    Scale-Out NAS

    Simplifying Storage and Accelerating Results
  2. File-Based Data on Traditional Storage Complexity and Cost! Tremendous Inefficiencies: Increased storage management Poor system utilization Over-provisioning of space, energy and cooling Licensing and re-licensing software applications Downtime for data migrations and upgrades Managing downtime for multiple business units OpEx Storage Management -Staff 100’s of File Systems 1000’s of Mount Points Limited Scalability Limited Throughput CapEx Over-provision acquisition Application Licenses
  3. Traditional Storage Inefficiencies Many File Systems/Volumes (Islands of Storage) Utilization rates vary across islands QOS headroom Performance considerations = Net Utilization 50% - 65% File System Volume Aggregate (~ 16TB) RAID
  4. OneFS > Linear w Scale Traditional Performance N-Nodes Controller Performance PERFORMANCE PERFORMANCE CAPACITY CAPACITY “With traditional storage, my best day is always my first day…”
  5. Traditional Scale-Up IsilonScale-Out Natural Bottlenecks Power of Parallelism Controller (Intra-cluster Infiniband) Enterprise Class Disk Shelves Scale Capacity ISILON IQ NODES Controllers & trays of disk Many systems or 2-way clusters Many file systems/volumes Many points of management Up to 144 nodes, 20+ PB OneFS™ distributed file system Single file system/namespace Single point of management Network I/O N-Storage Islands N-Way Symmetrical Cluster
  6. EMC Isilon Scale-Out Innovation Massive Scalability Up to 20 PB in a single file system Unmatched Performance Up to 50 GB/s of throughput Over 1 Million IOPS Management Simplicity “Set it, and forget it” 60 sec upgrades No forklift upgrades App Performance Scalability
  7. Scale-Out vs. Scale-Up File Systems Volumes RAID Aggregates
  8. What Makes Isilon Unique?The Isilon Difference Scalability Scale both capacity and performance together, or scale only capacity or performance independently Ease of Management Install in less than 1 hour, capacity and/or performance in less than 5 minutes never need to do any raid, volume management or performance tuning Investment protection You will neverhave to do a migration or forklift upgrade with Isilon - when you need more capacity, just add it to the existing cluster Utilization and Efficiency Achieve 80+% storage utilization; eliminate hot spots and bottlenecks Data Protection Dynamically set and adjust data protection ( N+1, N+2, N+3 and N+4) at the directory or file levels Tiering File system tiring that does not change file placement or disrupt data access
  9. EMC Isilon’s Scale-Out NAS Solution OPERATING SYSTEM SOFTWARE PLATFORM NODES
  10. Modular, Node-Based ArchitectureScalable OneFS™ Distributed File System Modular, self-contained nodes each include: Standard GigE and 10 GigE front-end network High-performance, low-latency back-end network Hexa-core Intel processors 4-192 GB global read/write cache Hot-swappable disks, power supplies, and fans; virtual spares
  11. Isilon Node Types Create & Capture Process Archive NL-Series X-Series S-Series High-transactional and IO-intensive applications Isilon IQ X200 Cost-effective, long-term and high capacity storage Isilon IQ S200 Isilon IQ NL400 Isilon IQ X400 High-concurrent and throughput applications Isilon S-Series SAS (16TB – 2PB) Isilon X-Series SATA (18TB – 20PB) Isilon NL-Series SATA (108TB – 20PB)
  12. Fast, Non-Disruptive UpgradesEasy to Manage OneFS™ scales from 15 TB to over 15 PB in a in a single file system Add capacity in under 60 seconds with no downtime Traditional Scale-Up NAS limited to 16TB file systems
  13. AutoBalance migrates contentto new nodes while system is online and inproduction Requires NO manual intervention, NO reconfiguration, NO server or client mount point or application changes Eliminate “Hot Spots” Using Software to Improve Storage EfficiencyEasy to Manage AutoBalanceAutomated data balancing across nodes reduces costs, complexity and risks for scaling storage BALANCED EMPTY FULL BALANCED EMPTY FULL BALANCED EMPTY FULL BALANCED EMPTY FULL BALANCED EMPTY
  14. Old Way New Way No More Data Migrations to New HardwareInvestment Protection LAN
  15. Useable Efficiency Grows with the ClusterSuperior Capacity Utilization 10 Node Cluster N+1 Parity 3 Node Cluster N+1 Parity 6 Node Cluster N+1 Parity
  16. N+M File Striping and ProtectionFlexible Data Protection Multi-parity, “software-based RAID” - not disk-based RAID File-based protection (defined at cluster, directory and/or file level) Files striped across N nodes, protected against M failures
  17. DATA PROTECTION Simple, scalable and flexible data protection Full Suite of Enterprise Software Options POLICY-BASED AUTOMATED TIERING Combine multiple storage tiers into a single file system DATA ACCESS Policy-based client load balancing with NFS failover STORAGE MANAGEMENT Quota management and thin provisioning DATA REPLICATION Fast and flexible file-base asynchronous replication STORAGE RESOURCE MANAGEMENT Analytics platform to maximize performance and resource utilization DATA RETENTION MANAGEMENT WORM functionality enforces file-level retention
  18. Single File System for Multiple Tiers Archive MB/s I/Ops Technical Innovation Single Point of Management Single File System Scale Any Application Tiers of Performance Automatic Data Movement Policy-Based Movement Transparent Reallocation NO application-changes File-Level Granularity Performance/Layout Protection Settings Infiniband Core Network
