8/70 2013 IBM Corporation
Creating Better Storage Efficiencies through Virtualization, Compression and Flash Technology
Demand for storage is continuing to rise
Drives are becoming larger and out pacing the processing power
Throughput is not scaling compared to drive size
As drives become larger, fewer drives can be used driving down total IOPS

Whats a Storage hypervisor?
Server hypervisorhas a well understood value connotation Pooled physical resources are consumed by virtual machines resulting in
high asset utilization
Virtual machines are mobile giving CIOs their choice of physical serverdevice
A common set of value capabilities and centralized management are
provided for virtual machines regardless of what physical server they aresitting on
Storage hypervisor is a rapidly emerging way of describing the samevalue points in a storage context
On Intel systems
server virtualization platform (VMware vSphere or Red Hat EV) and
server virtualization management (VMWare vCenter or Red Hat EV Manager)
On Power systems
server virtualization platform (IBM PowerVM) and
server virtualization management (IBM Director VMControl)

Target the bottleneck in the IT stack
In the past 10 years:
CPU speed performance increased ~8-10x
DRAM speed performance increased ~7-9x
Network speed performance increased ~100x
Bus speed performance increased ~20x
Disk speed performance increased ONLY 1.2x
Storage disk speed is the bottleneck thats slowing everything else in the IT stack

Storage disk latency drives CPU utilization/efficiency lower
1. Issue I/O request (~ 100 s)
2. Wait for I/O to be serviced (~ 5,000 s)
3. Process I/O (~ 100 s)
Time to process 1 I/O request = 100 s + 5,000 s + 100 s = 5,200 s
CPU utilization = Wait time / Processing time = 200 / 5,200 = ~4%

The real cost of latency
The world's biggest e-tailer estimates that
every millisecond delay to its online service
costs it $4.8 million in lost sales
Source: Richard Irving Capacity Magazine
In the financial sector, which relies on ultra-
low-latency networks to drive low-risk,high-volume trading profits, a 1 millisecond
(ms) advantage could be worth upwards of
$100 million a year

Optional 10 Gb Ethernet support for 10 Gb iSCSI host attachment and future FCoEsupport
Two 10Gb ports per storage engine Storage engine supports 10Gb iSCSI or internal SSDs but not both Factory install or nondisruptive field upgrade
Engines may be intermixed in pairs with other engines in SVC clusters Mixing engine types in a cluster results in volume throughput characteristics of the

Improving Application Test with SEFC
Production systems often have many testsystems that are replicas of production
SAP is known for often having large number
of copies
Using thin provisioned FlashCopy to create
replicas could significantly reduce storage
In this example, use fully-allocated test
master to isolate test systems from
production disk
Production and test could be on separate
disk systems
Test master can be used to reset test virtual disks after test runs
Implementation uses snapshots, cascaded, and multi-target FC
This example uses around 2x production data
Compare with 5x for regular FlashCopy

SVC stores two copies of a virtual disk, usually on separate disk systems
SVC maintains both copies in sync and writes to both copies If disk supporting one copy fails, SVC provides continuous data access
by using other copy
Copies are automatically resynchronized after repair
Intended to protect critical data against failure of a disk system or diskarray
A local high availability function, not a disaster recovery function Copies can be split
Either copy can continue as production copy
Either or both copies may be space-efficient

Nondisruptive Volume Move
SVC supports moving a volume
without disruption from one storagepool to another
Includes moving between
internal and external virtualized
storage
A volume is presented to servers by
a single I/O group
Now,a volume can be movedfrom one I/O group to another
without disruption to
applications
Supports load balancing across an
entire system
Helpful when adding I/O groups toan SVC system

SVC FCoE Support
SVC offers extensive support for FCoE enabling full use of converged
networks
Also supports migration from Fibre Channel networks
SVC supports FCoE with 10Gb Ethernet ports on Model CG8 engines
Existing SVC engines may be upgraded with 10Gb Ethernet without
disruption
These ports may be used simultaneously for both FCoE and iSCSI
server attachment
SVC supports FCoE for all the same functions that FC is supported
FC Host connected to SVC (either FC or FCoE ports)
FCoE Host connected to SVC (either FC or FCoE ports)
SVC (FC or FCoE ports) connected to storage system FC ports
SVC (FC or FCoE ports) connected to storage system FCoE ports In an SVC system, communication among I/O groups using any
combination of FC and FCoE ports
For remote mirroring, between systems using any combination of FC
and FCoE

Compression Without CompromiseEnhancing SVC to Deliver Extraordinary Efficiency
Introducing IBM SAN Volume Controller Real-time Compression
Innovative, easy-to-use compression fully integrated into SVC
High performance implementation supports active primary workloads
Real-time Compression builds on storage efficiency advantages of SVC
SVC Real-time Compression delivers up to 50% or better compressionfor data that is not already compressed
Compression helps reduce
Storage purchase costs
Rack space
Power and cooling
Software costs for additional functions
Compression can help freeze storage growth or delay needfor additional purchases

Business challengesExtreme media streaming requirement
SolutionImplement a high-impact, nondisruptive
RamSan solution which was installed in asingle day
UFC knocks out production bottlenecks with
IBM flash
With flash, streaming batch jobs completed up to 70 percent faster and improved performance
and efficiency on other disk storage platforms by 40 percent!
Flash has just completely eliminated [bottlenecks].
Everythings flowing smoothly.

Business challengesAccelerate nightly backups to
meet windows
SolutionImplement flash instead of
adding 200 high performance
disks
Penn State slashes backup time by 80 percentthe TMS RamSan delivers vastly better IOPS performance than
two hundred 15K disk drives
Flash instantly increased perfomance in nightly backups 6x
while reducing power consumption by 90 percent!
We literally just turned it on and thats
all the performance tuning we did. It
just worked out of the box.
Theyre very well made and a verymature product.

This is the headline, 22 point Arial - IBM Edge2013 Red
The headline should not be resized or moved
The headline should always use lower case, other than the first letter
It should not have more than two lines (which may expand to three lines after translation)
When a headline is two lines long, choose a division that is grammatically logical and
aesthetically pleasing
Ideally, the top line should be moderately longer than the lower line
Avoid dividing articles from nouns, prepositions from prepositional phrases,
verbs from nouns, etc.
The text above the headline is called the running header, Arial 10pt. Regular

The bullets on the page should be clear and concise
Use the Tab key (or increase indent button) to obtain the proper indents and bullets.
Use 16 point Arial body text as the minimum type size.
The line spacing has been carefully chosen to introduce a balance between text
and white space (1 Lines for line spacing, .2 Lines before paragraph spacing) and should be
checked for consistency.
On a white background, body text should appear in black and should be set in upper and
lower case.
Where required you can use indents as follows
Second level
Third level
