DataCore Virtualization LayerThin Provisioning - Virtual Capacity

Just-in-time Thin Provisioning takes the guesswork out of disk allocation.

Thin Provisioning presents large virtual volumes to applications however, only allocates disk blocks dynamically as the application consumes them.

The software notifies you as the physical space gets depleted so that you may add more drives early enough to meet future demands.

Increase storage utilization and storage management productivity.

Business Continuity (HA) - Synchronous Mirroring

Mirroring

Fail Over

Fail Over

Synchronously mirrors writes between a pair of SANmelody disk servers using iSCSI and/or Fibre Channel connections.

Disk blocks written by the application to a primary volume on one disk server are automatically mirrored in real time to the companion disk server.

In the event of a failure, the companion server takes over with the mirrored volumes.

Both disk servers may actively process I/Os with one handling primary paths for some of the volumes and secondary paths for others.

Combine with Citrix XenMotion for Live Server & Storage Migrations!

⑤ Map Volume

Point-in-time snapshots are generated using copy-on-write technology for selected virtual volumes.

They can be mounted directly by a

backup-server or another system without occupying the application machine.

• Complete Images (CI) • Image Updates (IU) • Source Updates (SU) • Command Line Interface (CLI)

Frequent snapshots provide a convenient means to restore disks to known-good images, such as database checkpoints.

Asynchronous IP Mirroring (AIM)

① Asynchronous IP Mirroring

② Snapshot

③ Mapping

The Asynchronous IP Mirroring (AIM) option replicates selected volumes between a pair of disk servers using native IP connections over long distances.

AIM is often combined with snapshots

and other contingency plans at the remote site to rapidly restore operations should the primary site suffer a catastrophe or a planned outage.

Combine with Citrix WANscaler for optimized replication!

Customer Case Studies


Customer Reference

Customer:Industry: Property ManagementStorage Capacity: 600 GB# of App Servers: 2 XenServers, 7 VMs# of Users:OS: XenServer (Linux)

Challenge: Several DAS Servers were EOL (some well over 5 years old). No budget for a complete refresh.

Solution: Two XenServer 4.0.1 Hosts implement XenMotion around shared SANmelody storage.

Repurposed one of the aging servers as the SANmelody Storage Array.

No one would ever dream of throwing away Exchange because the server became obsolete. So why do it with Storage?

DataCore survives hardware obsolescence!


Storage Best Practices for a Virtual Environment

Build redundancy into the infrastructure not just into a storage array

• Physically separate storage to maximize availability• Ensure redundancy at every level

Leverage Thin Provisioning

• Maximize your capacity!• Drive utilization from <40% to >80%

Separate high-value storage services from the hardware

• Treat hardware as pure utility/infrastructure and extend the value of server virtualization to your SAN.

• Open the doors to virtually any type of storage technology or mix and match based on your business needs.

• Deploy an infrastructure capable of leveraging technology advancements with ease and simplicity.

Deploy a storage strategy (not just a storage array) for your physical & virtual infrastructure


Key Points

ALL DataCore solutions are “Virtual Machine-Ready” right out of the box!
