Data growth and Data aging Warm moderately active ~ 35% Cold inactive ~ 50% Hot active ~ 15%

Storage-sizing based on HDD Customer requirement: 150TB Tier-1 Storage 40.000 IOPS Because: Offloading old and cold data will free up capacity but you still need the same amount of Disks to meet the IO performance requirements! Cold data doesn’t need any disk performance! Flash Cache Flash Pool Should you offload cold data? ….. ….. 240 Disks It depends, but probably not! 312 Disks 144 Disks 312 Disks x 900 GB SAS = 250TB usable 282 Disks x 150 IOPS / Disk = 42.300 IOPS 240 Disks x 900 GB SAS = 180TB usable 144 Disk x 6 TB SATA = 700TB usable

Safe 50% Capacity and still overachieve IO requirements! Storage-sizing based on SSD Customer requirement: 150TB Tier-1 Storage 40.000 IOPS Because: Offloading old and cold data will reduce the primary storage capacity and you still overachieve the IO performance requirements! Cold data can be stored on low cost storage and doesn’t need IO performance anyway! DataOptimizer Should we offload cold Data? ….. 24 Disks YES!!! ….. 48 Disks 144 Disks Safe 50% Capacity and still overachieve IO requirements! 24 Disk x 3,8 TB SSD = 80TB usable 48 Disk x 3,8 TB SSD = 160TB usable 144 Disk x 6 TB SATA = 700TB usable

Tiering within the Storage System Customer requirement: 150TB Tier-1 Storage 40.000 IOPS Migrate old and cold data from the performance aggregates to capacity aggregates! Because data is aging!!!! hot today hot today cold tomorrow DataOptimizer ….. 24 Disks ….. 144 Disks Data Aggregat 0 cold tomorrow Data Aggregat 1

Storage-Sizing / Upgrade No Capacity Upgrade at primary Storage! cold inactive ~ 50% Flash Cache warm moderately acive ~ 35% Flash Pool Data grow Data grow hot active ~ 15% Data grow DataAnalyzer Disk Upgrade?

Transparent Data Tiering No Capacity Upgrade at primary Storage! Offload old and cold Data! DataOptimizer

Easy installation DataOptimizer Software Solution Windows Server VMware HA copy Primary Secondary move stubbing SATA

Transparent Data Access Classifyng files to be moved (tiered) 1 Copying classified files 2 Replacing original file with stub file 3 Accessing stubbed files through primary storage 4 1 4 5 Providing file to application / user with “pass through read” 5 2 SATA 3

Transparent to User and Application 1,24 MB 4 kB View on Win10 Client

DataOptimizer Software

Features / Benefits NetApp to NetApp policy based file tiering. Transparent: User / App. access data exactly in the same way. No changes on applications are needed. Move data from SSD to low cost SATA or cloud. Stubbing on primary storage and „path-through“ data access. Multitenancy by separated “StorageVaults”. Standardized formats and protocols (UDF, RESTful, HTTP, …). Support for CIFS and NFS configurations. Support for ONTAP 7-Mode and Cluster-Mode (cDOT). Low latency: Data caching Optimized handling of FPolicy requests Mimimized protocol overhead

In MetroCluster Environments Summary DataOptimizer Flash is now!!! 50% old and cold But still too expensive for old and cold data! on-premise low cost SATA save 2.050,- € / TB Reduce backup restore time! save 4.600,- € / TB In MetroCluster Environments Transparent to users and applications

DataOptimizer vs FabricPool   ProLion DataOptimizer NetApp FabricPool Support for ONTAP 7.x, 8.x, 9.x Support for 7-Mode and CDOT YES No only ONTAP 9.2 or higher Support for CIFS Protocol No S3 only offload "cold" file-content No SnapShots only Offload data from NetApp MetroCluster No MetroCluster not supported Support for file migration (copy to destination / delete file on source) No Supports NetApp FAS systems as destination storage Granular configurable policies based on file-types, -age, -size, etc. Transparent user access to archived data
