What Customers Are Telling Me

Starting to think all in with fully virtualized strategies how do I design if everything is a VM? Starting to think in terms of purpose-built rather than adapt-forpurpose what are the characteristics of infrastructure built for VMware? At enterprise/service provider scale, need a scaling model that is linear and available in chunks At mid-market scale simplicity, ease of, and VMware integration are most important. Want to leverage all the latest technologies to be the most efficient they can possibly be in all dimensions Want information to dynamically flow from place to place, including long distances Starting to see that the main areas of focus needs to be management - starting to talk about security

Strategic Goals: Storage supporting Private Cloud

Storage should ultimately be invisible

Today = Transparency through integration Tomorrow = Offload

Delivered via first wave of vStorage API for Array Integration (VAAI) Order of magnitude speed improvements for common tasks

Day After Tomorrow = Invisibility

Delivered via deep vStorage API for Array Integration (VAAI) projects Long term - deliverables in the vSphere generation of releases
2009 VMware | Cisco | EMC. All rights reserved. 29

Tomorrow: Offload

2009 VMware | Cisco | EMC. All rights reserved.

30

Mid-Term vStorage APIs for Array Integration

Write Same/Zero
What: 10x less IO for common tasks How: Eliminating redundant and repetitive write commands just tell the array to repeat via SCSI commands

Fast/Full Copy
What: 10x faster VM deployment, clone, snapshot, and Storage VMotion How: leveraging array ability to mass copy, snapshot, and move blocks via SCSI commands

Hardware Offloaded Locking

What: 10x more VMs per datastore How: stop locking LUNs and start only locking blocks.

Thin Provisioning Stun

What: Never have an out-of-space disaster How: reporting array TP state to ESX

31

Early VAAI Findings

Q: What if you do something REALLY out there like using a single VMFS datastore backed by only 5 spindles..
and simultaneously booting 300 VMs on it?

Effect of VAAI Hardware Locking Offload

Time to boot 300 VMs on a single 5 disk datastore
VAAI = 4x faster

60 And 50 50% less 58 mins 40 queuing 30 20 17 mins 10 0 EMC And... Hardware Offloaded by No Hardware PLATFORMS = Offload 25% more EMC VAAI-Ready Guest IO

4 Areas of Key Long Term Collaboration

vStorage + FAST v2 integration
What: DRS and DPM for Storage How: FAST on its own will auto-tier day 1, working on VM-level policy integrated with vApp policy dynamically moving VMs between tiers to optimize performance, cost, and power. What: Virtual Storage Appliances many functions, and large scale

Core Storage Stack changes for Storage Virtual Appliances

How: pNFS, VMDirectPath IO, changes in the paravirtualized SCSI and vmkernel storage stack

Long-Distance & Cloud VMotion

What: VMotion, between remote datacenters, at the VM-level, and into and out of external clouds How: Active/active storage virtualization techniques coupled with the ability to access storage as if it were local, whether its not or its in transit

vDisk & VM Array Awareness

What: VM-object (and virtual disk) level awareness for block, file, and add objectstorage models to vSphere-generation How: block-list, file-API, and object-storage interfaces in vmkernel, changes in platforms gearing to VM-level function
