Storage Underperforms in VM Environments• Very Random, Write intensive I/Os from some VMs

get blended with Sequential, Read Heavy I/Os from other VMs resulting in:o Degraded Storage Performance by 30-50%

• Legacy Soln: Larger, more expensive storage configs created to meet needed IOPs o Storage Capacity wastage

• Other Effectso Poor Thin Provisioning & Snapshots/Cloningo Inefficient VM Management

2 Storage Performance Issues in VZThe VM I/O Blender – A key Culprit

3 Solution: Storage Defined StorageImproves Perf., Mgmt, Cost/Provisioning,Snaps

• Create a storage abstraction layero Do for Storage like Hypervisor for Compute

Virtualizes Storage for Optimum Mgmt.• Unlock the Performance & Wasted Capacity of

Existing Storage by provisioning Storage as fast as VMS can be createdo Improves storage performance by 10xo Improves Thin Provisioning & Snapshotso Reduces capacity consumption up to 90%

• Provide a VM-Centric Management paradigmo VM-Centric Management

• Integrate Seamlessly into existing Hypervisor

SDS is a Programmable Platform


vDataStore Capabilities visible to vCenter

1. At the time vSAN Cluster is created, the capabilities available in vSAN Datastores are read and automatically sent to vCenter

2. vCenter looks at these capabilities available in Datastores and sets VM Storage Policies

3. VM Storage Policies then have the Requirements of the Application running on the VM (Requirements such as Availability, Performance and Provisioning etc.)
