Technological principles:

Dorado2100 G2 High-speed hardware platform

Dual controllers and load balancing: Active-active dual controllers

can separately process I/O requests from application servers. Loads

on the dual controllers are well balanced.

High-speed bus and I/O channels: The system uses the PCIe 3.0 bus

technology and SAS 2.0 I/O channel technology, so the exchange

bandwidth inside the system reaches 48 GB/s.

Multi-core CPUs and multi-channel memory: The system uses

Romley 8-core CPUs, each of which has three memory channels, so

the communication bandwidth among CPUs reaches 38.4 GB/s.

High-speed interfaces: There are 8 x 8 Gbit/s onboard Fibre Channel

ports, and eight more 8 Gbit/s Fibre Channel or 10GE TOE ports, or

four more 40 Gbit/s InfiniBand ports can be added into the system.

Dorado2100 G2 System resource optimization

Huawei SSD self-check

Dorado2100 G2 focuses on processing host I/Os.

System resource optimization

The I/O scheduling module is specifically optimized for the

solid-state storage architecture, so the thread switchover

latency and system resource occupation are greatly reduced.

The SSD-dedicated cache algorithm greatly simplifies the

computing, and reduces I/O latency and performance

fluctuation.

Huawei SSDs have a periodical self-check mechanism, so

storage controllers do not need to frequently check the SSDs,

and the CPU and memory consumption is obviously reduced.

Technological principles:

The CPU and memory resources are no longer wasted in

processing non-I/O applications, and the system can devote

more to process I/O applications. Therefore, the system I/O

processing capability is improved, I/O latency is reduced, and

overall performance is optimized.

Dorado2100 G2 Bad block repair technology (2)

High ECC processing capability

Huawei SSDs provide up to 80 bit/1 KB error check capability, which is much

higher than the NAND Flash ECC requirement.

Precise Flash monitoring

The NAND Flash status is monitored in real time. Advanced technologies such as

background prevention, medium-specific bad page management, and component

redundancy further improve SSD reliability.

Optimized SSD management and

scheduling algorithm

System algorithms like garbage collection (GC), wear leveling, and band block

management are optimized to prolong the SSD service life.

25

I/O

I/O

Before using global wear

leveling

•Short service lives of certain

blocks because I/Os are

centralized on these blocks

•Low reliability and short service

life of the SSD

Huawei global wear leveling

•I/Os evenly distributed on the

SSD

•Completely improved reliability

and prolonged service life

Dorado2100 G2 Global wear leveling I/O

After using global wear

leveling

•I/Os almost evenly distributed

on the SSD

•Improved reliability and

prolonged service life

Technology characteristics

MTBF > 1,000,000 hours (about 114 years)

An average service life of 7.5 years when

used in full-load scenarios

The combination of dynamic and static wear

leveling algorithms prolongs the SSD

service life.

Dynamic wear leveling takes the initiative to

find out empty blocks that have the least

number of P/E cycles and then writes data

to these blocks.

Static wear leveling finds out valid data

blocks that have a relatively few number of

P/E cycles, and migrates data from the

blocks to change them into empty blocks.

This prevents the early failure of a single

chip, prolonging a disk‘s P/E life.

26

Based on SSD characteristics, Dorado2100 monitors

SSD service lives and generates an alarm if an SSD is

about to fail.

Functions

With the UltraPath, the operating system detects only

one image of each actual disk.

If the UltraPath is not installed, a host can access

LUNs on the disk array through multiple paths. This

causes a LUN to be mapped several times (equal to

the path quantity) to the host operating system.

Therefore, the host detects several identical physical

LUNs while only one LUN is mapped.

After the UltraPath is installed, a virtual HBA exists

between the disk drive and the two physical HBAs so

that only one virtual disk is visible and mapped to the

host.

to prevent service interruption due to single

recovered, the services fail back from the

Challenges

With the development of services, the original system cannot meet the customer's requirements

on high concurrency and low latency nor enable background data to be computed, analyzed,

and reported in a time period required by the customer. (The daily output management report

and assessment report respectively require 8 hours and 46 hours to be completed. Therefore,

IT engineers must complete the assessment report on weekends.) Two reconstruction solutions

are required: database software reconstruction and IT infrastructure reconstruction.

Solution

1. Replace Hitachi AMS2300 with two Dorado2100 G2 to connect to the Falcon R710 for high-

speed access, local mirroring, and remote asynchronous replication.

2. Use the SafeCache and HotZone functions of the Falcon R710 to ensure the high reliability

and performance of the primary storage' database services while accelerating the cache

hotspot data access for the Exchange and web server.

3. Retain one Hitachi device to store data of non-critical services that pose low requirements on

storage performance.

Customer Benefits

1. The daily output management report can be completed in 2 hours, eliminating the night shift

requirement.

2. The assessment report can be completed in 12 hours.

Project Background

Client B is the largest audio-visual copyright issuer in Europe and provides all forms of copyright trading and sending services. It delivers leasing

Customer Pain Points

The performance of the EVA6000 is poor, which notably restricts the efficiency of the online operating system. The satisfaction of end users needs

to be improved urgently.

No high-reliability solutions are available for core assets such as online data, service data, and client cluster information.
