XIV Solution Architecture
Each logical volume is spread across all drives – Data is “cut” into 1MB “partitions” or “chunks” and
stored on the disks– XIV’s distribution algorithm automatically distributes
partitions across all disks in the system
Even data distribution ensures balanced performance– Completely automated process– No hot spots – even disk utilization– No tuning
Hardware can be added/removed– Performance automatically rebalanced
5

Node 4
Data is automatically redistributed as necessary when hardware changes
If hardware is added (“phased in”), temporary “3rd copy” partitions from all drives are made on the new hardware--and then some partitions from all drives are deletedOnly actual data is copiedAll workloads and hosts automatically receive performance benefit from new hardware

Data is automatically redistributed as necessary when hardware changes
If hardware fails, the “2nd copies” of partitions that were on the failed hardware are used to “rebuild” partitions across all drives that are operational– Writing from all drives to all drives at high priority– Only partitions with data need to be copiedIf hardware is “phased out”, temporary “3rd copy” partitions are created across all drives that will remain in the system– Only partitions with data need to be copied

XIV rebuilds are optimized to exploit system resources dynamically– XIV can rebuild a 6 TB drive in less than one hour on average– Upon detecting I/O idle time, the rebuild technology dynamically uses more
system resources– High reliability and business continuity for your customers’ business

XIV SSD Extended Cache
Secondary read cache for block sizes <=64K
– Transparent extended read cache, not a separate tier • No change to system usable capacity• Zero management, zero tuning• Read misses (not found in primary cache) <=64K will
be added to SSD• Real-time cache algorithm (not policy-based)• Performance improvement begins immediately
– SSD added to each module• Scales with the system – 6 to 15 SSD drives
– 400 GB (2.4TB to 6TB) for all systems– 800 GB (4.8TB to 12TB) for 4TB and 6TB drive systems
• All Gen3 hardware is SSD-ready (simple, non-disruptive field upgrade)– Gen3 only
• Hot swap - can be phased out, tested, replaced and phased in
• No mirroring of data on SSD – data is already redundant
• Enabled at the system level by default

XIV Encryption Overview
Data at rest encrypted by Self-Encrypting Drive (SED)– All drive sizes are now SED – SSD cache is encrypted for end-to-end encryption– Hot encrypt support
• Allows for concurrently encrypting client data– All currently shipping drives are SED
• 2 and 3 TB boxes ordered before Oct 2013 are not SED
XIV software needed to enable encryption - V11.4
External Key server required: – Secure Key Lifecycle Manager (SKLM)
– Standard KMIP v1.0 key management via RPQXIV with encrypting
disks + CPU based SSD encryption
Write encrypted data to the SSD

XIV Quality of Service (QoS) Overview
Optional – to ensure performance for critical applications by limiting performance of lower priority hosts or applications (e.g. Test/Dev) accessing the same XIV system
Up to 500 performance classes limiting IOPs, MBs or both is created
Two type of classes:– Hosts
– Pools/Domains
Maximum IOPs/BW for class is shared among all objects in a class
Objects outside performance classes are not limited by QoS
Immediate, dynamic changes– Movement into/out of a performance class
– Maximum IOPs and/or BW specifications for performance class
An I/O is limited by the maximum limit, not an aggregate

XIV Multi Tenancy Overview
Division of the system's resources into domains– Up to 120 domains can be definedA domain represents a subset of the system's resources
− Users, pools, hosts/clusters, targetsThe domain restricts the resources a user can manageA domain administrator is a user who is associated with a domain
− Restricted to performing operations on objects associated with a specific domain
No visibility between domains− The domain administrator is not informed of resources outside
the domain - these resources are neither displayed on lists, nor are their relevant events or alerts displayed
A user can have a domain administrator role in more than one domainStorage, security, and application administrators, as well as read-only users, retain their right to perform the same operations that they have in a non-domain-based environmentQuality of Service can be set independently for each domain

XIV Compression Overview
14
XIV supports inline, real-time data compression
Main features– Transparent to host
– Uses same RACE technology that is already utilized in Spectrum Virtualize and Storwize family
– Uses XIV grid architecture to balance workload, provide performance and resiliency
– Applied per volume for new volumes and supports in place conversion of existing volumes
– Implemented above the cache so all data in SSD and data being mirrored (sync or async) is compressed
– Comprestimator functionality built into the GUI for ease of use of existing XIV clients
– Administrator has ability to over allocate XIV

Transparent Data Migration via IBM Hyper-Scale Mobility
Online, non-disruptive data mobility between Spectrum Accelerate instances in a manner that is transparent to host applications
Hyper-Scale Mobility facilitates migration by providing access to a volume through multiple storage controllers as a single, multipath volume on the host
The IBM Hyper-Scale Mobility process uses the same mechanism as remote mirroring to synchronize source and destination volumes
