1 HP Storage Summit 2015 Transform Now. Network Innovation to Maximize Storage Evolution Marty Lans Senior Director, Storage and Data Center Network Engineering & Development

2 The networks role in the evolution of storage The role was comparatively simple in the beginning but now In the beginning Performance Lossless Secure SAN Fibre Channel Interoperability But then an explosion of data Every 60 seconds 98,000+ tweets 695,000 status updates 11million instant messages 698,445 Google searches 168 million+ s sent 1,820TB of data created 217 new mobile web users Fibre Channel iscsi RDMA??? With lots of options Search engine Audio Texts Social media Documents Mobile Transactional data IT/OT Images Software Defined Storage Video Hyper-convergence Converged Storage Virtualization Cloud

3 Network challenges Same service level at the very least True End-to-end*, In-band Provisioning & Orchestration from Anywhere True End-to-end* Diagnostics Real-Time Device Discovery & Registrations Secure & Authenticated Connections True End-to-end QoS Protocol Normalization or Parity * LUN to Initiator

4 back to the time of data creation new approach Leverage protocol intelligence via standard-based methodologies Today: Static & Manual Needed: Automated & Orchestrated Fibre Channel Frame Ethernet Packet Fibre Channel Frame Ethernet Packet IMC, SSMC, vcenter

5 New: HP Smart SAN Autonomic SAN Configuration for 3PAR StoreServ Simplify zoning setup 80% fewer steps Number of Steps Without Smart SAN 10 With Smart SAN 2 Amount of Time 99% less time Without Smart SAN 2 Hours With Smart SAN 1 Minute Ideal for Starter Kit type customers It Staff with limited SAN administration resources Supported configurations FC deployments B-series SANs, HPN 5900CP

6 HP Smart SAN What is Smart SAN? 1. Protocol agnostic SAN management and orchestration enabled via in-band metadata collection FC, FCoE and iscsi 2. Embedded intelligence in SAN infrastructure, enabling end-to-end diagnostics Embedded in host adapters, switches and targets. Built on industry standards. No additional software layers required 3. 3PAR driven SAN configuration enabling ease of deployment Empowering 3PAR to drive SAN configuration and management (auto zoning, e2e QoS and security) 4. Integration with HP management frameworks Enabled via REST/SNMP software interfaces to integrate with SSMC, OneView Functionality embedded in the Switch Smart SAN Enabled Hosts FC FCoE iscsi (v2.0) QoS, Diagnostics (v2.0) e2e Aggregate Discovery Data Collection Autoconfiguration (Zoning, Security) Smart SAN Enabled Fabric FC FCoE iscsi (v2.0) Smart SAN Enablement in SSMC (v2.0) CLI Target Management Console Thin Smart SAN management enablement through 3PAR CLI Smart SAN Enabled Array

7 Smart SAN Ecosystem Protocol parity for customer choice Protocol growth trends for storage Available! Fibre Channel SAN Ethernet Traditional Ethernet Open HP, OEM & Resell Partnerships HP & Resell Partnerships HP Bringing the Factory to the Customer

8 Smart SAN Storage Optimized Ethernet Switch Automated iscsi Switch Deployment & Configuration Switch Config Server Config Create Host (3PAR CLI) Without Smart SAN Configure separate VLAN s for SAN and LAN Ensure iscsi is VLAN tagged for server/storage facing ports Configure default TCP port, iscsi traffic Configure ETS, put in right queue Enable LLDP, DCBX TLV, apply QoS policy Configure PFC Complete ETS on server interface, WRR byte cnt Configure flow control on storage facing ports Repeat/Copy config in other switches Discover iscsi target ports Enter CHAP secret, digest login all iscsi target ports Configure iscsi port on 3PAR (iscsi) Configure settings (MTU, VLAN tag, IP address) Create host, properties (IQN, paths, CHAP) Create VLUN, export to host, Go to server, rescan on host, verify disk With Smart SAN (Enter VLAN ID and other parameters with Smart SAN enable) Value add display initiators/targets, and Diagnostic info, DCB TLVs discovery Enter CHAP secret, digest, automatic if no CHAP (ACL zoning handles security) login all iscsi target ports No changes Value add display DCBX TLV, initiators Time savings measured in days not hours!

9 Storage Optimized Ethernet Switch Open source SAN switch to maximize the power of Smart SAN Industry s First Open SAN Switch!* Merchant silicon Applications High performance: Top-of-rack 1U 1/10/40GbE switch High scalability: 48 * 10GbE SFP+ ports Lower entry costs: with 20 * 40GBE QSFP+ fixed ports Modular expansion: using two 6*40GbE modules Alternatively: 104 * 10GbE ports using split cables Customer choice: Cumulus Linux network operating system Open networking: ONIE boot loader, OCP certification track VXLAN support: for network virtualization and clouds Bare metal switch Network OS Disaggregated switch components Tools & utilities *Roadmap/Future: Currently not shipping

10 In summary Enterprises are moving to a New Style of IT Storage Network needs to adapt to the ever changing storage landscape Now the SAN can take advantage of what is happening to the rest of the data center network New approach of moving the SAN into the array will maximize any storage evolution Protocol should be based on application requirements The Array, SAN and Server merge as one for a truly orchestrated infrastructure
