DLm Key Differentiators 1. Future-Proof Architecture

– Modular approach with VTEs enable scale-on-demand and seamless storage migration

2. Breakthrough Disaster Recovery – Performing destructive 100% end-to-end DR testing without losing replication or production data;

also great for QA & migration test

3. High Availability – No Single Point Of Failure (No SPOF) – The HA architecture means 99.999% RAS in every DLm6000-VNX – no metadata to lose

4. Data Reduction – Only offering on the market with both primary storage and dedupe storage for the highest data

reduction possible – example: IDPs FDR measures 25:1 dedupe ratios

5. Superior Scale and Throughput – Up to 2.0GB/sec. per DLm – up to 3x faster than alternatives – Up to 11X more capacity – more capacity per square-foot

6. Simplified Operations and Maintenance – Easy to use, implement, and maintain

7. Non-Disruptive Code Updates (virtual tape engines and storage) – High availability architecture of DLM allows for non-disruptive code updates of virtual tape engines

(VTE) and storage


Product Overview – DLm6000 EMC’s 3rd Generation of Industry-Leading Tape

• DLm6000 highlights: – Powered by Virtuent 7 software – 30-40% faster throughput* – 2x standard storage capacity* – 4x dedupe capacity* – Up to 12 FICON attach (FICON only) – Up to 30% less floor space*

• 3rd Generation successor to: – EMC DLm960 – Bus-Tech MDL-4000 – Bus-Tech MDL-6000

* - compared to DLm960


Product Overview – DLm6000 Features

• Most scalable, highest performance virtual tape solution for IBM mainframe environments

– 680 MB/sec ~ 2.0 GB/sec throughput

– 4 ~ 12 concurrent FICON attach

– 2 ~ 6 VTE’s per DLm6000 – Up to 1,536 virtual devices

• 256 total virtual devices per VTE

– Unlimited number of VOLSERs – 3480, 3490, 3590 support – Excellent Reliability: RAID 6 (SAS and SATA

II)


Product Overview – DLm6000 Features • Utilizes VNX7500 and/or DD890 storage

– VNX: 40TB ~ 2.5 PB standard storage

– DD890: 1.4PB ~ 5.7PB logical dedupe storage

– Up to 6.69PB in mixed dedupe/standard storage

– VNX is not a prerequisite

• Platform independence – Elimination of dependence on VNX for support

connectivity (Connect EMC)

• Virtuent 7 software – Enhanced filesystem – Storage groups – Centralized management – z/OS console support

“All-in-all, it looks as if EMC has leap-frogged IBM and Oracle competition with this new DLm6000 product.” - Chris Mellor, IDC


Virtuent 7 Gateway To The Future

• “Brains” of the DLm platform – Foundation for all future intellectual

property – 3480, 3490, 3590 tape emulation – Advanced mainframe data deduplication

pre-processing

• Virtuent 7 with DLm6000 has added features

– Convergence of Bus-Tech and EMC code – Single code-base going forward – Production since March 2010 (GA)


Virtuent 7 Enhanced Filesystem Architecture

• Unlimited number of VOLSERs per filesystem; easy to setup and manage

• FileSystems will no longer be mounted using the 1st 2 characters of the VOLSER

• Any VOLSER can be stored on any available FileSystem

• FileSystem selection will be random

• New VOLSERs only need to be added when and if there is a VOLSER shortage

• New FileSytems can be added without adding VOLSERs to the library

• Allows for future migration of VOLSERs between FileSystems

• Compatibility mode will allow Virtuent 7 to work in existing “libraries” under today’s architecture

Virtuent 7 Benefits of Enhanced FS Storage Classes

• Without storage classes drives, channels and mainframe UCBs would be dedicated to storage type

• Each storage type would require a configuration large enough for maximum workload

• Resulting in extra hardware and/or software

• With DLm6000 storage class support drives can be redirected on a tape by tape basis

• Minimizing the number of drives, channels, and UCBs required

• Resulting in significant potential cost savings

Virtuent 7 Basis of DLm’s Future-Proof Architecture

• VTE’s are modular – SR2500 SR2600 – VTE’s are independent – Upgrade a VTE – Upgrade software – No SPOF

• Storage is modular – Celerra VNX – DD880 DD890

• Virtuent integrates – Virtuent 7 enhanced file system

management – Migration to newer storage – No impact to TMC – Transparent to mainframe

Virtuent 7 Large Config Centralized Administration

• New ACP-based administration application on the ACP(s)

• All configuration data for all VTEs are centrally stored on the ACPs

• Configuration sent over control network to the VTEs

• Controllers (nodes) centrally monitored • X-Windows / KDE no longer required on Nodes

Virtuent 7 DLm Console – Status - Gather Logs

• Click on the Gather Log tab to see the log screen • Used to gather support log for any ACP or VTE • This page provides current Status information on each VTEC component.

You can access logs or the VTE Console or reboot the specific component. Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox with Java is required

• Available tabs include: – Status – Storage – Devices – Network – External – Messages – Configurations – Log out


Virtuent 7 DLm Console – Messages Tab

• Provides access for changing error message handling


Virtuent 7 z/OS Mainframe Management

Virtuent 7.0 will provide an optional started task for z/OS environments

The purpose of this started task will be to allow a single z/OS LPAR to communicate over the channel(s) with DLm VTEs

In Virtuent 7 this Started Task with provide for the following capabilities: All DLm messages normally sent to the

VTCON / btilog can now be optionally routed to the z/OS operator console

DLm operator commands (QUERY, for example) can be sent from the z/OS operator console to a DLm VTE. Responses will be returned to the z/OS console

Virtuent 7 VNX File Level Retention (FLR – v3.1)

File Level Retention Enterprise Option (FLR-E) • Provides for retention periods per file

• Enables adherence to good business practices – Tamper proof clock – Activity Logging

File Level Retention Compliance Option (FLR-C) • Meets SEC Rule 17a-4(f) compliance requirements

– Prevents file system deletions with locked files – “Hard” default retention periods – Data verification to validate committed content

• Retention periods cannot be modified

• File systems can only be deleted when retention period has expired

• Third-party compliance validation paper


Virtuent 7 RSA Key Management (v3.1)

VTEs will always include the RSA client Encryption requires a separately licensed

RSA Key Manager Individual drives will be configured for

encryption (as they are today) When a new tape is written to a drive

configured for encryption a call to the RSA Key Manager is made

The Key Manager returns 2 keys; a clear key and an encryption key

RSA client uses the encryption key to encrypt the data and stores the clear key on the volume

Support for VNX Storage Only

Virtuent 7 Guaranteed Replication (v3.1)

• “Synchronous” replication of identified VOLSERs to a second location before rewind/unload is issued

• Intelligent stacking of queue to replicate all VOLSERs in identified filesystem at once

• Significant performance improvement over GR v2

• Minimizes transmission traffic


Upgrading to Virtuent 7

• DLm 1.x based on Virtuent 5 codebase

• DLm4020/4080 will need tech refresh

• DLm 2.x based on Virtuent 6 code base
