6 Why Do We Virtualize? Efficiency Centralized management Consolidate many underutilized systems Saves power, cooling, floor/rack space, etc. Flexibility Run and test with multiple operating systems (or versions) Deploy applications quickly and efficiently, with isolation Protection Backing up or replicating at a VM level simplifies and speeds disaster recovery 6

7 What Does Virtualization Cost? Complexity Virtualization is another technology to learn and maintain Heterogeneous environments may require learning multiple interfaces Scale Virtualization enables computing at scale Can lead to a proliferation of virtual machines, which must be managed 7

8 How Can We Help? By providing full-featured virtualization integration which is thoughtfully designed to make your life easier. 8

9 Agenda Why? VMware Block File Virtual Volumes Microsoft Hyper-V OpenStack Cinder Manila Questions 9

10 VMware

11 VMware Dedicated Virtualization 11

12 VMware - Evolving History of Storage Integration Block datastores Driven by SCSI device limitations Enhanced by VAAI in ESX 4 (2009) NFS datastores Allowed storage on NFS servers Enhanced by VAAI in ESX 5 (2011), requires an ESX plugin Virtual Volumes Introduced with VASA 2 in vsphere 6.0 (2015) Driven by two challenges: scaling and granularity 12

13 ESXi Storage ESXi Server VMFS Datastore vdisk vdisk NFS Datastore VVOL Datastore vdisk vdisk vdisk vdisk SCSI VAAI NFS VAAI SCSI NFS Read Write ATS XCOPY ZERO Create Delete Read Write Snap Clone Stats Read Write ATS PE VASA Create/Delete Bind/Unbind Snap Clone/Migrate LUN File File vvol vvol File System VVOL Datastore Unity Array VASA Provider 13

14 What s new in VMware vsphere? VMFS6 Introduced in vsphere 6.5 Supports automatic space reclamation (UNMAP) Support for creating VMFS6 datastores in Dell EMC Unity 4.3* *Supported using the VSI plugin, CLI, and REST API GUI support planned No conversion, only migration (using storage vmotion) vsphere 6.7 Fully supported by Dell EMC Unity 14

15 VMware Integrations How can we make using vcenter with Dell EMC Unity a seamless experience? vcenter Discovery Virtual Storage Integrator EMC Storage Analytics Storage Replication Adapter And more 15

16 VMware Integration vcenter Discovery 16

17 VMware Integration Virtual Storage Integrator Provides a single management interface for Dell EMC storage within the vsphere environment Implemented as a VMware vcenter plug-in Use Cases Provision file, block, or Virtual Volume storage for use in VMware virtual environments Activate advanced storage array features from within vsphere clones, snapshots, compression, View detailed storage properties from within vsphere Supports other Dell EMC platforms in addition to Dell EMC Unity AppSync, RecoverPoint, PowerPath, VMAX, VNX, VNXe, VPLEX, XtremIO 17

18 Datastore Creation Using VSI 18

19 VMware Integration EMC Storage Analytics Management Pack for VMware vrealize Operations Manager (vrops) which enables Dell EMC storage monitoring Use Cases Storage performance and capacity monitoring through predictive analytics Troubleshooting and optimization through alerting and recommended actions Inventory management and reporting Supports other Dell EMC platforms in addition to Dell EMC Unity Avamar, Isilon, RP4VMs, ScaleIO, VMAX, VNX, VNXe, VPLEX, XtremIO 19

20 Monitoring With ESA 20

21 VMware Integration Storage Replication Adapter Enables VMware Site Recovery Manager (SRM) to implement disaster recovery for VMware virtual machines using Dell EMC storage platforms Use Cases Discover VMware storage resources backed by Dell EMC storage devices that are protected by array-based data replication features for inclusion in a failover plan Initiate a test failover and observe results without bringing down any systems Failover a VMware environment and replicated Dell EMC storage to minimize downtime in the event of a disaster Supports other Dell EMC platforms in addition to Dell EMC Unity 21

22 Microsoft

23 Microsoft A (Slightly) Different Take Hyper-V is integrated into Windows Different requirements than stand-alone virtualization Same requirement for copying (large) files efficiently Hyper-V consumes storage via Windows Server NTFS over SCSI (FC/iSCSI) CIFS for network attached storage Hyper-V allows integration with storage UNMAP ODX 23

24 Offloaded Data Transfer (ODX) Introduced in Windows Server 2012 SCSI commands used by NTFS and Hyper-V Two-stage operation Populate Token Returns a token which names a representation of data (ROD) ROD can include multiple segments Write Using Token Copies the data described by the passed token to destination ROD Can be issued by different host than PT 24

25 Offloaded Data Transfer (ODX) Token Populate Token Token Write Using Token Result 25

26 ODX Efficiency Environment: Windows 2012 R2 Unity 500 array Copy 50 GB file between two LUs Copy Time: 14:24 Copy Time: 1:07 26

27 OpenStack

Identity Compute image store Volume service File service

28 OpenStack New Kid on the Block Horizon (Cliff) Keystone Nova Glance Dashboard Cinder Manila Neutron Trove Heat Identity Compute image store Volume service File service networking database Orchestration Ceilometer telemetry service 28

29 OpenStack Message Flow Nova (compute service) generates volume or file requests Volume requests go to Cinder Cinder routes request to appropriate plugin for underlying storage Cinder plugin converts API requests to storage-specific commands File requests go to Manila Manila routes request to appropriate plugin for underlying file storage Manila plugin converts API requests to storage-specific commands 29

30 Dell EMC Unity OpenStack Support OpenStack Storage Services provide plugin APIs Allows storage vendors to provide optimized support Dell EMC provides Cinder and Manila plugins for Unity (and VNX) Dell EMC plugins are open source and freely downloadable via OpenStack What s New? Support for Pike and Queens releases QoS support for Volumes (Pike and later) IPv6 support (Queens and later) Use thin clones when cloning Volumes (Queens and later) 30

31 Dell EMC Unity Cinder Support Key Features FC & iscsi Thin Provisioning FAST VP, FAST Cache Performance Optimizations Pool-Aware Scheduler Fabric Manager Manage/Un-Manage Volume Initiator Auto Registration Quality of Service Cinder Operations Support Create, Delete, Extend Volume Attach/Detach Volume Create/Delete Snapshot List Volumes, List Snapshots Copy Image to Volume, Copy Volume to Image Clone Volume, Create Volume from Snapshot 31

32 Dell EMC Unity Manila Support Key Features SMB & NFS Flat & vlan Network Support Performance Optimizations Pool-Aware Scheduler Manila Operations Support Create, Delete, Extend Share Create/Delete Snapshot Create Share from Snapshot List Shares, List Snapshots Allow Access to Share 32

33 Endgame

34 What Did We Skip? RP4VMs RecoverPoint replication and recovery AppSync Application-consistent VM snapshots Avamar Backup and recovery to Avamar EMC Storage Integrator (ESI) Managing and monitoring Dell EMC storage from Microsoft Windows 34

35 Recap Virtualization allows us to use resources more efficiently VMware provides dedicated, industry-leading virtualization Hyper-V provides virtualization for Microsoft environments OpenStack provides an open source environment for virtualization Dell EMC Unity provides integrations to make virtualization seamless 35
