Overview of the Top 3 innovations

Key Innovations

1. ETERNUS Storage Cluster

2. ETERNUS Fast Recovery

3. ETERNUS Automated Quality of Service

management

Key Business Values

1. Increase business continuity in case of

system failures

2. Reduce risks of data loss when using high

capacity disks

3. Automatic performance management by

business priority of data


3

Challenge: bigger systems, bigger disks, bigger risks

Hard disks with up to 6 TB

Several days rebuild time of a failed disk

within in a RAID of a productive system

The probability of critical RAID situations

and finally data loss is constantly growing

Petabyte-scale storage systems

Planned or unplanned downtime has large

scale negative impact on business


4

How ETERNUS innovations solve these challenges

ETERNUS Fast Recovery for failed disks

Rebuild write operations are parallelized

between several disks

Rebuild time is reduced from days to hours

Fast Rebuild Pool

ETERNUS Storage Cluster

A standby storage takes over the identity of a

failed system transparently

Enables business continuity without

introducing a storage virtualization layer


5

The Challenge: competition on storage performance

Need for prioritizing storage resources according to business needs

Applications compete on storage resources

Lower priority tasks can impede the data

performance of high priority apps

A manual system tuning to allocate storage

performance by business prios is complex

Need for an easy and automated quality of

service management

Key for storage consolidation without

performance issues for biz critical apps


6

Enhanced Automated Quality of Service Management

The admin

defines priorities or

sets response times in milliseconds

And ETERNUS DX / SF does the rest

Technically the system adjusts internal

bandwidth to achieve the required response

time

New: should this not be sufficient to achieve

the required target response time, priority data

will be moved to faster disks or to SSD using

the automated storage tiering (AST) functions

Auto Quality of Service Management controls

the AST functionality


Unique: storage is controlled by business priorities of data

7

Additional enhancements

Support of remote replication by ETERNUS DX100 S3

6 Gb SAS direct attach for ETERNUS DX100 / DX200

Cold data handling – Enhancement of eco mode:

complete shut down of unused disks (disk spin AND disk controller)

Enhanced unified functionalities

Quota management of NAS capacity for users

Users can recover previous versions of files

Multiple file systems

Field upgrade of ETERNUS DX system to bigger models without data migration

DX100 S3 DX200 S3

DX500 S3 DX600 S3

Thin provisioning pool capacity doubled to 256 TB for Flexible Tier pools (DX100/ DX200)

Technical details about the 3 top innovations


9

Business Continuity with Storage Cluster

Synchronous mirroring between active and standby system

Covers all kinds of array outages (failure, maintenance, disaster)

Transparent to servers and applications

Triggered automatically and/ or manually

Non-stop operation


10

Storage Cluster functions - Auto Failover

Auto failover in case of array failure or RAID failure

Failover when the path between the Storage Cluster Controller and the primary array and array-array path between both

storages fail at the same time.

Failover when a RAID failure occurs on the primary array (RAID blocked by a disk failure).

Auto failover to address split-brain situation involving the Storage Cluster contr. & ETERNUS DX S3 storage.

In case of failover the status of the CA port on the

primary system changes to Link Down, the CA port

on the secondary array changes to status Link Up

taking over volume information and WWN.

13

Storage Cluster Functions – Manual Failover

Manual Failover helps in case of

Planned power shutdowns

Disruptive upgrades (Firmware, array, etc)


14

Fast Recovery speeds up rebuild processes

High reliability feature

Rebuild takes place in reserved areas

of the RAID group disks

Simultaneous writes on many targets

Extremely shortens rebuild times in

exposed RAID groups


15

Easy Auto QoS

Further minimizes administrative efforts

Easy settings per volume

Three priority levels: High – Middle – Low


16

Auto QoS and AST Integration

Combination of QoS and

automated tiering

Automated relocation to faster

media

Efficient and automated to get best

performance


17

Auto QoS – the complete picture


New and Unique!!!

18

New: Remote replication available for DX100 S3

Remote Equivalent Copy now available for

ETERNUS DX100 S3

Data on a DX100 S3 system can be replicated to any

ETERNUS DX systems with REC

(DX90/ DX90 S2/DX400 series/DX400 S2 series/DX8700/DX8700

S2/DX8000/DX4000/DX6000)

Business benefits

Affordable DR concepts for SMB customers

Midsize and large enterprises can replicate data from small

ETERNUS DX100 systems in branch offices / subsidiary to

larger DX systems the central data center identical or new

systems. No need to invest in identical HW on all locations


19

Unified Storage – end user related features

Quota management

Limits single user or user group based NAS capacity per file system

Event logging for exceeding warning threshold and capacity limit

Flexible adjustments according to business needs at any time


20

Unified Storage – end user related features
