Why VNX?  Why SharePoint? –Fastest growing platform in MSFT’s history –Accessible and extensible unified content platform –$2B in 2011, 20,000 seats/DAY!  Why now? –New release (Wave 15) coming in November –67% of customers report rolling out SharePoint to the entire organization  Why EMC VNX and Metalogix? –Unified infrastructure for metadata and BLOBs –FAST Suite for performance & efficiency –Metalogix suite for file share consolidation and flexible end point management Gartner Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Content Management

The Challenge with SharePoint BLOBs PPT PDF XLS DOC TIFF 90-95% unstructured, rest metadata “Typically, as much as 80 percent of data for an enterprise-scale deployment of SharePoint Foundation consists of file-based data streams that are stored as BLOB data. These BLOB objects comprise data associated with SharePoint files. However, maintaining large quantities of BLOB data in a SQL Server database is a suboptimal use of SQL Server resources. You can achieve equal benefit at lower cost with equivalent efficiency by using an external data store to contain BLOB data.” Source: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb802976.aspxhttp://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb802976.aspx Can’t easily or economically scale Asset Utilization SQL Servers BLOBs don’t benefit from SQL query engine. Why are they there? Long backups / long restores Lack of tiered storage = Poor TCO

Virtualizing SharePoint is Essential Consolidation Achieve 2-10x consolidation ratio, especially for larger deployments Performance Improved front end performance with more, smaller WFEs rather than few large WFEs Availability VM based protection for SharePoint provides homogeneous high availability (WSFC, VMware HA) Business Continuity Simplified DR management (Geo-Clustering, vCenter Site Recovery Manager) Maintenance Live migration of virtual machines (Hyper-V Live Migration, VMware vMotion) Load Balancing Maximized overall performance with balanced cross farm HW utilization (SCVMM PRO, VMware DRS)

Three Sources of Savings and Efficiency 1.Better Asset Utilization –File Share typically not well utilized –VNX Utilization ~70% on SAS / NL-SAS and up to 90% on SSD 2.More Efficiency via Flash 1 st –Results in fewer drives, lower energy bills, and lower $/GB –Also lower $/IOPS via FAST Suite 3.Lower SQL licensing via RBS and virtualization –Reduce database size and increase VM density per physical server

Lower SQL Licensing Costs  SQL Server is rarely CPU constrained –For SharePoint the performance bottleneck tends to be the WFE –Idle CPU = Wasted licensing $$  SQL2012 Server Enterprise Licensing: –Physical: per physical core –Virtual: per vCPU (all you can eat per physical core) –No cost difference between a physical core and vCPU  Virtualization = greater VM density and lower SQL licensing costs –Savings determined by vCPU : Core Ratio (e.g. 4:1 ratio =75% savings)  RBS leads to smaller databases –Fewer servers overall with fewer cores / vCPUs to license  Have to weigh against performance / CPU utilization –Perfmon and other tools to help determine the right mix

Recovery Options All depends on the recovery objectives! –Database, Database + BLOBs, Database + BLOBs + Farm –Local vs. Remote –Granularity Methods Used: –Native Microsoft tools including log shipping –Third-party backup products (e.g. Avamar) –Array-based replication (snapshots/clones) Issues with common approach aka native tools –Long and manual restore process (hours to days) Two options that are RBS aware are Metalogix Selective Restore Manager and EMC Replication Manager / VNX Snaps –Reduce restore times down from hours to minutes –Item-level restore –Proper sequence of backup and recovery must be followed
