What’s new in SC6.5.20?

RI (Read Intensive) drives may now be used in Tier 1• Previously, Tier 1 was restricted to WI drives or spinning disk

SC4020 drive minimum changes from 12 to 6 drives• No change to SC8000 drive minimums

Support for additional Read-Intensive SSD drives• 480GB (available Jan, 2014)• 960GB (available Q1, 2014)• 1.9TB (available Q1, 2014)

SC4020 and SC8000 customers with up-to-date Copilot contracts may upgrade non-disruptively to SC6.5.20 firmware at no charge.


SC6.5.20 Update: What is the impact?

SC Series now supports four array solution categories:

Entry-Level Flash

Single-tier, economical

RI SSDs

Flash-Optimized

Multi-tier flash, leverages WI and RI SSDs

Hybrid(#1 customer choice)

“Best of all worlds,” tiered SSD and HDD

Traditional HDD arrays

Cost-optimized solutions for bulk storage

• (6) 480GB RI SSDs, 2.8TB raw capacity

• Dramatic IOPs speed boost over HDD

• Flexible expansion options – grow into Flash-Optimized or Hybrid solution

Scalable, Centralized Data Protection

Storage Challenge Benefits of Intel® Xeon® Processors

Multiple devices require multiple copies of data, increasing the cost of storage and maintenance.

My business and storage needs are growing.

The cost of offsite data back up impacts my bottom line.

Centralized data storage with full backup helps prevent data loss due to lost or stolen devices or hardware crashes.

Intel Xeon processors provide energy-efficient performance and enterprise scalability to support your needs now and in the future.

Encryption, data compression, and de-duplication before offsite back up reduce TCO.

SC4020 to SC8000 Non-Disruptive Upgrade*

* One-time LV license required for non-disruptive migration. Targeted for SCOS v6.6

Upgrade Process Details1. Purchase SC8000 controllers

2. Purchase SC220 enclosure (for existing SC4020 drives) and any other needed enclosures

• Capacity of new system must match SC4020 system

3. Purchase SC4020 to SC8000 software upgrade

• “True-Up” charge only

4. Install new SC8000 controllers/enclosures

5. Migrate SC4020 system configuration to SC8000 via one-time replication or Live Volume

• Professional Services required

6. Move SC200/220 add-on enclosures and drives from SC4020 to SC8000 as additional capacity

7. If desired, move SC4020 internal drives into a new SC220 enclosure as additional capacity

What happens to each SC4020 system component?

DataMigrate using one-time Live Volume*

Softwarelicenses

Keep what you pay for. “True-up” software upgrade charge only.

SC200/220 enclosures and drives

Re-usable in SC8000 system as additional capacity.**

SC4020

Transfer drives to new SC220 in SC8000 system.** Controllers not upgradeable.

Key Values

Perpetual Software Model

• Software transfers easily to SC8000 • Pay upgrade cost only, no need to repurchase

original licenses

Hardware Extension

• Migrate SC4020 data to SC8000 system• Re-purpose SC4020 drives/expansion enclosures

in SC8000 system for additional capacity

** Data must be migrated first –no “data in place” migration.


• (1x) SC4020 w/24 300GB 15K• (2x) SC200 w/24 2TB 7K• 48TB total raw capacity

* Migrate via Replication or LV (no “data in place” migrations). SW true-up charge applies.

Sizing Calculators


Two Sizing Calculators

• Both can be found here under Sales Tools– http://converge.amer.dell.com/tools/

• Select the CML 6.3 Calculator for sizing systems with all hard drives.– Although the tool today does not specifically support the SC4020, the

same disk guidance can be applied

• Select the CML All Flash Calculator for sizing all-flash or hybrid arrays– This tool does have specific support for the SC4020– Example of this new tool on the next few slides

The following animated PPT slide may be used to explain the benefits of SC Series auto-tiering, particularly the unique ability to lower Tier 1 costs by dynamically allocating multiple RAID levels per tier, volume and drive.

Please enter Slide Show mode, and wait several seconds between each click to view the entire animation.

See Slide Notes for additional background.

RAID 5, Tier 1, READ ONLY



After the initial write, Replays consume very little capacity

* Note in a multi-tier Flash solution, the first Data Progression

sequence also moves pages to Tier 2, read-intensive SSDs.

In this example, six writes have occurred at Tier 1, RAID 10 performance. Five have been moved to RAID 5, two to Tier 2 – but any page can be immediately “recalled” to Tier 1 if a new write comes in.

RAID 10, Tier 1


Fully virtualized approach to RAID

Other solutions require RAID groups to be manually pre-configured. Drives are “held captive” at specific RAID levels, and performance is limited by the number of drives in each group.

Storage Center enables multiple RAID levels on each SSD or HDD. No pre-configuration is required. The performance and capacity of the entire tier is presented to all RAID levels simultaneously.
