Webinar: The All-Flash Data Center, Myth or Reality?
Download as PPTX, PDF1 like729 views
In this webinar join experts from Storage Switzerland and Tegile to discover if the All-Flash Data Center can become reality. We will explore the return on investment that All-Flash systems can deliver, like increase user and virtual machine densities, lower drive counts and simpler storage architectures. We will also look at some of the methods that All-Flash systems employ to deliver an acceptable cost per GB like thin provisioning, clones, deduplication and compression. Finally we will take one last look at disk, does it have a role in the All-Flash Data Center and if it does what should that role be?

- 5. Polling Question Where are you on your Flash journey? A) No Flash deployed yet B) Installed Flash in Server C) Installed a flash based server network (VSAN) D) Installed a Hybrid Array (HDD and Flash) E) Installed an All-Flash Array
- 6. Polling Question Where are you on your Flash journey?
- 7. Polling Question What is your top concern about deploying All- Flash? A) Price B) Reliability C) Network Problems D) Integrating with Legacy Storage E) Security
- 8. Polling Question What is your top concern about deploying All- Flash?
- 9. State of Solid State
- 10. Initial Wave • Point based - solve a specific problem • HDD Assistance - a.k.a. Hybrid
- 11. Next Wave… All-Flash • Shared, Strategic Purchase • Removes predictability problem • Focus is on driving down cost while maintaining performance
- 12. The ROI of All-Flash
- 13. The Hard Disk Performance Problem • Stuck at 15k RPM for over a decade • Performance improvement achieved by: ● Using lots of HDDs ● Short stroking those drives ● Performance was improved by adding drives - wasted capacity ● Controllers judged by how many drives could it sustain ● Lead to scale out architectures ● Increased Complexity
- 14. The Flash Advantage • Capacity and performance are addressed separately • Reduction or elimination in HDDs can sometimes pay for All-Flash • Cost and Storage System design becomes key issue
- 15. The Flash Advantage • Features like deduplication and compression reduce cost per GB • All-Flash enables data efficiency with minimal, if any, performance impact • Rebuilds from drive failure much faster • Performance is predictable, no cache misses
- 16. Net Results: Increases Density of Everything • Databases • VDI • Virtual Servers • More users per application or environment
- 17. Driving Down Flash Cost
- 18. Hybrid - The Flash Gateway • Combine small flash area with high capacity HDDs • Delivered an effective cost per GB • But causes some performance predictability concerns • Flash area should be super-sized
- 19. Data Efficiency • Compression and Deduplication are assisted by flash • Compression and Deduplication complement each other • Should be done “in-line” - saves flash life • Thin Provisioning, clones also perform well with flash • Also could work in a hybrid environment
- 20. All-Flash Arrays Are Cheaper Than Performance Storage • Less drive sprawl - performance is not tied to capacity • Less storage system sprawl - single array can handle more workloads with greater variety • Data efficiency should work better
- 21. All-Flash Arrays Are Cheaper Than Performance Storage • Less drive sprawl - performance is not tied to capacity • Less storage system sprawl - single array can handle more workloads with greater variety • Data efficiency should work better • But, All-Flash Arrays are NOT cheaper than capacity storage Performance Data Copy Data, Archives
- 22. Not All Data is Created Equally • The All-Flash Data Center will be All-Flash for active data only • In most data centers this is less than 15% of the total data set • Copy data can be as much as 50% of the total data set
- 23. Disk Has A Role To Play in the All- Flash Data Center • Inexpensive tier for inactive data and copy data • Decision to be made: do you want to manually move that data or do you want it automated
- 24. All-Flash: Myth or Reality? • Reality: Data Center will be All- Flash for production data, HDD for inactive and secondary data • Reality: Data Efficiency has a role to play for both Flash and HDD • Reality: Many data centers will find it attractive to start out all-flash and then add disk later (if the system supports)
