Why DS8880 with Integrated Flash?

IBM Systems 14

• 1U drawer … 30 Flash cards (1.8″ form factor)

− developed in synergy with System p, FlashSystem and DS8000 development teams

• Optimised for true flash performance

• Integrated RAID and switch function

− Capabilities that are provided in the Device Adapter (RAID) and Storage Enclosure

(switch) for traditional HDDs and SSDs

• Two large-cache SAS adapters especially designed for Flash

− With 800 GB drives = up to 24 TB raw

− Directly connected to DS8000 internal PCIe fabric

• High-Performance Flash Enclosure is x8 PCIe attached to both POWER8 servers in

the base frame

− New slot positions in I/O bays are used

− DS8870: x4 attachment / + adapter cards to redrive the PCIe signal to the enclosure

• Enterprise class RAS

- High-Availability 2W Cluster

- RAID 5/10 mirrored/protected write cache

• Easy Tier enabled

SSD refers to a flash media based storage device that is accessed and

managed as a logical disk drive, consisting of a standard disk drive

interface (such as SAS or SATA). Their sizes are 1.8 and 2.5 inches

Flash technology can be used in many forms …

IBM Systems Flash Storage Offerings

All-flash array (AFA)

Mixed

(HDD/SSD/CFH)All-Custom Flash

Hardware (CFH)All-SSD

Hybrid-flash array (HFA)

CFH defines an architecture that uses optimised flash modules to provide

better performance and lower latency than SSDs. Examples of CFH are:

• High-Performance Flash Enclosure Gen-2

• FlashSystem MicroLatency Module

• All-flash arrays are storage solutions that only use

flash media (CFH or SSDs) designed to deliver maximum

performance for application and workload where speed is critical.

• Hybrid-flash arrays are storage solutions that

support a mix of HDDs, SSDs and CFH designed to provide a

balance between performance, capacity and cost for a variety of

workloads

The DS8880 Family offers All-flash and Hybrid-flash with CFH,

SSD and HDD configurations designed to satisfy a wide range of

business needs from superior performance to cost efficient

Flash brings real benefits that justify the investment by far …

Besides the performance benefits, there are additional compelling advantages when

adopting Flash technology

Source: Justifying Investment in All-Flash Arrays. IDC August 2016

1.Meet or exceed the performance

level agreements with far fewer

devices

2.Flash requires lower energy

and less floor space

consumption

3.Fewer servers are required

due to better CPU utilization

4. Fewer servers require

less spending on

software licenses

5. Lower operating and

administrative costs

6. Better reliability since flash is

based on electronic rather

than mechanical media

RAID-6 for mission-critical protection

Drive media is rapidly increasing in capacity to 10 TB and more. The greater density provides real

cost advantages but requires changes in the types of RAID protection used.

In order to improve data availability, IBM moves protection to the next level by enabling RAID-6

as default in the GUI for all drive types.

1 2 3 4 5 6 P

S

RAID-5

1 2 3 4 5 Q P

S

RAID-6

RAID-5 uses one parity drive whereas RAID-6 uses two

RAID-6 ensures business continuity for mission-critical applications because: Data is still protected event if a second drive fails while the first failed drive is being rebuilt

Information placed in unreadable regions in a specific drive can be detected, isolated and recovered

from the remaining drives

RAID-6 provides a 1000x improvement over RAID-5 for impact risk

The use of RAID-6 rather than RAID-5 can dramatically reduce the probability of drive failures

providing increased protection for workloads where data integrity is critical

The DS8880 family takes the increased risks posed by high-capacity drives very seriously
