Challenges Increase with Scale

How do you optimize dataacross systems?

How do you overcomeresource congestion?

Whats the impact when you

make infrastructure changes?

Can you dynamically offer

classes of service? Can you back up and restore

effectively?

The Evolution of NetApp Technology

Symmetrical two-node pair*:HA failover offers 5 9savailability

Scalability through theaddition of capacity and

bigger controllers

Tiered storage

Volume: container for data:

Flexible in many

dimensions

Fixed and assigned tocontrollers

Begin with a Traditional High-Availability (HA) Pair


11/32

NetApp Clustered Data ONTAP 8.1

Built upon the same familiarHA pair

Transformed with increasedstorage virtualization:

Single access point per

logical container

Untethered data access

Nondisruptive, highly flexiblevolume move

Multi-tenant architecture:

Through multiple logicalcontainers in a single cluster

Risk isolation for groups andclients

The Logical Storage Container: Vserver

Simplifies management:

Compared to individualvolume mount points or LUNmappings

Especially in largeenvironments

Is easily modified to meetchanging business needs

Seamlessly grows or shrinks;can scale to many petabytes

Includes an application viewthat is unchanged as datamoves

Provides access to any datafrom anywhere

Transparent Data Mobility

Move volumes from oneaggregate to another:

Independence of source anddestination aggregate type

Data moved within a Vserver

Data access is unchanged:

Eliminates need for volumeremounts and client changes

LUN mappings are consistent

No impact to clients andapplications; cutover is withinNAS and SAN timeouts

Use Case: Operational Efficiency

Heterogeneous cluster: A mix of controller types in a single

cluster per workload needs

Entry, mid, and high-end platforms

Native and third-party storage(FAS and V-Series)

Multiprotocol

Tiered storage:

Match data to disk price andperformance

Manage multiple tiers in thesame namespace or many

Examples:

Reference data

Disaster recovery mirror destination

Flash Pool Overview

Aggregate-level, read andwrite cache

SSD performance for hot readand write data

Enables capacity HDDs asprimary disk tier

All workloads

Consistent performance duringtakeover and reboot events

Works out of the box withdefault settings

Flash Pool Components

A Flash Pool consists of: An aggregate of 1 or more HDD RAIDgroups

Plus a RAID group of SSDs

One type of HDD can be used

High capacity (SATA) or performance(SAS)

SSDs cache random data

Previously written data (overwrites)

Read data expired from main memory

Existing aggregates can benondisruptively converted to FlashPool
