Manual Invocation

Active – Passive Data Access

Traditional industry-standard approach to DR

Host/App/Array Replication

Information read / write accessible only from one instance at a time

Upon failure, data available at second instance (zero RPO)

Infrastructure in second instance is typically underutilized

Failover and application restart is a manual process

Array Replication

VPLEX Distributed Storage Access

Provides shared storage, simultaneously read and write accessible, across array boundaries

Supported by nearly all open systems application clustering technologies

Enhances High Availability and Disaster Recovery design and operations

Enables 100% storage availability

Active-Active Data Access Enabled by Distributed Virtual Volumes

Profile


Software-defined distributed shared storage

EMC ScaleIO

Software that creates a server-based SAN from local storage to deliver performance and capacity on demand

Creates virtual pool of storage with varying performance tiers

Media-agnostic: Leverages any HDDs, SSDs, & PCIe flash cards

Server-agnostic: Installed on existing physical & virtual app servers


ScaleIO Turns DAS Into A Server SAN

Performance—massive I/O parallelism

Elastic—add/remove servers & capacity “on the fly”

Convergence of storage and compute

Scale-out to thousands of servers


Simplify Your Data Center Architecture

Convergence

Converge storage and compute resources into a single-layer architecture

Aggregate capacity and I/O performance

Make storage as ubiquitous as CPU & RAM

Consolidate storage and applications onto x86 and ARM hardware

Servers

Converged

Architecture


Scalability

Massively scale to thousands of nodes

Add storage devices and servers modularly to increase capacity and performance

No capacity planning required

Storage growth always automatically aligned with application needs


Elasticity

Dynamically add, move, remove storage and compute resources “on the fly” with no downtime

Leverage mixed: – Server brands

– Configurations

– OS platforms (physical & virtual)

– Media types


Massive I/O Parallelism

Performance

I/O processing load shared among all servers

Automatic rebuild & rebalance

Autonomous management of performance hot spots and data layout

Storage tiering

Eliminate I/O bottlenecks
