Storage Consolidation with Traditional SANs
Storage Efficiency at the Expense of Application Predictability
All I/Os are created equal
•
Contention for storage resources
•
Performance is unpredictable
•
Some applications are starved
•
Monolithic, 2-controller designs
•
Require an expensive buy-in
–Limit scalability
–Fork-lift upgrades for full scaling
–
SAN
Islands of Storage with Traditional SANs
The Only Way to Deliver Predictable Performance
Scalable number of servers
per island
•
Higher availability for servers
and storage
•
Each SAN array requires it’s own
management, no benefit compared
to DAS
•
No significant financial benefit

QoS is more than where you sit, it’s also the priority and
class of service you get
•How fast you board and exit
•The number of attendants per passenger
•The seat size and leg room
•The entertainment selections
Pillar Axiom: 5 Levels of Quality of Service
Aligning Storage Performance with Business Value
Pillar Axiom: Patented Quality of Service
Deterministic I/O Prioritization
Cache allocation implicitly
controlled via QoS settings
Controls CPU cycles, IO priority, and
RAID grouping
Distributed RAID controllers add back-end
bandwidth as capacity grows
Controls read/write
bias and RAID type
QoS settings control drive type, count,
and data placement
QoS Provisioning Attributes
Size of the LUN
●
Input value is on per GB basis (Fat or Thin)
●
Storage Class
●
Configure storage on preferred media (SSD, FC, SATA)
●
Priority vs. other Volumes
●
Configure based upon application priority
●
Access Bias
●
Identify how data blocks are accessed
●Random vs. sequential
●
I/O Bias
●
Read vs. Write characteristic
●
Redundancy
●
Standard: LUN is stored once across Bricks with RAID protection
●Double: LUN is stored twice across different Bricks with RAID protection (mirrored copy) for
higher availability
●
Create your own Application Profile
For your home grown applications, you can create your own Application Profile
Extending QoS: Pillar Axiom Storage Domains
Additional Performance and Security Isolation
Create up to 64 Physical
Domains in a Single Axiom
No data co-mingling: Isolate
application data or workloads to
physical locations
•
Separate user groups or
departments to different physical
locations
•
Separate access protocols to
different physical drive groupings
•
Domain 2
Domain 1
Continuous data availability during
maintenance and upgrades
•
Domain 3
