FLASH 1st Data StrategyHot data on FAST Flash SSDs, cold data on dense disks

“Hot”High Activity

As data ages, activity falls, triggering automatic movement to high-capacity disk drives for lowest cost

Highly active data is stored on Flash SSDs for fastest response time

The FAST Suite

• FAST Cache continuously ensures that the hottest data is served from high-performance Flash SSDs

• FAST VP (Virtual Pools)* optimizes storage pools automatically, ensuring that active data is being served from SSDs, while cold data is moved to lower-cost disk tiers

• Together they deliver a fully automated FLASH 1st storage strategy for optimal performance at the lowest cost attainable

• Monitor and tune the whole system with the complementary Unisphere QoS Manager and Unisphere Analyzer

Getting the Right Blend of FlashThree fundamental business questions

How much data is under management today?

30 TB

How much is your data growing each year?

50% year-over-year

How long does your data stay hot?

60 days


Calculating How Much Flash

Flash % =yearly growth rate % X number of hot days X 100

FAST Cache Disk Drives

• Part of the FAST Suite for VNX arrays

• Uses Flash drives to add extra layer of cache between DRAM and HDDs

• Tracks data temperature at granularity of 64 KB

• Caches data in/out automatically and transparently

• Read/write in nature

• Enabled/disabled at storage pool or LUN level

• Supports both file and block on VNX

• Managed through Unisphere

• No array downtime for adding more Flash drives


Technology Overview – FAST VP

• Policy-based auto-tiering solution

• Operates at granularity of 1 GB

• Lower customer's TCO by tiering colder slices of data to high-capacity drives, and to increase performance by keeping hotter slices of data on performance drives.

• Occurs automatically and transparently to the host environment.

• Automatically collects and analyzes statistics before relocating data.

• Managed through Unisphere
