SANPoint Foundation Suite Applications

eBusiness Infrastructure Web applications ISP, XSP, hosting Content servers Enterprise Applications Billing systems Proprietary data processing DSS/DW Databases Single instance File Servers General purpose file serving

eBusiness Infrastructure Business Problems eBusinesses require rapid deployment and provisioning of applications: Capacity on demand business models CNN Election Night Administrative costs high Moving data Maintaining software images Stale data, content, binaries Application load balancing

eBusiness Infrastructure Solutions SANPoint Foundation Suite provides a data virtualization layer that meets eBusiness needs. Dyanamic QOS requirements SLA’s Quick and non-disruptive migration Data Storage Lower admin costs Don’t move data Don’t install SW Simple load balancing

eBusiness Infrastructure Solutions Manageability due to flexible deployment of multiple apps and customers in common infrastructure. Simplified Less costly Reduce data movement Content management File sharing

Web Servers (Read-mostly) Standard shared nothing operation: Web database is replicated on two disks - one for each web server Double the disk space; regular copy operations required Alternative - NFS server CFS operation: No web database replication required Save disk space; no synchronization problems No NFS server required Web Data Web Server ServerServer Web Data Web Server Web Data Web Server ServerServer

Messaging Solutions Partitioned operation: Flat files Manually partitioned data Load balancing difficult SANPoint Foundation Suite Single data repository Any to any connection External load balancing Optimized server usage Server Server A-Z Data Server Server Server Server Server Server N-S Data T-Z Data G-M Data A-F Data Server Server Server Server Server Server Server Server

Enterprise Applications Batch processing Proprietary apps DW/DSS Billing Simplified data access architecture for operational efficiency Less everything (network, servers, storage, people) Less complex, therefore more manageable Test, data movement, pilot

Simplifying Load Balancing Today’s configuration: Partitioned data Difficult to manage Difficult to load balance SANPoint Foundation Suite Partitioning separated from file system configuration Cluster can grow to multiple servers easily Simple to manage and load balance A-M ServerServer N-Z Data Server A-Z Data Server ServerServer Application Servers

Billing and Telco Processing Single writer, multiple reader systems: Many applications have simple partitioning solutions SANPoint Foundation Suite simplifies today’s complex implementations Data Transaction Server Server Billing Server Server Analysis Server Server Incoming Transactions Billing Data

Off-Host Processing Multiple mirrors must be used today for off-host processing Requires 2+ times storage capacity Data Database Server Server Database Server Server Database Server Server Incoming Transactions Data Warehouse Extraction Data Daily Mirror Hourly Mirror CRM File System
