Data Growth and Data Aging inactive ~ 50% active ~ 15% moderately active ~ 35% Hot Cold Warm
Storage Sizingbased on HDD Customer requirement: 150TB Tier-1 Storage 40.000 IOPS Because: Offloading old and cold data will free up capacity but still 240 HDD’s are needed to meet IO performance requirements Cold data doesn’t need any disk performance • Flash Cache • Flash Pool Should cold data get offloaded? ….. ….. It depends, but probably not 240 Disks 312 Disks 144 Disks 312 Disks x 900 GB SAS = 250TB usable 282 Disks x 150 IOPS / Disk = 42.300 IOPS 240 Disks x 900 GB SAS = 180TB usable 144 Disk x 6 TB SATA = 700TB usable
Flash Storage changedthe Game Customer requirement: 150TB Tier-1 Storage 40.000 IOPS Because: Offloading old and cold data will reduce the primary storage capacity and you still overachieve the IO performance requirements Cold data can be stored on low cost storage and doesn’t need IO performance anyway Should cold Data get offloaded? ….. ….. YES!!! 24 Disks 48 Disks 144 Disks Safe 50% Capacity and still overachieve IO requirements! 144 Disk x 6 TB SATA = 700TB usable 48 Disk x 3,8 TB SSD = 160TB usable 24 Disk x 3,8 TB SSD = 80TB usable DataOptimizer
