The Basics
Evolution of the Datacenter CVM CVM CVM Hypervisor Hypervisor Hypervisor X86 X86 X86 Node 1 Node 2 Node N Single Storage Pool Local (Flash + HDD) High Perf and Capacity Optimization Data Protection and DR Resilience Security 24
Anatomy of a Write I/O Node Guest VM Node Node Controller VM Controller VM Controller VM Hypervisor Hypervisor Hypervisor Storage Storage Storage Performance and availability Data is written locally Replicated on other nodes for high availability Replicas are spread across cluster for high performance 25
Anatomy of a Read I/O Node Guest VM Node Node Controller VM Controller VM Controller VM Hypervisor Hypervisor Hypervisor Storage Storage Storage Performance and availability Data is read locally Remote access only if data is not locally present 26
vmotion/drs or Live Migration Node Guest VM Node Node Controller VM Controller VM Controller VM Hypervisor Hypervisor Hypervisor Storage Storage Storage Seamless VM Migration Metadata service can access data from anywhere Locality improves over time 27
Distributed Storage Fabric
29 Performance Acceleration and Capacity Optimization
MapReduce Cold Data Hot Data Intelligent Tiering SSD PCIe SSD PCIe Automatic Performance Optimization Leverage multiple tiers of storage Continuously monitors data access patterns Optimally places data for best performance No user intervention required HDD HDD Hot Data SSD Random data Persistent tier Maximum performance Cold Data HDD Sequential data Highest capacity Most economical 30
Data Locality Keep data on the same node as VM All read operations localized on same node ILM transparently moves remote data to local controller Reduces network chattiness significantly Data follows VM during vmotion/live Migration 31
Automatic Disk Balancing After disk balancing has run the utilization will be uniform Larger aka Storage Heavy nodes will have larger capacities and hence hold more data VM 1 VM N VM 1 VM N VM 1 VM N Hypervisor Hypervisor Hypervisor Storage Storage Storage CVM CVM CVM 35% 35% NDFS 35% This process is done both during runtime with node/disk placement as well as back ground Curator process Real-time balancing of storage within the cluster/nodes Supports heterogeneous and homogenous node types (Compute heavy/storage heavy) Uniform distribution of data Leverages MapReduce framework Requires no manual intervention 32
VM Flash Mode (Ultimate License) Pin Hot VMs to SSD (Example: Oracle) All Flash performance in a hybrid system Does not affect VM mobility CLI support for pinning to HDD Ability to pin at vdisk level 33
Deduplication CPU Memory CPU CPU Memory Memory Distributed Deduplication Before CPU Memory Inline fingerprinting with postprocess deduplication Distributed across all nodes true scale-out Global dedup across entire cluster SHA-1 fingerprinting offloaded to Intel processors for greater efficiency 100% software-defined Strong hash allows dedup to happen based on metadata match After 34
