Lenovo platform alert management includes all hardware subsystems

• Alerts, errors reported to XClarity, LXCI for Prism app

• Without XClarity in a Nutanix cluster, Prism alerts limited to OS events and not captured if OS is unavailable

Several Lenovo alerts leverage Lenovo IP: Advanced algorithms to prevent downtime

• Live PCI error recovery

Two Options for WSSD Solutions (Storage Spaces Direct)

1. Hyper-Converged: every node of the cluster offers Storage resources to share and compute to run the Virtual Machines that host the OS and Applications.

2. Disaggregated: one scale-out server cluster for the Software Defined Storage and one compute-heavy server cluster for running the VMs

As stand-alone solution, S2D:

• It is a feature at no additional cost of Windows Server 2016 Datacenter edition

• It allows implementations in two possible flavours

S2D is also a key component of the Azure Stack SW

• It’s included in the Azure Stack price model: no need to buy a WS2016 license

• Implemented in the Hyper-convergent flavor

Definitions of Object, Block, and File Storage

Object Storage

▪ Storage system manages data as

objects

▪ Includes the data itself, a variable

amount of metadata, and a

globally unique identifier

▪ Allows affordable, scalable, and

self-healing retention of massive

amounts of unstructured data

▪ Examples: Static data sharing:

Medical and educational records,

photos, videos, or files in online

collaboration services

Block Storage

▪ Storage system manages data

as small chunks called blocks

▪ Each block assigned address

▪ High performance

▪ High function (dedupe,

compression)

▪ Runs on Fibre Channel or IP

(iSCSI)

▪ SAN refers to systems providing

block services

▪ Examples: Transactional,

database, email

▪ Storage system manages data as

a file hierarchy

▪ Includes a file system and

exports files and directories to

clients by combining logical

blocks of data

▪ Metadata assigned to files

▪ Runs on an IP network with file

protocols (NFS, CIFS, SMB)

▪ NAS refers to systems providing

file services

▪ Simpler to manage than blocks

▪ Examples: large data file storing

and sharing
