12 EMC s CLARiiON Software Environment CLARiiON operating environment (FLARE) CLARiiON metaluns CLARiiON virtual LUN technology (dynamic LUN migration) CLARiiON Replication Products SnapView: Local point-in time replicas on disks MirrorView: Replicas to other CX systems SAN Copy: Multi-vendor data mobility and protection CLARiiON management software Navisphere

13 CLARiiON MetaLUN Provisioning Creates an abstraction of the physical placement of data MetaLUNs enable quick response for additional storage Application stays online with no disruption (host-platformdependent) Benefits of metaluns: Better capacity utilization from anywhere within array Lets you spread data over more spindles for better performance Includes striping capabilities for enhanced LUN expansion

14 CLARiiON Virtual LUN Technology Moves volumes within a CLARiiON CX system without application disruption Makes management easier Tiered storage within a CLARiiON CX series system Optimize performance up or down Use all available capacity Move to new drive technology Feature available with FLARE 16 or greater

15 SnapView: Two Local Replication Methods SnapView is a software product for the CLARiiON AX100 and up Storage-based product; uses no host cycles Provides up to 8 replicas per source each Full image copies of production information, called business continuance volumes (BCVs or clones) Logical point-in-time views of production information, called snapshots SnapView Replica restores Source Return to original production data at time of split Can be mounted to secondary host to verify data consistency Full Image Copy BCV Clone Production Information Snap Logical Point-In-Time View snapshot

16 MirrorView: Remote Replication Mirroring between CLARiiON systems Storage-based; uses no host cycles Bi-directional mirroring for maximum protection Enables complete failover of production environment to remote site Protects critical production information from planned and unplanned downtime Protection from natural, mechanical, and environmental disasters Minimizes planned downtime for equipment upgrades, disaster recovery process testing Bi-directional Remote Mirroring Production A Mirror B Local CLARiiON Mirror A Production B Remote CLARiiON

17 MirrorView: Available Choices MirrorView/Synchronous (MirrorView/S) Highest service level - No data exposure Limited distance (<120 Miles) Needs more network bandwidth Source 120 Miles Maximum Target MirrorView/Asynchronous (MirrorView/A) Customer defined RPO (Recovery Point Objective) - Minutes to hours Unlimited distance Needs less network bandwidth Source Unlimited Distance Target

18 EMC SAN Copy Fast Uses the SAN or WAN to make copies Full or incremental copies Bi-directional No server cycles used Simple Uses Navisphere or CLI to manage No additional hardware Open EMC CLARiiON, Symmetrix, Celerra IBM FAStT HP EVA, MA, EMA, MSA1000 Sun StorEdge T3 Data London Data Atlanta Central Data Center Data Data Data Data Data Data Data

19 Navisphere Management Suite Secure, Easy-to-Use, Browser-Based Management Interface Accessible via web browser, anywhere, anytime Management interface for Navispheremanaged applications: SnapView MirrorView SAN Copy Automation via CLI Security via SSL and strong user authentication for confidentiality and access control Enterprise framework integration: Tivoli OpenView CA Unicenter
