1 Omneon MediaGrid Technical Overview

2 Introduction To MediaGrid Property Architecture Scalability Networking Client Access High Availability Application Integration Attributes Scale-out; MediaFS clustered file system 12TB to petabytes 375MB/s to tens of GB/s Linear, non-disruptive scaling Ethernet Both 10GBe and 1GbE File System Driver (FSD) NAS protocols (CIFS, FTP, NFS, AFP) No single point of failure Online maintenance Transparent recovery from hardware failures Tested and optimized with dozens of leading media applications

3 MediaGrid Storage System Architecture and Key Components ü Clustered File System ContentDirectors File System Driver Ethernet ContentServers File Slice Storage File Slicing/Assembly File System Metadata

4 File System Driver Parallelizing Client Access FSD: a key enabler of the MediaGrid performance advantage Slicing/ Assembly File FSD For: Parallel access to slices Slices

5 File System Driver Maximizing Performance Variable slice size File Type.ts.mov.aiff.xyz Slice Size 8MB 2MB 512K 256K ü Can be configured based on file type and folder Intelligent Caching FSD Requested data (slice N) Slice N+1 Slice N+2 Slice N+3 Slice N+4 Slice N+5 Slice N+6 ü Use client memory as a cache ü Great for sequential access Optimizes performance for both small and large files! Often enables performance levels of local storage!

6 MediaGrid I/O Flow File System Directory ContentDirectors File Slicing/Assembly Slice Server Data Read/Write FSD File create/open/close Server IP map File slice read/write Ethernet ContentServers RAID Groups

7 Other Clustered NAS Bottleneck prone and High Latency File System Meta Data Slice Storage File Slicing/Assembly Ethernet Storage Nodes Client NFS/CIFS NAS protocols don t leverage distributed file systems

8 File System Driver Superior Single Client Performance ContentDirectors File System Driver Ethernet ContentServers High bandwidth for a single client (>1GBs)) Consolidate to fewer and powerful servers (lower operational cost) Speed up workflows (ingest more streams, more transcode jobs, use uncompressed ) File Slice Storage File System Metadata File Slicing/Assembly

9 File System Driver Add Clients Without Impacting Performance File System Driver ContentDirectors File System Driver Ethernet ContentServers File System Driver File Slice Storage File System Metadata File Slicing/Assembly Great aggregate bandwidth for multiple clients Add servers without worrying about performance impact Consistent latency with increasing client count

10 File System Driver No Fragmentation Issues as system fills up ContentDirectors File System Driver Ethernet ContentServers File Slice Storage File System Metadata File Slicing/Assembly Consistent performance at 10% full or 90% full No periodic defragmentation needed Improves operational efficiency

11 MediaGrid: Simple Ethernet Infrastructure Clients ü One network LAN ü Simple, standard Ethernet ü Integrated MediaFS file system MediaGrid Storage ü Single vendor solution

12 FC SANs: Complex And Expensive StorNext LAN Clients StorNext Clustered LAN Gateway StorNext Metadata controller ü Two networks $$ ü FC SAN HBAs $$ LAN SAN ü HBA compatibility headaches ü Need gateway if you cannot use HBA ü Different vendors for file system and storage StorNext SAN Clients SAN Storage

13 System Components ContentDirectors ü Deployed in failover pair ü 1U each ContentServers ü Dual controllers ü 1GbE or 10GbE ü 16 x 1, 2, or 3TB SATA ü Hot-swappable, 3U ContentStores (Cost-effective Scaling!) ü JBODs ü 0-5 per ContentServer ü 16 x 1, 2, or 3TB SATA ü Hot-swappable, 3U

14 Protection Against Drive Failures Advanced software RAID Proven in 10 years of use with nonstop video servers Two RAID options RAID 4 (2+1) for maximum performance RAID 6 (6+2) for balanced capacity and performance Hot-swap failed drives Spare drive available for RAID 4 Application I/O prioritized over rebuild I/O Minimize performance impact during rebuilds

15 ContentServer Built in High Availability No single point of failure! ü Dual Hot-pluggable Power Supplies ü Dual active-active controllers ü Transparent failover

16 Campus-Level Disaster Recovery Synchronous Replications Under same file Replicate across two groups of enclosures, physically separated but in a single file system Groups can be up to 500M apart* Active-active configuration Location 1 Location 2 Benefit: Instant, transparent failover upon site failures (fire, flood, power outage)! Automatic failback and replication on recovery Single File System, Replicated data Group A Group B
