29 Dynamic Pools - Architecture In a Dynamic Pool, drives are partitioned into drive extents which are grouped into RAID extents across multiple drives Ensures redundancy by making sure a RAID extent does not contain two drive extents from a particular drive Spare space automatically configured to meet sparing requirements No need for hot spares of unused drives RAID groups within Dynamic Pools are collections of RAID extents and are partitioned up to create the private LUNS of slices for pool allocations Drive 1 Drive 2 Drive 3 Drive 4 Drive 5 Drive 6 D1 DE 1 D1 DE 2 D1 DE 3 D1 DE 4 D1 DE 5 D1 DE 6 Spare D2 DE 1 D2 DE 2 D2 DE 3 D2 DE 4 D2 DE 5 D2 DE 6 Spare D3 DE 1 D3 DE 2 D3 DE 3 D3 DE 4 D3 DE 5 D3 DE 6 Spare D4 DE 1 D4 DE 2 D4 DE 3 D4 DE 4 D4 DE 5 D4 DE 6 Spare D5 DE 1 D5 DE 2 D5 DE 3 D5 DE 4 D5 DE 5 D5 DE 6 Spare D6 DE 1 D6 DE 2 D6 DE 3 D6 DE 4 D6 DE 5 D6 DE 6 Spare 29

30 Dynamic Pools - Architecture Supported RAID Levels and Minimum Drive Count Dynamic Pools support the following RAID levels RAID 5 RAID 6 RAID 1/0 Different size drives can be mixed in a Dynamic Pool Minimum number of drives when creating a Pool: For more information: Dell EMC Unity All Flash: Flash Technology Deep Dive 1:00PM RAID Level RAID Width Minimum Number of Drives How it is Calculated RAID (4+1)+ 1 Extra Drive RAID (4+2)+ 1 Extra Drive RAID 1/ (1+1)+ 1 Extra Drive 30

31 Dell EMC Unity Thin Clones A Thin Clone is a read-write copy of a Thin Block resource which shares blocks with the parent object Includes LUNs, LUNs within Consistency Groups, and VMFS Datastores Supported on all Dell EMC Unity models and Dell EMC UnityVSA (Professional and Community version) All data services remain available on the parent objects on creation of the Thin Clone Create Thin Clone from Attached Read-Only or Unattached Snapshots User is be able to: Create, refresh, view, modify and delete a Thin Clone 31

32 Dell EMC Unity Thin Clones Benefits Space savings Space consumed by Thin Clone is only changed data Reduce the cost for application test and development environments Can apply data services to Thin Clones: Host Access Host I/O Limits (QoS) Manual/Scheduled Snapshots Replication Creates a full LUN copy on the target side For more information: Dell EMC Unity Data Protection & Copy Management Options 12:00PM 32

33 Snapshot Shipping Extends Asynchronous Replication to support shipping of snapshots along with the primary storage resource Both user-created and scheduled snapshots can be replicated Supported for all primary resources that support Asynchronous Replication: LUNs Consistency Groups File Systems VMware VMFS and NFS Datastores 33

34 Snapshot Shipping Benefits Destination can have a different retention policy Extended retention periods for compliance (i.e. IRS, HIPAA, etc.) Cost Efficient Replicated snapshots can be deleted from the source system Resiliency Provides the user the ability to store the snapshots in a different fault domain For more information: Dell EMC Unity Data Protection & Copy Management Options 12:00PM 34

35 Dell EMC Unity Compression for File Dell EMC Unity Compression Dell EMC UnityOE 4.2 adds support for compression on the following storage resources: Thin File Systems Thin VMware NFS Datastores Compression enabled on Thin File Systems and Thin VMware NFS Datastores created while running the Dell EMC UnityOE 4.2 Inline Space Savings No Additional License Required Lower TCO of Your Storage Solution Improve Utilization of Flash Capacity Writes Logged and Held in Cache Data Written to Flash Only Once Compression is Included with Base System License for Dell EMC Unity OE 4.1 and up 35
