Scale-out NAS for Archiving Redefining the Economics of Pay-as-you-Grow Online and Nearline Archives Monolithic scale-up systems Require over-provisioning Force partitioning of data sets RAID, LUNs, volumes Inefficient data protection Lacks reliability at scale Actual used storage—very low Storage complexity Increases management timeand cost Slows responsiveness Archiving Challenges Supply-side economics High initial purchase costs High recurring costs of managing scaling archives Storage inefficiency Files use unnecessary space Low utilization rates High cost of ownership Management complexity Power, cooling, floor space CHALLENGES ARCHITECTURAL ISSUES . . . And File Systems Implications Inability to scale file systems cost-effectively Requires adding large chunks of storage or new storage systems Inability to scale multi-terabyte archives reliably Separation of RAID, volume, file system layers Forces data set partitioning: adding new file systems 10’s to 1000’s of file systems create complexity Increases management cost and slows responsiveness to changes Performance- vs. Capacity-Optimization: Archiving Trends Access Time Storage Growth 80% of GBps / IOPS 80% of the TB Maximum Efficiency Lowest Cost Possible Capacity Scalability Throughput and IO Rapid Concurrent Access Performance Scalability The Right System for the Lifecycle of File-based Data A flexible solution to accelerate high-concurrent and sequential throughput applications Purpose-built for high-transactional IOPS-intensive applications Purpose-built for cost-effective, large capacity storage Redefining the Economics of Capacity-optimized ArchivesMaximize Efficiency and Reduce TCO by 35-percent Precision Right-sizing for Capital Cost Reduction Start small (from a few TBs) Pay-as-you-grow (up to 3.4 PB in a single cluster) Maximize Archive Efficiency Data protection and layout Data reduction partners High-density to minimize power, cooling, floor space Reduce TCO Ease of use and management Mana
