The Next Generation Storage Infrastructure for Distributed Computing Environments

2. Business Challenge
How do I provide data center best practices to all computing environments?
Best Practice Data Center Edge
1. Remote disaster recovery YES NO
2. Applications run while backup completes YES NO
3. Recovery from disk YES NO
4. Parallel information access YES NO
5. Centralized management YES NO
YES
The combined effects of the exploding rate of information growth and the increasing value of information as a corporate asset require a best practices approach to the management and protection of information. We see the almost universal need to protect and share information while providing continuous service to customers. How have businesses kept applications running while ensuring effective information management and protection?
In the data center, EMC is recognized for providing world-class information protection, management, and sharing tools that meet today’s business challenges. As we can see by our list of best practices, the data center has already implemented remote disaster recovery and high-speed recovery from disk, eliminated application unavailability due to backup windows, and has central management for greater control and efficiency.
But what about the distributed computing centers. These environments do not benefit from the comprehensive best practices tools found in the data center. These tools were either not available for this environment or the smaller computing center could not justify the investment of data center size tools.
A business challenge we face is how to remove the risks associated with the distributed computing computing environment. These distributed environments are proliferating and support applications and processes critical to the company’s core business. There is an urgent need to establish best practices in these environments to manage risk and sustain the business. In other words, a key business challenge is how to provide data center best practices to all computing environments.

7. CLARiiON FC4700 System Hardware THE CLARiiON ARCHITECTURE IS BASED ON DUAL STORAGE PROCESSORS
Each CLARiiON FC4700 storage processor has the following:
Two Intel 733MHz Pentium III processors
Runs more software, faster
Two front-end Fibre Channel ports with optical GBICs
More connectivity to more hosts—switched or arbitrated loop
Redundant backend FC-AL loops
Greater redundancy and greater throughput
1GB of RAMBUS memory
Improved system response time
A major advancement in the CLARiiON FC4700 is its storage processors. As you can see, the FC4700 storage processor is a high-performance component using dual Intel Pentium III processors, which means that more data can be processed faster, and that there is power to run the FC4700’s array-based software, SnapView and MirrorView.
Other high-performance features include more connectivity and throughput through two Fibre Channel paths per storage processor, giving a maximum bandwidth of 400MB/sec for the CLARiiON FC4700.
This is matched on the back end, or disk drive side, of the CLARiiON FC4700 as each storage processor has redundant Fibre Channel loops to the dual-ported Fibre Channel disk drives.
To keep pace with the CLARiiON FC4700’s high speed processors, Rambus technology is incorporated to deliver 10 times the the internal memory performance of conventional DRAMs.

11. CLARiiON FC4700 NON-DISRUPTIVE UPGRADES
A new level of information availability for continued operation
Both the CLARiiON FC4700 and all host-attached servers remain fully operational during system level or maintenance upgrade procedures
Application software
FC4700 core code
Totally transparent to all array-attached hosts
What performance characteristic is most important today? Many EMC customers tell us that it is continuous operation.
Almost all high availability storage systems offer protection against system and hardware failures, but what about enhancements, system upgrades, and bug fixes? With most systems, these are the source of downtime when the system must be taken out of service.
Non-Disruptive Upgrade (NDU) functionality has been designed into the CLARiiON FC NDU is a sequence of operations that allows you to add or change array software. This includes adding SnapView or MirrorView, upgrading their value-added functionality, or performing upgrades to the FC4700’s core code.
Non-Disruptive Upgrade capabilities provide the security and protection of a truly seamless environment while system maintenance and downtime become a phenomenon of the past.

12. Access Logix VOLUME ACCESS CONTROL
Servers
EMC Access Logix is a software product for CLARiiON storage arrays
Access Logix ensures only authorized servers have access to specific volumes (LUNs)
Storage-based product uses no host cycles
Transparent to server, operating system, and applications
Centralized, simplified management via EMC Navisphere
Access Logix protects data from unauthorized access
Servers can access only authorized volumes
Access control is maintained once on the CLARiiON array rather than on every attached server
Volumes can be shared by server cluster pairs
Switches
Access Logix ensures that servers receive appropriate volume access. Fibre Channel allows multiple servers to share a single storage port. In fact, this Fibre Channel feature permits storage consolidation. Access Logix’s volume access control enforces strict access rules on these shared storage ports.
Notice that Access Logix protects volume access at the storage level. This means that storage administrators control access from a single point, the CLARiiON, rather than having to control access at every server. Additionally, storage-based Access Logix applies consistent access control transparent to the application, server platform type, and operating system. In other words, the server only sees storage to which it has access.
Typically, each server would have access only to its own disk volumes. Clustered servers are also supported by Access Logix. A server cluster group (two or more clustered servers) can all have access to the same volume. The cluster software would ensure that, at any point in time, the appropriate server would control the disk volume.
Finally, Access Logix is controlled from the same Navisphere console for simplified, consolidated information management.

13. EMC SnapView PARALLEL INFORMATION ACCESS
CLARiiON FC4700
Snapshot
SNAP
Production

Logical point-in-time view
SnapView is a software product for the CLARiiON FC4700
SnapView creates logical point-in-time views of production information
Storage-based product uses no host cycles
Takes only seconds to create a complete snapshot
Snapshots can be created requiring only a fraction of the original file system space
Snapshot allows parallel access to production data
Are read/write mountable by a secondary host for increased productivity
Minimizes time that production data is unavailable to users
Eliminates scheduled downtime for backups
Enables more frequent data warehouse refreshes
SnapView is a software product that runs on the EMC CLARiiON FC4700. Storage-based software, such as SnapView, has several advantages over host-based products. Since SnapView executes on the storage system, no host processing cycles are spent managing information. Storage-based software preserves your host CPU cycles for your business information processing and offloads information management to the storage system, in this case the CLARiiON FC4700. Additionally, storage-based SnapView provides the advantage of being a singular, complete solution that provides consistent functionality to all CLARiiON FC4700- connected server platforms.
EMC SnapView allows companies to make more effective use of their most valuable resource, information, by enabling parallel information access. Instead of traditional sequential information access that force applications to queue for information access, SnapView allows multiple business processes to have concurrent, parallel access to information.
SnapView creates logical point-in-time views of production information. Using only a fraction of the original filesystem, SnapView creates an additional view called a snapshot. Multiple snapshots can be created to suit the needs of multiple business processes. Servers see the snapshot as an additional mountable disk volume (or LUN). Servers mounting a snapshot have full read/write capabilities on that data.
A SnapView snapshot is not a copy of your information, it is a logical view of the original information based on the time the snapshot was created. A snapshot can be created in seconds and can be retired when no longer needed.

14. Using SnapView for Parallel Operations
Concurrent backups
Decision support systems
Management reports
Data warehouse loads or updates
Application testing against logical view of production data
Complete daily batch routines during production periods
File maintenance and other housekeeping tasks
Because SnapView is readable and writeable, it can be used to save valuable time by running processes in parallel. Activities which could be run in parallel with production include:
Backup of volumes
Decision support systems and their associated queries
Simple management reports
Data warehouse loads or extractions from data warehouses to data marts
Application testing against a logical view of production data
Batch routines required for completion before the next online day
File maintenance and other “housekeeping” tasks within IT
Note to Presenter: Discuss with customer where parallel access to information would be a critical advantage to their organization.

15. Example: Using SnapView for Backups

Production

Host
Backup
Unit
Quiesce application if required
Establish SnapView instance containing the backup image
Created within seconds
Production application continues
Execute backups from the snapshot while production processing continues
Once backup is complete, retire the snapshot
Here is one example of using SnapView. This process is for completing regular backups to tape storage while keeping production servers online.
Step 1—Quiesce the application if required. Alternatively, the user can ensure that no more updates are inbound to the disk before it takes a point-in-time copy of the logical volume.
Step 2—Use the SnapView user interface, or more likely the script containing SnapView API, to create a snapshot of the filesystem. Since SnapView creates a logical view of the filesystem, establishing a snapshot will only take a few seconds. This snapshot will become the backup image of the filesystem.
Step 3—Bring the production application back online. Remember that it was only dormant for the quiesce and several seconds to create the snapshot.
Step 4—Your snapshot is now mountable by the backup host. The actual backup will occur while production continues on the production server. The point-in-time instance of the snapshot is maintained by SnapView so the backup image is protected from production writes. The backup server reads the snapshot as the backup image and writes this point-in-time to tape.
Step 5—The backup is complete. Retire the snapshot containing the backup image.
Look at the advantages of using a SnapView snapshot. First, the application server is offline only for the quiesce and the few seconds it takes SnapView to create a snapshot. Backups now occur in parallel with production and have all day, if necessary, to complete. The little disk space required by the snapshot is released as soon as the backup is finished.

16. EMC MirrorView REMOTE DISASTER RECOVERY
EMC MirrorView is a software product for the CLARiiON FC4700
MirrorView maintains synchronous remote mirroring between two CLARiiON FC4700 arrays
Storage-based product uses no host cycles
Transparent to server, operating system, and applications
Centralized, simplified management via EMC Navisphere

MirrorView is a storage-based application that resides on the CLARiiON FC4700. It provides an online, host-independent, mirrored data storage and protection solution that duplicates production site data (primary) to a secondary site (secondary) in a campus environment.
The mirroring is synchronous, which means that every time a host writes to the primary array, the secondary array mirrors the write before an acknowledgement is returned to the host. MirrorView ensures that there is an exact byte-for-byte copy at both the local CLARiiON and the remote CLARiiON. And, MirrorView is storage-based software so no host CPU cycles are used in any way. This allows MirrorView to operate in the background, transparent to any hosts or applications, and is able to provide the same information protection services to all server platforms and operating systems that connect to the CLARiiON FC4700.
Finally, MirrorView is managed from within Navisphere management software. That means that the same user-friendly Windows-like interface is common among all the CLARiiON software products, which minimizes learning curves and reduces training costs.

This image depicts a standard MirrorView architecture. There is a primary and secondary CLARiiON FC4700 array that are connected directly to each other via a dark fibre cable using Fibre Channel protocol. There is one connection from the CLARiiON storage processor A to storage processor A on the secondary array, and from storage processor B to storage processor B on the secondary array, allowing for complete path failover.
This particular configuration is limited to 500 meters, but with the addition of four Finisar extenders, MirrorView can be deployed for solutions as far as 10 kilometers.
MirrorView is bi-directional. This means that production information from one CLARiiON can be protected on the other while the second CLARiiON is being protected by the first. In the image, we see that Site A and Site B are being protected bi-directionally.

18. MirrorView and SnapView
Production Host (Site A)
Secondary Host (Site B)

MirrorView mirror
Production site is protected from disaster
Secondary site has standby failover server
Secondary site offloads information processing
MirrorView is fully integrated with EMC SnapView, the CLARiiON host-based software that creates consistent point-in-time copies for remote location snapshots.
Once the mirror is running on the secondary array, it is mountable by SnapView to create point- in-time copies for decision support, backups, or application testing.
In this scenario, MirrorView is being used to provide a remote site for failover protection. However, the secondary site’s array does not need to be dedicated to the mirroring process. It can function as the main array for another group of hot hosts. It can also be the main backup location for both arrays. With SnapView installed on the secondary array, you can mirror from the primary and take a snapshot of the mirrored data to use for online backups, data mart refreshes, decision support tools, and report generation.
This offloads the maintenance functions from the primary array, while also offering a perfect failover solution.
MirrorView and SnapView for the CLARiiON FC4700 are tightly integrated. Because they are both managed from within Navisphere, they offer administrators a fast and efficient way to manage all mirror and snapshot activity on any array that resides on the SAN, no matter where they are physically located—in the same building or across town.

Note to Presenter: This is an optional technical slide.
Basic design—The CLARiiON FC4700 system is designed to provide % availability with no identifiable single points of failure. The system consists of two storage processor boards, dual mirrored write caches, four 100MB/sec Fibre Channel front-end connections, and two redundant FC-AL loops for disk I/O. The CLARiiON FC4700 storage processors are based on proven EMC CLARiiON modular building architecture Disk Processor Enclosure (DPE) technology.
Power and cooling—Each CLARiiON FC4700 DPE has dual, hot-swappable, load-sharing power supplies. Only one supply is required to run the entire system should one fail. Redundant, hot swappable cooling is also standard.
Storage processor complex—The CLARiiON FC4700 uses a dual storage processor complex for system I/O and disk I/O. Mirrored write cache is configured on each processor complex providing protection should one or both of the processors fail. The cache memory uses temporary battery power in case the main power completely fails. Each of the two storage processor complexes has three Fibre Channel controllers. Two are used for disk I/O and the other for the CLARiiON Messaging Interface (CMI) is used for communications between the two processor complexes. The CMI’s primary job is to pass data to be mirrored in the write caches between storage processors. The front-end ports utilize full Fibre Channel HBAs for CLARiiON- to-server I/O.
DPE Disk Group—The base CLARiiON FC4700 includes a single group of 10 disks. Each 10- drive shelf can be configured as desired (RAID-level protection). A small portion of nine drives is used as a“vault” to hold the contents of the mirrored cache in the event of a total power and or cooling failure. The tenth drive is used as a global hot spare.
Disk Array Enclosures (DAEs)—Additional 10-disk shelves may be added to increase the capacity of the CLARiiONFC4700. These additional DAEs are standard CLARiiON modular architecture DAE units and can be redeployed in a CLARiiON disk array if desired.
Up to 100 disks
