  1. SharePoint Customer Presentation September 05, 2012 Stefan Voss Sr. Manager, USD Solutions Engineering

  2. Relentless Growth of Unstructured Data People / Business Processes: • Disconnected information silos • Information not available to those who need it in real-time • Governance IT Related: • TCO / Asset Utilization • Backup Windows / Recovery Processes • Version Control, user mapping, permissions Source : IDC, The Digital Universe Decade

  3. Why SharePoint? Why Now? Why VNX? Gartner Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Content Management • Why SharePoint? • Fastest growing platform in MSFT’s history • Accessible and extensible unified content platform • $2B in 2011, 20,000 seats/DAY! • Why now? • New release (Wave 15) coming in November • 67% of customers report rolling out SharePoint to the entire organization • Why EMC VNX and Metalogix? • Unified infrastructure for metadata and BLOBs • FAST Suite for performance & efficiency • Metalogix suite for file share consolidation and flexible end point management

  4. EMC / Metalogix Solution Today Centralize & Take Control Consolidate & Optimize 5% File Shares Metadata Legacy ECM BLOBs 95% Future content growth

  6. The Challenge with SharePoint BLOBs • Can’t easily or economicallyscale • Asset Utilization SQL Servers • BLOBs don’t benefit from SQL query engine. Why are they there? • Long backups / long restores • Lack of tiered storage = Poor TCO 1TB of SQL Content Database Storage 90-95% unstructured, rest metadata “Typically, as much as 80 percent of data for an enterprise-scale deployment of SharePoint Foundation consists of file-based data streams that are stored as BLOB data. These BLOB objects comprise data associated with SharePoint files. However, maintaining large quantities of BLOB data in a SQL Server database is a suboptimal use of SQL Server resources. You can achieve equal benefit at lower cost with equivalent efficiency by using an external data store to contain BLOB data.” Source: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb802976.aspx DOC PDF TIFF PPT XLS 10 x 100GB SharePoint Content Databases

  9. EMC / Metalogix Reference Architecture • Flash 1st 75% Cost Reduction via VNX FAST and smart use of SSDs and NL-SAS • FAST Cache  Up to90% Performance Improvementfor Search • FAST VP  80% less performance tuning for SQL • Lower SQL Licensing Costs due to server virtualization and RBS Metadata 5-10% FC Network VNX FAST Cache enables faster indexing/crawl/search SQL Search DB tempDB Search Query VNX FAST VP to reduce performance tuning Share SAS BLOBs 90-95% StoragePoint Rule moves BLOB from Tier 1 to Tier 2 At Invoice Date + 6 months Share NL SAS CIFS Network StoragePoint Rule moves BLOB from Tier 2 to Tier 3 At Invoice Date + 1 year Share Deep Compressed Reference Architecture: http://www.emc.com/collateral/hardware/technical-documentation/h8185-sharepoint-vnx-metalogix-psg.pdf

  10. Flexible Endpoint Management - USD VNX File Level Retention: FC Network Metadata LUN FAST Cache LUN FAST VP Encrypt sensitive data before it is moved to storage endpoint (up to 256-bit) Share NL SAS Use Advanced Filters to move HR data to where retention / compliance is ensured Share FLR Active Data CIFS Network • Set retention periods at file system creation • Default/minimum/maximum • Automatic File Lock and Delete Archive / Big Data

  11. Virtualizing SharePoint is Essential

  12. Three Sources of Savings and Efficiency • Better Asset Utilization • File Share typically not well utilized • VNX Utilization ~70% on SAS / NL-SAS and up to 90% on SSD • More Efficiency via Flash 1st • Results in fewer drives, lower energy bills, and lower $/GB • Also lower $/IOPS via FAST Suite • Lower SQL licensing via RBS and virtualization • Reduce database size and increase VM density per physical server

  13. Lower $/GB and $ / IOPS With RBS No RBS Metalogix StoragePoint LOWEST$/IO Metadata 5-10% SSD$.99/IO BLOBs 90-95% Average$/GB LOWEST$/GB SAS–15K $2/GB NL-SAS $.43/GB • Example: • Avg. Capacity VNX5300 = 50TB • Without RBS on SAS-15K: $100K • With RBS and 5% SSD and 95% NL-SAS: $40-50K

  14. VNX FAST Cache boosts SQL2012 IOPS • FAST Cache: 14 x 100GB SSDs • Working Set < FAST Cache • Results: • 5x Improvement of IOPS and TPS • 30 Minute Cache Warming TPS

  15. Lower SQL Licensing Costs • SQL Server is rarely CPU constrained • For SharePoint the performance bottleneck tends to be the WFE • Idle CPU = Wasted licensing $$ • SQL2012 Server Enterprise Licensing: • Physical: per physical core • Virtual: per vCPU (all you can eat per physical core) • No cost difference between a physical core and vCPU • Virtualization = greater VM density and lower SQL licensing costs • Savings determined by vCPU : Core Ratio (e.g. 4:1 ratio =75% savings) • RBS leads to smaller databases • Fewer servers overall with fewer cores / vCPUs to license • Have to weigh against performance / CPU utilization • Perfmon and other tools to help determine the right mix

  16. Large Government Contractor EMC VNX and Metalogix StoragePoint Improves Operational Agility and Performance • Challenge • Internally facing communications site, which included large amounts of rapidly changing large objects • Page load times and backup / recovery times Derek Martin Cloud Solutions Architect “The dashboard reports showed that I was now saving >90% of my storage on the expensive SQL drives.” • Results • Average page load time improved by 4x after RBS • Backup times from SQL and SharePoint reduced by a factor of 13x • >90% moved from expensive SQL drives to NL-SAS

  17. All depends on the recovery objectives! Database, Database + BLOBs, Database + BLOBs + Farm Local vs. Remote Granularity Methods Used: Native Microsoft tools including log shipping Third-party backup products (e.g. Avamar) Array-based replication (snapshots/clones) Issues with common approach aka native tools Long and manual restore process (hours to days) Two options that are RBS aware are Metalogix Selective Restore Manager and EMC Replication Manager / VNX Snaps Reduce restore times down from hours to minutes Item-level restore Proper sequence of backup and recovery must be followed Recovery Options

  18. Open / browse local or remote SharePoint farm Provision SharePoint Web Application: Create disks Create content database Create Web Application Attach the content database Create content database only (no WFE) Web Application can be created later using SharePoint admin and the database created in ESI Provisioning SharePoint - ESI leave unchecked Users can select any SQL server that is part of the farm and any instance in that server.

  19. Health Monitoring in the Private Cloud • EMC System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) Management Packs: • Array discovery & health monitoring • Full hierarchical storage schema and relationship view • Dashboards incl. physical view (SPs, DAEs, NICs, HBAs, Drives) and logical view (RAID Groups, Volumes/Pools, LUNs, Protocols…) • Performance Monitoring • End to end application service view • Map / visualize relationships between storage and SharePoint farm • EMC System Center Orchestrator (SCO) Management Packs: • Focal point for automation of heterogeneous datacenter management • Service Manager for workflows and pre-defined run books • 21 storage activities and counting • Example Drive failure: • Gather SP Collects • Post on pre-defined share • Send alerts to admin

  20. RBS Options & Feature Comparison

  21. Storage Admin Database Admin SharePoint Admin 86 min Remember, this traditional approach requires three Administrators, who may work in different departments. So there is a cross-department dependency, which would have an associated lead time. EMC Storage Integrator 20 min
