19 VxRack FLEX and ScaleIO

20 Elasticity for more agility Auto-balance, rebalance and rebuild BALANCED BALANCED BALANCED BALANCED BALANCED Auto-balance of resources across nodes/clusters Auto-rebalance dynamically > Add/remove nodes or disks and the system migrates and rebalances the storage Auto-rebuild when resources fail or removed Handle additions and removals simultaneously 20

21 Fully Converged / Hybrid - Today Fully Converged Compute/Storage are shared SDC/SDS on the same host Hybrid Fully Converged with Storage Only Example: Fully Converged 21

22 Adding Two-Layer in the Future Two-layer Compute only nodes don t share their storage Storage only nodes don t share their compute Segregate SDS from Compute 22
