainframe
• The X6 is planned to be qualified with the zNext mainframe at time of launch
• The Gen 7 director will be available for qualification with the zNext mainframe in Q4 CY’19
• The Gen5s will most likely be End of Marketing by the time the zNext is available
• IBM will be responsible for making the support statement.
• They will work with us on the supported period of Gen5 connected to zNext and both
IBM and Brocade will announce this to the customers.
• The customers will have some time to use their existing Gen5s with the zNextbefore they must migrate to Gen6 or higher.

• Does the Network meet the Bandwidth and Latency Requirements?
• Does the network have Multipath capabilities to provide active-active designs, to enable 100% utilization of all links?
• Can the Network handle the dramatic increase in IOP throughput?
• Does the Network enable availability for high-density and critical workloads?
• Storage extension capabilities?
• In-depth visibility to enhance the Flash infrastructure?
• FC-NVMe-oF Ready?

FICON Multihop Design Considerations
70 Broadcom Proprietary and Confidential. © 2017 Broadcom. All Rights Reserved. "Broadcom" refers to Broadcom Limited and/or its subsidiaries.|
Multihop Design Considerations
• Bandwidth planning
– Consider having additional bandwidth available between all routes
– Perform a bandwidth sizing study
• Potential adverse performance impact to applications in the event or rerouting traffic due to failure/loss of connectivity
– Increased latency traversing a longer path
71 Broadcom Proprietary and Confidential. © 2017 Broadcom. All Rights Reserved. "Broadcom" refers to Broadcom Limited and/or its subsidiaries.|
Bandwidth Sizing Study Considerations
• What type of traffic is going across the cascaded FICON links (ISLs)? DASD, tape, CTC, all of the above?
• Do I have replication traffic going across the ISLs? If so, what type (synchronous, asynchronous, both)?
• Do I wish to isolate a particular traffic type to its own set of ISLs (by OS, storage type, replication type)?
• Am I using trunking/port channels in conjunction with Multi-Hop ?
• Am I using virtual fabrics and how does that effect my ISL allocation?
• Do I have an SLA that must be met on a specific replication traffic?
• Does my environment include a GDPS or similar architecture? Will I be performing a HyperSwap?
