Business Continuity and Availability

  6. HP LeftHand SAN SolutionsFeatures and Benefits

  7. Storage Architectures and Trains • A scale up architecture is like a freight train • Array controllers: 1-2 locomotives for performance & redundancy • Disk shelves: Wagons for capacity • For a short train, locomotive has lots of horsepower • It‘s very cost effective to add wagons • Adding wagons may exceed power limits • A scale out architecture is like a metro train • Each wagon holds capacity and performance • If engine in one wagon goes off, other wagons take over • Adding wagons scales performance in parallel • The combination functions like a single train 7

  8. 5 features of every HP LeftHand SAN

  9. SAN/iQ Storage Clustering Cluster for reliability, performance and ease of management Storage clustering • Aggregates critical components • Data is load balanced • Predictable scalability Grow on your terms • Scale-out storage • Non-disruptive • Throttle bandwidth Storage tiering • Optimized for type of data • Online volume migration Simple centralized management • One step server-volume mapping • Integrated performance management Storage Node SAS CPU NICs Disk Cache Hardware RAID Redundant Power & Cooling SAN/iQ Storage Software SATA Centralized Management Console

  10. SAN/iQ Network RAID Always on storage, data availability during any failure Beyond component redundancy • Protects data from array failure • Synchronous mirroring (replication) • Configure on a per-volume basis • Configure on-the-fly, no down time High availability • Multiple disks, controllers, or arrays • Zero disruption of data access • Ensures “high availability” for data SAN/iQ Cluster A D A D A B A B C B C B C D C D • The goal for SAN availability is "no nines," or 100% availability. (Gartner,2007) • Human error and firmware bugs are the weakest links, even in properly deployed SANs. (Gartner, 2007)

  11. SAN/iQ Multi-site SAN Real-time protection from an entire site failure Protect Storage By: • Racks • Room • Floor • Building • Site Keep Data Online During: • Facility disruption • Natural disaster • Site maintenance SAN/iQ Cluster SAN/iQ Multi-site SAN A D A D A B A B C B C B C D C D Volumes Remain Online

  12. SAN/iQ Thin Provisioning Raise storage utilization, increase ROI and reduce costs Cost Savings • Purchase only what you need today • Allocate only as data is written • No reserve necessary • Integrated with Volumes, SmartClones, Snapshots and Remote Copies Delay Future Storage Purchases • Grow capacity as warranted • Safely oversubscribe storage for applications Simple to Manage • Enable/disable with radio button on per-volume basis Full Provisioned Allocated 200 GB Available 0 GB Used 0 GB Wasted 200 GB Allocated 200 GB Available 0 GB Used 50 GB Wasted 150 GB Allocated 200 GB Available 0 GB Used 100 GB Wasted 100 GB Waste 50 GB written 50 GB written 200 GB Volume Thin Provisioned Allocated 100GB Available 100GB Used 100GB Wasted 0GB Allocated 0GB Available 200GB Used 0GB Wasted 0GB Allocated 50GB Available 150GB Used 50GB Wasted 0GB Available 50 GB written 50 GB written 200 GB Volume

  13. SAN/iQ SmartClone Cost efficient volume copies for quick provisioning • Realize cost savings through cloning • No duplicate data, only changes are stored • Ideal for storing system images • Instant provisioning of volume copies for test and development • Testing can be done with real data • No impact to production SAN/iQCluster SmartClone Volumes

  14. SAN/iQ Snapshot Point-in-time, space-efficient backup and recovery Simplified Backup and Recovery • Point-in-time volume copies • Scheduled, ad hoc or scripted Functional • Volume rollback • Recover granular data • Backup integration • Microsoft VSS • VMware VCB Space Efficient • Thin provisioned always • Delta changes only • No snap reservation SAN/iQCluster 1:00 1:00 2:00 3:00

  15. Recovery Server SAN/iQ Remote Copy Time and space-efficient replication for backup and DR Asynchronous Replication • Per volume basis • Scheduled or manual • Thin provisioned • No reserve space required • Incremental failback Simple to Manage • Bandwidth management • Failover / Failback Wizard SAN 1 Vol_1 (Primary) SAN 2 Vol_1 (Remote) Vol_1 (Primary) 2:00 2:00 1:00 1:00 Baseline Copy 3:00 3:00 Incremental Copy Incremental Copy

  16. Non-disruptive management These activities occur far more frequently in a virtualized environment – legacy SANs (LUNs) are statically provisioned and far less flexible • The following management activities are done without downtime or loss of volume access: • Adding or removing storage nodes from a cluster • Restriping (load balancing) iSCSI volumes as new nodes are added • Recovering a storage node • Changing volume size • Changing a volume from thin provisioned to full provisioned, or vice versa • Changing network RAID (availability) settings on a volume • Migrating a volume from one SAN/iQ cluster to another • Taking a volume snapshot or remote copy • SAN/iQ (firmware) upgrades 16
