11. How Hitachi data ingestor migrates files
3/31/2017
Application writes a file to Hitachi Data Ingestor (HDI)
Hitachi Data Ingestor replicates the file to Hitachi Content Platform (HCP)
Users can “pin” files of their choices to make them stay on HDI all the time
When system capacity reaches 90%, HDI deletes “non-pinned” files in excess of the threshold and creates 4KB link stubs to replace them
Users access the files as they always have, since links are transparent to clients
Reading a link recalls the file back into HDI
Recalled files are deleted from HDI later and replaced by another link, based on HDI system capacity and least-recently-used criteria

12. Hitachi data ingestor: intelligent caching
Features
Intelligent cache management
Identifies and retains newer and more frequently accessed files
Cache tuned to edge deployments with WAN connectivity
Advanced capacity management and high performance
Benefits
Faster access to frequently used files – active files stay on HDI all the time
Enhanced replication performance
Maximum capacity utilization
Free up bandwidth over the WAN
capability
method
Stubbing frequency
Files are stubbed every hour
LRU algorithm
Oldest files are purged first, based on atime and mtime attributes; newer files stay in cache longer
Read cache
Recalled files stay in cache until the next capacity- management process

13. How Hitachi Data Ingestor Maps to the core
3/31/2017
How Hitachi Data Ingestor Maps to the core
Clients write to assigned file systems
Each file system is mapped to its designated namespace
Each namespace can be shared by multiple HDIs
Content sharing enables edge dispersion

Benefits
Satisfy multiple applications, varying SLAs and workload types or organizations
Determine utilization and chargeback per customer
Edge dispersion: each HDI can access another when set up that way
Enable advanced features at one branch or at more granular level
Examples: replication, encryption, DPL levels (how many copies to keep), compliance and retention, compression and versioning

14. Compliance and Governance Capabilities
3/31/2017
Flexible retention support and WORM functionality using an industry-standard atime-based interface and automated settings
Retention is an optional setting
Allows you to specify a file’s retention date; the file is then protected by strict WORM restrictions
While under retention, WORM files cannot be deleted
WORM files are immutable, even after retention expires
WORM files cannot be renamed
Directories containing WORM files cannot be renamed
Retention settings are transferred to Hitachi Content Platform as files are migrated
Retention can be tunable per file system
Support for backup and restore of retention properties

15. Sharing supports a single writer with many readers
Content Sharing
A Hitachi Data Ingestor system can map to a Hitachi Content Platform (HCP) tenant to write content and potentially read content from other HCP tenants

16. Content sharing Use Case: Medical Image File Sharing
Hospital A stores medical files to file system A of Hitachi Data Ingestor A
The files are migrated to namespace A on Hitachi Content Platform (HCP)
Hospital B can read the files through file system A, which is mapped to namespace A on Hitachi Content Platform

18. File restore Hitachi Data Ingestor Hitachi Content Platform ・・・
Hitachi Data Ingestor (HDI) creates a snapshot directory for each migration
Snapshot are created under a history directory
User can access snapshot files for specified migrations under “.history/<date+time>/<original path>” and can restore a snapshot file to the current working directory
