2 Why HP will WIN with Converged Storage Industry Standard x86-based platforms Increase storage performance and density Scale-out and federated software Non-disruptive data growth and mobility Converged management orchestration Choreograph across servers, networks, and storage Modern storage architecture designed for the cloud, optimized for big data and built on converged infrastructure. 2

3 Federation Enables the Aggregation of Individual Virtualized Array Functionality Why Federated Storage is a key requirement in cloud datacenters Manage resources at the data center or metro level, versus device by device Experience secure, non-disruptive data mobility at the array level (versus host) Storage Federation Distributed volume management across self-governing, homogeneous peer systems using native communication between peers. Like Compute Federation, Storage Federation is Peer-to-Peer versus Hierarchical 3

4 Eliminating distinctions between midrange and Tier 1 Polymorphic simplicity: cloud storage without boundaries New 3PAR StoreServ 7000 Storage One Architecture Federated Efficient Multi-Tenant Only HP HP 3PAR StoreServ 7400 HP 3PAR StoreServ HP 3PAR StoreServ HP 3PAR StoreServ 7200 NEW Tier 1 storage at less than $40K USD! NEW Redefining the Midrange from $25K USD! 4

5 3PAR StoreServ Web Services API Provides a well-defined application programming interface for performing storage management tasks Tasks Supported Creation and removal of Virtual Volumes Virtual Copies Common Provisioning Groups (CPG) VLUN Query all Volumes and their properties CPGs and their properties VLUNs and their properties Developers Guide and Sample Client can be downloaded from HP Software depot 5

6 HP Converged Storage is transforming the industry Primary Storage Information Retention / Analytics Information Protection HP 3PAR StoreServ HP StoreAll HP StoreOnce The new style of IT Tier 1 storage for virtualization and ITaaS for block, object and file Hyperscale storage to tame and mine your content explosion Federated Deduplication from small sites to service providers HP StoreVirtual Software Defined Storage Server/Storage Agnostic Scale-Out Hypervisor Independent 6

7 Access simplicity, scalability, latency Block, file, and object compared Applications Object IDs & metadata Internet proximity REST API File Shares & pathnames Local and wide area proximity SMB (CIFS), NFS, HTTP, FTP Clients Block RAID & LUNs Data center proximity Fibre Channel, SAS, iscsi Hosts 7

8 Cloud Storage 101 Block Storage Generally SCSI protocol based, organized by LUNs Not directly consumed by applications, usually used to hold a filesystem Low level storage abstraction upon which file and object storage is built File Storage Files organized in directory hierarchy and accessed by pathname File-based NAS protocols like NFS and CIFS Rich and complex application support: random access, inplace file updates, locking, etc. Object Storage Efficient flat namespace: objects organized by accounts, containers, object keys, and metadata HTTP / REST / URL based easily scriptable, many language choices Relatively simple interface compared to file storage Scalable to very high object counts More easily scaled across multiple geographies Ideal for relatively static data 8

9 HP StoreVirtual: software defined storage New: HP StoreVirtual 4530 & 4730 Storage Simple: Simple management for virtualized environments Scalable: Non-disruptively scale performance and capacity Highly-Available: Cost-effective multi-site disaster recovery New: StoreVirtual 4530/4730 Virtual appliance or ProLiant Gen8 appliance 9

10 StoreAll architecture Centralized Management File NFS, SMB, HTTP and HTTPS, WebDAV, FTP and FTPS Object REST API Data Protection e.g. Constant Validation and Snapshots Data Retention e.g. Retention Policies and WORM Data Mobility e.g. Tiering and Replication Data Management e.g. Express Query and Quotas Distributed File Engine Node Node Node Node Allocated segments Allocated segments Storage segments Allocated segments Allocated segments Not all Data Services are available for object storage 10

11 Leveraging HP storage in the OpenStack Environment What is HPSD doing to make customers deploying OpenStack clouds with HP storage successful? Block Storage Cinder drivers integrating HP storage devices StoreVirtual 3Par Extending OpenStack to support additional storage capabilities Fiber Channel Volume Types 11

12 Cinder Overview OpenStack VMs use block storage for Boot volumes Additional storage volumes Cinder Originally Nova had a block storage component Nova Volume Beginning with Folsom, a separate block storage service (Cinder) has been available Cinder is a pluggable interface for managing OpenStack block storage volumes Status In Folsom, Cinder mirrored the Nova volume functionality In Grizzly and beyond, support for additional storage devices and features are being added E.g., Snapshotting, Backup to Swift, Fiber Channel, etc. 12

13 Leveraging HP storage in the OpenStack Environment Block Storage StoreVirtual iscsi Cinder driver Created/contributed by Rackspace Distributed as part of OpenStack Folsom release available to anyone Implements all Folsom Cinder functions Volume: Create, Delete, Attach, Detach, Snapshot Utilizes SAN/iQ cli interface HP teams have fixed some bugs Part of OpenStack Folsom release NOW In production use by Rackspace OpenStack / Cinder StoreVirtual iscsi Driver 13

14 Leveraging HP storage in the OpenStack Environment Block Storage 3Par iscsi Cinder driver Created by HP Submitted/Reviewed/Accepted by the Cinder project for distribution in OpenStack Grizzly release Implements all of the Cinder API functions Create Volume, Delete Volume, Create Snapshot, Delete Snapshot, Attach Volume, Detach Volume, Create Volume from Snapshot Driver performs provisioning using a single virtual domain / CPG Part of OpenStack Grizzly release in April 13 OpenStack / Cinder 3Par iscsi Driver 3Par Web Client Library 14

15 Leveraging HP storage in the OpenStack Environment Block Storage Fibre Channel HP has formed a cross-industry group to add Fibre Channel support to OpenStack HP, Brocade, EMC, IBM, Hitachi participants Blueprints submitted to Cinder & Nova projects to add Fibre Channel SAN support Phase 1 supports open & pre-zoned SAN s only (i.e. no active zoning) Implementation by HP done, code accepted to Cinder and Nova Part of OpenStack Grizzly in April 13 3Par FC Cinder driver Implementation complete, being accepted to Cinder project Similar functionality as 3Par iscsi driver Part of OpenStack Grizzly in April OpenStack / Cinder iscsi 3Par iscsi Driver FC 3Par FC Driver

16 Leveraging HP storage in the OpenStack Environment Block Storage Beyond Grizzly FC active Zoning Why? To enable private SAN deployments leveraging DC infrastructure New driver interface being created to allow SAN switch vendors to add their own drivers to zone their SAN switches Working with Brocade to define active zoning blueprints & implementation SAN Brocade SAN Driver OpenStack / Cinder iscsi 3Par iscsi Driver FC 3Par FC Driver Supporting Multiple SAN configurations: Single SAN Redundant SANs Partitioned SANs Host Connect SAN Direct connect SANs (Flat SANs) Targeted for inclusion in OpenStack Havana release in Oct 13 16

17 Leveraging HP storage in the OpenStack Environment Block Storage Beyond Grizzly Cinder Volume Types support in 3Par drivers Enables storage admin to define volume types that invoke different device capabilities Service catalog of software defined storage types 3Par capabilities exposed so they are accessible to Cinder Volume Type mechanism Target release in OpenStack Havana release in Oct 13 Cloud Users Volume Types Device Capabilities Gold Storage Silver Storage 3Par Capabilities: VD/CPG selection Thin provisioning Hostmode selection iscsi/fc SAN selection QoS specification 17
