  • 34 Copyright 2011 EMC Corporation. All rights reserved. VNXe File-Level Deduplication and Compression Architecture Deduplication processes: Policy engine scans all production files looking for data that meets certain criteria: Last accessed/modified time, minimum/ maximum size, file extension, directory Or, files selected via API Candidates are compressed Duplicated files are removed by using SHA-1 or byte-by-byte data comparison Stubs point to files in the hidden deduplication store Deduplication is transparent to clients: Process runs in the background Files pre- and post processing look the same Hidden deduplication store is a working area that is not visible Reads decompress data in memory, not on disk Writes are stored alongside deduplicated data Modifying one instance of a file has no impact on other deduplicated instances VNXe FILE DEDUPLICATION Deduplication-enabled file system User visible area Hidden deduplication store File A File B File A File C File B Active file File B File C File A Stub A Stub B Stub C Stub A Stub C Compress and deduplicate file Stub B

User visible areaHidden reduced data store VNXe FILE SYSTEM VNXe File Deduplication and Compression: Data Modification File modification does not cause file to be reinflated: Allows targeting large files (Terabytes sized), and files that may show some level of activity while preserving user experience on access to these files Deduplicated files can be modified while still preserving commonality: New data is stored alongside old File is either reinflated or reprocessed when new+old reaches logical file size: Reinflated if selected for deduplication by the internal policy engine Reprocessed if selected for deduplication via API File Data New Data

  • 36 Copyright 2011 EMC Corporation. All rights reserved. Data Protection
  • Slide 37
  • 37 Copyright 2011 EMC Corporation. All rights reserved. VNXe: Takes Care of the Complexities of Data Protection Problem: Calculating the space required for data protection is complicated. It require formulas and an intimate understanding of underlying snapshot and replication technology. Typical Result: Data Protection either gets slapped together in a probably should work fashion, or a Professional Services engagement is required. VNXe eliminates complexity by: Integrating best practices for provisioning data protection reserve space Easy to configure snapshot schedules and Application Consistent Snapshots Simplified replication configuration and management
  • Slide 38
  • 38 Copyright 2011 EMC Corporation. All rights reserved. VNXe provisioning best practices also cover Data Protection storage Application specific best practices for data protection space. Thin provisioning aware: Applications using thin provisioning will not require as much data protection storage.

  • Slide 40
  • 40 Copyright 2011 EMC Corporation. All rights reserved. Shared Folder snapshots use Copy On first Write (COW) Snapshot creation and deletion is very quick The space required for snapshots continues to grow as changes are made to the production volume iSCSI snapshots use Redirect on Write (ROW) Snapshot creation is very quick Perfect for your latency sensitive applications Snapshots dont grow once created The differences between Shared Folder & iSCSI snapshots

  • 43 Copyright 2011 EMC Corporation. All rights reserved. Snapshots and Application Consistency iSCSI Application consistent snapshots Using 3 rd party backup applications Leverages the VSS framework for Microsoft Applications to create Hardware Snapshots for the application Preferred Solution: Using the Application Protection Suite Application protection Suite includes Replication Manager (RM) software An RM agent runs on the host, which guarantees the applications using the storage are quiesced prior to creating snapshots Leverages the VSS framework for Microsoft Applications For applications with multiple virtual disks, Application Sets ensure consistency across all the storage resources Exchange will automatically undergo snapshot consistency checks following the creation of the snapshot
