• A procedure used to upgrade storage processors while leaving all data and

configurations intact– Use Case: Customer wants higher performance and/or has hit system limits

• DIP conversion will be an offline procedure and customer installable

• Can upgrade from a lower model to any higher performing model of the same

type

– Both All-Flash and Hybrid systems› All-Flash -> All-Flash

› Hybrid -> Hybrid

• D@RE does not affect ability to perform DIP conversion

Q32016


• Wear information of Flash drives propagated up the software stack to

other Unity OE software components• Slice allocation requests now take into account wear level

• Wear information is propagated at the RAID Group level per storage resource• Decide which RAID Group to allocate new slices to balance wear across other RAID Groups

• Information not user visible

• Wear alerts are generated at 180, 90, and 30 days

• Proactive copy (PACO) is automatically initiated at 30 days to spare

drive• Drive health updated to show faulted state and no longer usable by system

Block tiering to the Cloud with CloudArray and VPLEX

CloudArray with VPLEX

40TB FC

CloudArray Cloud Provider and Protocol Compatibility Matrix

Integrations• Support for 20+ cloud providers

Performance• Archive inactive data/capacity expansion

• Recently accessed data remains local

• Sophisticated bandwidth throttler

• In-flight & at-rest compression

Security• 256-bit AES encryption

• Local key management

Efficiencies • 10x capacity supported in the cloud

• Reduce CAPEX / Lower OPEX

• Improve backup performance

• Consolidate data from multiple remote branches UNITY

Scalable Enterprise File System

Traditional and Transactional NAS Use Cases

SCALE-UP

FILE SYSTEMScales to 64TB usable

capacity per file system with

higher overall limits

SPACE EFFICIENT

SNAPSHOTSPointer based snaps with

simple space reclaim and low

IO impact

SIMPLIFIED

QUOTASUser and Tree Quotas with

Policy-based file tiering to the Cloud using CTA

Free up primary storage resources

Automated File Tiering

• Policy based tiering

– Age-based / Time-activated

• No end user impact

– Stub-based tiering

Immediate Savings

• Zero dollar license

• Frees up inactive file storage

• Reduced backup window


Inline Compression (ILC)

INTELLIGENT INLINE COMPRESSION

• Enabled through Unisphere GUI or CLI

• Non-disruptive

• Compress existing data

• LUN Level (all-flash pools)

• Supports all data services

• Only compresses where there will be sufficient savings

2:1Expected Savings

Unity can now support ~16PBe capacity

* Mileage will vary


• A new write path enhancement

• A performance feature• Managed and regulated automatically

• Leverages existing Unity architecture including

pool slices and system cache• Supported on both file and block resources

• Supported on existing resources created before upgrade

Quality of Service (QoS)

IOPS

BANDWIDTH

• Supported on Unity &UnityVSA

• System wide Pause/Resume control

– Paused by default

• Host IO Limits are based on a user created policy

– A LUN without a Host IO Limit is not impacted

– Does not limit internal IO (migration, replication, etc.)

– Host IO Limit settings can be changed at any time• Without Pausing/Resuming Host IO Limits on the system

• Enhanced feature:

– Bursting: Addresses a temporary needs for more performance


• 512 Limits• More granular control

• Limit by IOPS, BW, or both

• Apply to:• Individual LUNs

• Group of LUNs

• VMFS Datastores

• Attached Snapshots

• Can assign total limit to be

shared among LUNs in Group

• Can move LUN(s) to other
