NAND Flash technology is used across the IBM Systems Flash

Storage Portfolio Flash Memory provides important advantages over tradition Hard Disk Drives:

! Faster read and write operations ! Non-volatile ! Less prone to damage ! Physically small ! Low power consumption ! Inherently rugged

NAND Flash comes in many types

!  Single-level cell (SLC) - Highest performance ! Multilevel cell (MLC) - Good balance between

performance and cost !  Triple-level cell (TLC) - Lower cost for read

intensive workloads

MLC1 NAND Technology is used across the IBM Systems Flash Storage portfolio

1Enterprise MLC (eMLC) or IBM enhanced MLC

Flash technology can be used in many forms …

IBM Systems Flash Storage Offerings

All-flash array (AFA)

Mixed (HDD/SSD/CFH)

All-Custom Flash Hardware (CFH) All-SSD

Hybrid-flash array (HFA)

CFH defines an architecture that uses optimized flash modules to provide better performance and lower latency than SSDs. Examples of CFH are:

•  High-Performance Flash Enclosure Gen2 •  FlashSystem MicroLatency Module

•  All-flash arrays are storage solutions that only use flash media (CFH or SSDs) designed to deliver maximum performance for application and workload where speed is critical.

•  Hybrid-flash arrays are storage solutions that support a mix of HDDs, SSDs and CFH designed to provide a balance between performance, capacity and cost for a variety of workloads

DS8880 now offers an All-flash Family enabled with High-Performance Flash Enclosures Gen2 designed to deliver superior performance, more flash capacity and uncompromised availability

DS8880 also offers Hybrid-flash solutions with CFH, SSD and HDD configurations designed to satisfy a wide range of business needs from superior performance to cost efficient requirements

Flash brings real benefits that justify the investment by far … Besides the performance benefits, there are additional compelling advantages when adopting Flash technology

•  Source: Justifying Investment in All-Flash Arrays. IDC August 2016 •  https://ibm.northernlight.com/document.php?docid=IA20160806670000131&datasource=IBM&referrer=api •  The information provided is based on comparisons made between flash and the use of traditional storage systems with HDDs

30% less servers to meet the desired performance level agreements

40% less energy and floor space requirements

Over 4 times better CPU utilization on application servers

30% savings in software licensing costs

35% savings in administrative and operating costs

Over 6 times improvement in reliability and availability

RAID 6 for mission-critical protection

Drive media is rapidly increasing in capacity to 10TB and more. The greater density provides real cost advantages but requires changes in the types of RAID protection used

1 2 3 4 5 6 P

S

Traditionally RAID 5 has been used over RAID 6 for Enterprise and Flash media because:

!  Performs better than RAID 6 !  Provides more usable capacity

RAID 5

However as the drive capacity increases , RAID 5 exposes enterprises to increased risks, since higher capacity drives are more vulnerable to storage media errors during array rebuild

!  Data will be lost, if a second drive fails while the first failed drive is being rebuilt !  Media errors experienced on a drive during rebuild result in a portion of the data being non-recoverable

1 2 3 4 5 Q

P

S

RAID 6 RAID 5 uses one parity drive whereas RAID 6 uses two


IBM Systems | 8

The DS8880 family takes the increased risks posed by high capacity drives very seriously

RAID 6 ensures business continuity for mission-critical applications because:

!  Data is still protected event if a second drive fails while the first failed drive is being rebuilt !  Information placed in unreadable regions in a specific drive can be detected, isolated and recovered

from the remaining drives !  RAID 6 provides a 1000x improvement over RAID5 for impact risk

In order to improve data availability, IBM moves protection to the next level by enabling RAID 6 as default in the GUI for all drive types

The use of RAID6 rather than RAID5 can dramatically reduce the probability of drive failures providing increased protection for workloads where data integrity is critical
