2 LaserTAPE : The Future of Storage by Kenneth Samarra Kenneth Samarra Chief SAN Architect LOTS Technology Global Urgent Response Unit

3 Agenda 1. LaserTAPE Update: Where are we today? 2. The Big Picture: Where does it fit? 3. LaserTAPE: A Next-Generation Storage Device Scaling to Petabytes and beyond.

4 LaserTAPE LOTSt m Update

5 WHERE are we TODAY? LaserTAPE Update LOTS has moved all operations from Sunnyvale, CA to Longmont, CO Critical Engineering Positions have been Filled Ray Falce has come on-board as President and COO Experienced Management Team in Place

6 WHERE are we TODAY? LaserTAPE Update CONTROLLER QLogic SCSI & Fibre Channel Real Time Yellow Dog LINUX A Powerful Computer inside our Drive!

7 LaserTAPE LOTSt m Roadmap DATA RATE MB/s DTF DLT & LTO AIT LaserTAPE WHERE are we GOING?

8 LaserTAPE LOTSt m Roadmap CAPACITY TB per cartridge DTF LTO DLT AIT LaserTAPE WHERE are we GOING?

9 The BIG Picture LOTSt m A Whole Product HOW are we going to get there? Standards & Procedures Additional Software Training & Support Additional Hardware Misc. (cables, racks, power supplies, air compressors, etc.) Installation & Debugging Systems Integration

10 The BIG Picture A Whole Product HOW are we going to get there? Standards & Procedures Additional Software Training & Support Additional Hardware Misc. (cables, racks, power supplies, air compressors, etc.) Installation & Debugging Systems Integration

11 Systems Integration Architecture Robotic Library WHAT does it LOOK like? OS FSMS User Application RS422 Library Interface Software Hooks & OS Drivers

12 Initial Configurations Drive Configurations: 1 to 8 drives in a standard 19 Rack HBA: QLogic Ultra3 SCSI Adapter Operating Systems: LINUX SGI IRIX SUN SOLARIS Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server Software: Grau Infinistore SUN SAMFS OTG Disk Xtender IBM HPSS Host Hardware: Intel Pentium (Compaq, Dell, IBM, etc.) SGI Origin SUN Sparc Robotic Tape Libraries: Grau 10000

13 Scaling to Petabytes and beyond

14 LOTS tm Technology Scaling to Petabytes and beyond How are we going to scale to 10,000 storage nodes? 100,000? Millions? Laser TAPE

15 Scaling to Petabytes and beyond Bandwidth Data Flow Management HOW are we going to DO IT? OBJECTIZE!

16 Future Technologies: Today s Problem Bandwidth Current parallel PCI bus is a severe Bottleneck! Bandwidth is Seriously Maxed-Out! Parallel Architecture prohibits Growth and Limits Distance CPU must play Switchboard Operator Only one PCI card can talk on the line to the CPU at any given time NOT MODULAR!!! DOES NOT SCALE!!!

17 Future Technologies: Bandwidth HOW will we OVERCOME it? Infiniband

18 Future Technologies: Bandwidth LOTSt m Infiniband WHO s a DOING IT? STORAGETEK

19 Future Technologies: Today s Problem Bandwidth LaserTape 40T 40MB/s LaserTape 120T 120MB/s CPU 10GB/s (10,000MB/s) PCI 480MB/s Ultra3 SCSI 160MB/s 2 Gb FC 200MB/s RAID Array 100MB/s The PCI Bottleneck

20 Future Technologies: Bandwidth LOTSt m Infiniband LaserTape 40T 40MB/s LaserTape 120T 120MB/s CPU 10GB/s (10,000MB/s) Infiniband 10Gb FC 1000MB/s RAID Array 100MB/s The Infiniband Solution

21 Future Technologies: Bandwidth LOTSt m Infiniband Motherboard Hard Drive 230W Power Supply Floppy Drive Hard Drive CD ROM Drive CPU CPU PCI BUS2 Slot 2 Internal PCI BUS1 SCSI Slot HBA 1 Fibre PCI Channel BUS1 Slot HBA2 0 Network Adapter1 PCI BUS0 Slot 2 Fibre PCI Channel BUS0 Slot HBA1 1 Fibre PCI Channel BUS0 Slot HBA0 0 Network AGP Adapter0 Slot Video Adapter 230W Power Supply

26 Future Technologies: Today s Problem Data Flow Dumb Storage Devices require Host Server Intervention to Operate Block Level Data instead of File Level Data! Can t Share same Data between different OSs over the SAN Even on the same OS, you need a lock manager like clustering! NO True Serverless Backup NOT MODULAR! DOES NOT SCALE!

27 Future Technologies: Data Flow HOW will we OVERCOME it? OSD

28 Future Technologies: Data Flow LOTSt m OSD WHO s a DOING IT? COMPUTER SCIENCE STORAGETEK

29 Future Technologies: OSD (Object-based Storage Device) Data Flow True Object-Based Storage Intelligent Storage Devices Block Level Communication moves out of OS onto Device True Heterogeneous Attaches Dynamically growing RAID Serverless Backups The Holy Grail of Storage!

30 Future Technologies: Data Flow Today Applications HOW does it WORK? Tomorrow Applications System call interface System call interface File system user component Host OS File system user component File system storage component OSD interface Sector/LBA interface File OSD system storage component Block I/O manager Device Block I/O manager

31 Future Technologies: Today s Problem Management Too many Management Infrastructures!!! SNMP for Networks DMI Desktops CMIP for Telco SMBIOS for Motherboards ASF for low-level post- BIOS, pre-os DRM for disk and RAID NOT MODULAR!!! DOES NOT SCALE!!! HOW do we DO IT TODAY?

32 Future Technologies: HOW will we OVERCOME it? BLUEfin

33 Future Technologies: Management LOTSt m BLUEfin WHO s a DOING IT? STORAGETEK

34 Future Technologies: Management LOTSt m BLUEfin Provides common interface to manage SAN resources Solves the problem of multi-vendor SAN interoperability Based off of WBEM-CIM-XML and SNIA Shared Storage Model Replaces out-dated SNMP Provides a unified management infrastructure for the enterprise!

35 Future Technologies: Management LOTSt m BLUEfin Services Include: Configuration Automatic Discovery Health Monitoring Capacity Planning Performance Security SMART MEMRI

36 Future Technologies: Management LOTSt m BLUEfin 1. A Model describes what you are managing. 2. A Framework allows you to manage the model. 3. A Policy says how you can manage the model.

37 Future Technologies: Management LOTSt m BLUEfin TCP/IP

38 Conclusion LaserTAPE is a the Next-Generation Storage Device Storage of the Future Device BLUEfin OSD LinuX Infiniband
