16 EMC VFCache Performance Dramatic Improvements In Latency & Throughput Intelligence Extends EMC FAST Architecture Into The Server Protection Backed By Intelligent, Resilient, Highly Available Storage

17 Protection Write-Through Caching With Acknowledgement Shareable And Scalable, No Stranded Storage

18 100 Percent Transparent Caching VFCache Driver Extends The SAN Application VFCache Software SAN HBA PCIe Flash SAN storage

19 Read Hit Example 1 Application 1. Read request from application to an accelerated array LUN SAN HBA VFCache Software 2 3 PCIe Flash 2. VFCache accesses data from Flash device is forwarded to the application SAN storage

20 Read Miss Example Application 1 1. Read request from application to an accelerated SAN LUN 2. Data is read from the array and returned to the application 2 SAN HBA VFCache Software 4 PCIe Flash 3. Read miss data is written to Flash device 3 SAN storage

21 Write Example 1 Application 1. Write request from application to an accelerated SAN LUN 2 SAN HBA VFCache Software 3 SAN storage 4 PCIe Flash 2. VFCache Driver writes data to Flash device and SAN LUN 3. Application write acknowledged upon array completion 4. Write data is now available on Flash device

22 Baseline Results Iometer Throughput / Response Time ~900 Read IOPs ~300 Write IOPs LUN 29 R5 (3+1) ~60ms Avg Response Time

23 FAST Cache Results Iometer Throughput / Response Time ~2,000 Read IOPs ~600 Write IOPs LUN 29 ~27ms Avg Response Time R5 (3+1)

24 VFcache & FAST Cache Results Iometer Throughput / Response Time ~50,000 Read IOPs ~3,600 Write IOPs LUN 29 ~1.5ms Avg Response Time R5 (3+1)

26 Lightning Supercharged Performance Server-Side Flash Caching For Maximum Performance RELATIVE IMPROVEMENT IN TRANSACTIONS PER MINUTE Baseline VFCache FAST Cache FAST Cache + VFCache APPLICATION LEVEL TRANSACTION LATENCY (ms) Dramatic Improvement In Application Response Time For Read-Heavy Workloads Industry's Highest Throughput And Lowest Latency Transaction Performance Equivalent To 3,000+ Aggregated HDDs Solution architecture consists of an Oracle Database, Cisco UCS C-250 server with 12 cores and an EMC VNX5500. EMC tested the capabilities of VFCache. Testing employed a standard TPC-C like OLTP workload with a 1.2 TB database and a 70-30% read/write mix with 250 GB of hot data. VFCache enabled on all data LUNs, but not on log LUNs; VNX5500 storage system: Read cache: 1000MB, write cache: 4000MB, 8 x 250 GB Data LUNs on 50 x 600 GB 10K RPM 2.5" SAS drives (RAID 5), 4 x 200 GB Log LUNs on 10 x 600 GB 10K RPM 2.5" SAS drives (RAID 5);. No tuning of Oracle database was done. Database buffer cache 4GB, ASM volume management used for the database; Server connected to VNX using 6 x 8Gbps Fibre Channel.
