• The 256MB slices are relocated according to
both the rank order and the tiering policy
• Policy Engine triggers an automatic
relocation
– Moves hot data to higher tiers, cold data
to lower tiers, or follow the corresponding
tiering policy
• Ensures that the higher performing drives
are used first
– Keeps 10% of the space in all tiers free
• Relocation Schedule:
– User defined relocation window
– Defines how long the window will be open
for the array to start data relocation on
the participating storage pools
– User defines relocation rate
– Controls performance impact
– Can be arranged to take place during off-
hours to minimize any adverse
performance impact
– Start Time (Increments of 15 minutes)
– End Time (Increments of 15 minutes)

• Large-capacity, array-wide secondary cache
– Benefits the entire system
– Continuously ensures that the hottest data is served
from Flash drives
– Enabled at the Storage Pool level
– Caches data at 64KB page granularity
• Positioned between:
– Storage Processor’s DRAM-based primary cache
– Hard-Disk Drives (HDD)
• Increased storage capacity compared to DRAM
• Less latency compared to HDD
• Multicore FAST Cache tasks can scale to multiple
CPU cores

– Sequential I/O
– High-frequency access

– Zero fill requests
– I/O larger than 64KB
 Multicore FAST Cache
– Random I/O
– I/O smaller than 64KB

• Permanent Sparing
– Any unused drive is a possible spare
• No Hot Spare creation is necessary or possible
– Spares become a permanent part of the RAID Group
• Equalize operations no longer occur
– Recommended Hot Sparing policy
• 1 spare per 30 (enforced by system)
– Exception: A single 12 drive DPE configuration
• Portable Drives
– Drives can be relocated between buses, enclosures, etc.
• Each physical drive is identified as a Physical Virtual Drive (PVD)
• VNXe3200 keeps track of PVDs by their serial numbers
– 5 minute timeout before spare invoked
– Used for bus balancing
– Remove whole RAID groups for longer periods (as long as Drives are returned to array)

• Spare rebuild starts
• Second drive fails

• Tiered storage
– Choose storage tiers
• Extreme Performance (Flash),
Performance (SAS), Capacity (NL-SAS)
– Choose protection per tier (RAID 1/0,

Advanced pool optimization functionality
Automatic Data Relocation 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

FAST Cache Process
 Page requests satisfied from DRAM if
available
 If not, FAST Cache driver checks map
to determine where page is located
 Page request satisfied from disk drive
if not in FAST Cache
 Policy Engine copies the page to FAST
Cache if it is being used frequently
 Subsequent requests for this page
satisfied from FAST Cache
 Dirty pages are copied back to disk
drives as background activity

File Deduplication and Compression
• Intelligent data selection
– Typically avoids active data
 Option to target active files
 Compression support for VMs through the VNX Plug-in for
VMware (VSI)
 End-user file-level activation
– Tunable options by file system
 Size of files
 Age of files
 File extension
 Directory filtering
 Internal policy engine
– Runs in the background
– Throttles to avoid negative impact on client

Average Cost of Downtime
Downtime is Costly
• Lost revenue
• Business disruption
• Dissatisfied users
• Troubleshooting time
• Deferred IT activities
* Enterprise Management Associates - 2012
Average cost of application downtime is
$45K/hour*

What Drives Investment in Protection?
More information to
protect, harder to restore
quickly
Protection is not a
revenue-generating
investment
More of the
organization is reliant
on IT
Leverage secondary
site infrastructure

How RecoverPoint Works
1. Production data
written to storage
3. Writes are acknowledged back to the application from
RecoverPoint, which are responsible for:
• De-duplication and compression
• Monitoring and management
4. Data is sequenced, check-
summed, de-duplicated,
compressed, and replicated to the
remote RecoverPoint over IP or Fibre
Channel
5. Data is received, uncompressed, inflated,
sequenced, and check-summed

6. Data written

2. VNX splitter
