 DAE = drives only
 DPE = storage processors + 2.5” drives
 SPE = storage processors
Drives
 Add DAEs up to the maximum capacity allowed
 Can mix drive types in the same DAE (e.g. 7.2K rpm +
SSD + 15K rpm +NL-SAS
 Can mix different DAES in a system (e.g. 15 drives, 25
drives and 60 drive DAEs)
File Only or Unified Base
 Need block hardware + file hardware

• Easily upgrade to higher performance VNX platform
– No lengthy data migrations
• Cost-effective scaling:
– Conversions across the VNX family reuse installed SAS DAEs, drives,
and Flex IO Modules
• Considerations
– Conversions of DPE based systems only VNX5200 to VNX 5800
– For File or Unified platform, DM blades will be required to be
swapped coincident with the back-end change-out
– Small restriction on upgrade paths
• Systems with NL-SAS as vault not upgradeable if not supported

HIGH AVAILABILITY PATH MANAGEMENT FOR MISSION-
CRITICAL BLOCK APPLICATIONS
Standardize path management
• Deploy common technology across physical and
virtual environments
Optimize data path pools
• Leverage algorithms designed to optimize data paths
to VNX series arrays
Automate multi-pathing policies
• Simplify path failover and recovery
• Optimize load balancing
All data paths are active,
optimized for load balancing
EMC PowerPath
H A R D W A R E

• PowerPath/VE’s intelligent load
balancing recognizes that the
paths are not equal
• PowerPath/VE redirects more I/O
to the less busy paths
• Optimizing the I/O paths results in
overall greater throughput for the
PowerPath/VE host
– MPIO with Round Robin continues to
use all equally resulting in longer I/O
completion times and less throughput

ADVANCED POOL OPTIMIZATION FUNCTIONALITY
AUTOMATIC DATARELOCATION WITHIN A TIER
1. Storage Pool Rebalancing after pool expansion
– Improves pool performance by balancing data
across all drives in pool
▪ Re-distributes data across private RAID groups to
avoid hot spots
▪ Allows users to expand pool capacity in small
increments
2. Load balancing within a tier
– Relocates within tier, based on activity level
– Occurs as part of FAST VP relocation
▪ During user-defined tiering relocation window
– “No Data Movement” tiering policy WILL allow load
balance within a tier

DEDUPLICATION USE CASES
Use Case Description
Common Virtual
Environment –
e.g. VDI
User has a production environment known to have substantial
amounts of common blocks, and wants to deduplicate common
blocks – such as multiple desktop images for VDI.
Multi-LUN
redundant data
User has an environment with substantial amounts of common
blocks – spanning multiple LUNs – such as where there are test
databases, or file systems with duplicate parts of files, which the
user wants to deduplicate.
Multiple LUNs
from one original
source
User has an environment with multiple LUNs which all derive from
the same data set, thus sharing substantial amounts of common
blocks, which the user wants to deduplicate.

INTEROPERABILITY WITH DEDUPLICATION
 FAST VP – support for deduplication in tiered pools
▪ Single FAST VP Policy controls affect entire deduplication container
▪ When LUN is enabled for deduplication, its current FAST settings are “remembered” and will be
reestablished if deduplication is later disabled on that LUN
 Local Protection – support with Snaps and Clones
– VNX Snapshots use same block sharing (will be lost when enabling/disabling)
– SnapView Snaps work as well – but Reserved LUNs cannot be deduplicated
– Clones should be in separate pool from the source data, for best protection
 Remote Protection – support with RecoverPoint, MirrorView and SAN Copy
 LUN Migration – support for migration within a given pool and between pools
– Migration from one deduplication container to another container results in lost deduplication for LUN
 VNX Data at Rest Encryption – fully supported
 Compression – not concurrently supported in first release of Deduplication
– Compression is not supported within the container; thus Deduplication and Compression would
counteract each other

• Statistics collection—cumulative I/O history (reads and writes)
– Weights recent I/O history above longer-term I/O history
– Maintains relative ranking of all data in pool, based on tier preference and I/O history:
• Highest tier preference and high activity level get highest priority
• Highest tier preference with less activity level get next highest priority
• No tier preference (Auto-Tier) with high activity level gets next highest priority
• After pool creation, detected in next poll cycle for inclusion in statistics collection
– LUNs created in pool likewise detected in next poll cycle for inclusion in statistics collection
– Poll occurs every hour
– Relocation estimate—“amount to move up/down”—updated every hour
• Tier utilization
– Algorithm attempts to gain greatest utility from highest tiers
• Data is demoted as space is needed in top tiers
• Relocation granularity
– Sub-LUN “slices” are 256MB granularity

WIN 8 - CONTINUOUS AVAILABILITY (CA)
TRANSACTIONAL NAS WITH CIFS – SQL, HYPER-V, SHAREPOINT!!

• Multi-Channel IO for File
– Multiple TCP sessions can be associated
with a single SMB session
• Optimizes bandwidth
• Transparent failover and load balancing with
multiple NICs
• Offload Copy for File (Like VAAI xcopy)
– Eliminates N/W traffic, reduced host CPU
– Performance – mileage will vary
• Depends whether comparing to 1Gb / 10Gb
– Limited to single Data Mover
WIN 8 – PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS
SUPPORTS HIGH PERFORMANCE, HIGH AVAILABILITY APPLICATIONS

ADDITIONAL WIN 8 FUNCTIONALITY
Feature Value : Implementation
Directory Lease
Improved availability by avoiding stale file data situations: SMB2 had a
Directory Cache, not updated on file changes. SMB 3 will be informed of a change with
Directory Lease (create, delete, last update/modify time, File size).
Branch Cache V2
Improved performance for branch access to centralized file shares: SMB2 would
segment files into 32MB chunks. SMB3 segment size changes to 128KB so there will be
less traffic and faster response between the branch and the main office
Remote VSS Flexibility: Simplifies management of VSS services on Hyper-V VMs
Thin Provisioning
support
Efficiency and security: When Pool high water mark is met with thin LUN, Win 8 will
be alerted and event log updated.
Also supports space reclaim via SCSI UNMAP cmd, when files are deleted from NTFS on
Thin LUN. Space is returned in 256MB (MCx) or 1GB (Inyo) slices .
Data In-Flight
Encryption
Security: End-to-end encryption of SMB data in flight using AES128 algorithm. Applies
to CIFS Server or File Share. Seamless to client.

Logical PIT Copies
• Pointer-based copy of data
– Takes only seconds to create a complete snap
• Requires less space than a full copy, but has performance overhead
– Only need space for modified data
– Could result in spindle contention for concurrent reads (from source
and snap)
Physical PIT Copies (Clones)*
• Physically independent point-in-time copies of source volume
– Require the same space as the source data
– Available after initial copy
– No performance impact on source data
– Can be used to replace source after hardware or software error
• Can be incrementally re-established

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
VNX SNAPSHOTS FOR BLOCK
 VNX Snapshots use a redirect on first
write algorithm vs.
SnapView/SnapSure copy on first
write (COFW)
– Redirect on first write simply
allocates space for the new source
LUN data and results in no delay to
source LUN writes after a Snapshot
 Ease of Use
– VNX Snapshots do not require
setup. The Snapshots use available
pool space for Snapshot data

VNX SNAPSURE REPLICATION
 Provides a read-only or read-write,
point-in-time view of VNX File data
– File system-level
– 96 read-only snaps + 16 read/write snaps
per file system
– Not a mirror; saves disk space and time
– Maintains pointers to track changes to the
primary file system
 Used primarily for low-activity, read-only
applications
– Simple file undeletes
– Backup

HOW RECOVERPOINT WORKS
1. Production Data
sent to storage
3. Writes are acknowledged back to the Application from the
vRPA, which is responsible for:
• Deduplication and compression
• Monitoring and management
4. Data is sequenced,
checksummed, deduplicated,
compressed, and replicated to the
remote RecoverPoint appliances
over IP or SAN
5. Data is received, uncompressed, inflated,
sequenced, and checksummed

r B/ A / C

6. Data is

2. VNX splitter
intercepts

sends a copy
to LUN and
