Storage Virtualisation

definition: Separation of the logical view of storagefrom its physical implementation, enabling physicalchanges to be made without changing the logical view.

Block Aggregation : IBM Plan

SAN

Servers are mapped to specific physical disksi.e., "physical mapping"

SANs Today

StorageNetwork

Servers are mapped to a virtual diski.e., "logical mapping"

Each node is an xSeries eServer with up to 4GBRead/Write Cache, mirrored across the pair

Redundant, modular, scalable, complete solution

Managed Disks



The pool of managed disks is controlled by a cluster of paired nodes (up to 4 pairs initially, scaling higher in future)



Single point for copy services

Synchronous remote copy Point in time copy to a full target Data migration

Use these to implement critical capabilities:

Disaster recovery "LAN free backup" "Server free backup" Non-disruptive replacement

Can you really do virtualization without virtual copy services?

Common Platform for Advanced Functions

Increase Storage Administrator Productivity Administrator can manage, add and migrate physical disks transparently from applicat

ion Servers (i.e., servers are "insulated" from physical assets) A single point of control, administration, planning, and security

Provide a Common Platform for Advanced Functions Disaster Recovery can be done at a single point in the SAN, in a

common way Same is true for Flashcopy, Peer to Peer copy, Data migration

Improve Capacity Utilization Spare capacity on managed disks can be reallocated transparently and dynamically -- i

rrespective of server operating system/platform type Reuse retired database capacity and reutilize older storage enclosures

Value Proposition of Block Level Virtualization

New open standards and software will enable resource sharing and collaboration over the Internet
