The Future of Archiving

1 The Future of Archiving

2 Data Management Challenges Exponential grow of the data Cost of the data management operations Refresh of the media to next generation Integrity of the data Compliance requirements of the data Classification of the data throughout its lifecycle Hardware has a short life cycle DATA is forever!

3 Versity Software The only independent pure play Archiving software company

4 What we do? Versity Storage Manager (VSM) High performance archiving Open source SAM-QFS HSM technology on Linux Focused on moving POSIX files to tiers of storage Support tape, disk, and object storage

5 Versity Storage Manager (VSM)

6 VSM Benefits Virtualizes tiers of storage with a POSIX shared file system interface Archives data across those tiers according to policy Keeps all data available, but NOT on high cost media Disk, tape, and cloud agnostic Seamless on demand application retrieval with fast access to the first byte Continuous data protection no waiting until midnight

7 VSM Archive Manager Policy based archiving - Media can be disk, tape, or S3 object - Local or remote, on premise, public or hybrid cloud - Classification of data according to policies: path, owner, group, size, wildcard, age, and date Media format is GNU tar open format - Files are put in a tar container so data is streamed out of the storage tier at device speeds

8 VSM Tiering Functions Ingest data from scratch file systems Package files into tar archive containers Archive automatically from disk cache to archive media based on policies Release archived files from disk cache to free up space Stage automatically from archive media back to disk cache when requested Recycle removable media by repacking the media

9 VSM Platform Support Redhat and Centos Linux 6.5, 6.6, and 6.7 Redhat and Centos Linux Metadata Server(MDS) Redhat and Centos Linux Clients Stay current with Redhat releases

10 VSM Features LUN size is a maximum 4.5 PB Maximum number of LUNs in one file system is 1020 Maximum file system size is in the Exabyte range Inode is 1024 bytes more direct blocks, all 64-bit Supports md5 checksum Object storage interface S3 Ability to migrate from Oracle SAM-QFS to Linux VSM with a samfsdump, sammkfs, samfsrestore LINUX!!!!

11 VSM Samba Libvsm is a LGPL library with APIs for VSM Libvsm enables the vfs-vsm plugin for SerNet Samba Windows can display the offline status for files SerNet Samba and are supported and tested

12 VSM Reference Architecture NFS TCP/IP Metadata Server SAMBA Client 1 & Backup Metadata Server Client 2 Client 3 FC/IB/Ethernet Switch Cache Metadata S3 Tape Disc Object Private Cloud Object Public Cloud

13 Primary Verticals HPC and Scientific Government and Defense Healthcare, Medical, Genomics Banking & Finance Oil & Gas Media & Entertainment Data Center / Web Video Surveillance Not just cold storage

14 Customers (partial) North America Europe Middle East Total Data Managed: PB

15 HPC Partner

16 HPC Architecture

17 Archiving to Object S3 Object Release Currently running at a Versity site in Houston Texas Archiving, staging, and recycling 10X faster performance compared to NFS

18 Archiving Data Rates - Mixed File Sizes

19 Staging Data Rates - Mixed File Sizes

20 Why Object Storage? Archival cost and protection levels without the drawbacks of tape Dramatically faster time to first byte High performance without FC / IB Easier to manage Low cost Safe & Geo replicated

21 What s Next? Scale out archiving application Scale out POSIX archiving file system

22 Why Versity? Pure play, software only Subscription business model No minimum contractual term Perpetual ability to read your data - for free Open source data format Investing in the future!
