Intelligent Tiering

Automatic Performance Optimization

Hot Data SSD

• Random data

• Persistent tier

• Maximum performance

✓ Leverage multiple tiers of storage

✓ Continuously monitors data access patterns

✓ Optimally places data for best performance

✓ No user intervention required

Cold Data HDD

• Sequential data

• Highest capacity

• Most economical

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

32

Automatic Disk Balancing

✓ 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

This process is done both during runtime with node/disk placement as well as back ground Curator process

Larger aka “Storage Heavy” nodes will have larger capacities and hence hold more data

After disk balancing has run the utilization will be uniform

Deduplication

Before

After

Distributed Deduplication

✓ “Inline fingerprinting with post-process 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

35

Compression

✓ Inline and post-process compression

✓ Inline: Data compressed as it’s written

✓ MapReduce: Data compressed after “cold” data is migrated to lower-performance storage tiers
