1 SSDs in the Cloud Dave Wright, CEO SolidFire, Inc.

2 Storage in the Cloud Local Storage Swap Temp Files Data Processing WD Seagate FusionIO Bulk Object Storage Media Files Content Distribution Backup Archival S3 Atmos Nirvanix Block Storage VM Images Application Files Databases EMC Netapp 3par SolidFire 2

3 Block Storage Challenges Performance IOPS/GB balance Multi-tenant isolation (seek latency) Efficiency Utilization Power/cooling Management Automation Reliability IO Server IO Storage IO time Purchased Usable Storage Capacity Usable Administration Interface 3

4 Flash Benefits for Block Storage Performance Restore balance between IOPS and Capacity Better performance with varied workloads Efficiency Remove performance as a limiter on utilization Reduce storage space, power, and cooling Management Better reliability? 4

5 What s the downside? Cost Partially a perception issue Can t be ignored cloud all about value prop Storage Architectures Ability to get full performance from flash Write amplification & endurance issues 5

6 How to use Flash today Direct-attached Host based caching Array based caching Array based tiering All-solid-state arrays 6

7 Direct Attached Examples: FusionIO, Virident, 2.5 SSD Pros: Best performance Cons: Limited capacity / flexibility No sharing Limited availability / redundancy 7

8 Host based caching Examples: FB FlashCache, IO Turbine, Adaptec, Marvell Pros: Larger flash footprint Lower latency than array based caching Cons: Read-only, or affects data integrity / availability Huge delta in performance between cached/uncached reads 8

9 Array based caching Examples: Netapp FlashCache, EMC FAST Cache Pros: Invisible / seamless improvement Provides good boost for hottest data Cons: Requires expensive SLC flash due to churn Can cause irregular performance in multi-tenant environment 9

10 Array based tiering Examples: EMC FAST, 3par, Compellent Pros: Potentially large capacity available Ability to automate or manually place data in tiers Cons: Requires expensive SLC flash due to churn Controller overhead moving data back and forth Irregular performance when automated 10

11 All-Solid-State arrays Examples: SolidFire, Nimbus, Violin, TMS, Pure Pros: High performance for all data Best $/IOP Potential for less power/cooling expense Cons: Cost/GB? Designed for cloud scale? 11

12 SolidFire Solution Architecture Clustered Scale-Out Storage Solution Leverages Industry-Standard Hardware Native 10 GigE iscsi All Solid State (SSD) Usable $/GB similar to traditional SANs Combine 100 nodes Over 5M IOPS

13 Bridging the Performance Gap IO time Server IO Storage IO Increasing gap between Server and Storage IO Increasing latency, unhappy customers Unable to guarantee performance Performance degrades with disk / device failure SolidFire Guarantee Storage Performance 50,000 IOPS/node. 5,000,000 IOPS/cluster. System-wide Performance Virtualization Guarantees sustained performance (QoS) to every volume Enables volume-level performance throttling Create and bill against performance tiers Real-time performance adjustments via API SolidFire Helix Data Protection manages device failures without performance impact

14 New Level of Storage Efficiency Usable Purchased Inefficient use of purchased capacity Deduplication and Compression unavailable or turned off to maintain performance Capacity Sprawl = large power and cooling cost Storage Capacity SolidFire Operational Savings High capacity utilization - 85% Proactive inline Deduplication, Compression and Thin Provisioning Executed across the entire data store, w/o performance impact Deduplication gains (30% - 70%) Compression gains (30% - 70%) Drastic reduction in power, cooling, and floor space

15 Cloud Specific Management Usable Proprietary Management Complex, Individual GUI interface Manual deployment and provisioning Lack of cloud specific API capability Administration Interface SolidFire Advantage REST-based API (management and automation) Designed around the cloud service providers needs to automate storage management and provisioning Extremely simple to build user-facing storage controls with your own business rules Enables multi-tenant provisioning, reporting, and performance isolation Any SolidFire function can be automated via API

16 SolidFire Architecture SAN 1.0 Completely separate data storage from higher level representations LUN 1 every LUN 1 volume LUN Enables: 2 LUN 3 Volumes Allocate LUN 2 physical space in LUN byte- 2 size chunks LUN 3 Disk Pool LUN 1 LUN 2 SAN 2.0 LUN 1 LUN 3 Optimize storage of small blocks Utilize entire drive pool for Performance virtualization LUN 3 LUN 1 De-dupe and compression without LUN 3 tradeoffs HA without performance impact LUN 2 Volumes Disk Pool SSD Pool SolidFire LUN 1 LUN 2 LUN 3 Volumes Volume Metadata Block Data 16

17 Summary Flash can help overcome key primary storage issues in the cloud Many possible approaches to using it If the right techniques are used to reduce $/GB, allsolid-state solutions are viable Future direction of cloud storage is clear: Disk for capacity oriented, secondary storage Flash / SSD for all primary storage 17
