7 What is IBM Virtual Storage Center (VSC)? A single Product ID (PID) that provides all of the advanced functionality of IBM s market leading storage virtualization and management solutions: - IBM Spectrum Virtualize software for SVC - SVC FlashCopy for volume snapshots - SVC Metro/Global Mirror for remote mirroring - IBM Spectrum Control Advanced Edition with the Storage Analytics Engine - IBM Spectrum Protect Snapshot (formerly IBM FlashCopy Manager) - IBM Copy Services Manager (formerly TPC for Replication) Licencing Options: VSC Entry: for SVC up to 4 I/O groups and up to 500TiB managed storage capacity per enterprise VSC: for SVC environments licensed by TiB tiers of managed storage capacity VSC for Storwize Family: licenced by enclosures of Storwize family including XIV NOTE: Real-Time Compression is offered as a separate chargeable component and is not included with this solution 7

8 Introducing IBM Virtual Storage Center Built on IBM s Virtualized Storage foundation Pooled physical resources from multiple arrays, vendors, and datacenters pooled together and accessed anywhere IT Staff Storage Admins Mobile Users Users Common capabilities regardless of storage class or vendor Mobility of storage volumes on-the-fly based on workload balancing policies without disruption of service Storage Area Network Centralized management to optimize your people for the challenges of day-to-day operations Pay-per-use storage resources end users are aware of the impact of their consumption, service level choices 8

9 Foundation functions Advanced Event Processing or Correlation Failure detection / avoidance of issues related to Spectrum Scale file systems Correlation to service level objectives to ensure compliance Detect looming problems before they cause outages Capacity Management Current and historic use Predict when you will run out of capacity Shortfall analysis Real-Time Data Sampling Error and performance statistics collection for block, file and fibre channel switch components At 1 minute intervals for supported devices Performance monitoring and threshold management for Spectrum Scale clusters

10 Centralized Management with Spectrum Control End to End views Pinpoint trouble spots in any area Correlation to impacted workloads Diagnosis can be accomplished quickly Orchestrate workflows for recurring activities Prescriptive Guidance Visual task flow guidance Actions to manage violations on user defined thresholds and alerts 10

11 Failure Detection and Avoidance Real-Time Data Sampling Sampling at 1 minute intervals for all supported devices Real time performance sampling on storage virtualization layer (SVC) Performance monitoring and threshold management for Spectrum Scale clusters Advanced Event Processing or Correlation Failure detection / avoidance of issues related to Spectrum Scale file systems Correlation to service level objectives to ensure compliance Analytics to detect looming problems before they cause outages Greater control over how events in the environment are reported and how and when actions are taken Performance Management Enhancements Enhanced visualization of performance related scenarios Correlation of performance data with copy services

12 Application-Oriented Management Modelling storage consumed by line of business and applications Application-based performance troubleshooting Capacity management for applications that span multiple volumes Application-centric dashboards for quick status Provisioning for applications tied to service classes and service level requirements Quota management De-commissioning storage for retired applications / servers

13 Support for IBM Spectrum Scale Resource monitoring, including free space, inodes Alerting in near real time Performance monitoring of file storage Correlation between servers (NSD) and external storage Correlation to fabrics, switches and ports, remote cluster-mounts Monitoring of object storage (OpenStack Swift)

14 Define Service Classes for storage Applications are not created equal 20TB of storage for a database has far different requirements than 20 TB for a file share An objective assessment of existing workload demands is extremely difficult to undertake Proactively assign storage to pools based on Quality of Service criteria Define additional characteristics, such as performance and availability Assign meaningful names for admins and end users Reduce options for users to improve agility and efficiency of provisioning process 14

15 Enable Self-Service Provisioning Web-based on demand self-service provisioning of storage capacity Improves user productivity and increases operational efficiency User assumes accountability for the storage service level / cost that is requested Deliver an efficient cloud-like storage service that helps maintain accountability for storage use 15

16 Keep Data in the Right Place Tiered Storage Optimizer provides full Volume Tiering Analyze Tiering Take the guess-work out of managing workloads across multiple tiers of storage Balance Pools Tier 1 Policy-based data placement provides objective analysis of workload placement Tier 2 Intelligent analytics make recommendations based on historical performance with automated, transparent migration to appropriate storage tier 16

17 Storage Insights Storage Analytics as a Service Discover storage resources and organize assets by Line of Business and Application View drill down information on capacity utilization from total environment to individual volumes Identify capacity reclamation opportunities for volumes, groups, and storage systems with before and after graphs to demonstrate savings Performance-based re-tiering analysis to place data on the right tier at the right time Simple deployment from the cloud with data collection and analysis within the first hour of setup No server agents to deploy, no proxies to configure, no hardware to install on-premise

19 Pool Physical Resources with IBM Spectrum Virtualize (SVC) Traditional SAN Capacity is isolated in SAN islands Multiple management points Potentially poor capacity utilization Capacity is purchased for and owned by individual applications Virtual Storage Environment Combines storage capacity into storage pools Single management point Uses storage assets more efficiently Capacity purchases can be deferred 95% capacity Storage Area Network 50% capacity Storage Area Network 55% capacity 25% capacity 19

20 Data Mobility IBM Spectrum Virtualize Traditional SAN 1. Stop applications 2. Move data 3. Re-establish host connections 4. Restart applications Virtual Storage Environment 1. Move data Host systems and applications are not affected Migration scenarios: Balance workloads Move data between storage tiers Migrate data off old equipment Storage Area Network 20

21 Common Capabilities with IBM Spectrum Virtualize Storage System #1 Thin provisioning Snapshots Mirroring Storage System #2 Thin provisioning Flash Storage Compression Efficiency Features Thin provisioning I/O caching Real Time Compression Flash storage support Easy Tier data migration Protection and DR FlashCopy Active-Active Data Center Synchronous Mirroring Asynchronous Mirroring For all of your disk storage IBM & non-ibm 21

22 IBM Virtual Storage Center Manage Data Growth to Control Costs Traditional ( fully allocated ) virtual disks use physical disk capacity for the entire capacity of a virtual disk even if it is not used Just like traditional disk systems With thin provisioning, physical disk capacity is allocated and used when data is written Can significantly reduce amount of physical disk capacity needed Can significantly improve existing disk systems Works with all virtualized storage assets Real-time compression can help freeze storage growth or delay need for additional purchases Delivers 50% or better compression for data that is not already compressed Compression helps reduce Storage purchase costs Rack space Power and cooling Software costs for additional functions Works with all virtualized storage assets 22
