New Storage Tiers Are Rapidly Growing
7
• Flash: Enables New Storage Architectures
• Flash is 50x – 2,000x faster than HDD
– 110K/140K IOPs R/W from 360GB MLC PCIe card1
– Less than $0.10 per IOP
• Eliminates the need to stripe across 100s of HDDs
• Enables high performance server-side storage
• Cloud: Enables Cost-Effective Storage
• Highly scalable, pay-as-you-go
• Access through standard APIs
• Low cost for capacity
– $0.05 per GB per month2
• Forecasted to grow at 40% annually to 20183

• Sits directly in the

• Global view of

• Hardware agnostic
Today When A VM Needs Storage….
Setting up storage requires:
1. Spreadsheet black-magic
to determine right configs
2. Several additional steps:
• Build disk pools
• Assign RAID levels
• Create LUN/volumes
• Zone and map LUNs
• Format LUN/Volumes
• Assign data services
(Replication, etc.)
Which LUNs
have the right
performance and
availability for
each VM?
Here are
your LUNs.

Virtual SAN is NOT a Virtual Storage Appliance
14
– Virtual SAN is fully integrated with vSphere (ESXi & vCenter)
– Drivers embedded in ESXi 5.5 contain the Virtual SAN smarts
– Kernel modules:
• Provide the shortest path for I/O
• Remove unnecessary management overheads when dealing with an appliance
• Do not consume resources unnecessarily

2. Pre-allocate static bins
3. Expose pre-allocated bins
4. Select appropriate bin
5. Consume from pre-allocated

• Modular infrastructure. Break-Replace Operations

"From a break fix
perspective, I think there's
a huge difference in what
needs to be done when a
piece of hardware fails. I
can have anyone on my
team go back and replace
a 1U or 2U servers. …
essentially modularizing
my datacenter and
delivering a true
Software-Defined
