Top I/O Performance…  Q: VI 3.5 has Enterprise-class CPU, Network, and Memory virtualization - “How good is the ESX 3.5 IO Stack?”  The test: –One server –16 cores (Intel Tigerton) –16 VMs (Windows 2003 Server) –IO-intensive workload  8k block size  100% random  Mixed read/write EMC CLARiiON CX3-80 VMware ESX Server Storage Fabric

VMware and EMC: Meeting Extreme Storage Needs Today Joint VMware/EMC testing details here: /performance/2008/05/ io-opera.html EMC CLARiiON CX3-80 VMware ESX Server Storage Fabric Q: “How good is the ESX 3.5 IO Stack?” A: “VERY GOOD” Q: Is this a best practice? A: No – it was done to test limits Q: Is this the limit? A: No –higher with current EMC generation with SSD and VI4 Perspective: what would generate this?  200K E2K7 users  85 average 4 vCPU DBs Perspective: What did this take?  3 CX3-80s, K RPM drives, 77TB of storage (enough for Library of Congress) Perspective: what would generate this?  200K E2K7 users  85 average 4 vCPU DBs Perspective: What did this take?  3 CX3-80s, K RPM drives, 77TB of storage (enough for Library of Congress)

Not So Hard...  Here, for 40,000 IOPs, 240 FC drives replaced with 8 flash drives –Cost of 8 flash drives cheaper than 240 FC drives –Pay only for the software on 8 drives (as opposed to 240 drives) –Supporting hardware, maintenance, and space costs are lower –Power efficiency is also a source of savings (6kW vs. 143 kW)  TCO savings ~80% in example DrivesSW & Maint Infra- structure HW Maint PowerResp Time $0 $300K $100K $200K TCO Breakdown Flash Fibre Channel Space

Avamar Data Store or Avamar server EMC’s Avamar : How Source De- duplication Works Global Data De-duplication Instances  Client agent scans the data for changes  Modified files broken into sub-file variable length segments  Only unique sub-file segments are backed up Queries local file cache to identify and disregard static files Compresses and applies a hash to each object Queries local hash cache, and then the Avamar server to determine if objects are unique

Data Protection Built for VMware: Simple File Level Backup and Restore Customers want simple file-level backup and recovery –Need broad guest OS support –Need a catalog of all files backed up –Somehow need to get 4-10x more data through the same pipe (with more data/VMs every day!) –Somehow need to shrink the backup window and lower cost EMC and VMware Deliver: –90% reduction in VMDK backup storage requirements = huge cost savings –Source de-duplication - before transfer across the network, resulting in higher consolidation ratios –Reduction in Backup Network Traffic = remote office backup is a possibility –10x Improvement in Backup Times –Simple File Level Recovery for broad guest OSes –Scales from Virtual Appliances up to Petabytes
