SAM-QFS was recently moved from the disk into the tape organization. This is extremely good for SAM because there is better strategic alignment between the product and the tape organization, and we are receiving increased management focus and resources. The development team has stayed in place, and the program team has changed. This means new Product and Program Managers, as well as other members of the p-team working other functions

Now that I’ve shown how SAM works at a very high level, I want to give you some more background information on the product. SAM is a very mature product and has been in the marketplace for over 15 years, and has a large install base. It is extremely scalable in terms of capacity and the number of files it can store. By setting policies, users and implement and manage an HSM system in a way that is relatively seamless. SAM-QFS is based on open standards, has a POSIX compliant file system, and stores files in the open .tar format

This shows a high level overview of a typical SAM architecture. Keep in mind there are several ways that SAM-QFS can be architected and implemented. At the heart of the system is the metadata server. Below that is the primary disk, or disk cache. Both metadata and system data are stored on the primary disk. Archive copies can be made to capacity disk or tape. This particular view shows 4 tiers of storage. Then there are the QFS clients, which can interface with the files using NFS or CIFS The SAM-QFS architecture is extremely scalable. Multiple file systems can be used, enabling the system to scale to billions of files. Oracle disk and tape storage technologies enable the system to scale to several PB’s of disk cache and EB’s of tape archive space.
Basic Functions of SAM Files are managed by policies, user interaction is not required

There are numerous functions within SAM, but this slide shows the 3 primary ones. The Archive function copies data to disk and tape. Release removes the files from the primary disk / disk cache. This frees storage space and improves the performance of the cache. Staging returns the files back to the primary disk so they can be easily accessed by applications. These basic functions copy and move files in the background and don’t require user interaction.

The SAM archiver function monitors the file system and identifies files that need archive copies. This is rule-based and files are processed based on the policies the user has implemented. It processes candidate archive files based on age, size utilization or other factors. SAM will dynamically create up to four local/remote copies across tiers of storage based on policies.
Release •Release files from file system based on policies or user request
•Metadata remains on the file system

The releaser function removes files from the disk cache. As with the archiver. Files are processed based on factors such as utilization, age and size. The user can also set polices based on how much of the disk cache they will allow to be used. SAM will begin releasing files if a high water mark threshold is crossed, even if other policies related to some of the files themselves have not yet been triggered. This gives users more control over the operation and performance of their system. An optimized set of policies will allow the user to achieve high performance while minimizing the cost of their disk cache. It is important to keep in mind here that even when a file is released from the primary disk, the metadata for that file remains. SAM can also archive copies of metadata back to the storage tiers, but we are not going to cover that functionality in this webcast.
Stage •Return files to primary file system on access request

When an application needs to access a file that is has been released (in other words not on the primary disk), the stager function is used. The stager function makes copies of files that are on archive tiers onto the primary disk. When the released file is requested the stager will read from the 1st available copy. If for some reason the 1st is unavailable, the stager will try the next available copy. When determining which of the copies of the files is first available, tape mounting and positioning optimization is considered.
Space on an archive volume can include 1 or all of the following: – Active files in the file system – Files that have been removed from the file system – Files that have been changed in the file system (SAM
creates a new archive of changed file) – Unused space
SAM Recycler is used to reclaim space on archive media

Novant Health provides an example of a customers using SAM in the healthcare industry. Novant stores over 900 million files using SAM. While SAM can store this many files, it is important to remember that storing this many requires the use of multiple QFS file systems. While there isn’t a theoretical limit to how many files you can store in a single QFS system, the time it takes to do samfsdumps and file system checks will degrade when you have more than about 100 million files. Novant use SAM to store medical data such as radiology images, x-rays and MRI’s. Regulations vary depending on the country, but in many cases customers are required to keep medical data for 50 or even 100 years. With these requirements the use of tiered storage including tape becomes essential to comply with the regulations while keeping their TCO low enough to meet their budget.

Slide Transition: What we hear from customers like you is that I.T. complexity gets in the way of serving the business. .You’re consumed with the endless integration, configuration, tuning, and testing that custom-assembled systems require – with little room left for innovation and change.
To summarize, we can contrast the two approaches – the traditional approach of mix & match vs.. Oracle’s optimized solutions. There are significant gains that can be made by leveraging a complete solution that is engineered to work together. 1) With a collection of vendors, it can be challenging to determine who to turn to for specialized knowledge and support. Suppliers are typically accountable only for their components and not for the overall configuration and end results of your deployment. With Oracle Optimized Solutions, Oracle, as the developer of everything in the configuration, is in a unique position to support your needs. 2) A matrix of products may be optimized independently but not optimized to work together as a single system. Within Oracle, teams collaborate through the development process to recognize and take advantage of synergies across products to deliver the best results. 3) In the traditional deployment model, the first assembly of these technologies is in your data center either through IT staff or a paid integrator. How to best configure, tune, and deliver high availability is a patchwork of practices around various products in the configuration. With Oracle Optimized Solutions, you are leveraging configurations and practices that have been developed and shaken out by Oracle. Practices are developed with awareness of the other components that will be in the stack vs.. in isolation. Finally, the complexities noted above place a significant burden on IT staff, which is forced to spend a significant amount of time working to support day-to-day operations, including maintenance and updates. By reducing the complexity, Oracle Optimized Solutions can enable staff to turn more focus to strategic projects and spend less time on day-to-day concerns.

They are ready and staged to use the data to achieve success in product development and in corp strategy. update 30x to 40x; making "increasing" lowercaseas IDC reecntly documented, it was is estimated that in the 10 years between 2010 and 2020, the size of the “Digital Universe” will increase 29X That’s a 41% increase in content every year. And many thing this is even conservative and that we may see closer to 60% annual growth, which would give us a 100x increase in digital data. Source: IDC Digital Universe Study, 2011 The combination of growth in data and on-going data center evolution means that both the mix of data and it’s anticipated usages are changing as well. Here are 5 key items that are driving not just the growth of data but how we deal with it. And how we deal with it will be key to the data center of the future. Increasing variety of data :: People have typically thought of Oracle as a database company, but 80% of data created and available is actually unstructured. This means that the majority of your capacity is going towards e-mail, document and video storage – which probably has a different value per gigabyte than the data in your core databases. If you are treating all of your data equally, like it was all a high-performance business critical database, you may be behind the benchmarks set by your competitors. Similarly, 80% of data is never used after 90 days. This is tightly tied to the unstructured number, but is also the case with structured data. For instance, how often do you look at e-mail that is over 90 days old? Similarly, once you are outside of a fiscal quarter, you are less likely to need to dig down into orders and shipments for that quarter and can probably do your Business Intelligence work from summary data. Or, consider that we are seeing a significant increase in requests for 100 year archives – and these are not just from digital libraries (the preservation and duration of data in digital libraries is a whole other topic). We are seeing these from governments, research organizations, and industries that need to keep track of data on population wide drug interactions or individual airplanes for 10, 20 or 50 years – and not just have them locked away in a cave somewhere but have them available quickly (if not immediately) when called on to do so. One question for you to think about is what your organization’s archive horizon ought to be. Or, how are you going to deal with the energy consumed by storage? It’s already 40% of the power consumed and is growing 20% per year. With systems actually requiring less power every year. Within 10 years, the total power consumed by storage could increase to more than 6x what it is today – representing over 75% of the energy consumed in the data center. Considering that 80% of the data is never looked at again, and after 6 months that number increases further, we need a better way of dealing with massive amounts of storage. And of course the cost of managing this data is exploding as well. The increasing number of data sources, data formats, government regulations and the business critical nature of data is driving up management costs by 25% per year – even faster than energy utilization rates – so that data and storage management will become the number one cost within many data centers. With all of this growth in size and capacity, it is more important than ever to align the value of data with the capabilities and cost of the storage it is stored on. We need to drive the cost of storage used for data that is never referenced again to virtually zero, we need to accelerate access to critical data so we can run our businesses faster and smarter, and we need to do this in an efficient manner which doesn’t overwhelm storage and database administration staffs.

People do not actually look through telescopes, ask a customer what they bought last, or watch the weather. Instead, the web, large complex instruments or applications relay data to datacenters, and only then do we look at the information on computers. Much analog and history data on paper and in journals is converted to digital to be stored and analyzed. People ask questions and having the computer analyze the data for answers. Content is shared.
There are content experts that understand their applications that ingest and index content. It can be documents, video, images, etc. That expert does not care where the data lives, just so it is protected and comes back dynamically when it is accessed. To accomplish this, you need a storage abstraction layer. The application will continue to write and read using standard protocols such as scsi for block protocols and NFS or CIFS for IP based file protocols.This enables the introduction of a tiered storage infrastructure without requiring the applications to write to an API and without requiring files to be restored from a backup.

Application can continue to write to primary disk and may even have the logic to move data to capacity disk, maybe even keep two copies. Why should the application know what storage a piece of data should live on? Applications do not know how to write to tape. BackUp apps can write to tape and a very few archive apps can write to tape but have trouble keeping up with the tech changes in the tape industry.

Application continues to write using a standard block or file I/O to Storage Archive Manager. SAM takes care of writing to primary disk, archive disk and tape based on policy. Keep up to 4 copies local and remote storage. Recommended to always keep two copies on tape but that is better then possible hundreds from monthly full backups. Easy: App does not change. All data appears on-line Lowest cost: Now you can use tape via the storage abstraction layer

When using SAM with Webcenter Content, 100% of the data is available at all times. To the application, all of the files appear online even if they have been released from the disk cache and the only copies available are on an archive tier. The content server is unaware of the actual location of the data. If there is a delayed tape mount, WCC will wait until the media is available. SAM QFS presents the file system as if all data is on primary disk. As data is accessed that is on archive devices only, SAM dynamically stages the data to the primary disk or directly to the application for immediate access.

The lifcycle of content within a content management application take data through revisions, edits, approvals, summarization. At each step, it may be necessary to save that particular copy of the data. When all is complete and the final copy is ‘finished’, that, to a content management person considers the lifecycle complete. The lifecycle of the content to the infrastructure means taking content and protecting it, storing it in proper storage based on access requirements, choosing appropriate ingest storage to meet ingest requirements. Storing it in multiple locations or on multiple tapes for protection. Migrating all content seamlessly through different storage technologies as they change.

StorageTek Data Integrity Validation will protect your data from the time the data leaves an application until if is securely stored on tape. Since the application initially generates the CRC it is an independent verification that the data is still good. This CRC can be checked without transferring the data to the application.
