1 New approach to the design and deployment of storage
Piotr Biskupski – IBM STG Poland IBM Forum 2012 – Estonia Tallinn, October 9, 2012

2 To realize the promise of a Smarter Planet, enterprises must address the IT challenges that have emerged. 31.9 million servers worldwide Internet connected devices—22B in 2020 (24.9% CAGR) Since 2000 security vulnerabilities grew eightfold Last 10 years servers up 2X and virtual machines up 42% CAGR The volume of digital content, up 48% from 2011, is expected to reach 2.7 ZB (1ZB = 1 billion terabytes) in 2012 and 8ZB by 2015. Data centers have doubled energy use in past 5 years And respond to demands for new services… Real-time analytics workloads growing 13% CAGR with related server spend growing 3x average Collaborative software workloads growing 10% CAGR …while dealing with constraints like a flat budget. 2 2 2 2

12 Thin-provisioning Traditional (“fully allocated”) virtual disks use physical disk capacity for the entire capacity of a virtual disk even if it is not used With thin-provisioning, Storwize V70000 allocates and uses physical disk capacity when data is written Available at no additional charge with base virtualization license Support all hosts supported with traditional volumes and all advanced features (EasyTier, FlashCopy, etc.) Reclaiming Unused Disk Space When using Volume Mirroring to copy from a fully-allocated volume to a thin-provisioned volume, Storwize V7000 will not copy blocks that are all zeroes When processing a write request, Storwize V7000 detects if all zeroes are being written and does not allocate disk space for such requests in the thin-provisioned volumes Helps avoid space utilization concerns when formatting Volumes Done at Grain Level (32/64/128/256KiB)  If grain contains all zeros don’t write Dynamic growth Without thin provisioning, pre-allocated space is reserved whether the application uses it or not With thin provisioning, applications can grow dynamically, but only consume space they are actually using

13 Real-Time Compression
A compressed Volume is a third type of volume Regular (fully allocated) Thin Provisioned (Space Efficient) Compressed A compressed volume is “a kind of” Thin Provisioning Compression supports all Thin Provisioning features (e.g. autoexpand) Only uses physical storage to store the compressed version of the volume Can be on back-end virtualized storage Supported with CLI and GUI GUI also has a preset for compressed volumes Performance monitoring tab support for Compression CPU resource usage Compression operates at a volume copy level Maximum of 200 compressed Volume copies per IO group Specified at creation of the volume copy No conversion in place, but a volume can be converted via Volume Mirroring1 Compressed volumes can be source and target of Remote Copy relationship or FlashCopy mapping Data between copies is uncompressed Storwize V7000 R W W Copy 1 Copy 0 13

15 15 Orion (Oracle I/O Calibration Tool) is a standalone tool for calibrating the I/O performance for storage systems that are intended to be used for Oracle databases. The calibration results are useful for understanding the performance capabilities of a storage system, either to uncover issues that would impact the performance of an Oracle database or to size a new database installation

17 Optimized performance and throughput
IBM EasyTier Hot-spots Optimized performance and throughput Transparent reorganization What is Easy Tier? A function that dynamically re- distributes active data across multiple tiers of storage class based on workload characteristics The goal being to reduce response time Users have automatic and semi-automatic extent based placement and migration management Why it matters? Solid State Storage has orders of magnitude better throughput and response time with random reads Full volume allocation to SSD only benefits a small number of volumes or portions of volumes, and use cases Allowing dynamic movement of the hottest extents to be transferred to the highest performance storage enables a small number of SSD to benefit the entire infrastructure Works with Thin-provisioned Volumes Hot-spots Optimized performance and throughput Automatic Relocation SSDs HDDs

23 IBM Active Cloud Engine™
IBM Storwize v7000 unified IBM Active Cloud Engine™ NAS Unified innovative GUI SAN virtualization Snapshot Easy Tier Storwize V7000 and now Storwize V7000 Unified are platforms where IBM is integrating together the best of our technologies to deliver great value and efficiency to midsized customers. A year ago, we integrated things like a great user interface from our XIV system, Easy Tier from our DS8000 system, and virtualization from our SAN Volume Controller offering. About six months later, we added clustering capability. And now we're adding NAS capability from a common IBM NAS platform. All of these technologies coming together in a midrange storage system. We're bringing all the resources of IBM and focusing them to help midsized customers. Now, let’s go to chart 10… RAID IBM Storwize V7000 Cluster system*

24 Storwize V7000 Overview Modular Hardware Building Blocks
3/25/2017 Storwize V7000 Overview Modular Hardware Building Blocks What if we took what we had been doing in SVC for years, but shrunk the 1U server form factor into a much more storage friendly form factor. Say Storage Bridge Bay (SBB) for example. We could still have, the Fibre-Channel "PCIe card", a SAS "PCIe card", maybe even a PCIe internode connection and still have spare room for another TBD "PCIe card".... people have been doing micro and even smaller PC formfactors for years... The same goes for the battery, since we need a way to hold up power/memory to enable a graceful shutdown should the site power be lost. With SVC we've been using a separate 1U UPS, but why not embed the battery in the PSU itself, rather than take up space in the control canister. The SVC code stack has a hefty investment in the PMC Sierra Tachyon based Fibre Channel cards, and like the latest CF8 node hardware the Storwize V7000 uses their QE8 - 4 port 8Gbit protocol chip. In addition we are using their SPC SAS protocol chip, which the observant will know is the same chip we provided as an optional feature on the CF8 node hardware with the SSD attachment. The base controller unit also includes a PMC SAS Expander chip, this is connected to one of the wide ports on the SPC chip and to the 12 or 24 internal drive phys on the control enclosure.
