# Copyright 2012 EMC Corporation. All rights reserved. Takeaway: VNX was designed for use in virtualized application deployments. The system, using FAST Cache and FAST VP, is dynamically adaptable to handle the variable loads associated with a virtualized environment.

The VNX series platform is optimized for virtualization with over 50 points of tight integration.Until today, one of the major challenges facing users in virtual environments was a management complexity gap. Storage administrators have access to detailed information on the array, but lack visibility into how the virtual server is configured and which virtual machines are consuming what for storage resources. VMware administrators, on the other hand, can see the details of the virtual server environment and virtual machines, but lack visibility into the storage system. On VNX series, Unisphere together with vCenter Server integration makes storage management in a virtualized environment a seamless experience. Each administrator can use their familiar interface to gain full visibility into virtual and physical resources, transparently provision storage, integrate replication, and access and offload all storage functions to the storage system. To further drive efficiency in the VMware space, EMC has delivered on the VMware vStorage APIs for Array Integration (VAAI), allowing the VNX series is be fully optimized for virtualized environments. This technology offloads VMware storage-related functions from the server to the storage system, enabling more efficient use of server and network resources for increased performance and consolidation.Letting the VNX series perform common data management tasks, like vMotion, result in:10-times network I/O10-times more virtual machines10-times faster response timeThe VNX series delivers unmatched VMware management integration and optimization and is ideal if you are running VMware. #TITLEMonth Year

90-95% unstructured, rest metadataTypically, 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.

# Copyright 2012 EMC Corporation. All rights reserved. The VNX series has been expressly designed to take advantage of the latest innovation in Flash drive technology, maximizing the storage systems performance and efficiency while minimizing cost per GB. When even a few Flash drives are combined with the EMC FAST Suitean unrivaled set of software that tiers data across heterogeneous drives and boosts the most active data to cache, customers receive the optimal benefits of a FLASH 1st strategy.FLASH 1st, available only through EMC, ensures customers never have to make concessions for cost or performance. (Note to Presenter: Click now in Slide Show mode for animation.) Highly active data is served from up to 2 TB of Flash drives with FAST Cache, which dynamically absorbs unpredicted spikes in system workloads. Note to Presenter: Click now in Slide Show mode for animation. As that data ages and becomes less active over time, FAST VP tiers the data from high-performance to high-capacity drives in 1 GB increments, resulting in overall lower costsregardless of application type or data age. Best of all, this all happens automatically based on customer-defined policies, which saves application and storage administrators time and money by intelligently doing the work associated with pre- and post-provisioning tasks.

High-capacity HDD# Copyright 2012 EMC Corporation. All rights reserved. The FAST Suite improves performance and maximizes storage efficiency by deploying this FLASH 1st strategy. FAST Cache, an extendable cache of up to 2.1 TB, gives a real-time performance boost by ensuring the hottest data is served from the highest-performing Flash drives for as long as needed. FAST VP then complements FAST Cache by optimizing storage pools on a regular, scheduled basis. Customers define how and when data is tiered using policies that dynamically move the most active data to high-performance drives (e.g., Flash), and less active data to high-capacity drives, all in one-gigabyte increments for both block and file data. Together, they automatically optimize for the highest system performance and the lowest storage cost simultaneously. In addition, the FAST Suite includes Unisphere Quality of Service Manager and Unisphere Analyzer. Unisphere Quality of Service Manager provides even greater flexibility to tune the system by allowing specific controller resource adjustments to be dynamically applied to specific workloads (LUNs) as those workloads change throughout the day. Unisphere Analyzer is a powerful tool integrated to Unisphere which allows detailed statistics to be gathered for the VNX system to enable troubleshooting.#TITLEMonth YearVNX FAST Cache boosts SQL2012DataDiskRAIDFCOLTP DB Files600K SAS5ONTempDBs600K SAS1/0OFFDB Logs600K SAS1/0OFFFAST Cache: 14 x 100GB SSDsWorking Set < FAST Cache

Company Challenges: Creating cost-effective SAP virtualization Virtual end user computing cloud services

EMC Solution & Important Benefits to Customer: EMC VNX, EMC Data Domain, Cisco Technologies, VMware, VMware ViewQuick virtualization of SAP for SaaS business modelsIncreased security to enable companies to meet local data protection lawsAbility to meet Big Data challenges with scalability and future-proofing Exceptional deduplication to minimize backup windows while maximizing data storage utilizationSupport for entrepreneurs cloud, SaaS, and ITaaS opportunities

Results: Performance increased by 100 percent compared to iSCSIAbility to easily handle boot storms for 40,000 projected users Doubled performance for virtualized SAP compared to iSCSI

Quotes: Combining EMC VNX, VMware, and Cisco technologies is a great solution. We used Fibre Channel with EMC VNX and found that the performance increased by 100 percent compared to iSCSI. Due to it high performance, VNX was the only product that would make the virtualized SAP offering attractive, particularly compared to the competition. Using VNX, we were able to take the SAP SaaS solution to the market.- Reinhard Wachmann, CEO We were worried about performance due to such large boot storms, but our tests so far indicate that VMware View working with EMX VNX provides the performance and data availability that we need to manage large, simultaneous desktop bootups.- Reinhard Wachmann, CEO VMware makes SAP virtualization very straightforward. We can now quickly create SAP virtual machines that are appropriate to the needs of our cloud-based SaaS customers. Technicians can provision those machines to meet exact requirements including storage, IOPS, and memory.- Reinhard Wachmann, CEO

ESI provides the ability to provision storage for Windows (block and file), Hyper-V and SharePoint environments with support for other applications in future releases. It supports EMC VMAX, VMAXe, VNX, VNXe and CX4 platforms.Most importantly, ESI has an agentless architecture.ESI for Windows provides storage viewing and provisioning capabilities. As part of the viewing capability, it displays Windows to Storage resource mapping. In addition, as part of Storage provisioning, ESI simplifies the steps of creating a LUN, preparing the LUN through the steps of partitioning, and formatting and creation of a Drive Letter. ESI also includes a wizard for creating a File Share and to mount the share to a Windows environment.In V1.3, ESI adds support for Hyper-V and Powershell commandlets and adds new enhancements for existing SharePoint support. Microsoft Exchange and SQL support will be supported in the future, as will support for VMware.
