Let’s now see what happens when we Combine VPLEX w/ other technologies like Symmetrix VMAX and FAST By doing so, we can Move data faster Run apps in a new location quicker And improve the response time by 50% * Thank you.

Click An I/O request can come from anywhere and will be serviced by any available engine in the VPLEX cluster. VPLEX abstracts the ownership model into a high level directory thats updated for every I/O, and shared across all engines. The directory uses a small amount of metadata, and tells all other engines in the cluster, in 4k blocks, which block of data is owned by which engine and at what time. The communication that actually occurs is much less than the 4k blocks that are actually being updated. Click If a read request comes in, VPLEX automatically checks the directory for an owner. Once the owner is located, Click the read request goes directly to that engine. Once a write is done and the table is modified, if another read request comes in from another engine, it checks the table and can then pull the read directly from that engines cache. If its still in cache, there is no need to go to the disk to satisfy the read. This model also enables VPLEX to stretch the cluster, as we can distribute this directory between clusters and therefore, between sites. The design has minimal overhead, is very efficient, and enables effective communication over distance. VPLEX Architecture and Design Copyright ? 2010 EMC Corporation.
