Virtual SAN Puts The App In ChargeApp-centric Automation Drives Agility and QoS
App-centric Automation
• Dynamic delivery of storage service levels when needed
• Fine control of data services at the VM level
• Common management across heterogeneous devices
Rapid provisioning
No overprovisioning of
resources
QoS automation
Simple change management
Today
• Static pre-allocation of shared storage container (LUN)
• Data services tied to storage container
• Vendor specific management
✖ Long provisioning cycles
✖ Overprovisioning of resources
Today’s Infrastructure-centric Model
✖ Management complexity
✖ Frequent data migrations

ADOPTING CHANGE
JANUARY 2007
26
SEPTEMBER 2007 STEVE BALLMER
“Five hundred dollars? Fully subsidized? With a plan?” Ballmer chuckles in the way that
only Ballmer chuckles. “That is the most expensive phone in the world. And it doesn’t
appeal to business customers because it doesn’t have a keyboard, which makes it not a very good email machine.”
Yet in 2014, 1.75 Billion
people worldwide uses a
smartphone with touch
screen.
27
STORAGE IS CHANGING
Over the last years storage solutions are shifting into more performant,
economic, flexible and reliable solutions
Physical server methods does not apply for virtual servers, this also applies for
storage! VSAN is aimed at virtual machines
VSAN is the future for storage for application centric virtual machines
28
SERVICE PROVIDER CHALLENGES
COST CHALLENGE
Traditional storage have high entry costs for similar performance
Traditional storage upgrades only purchased in large increments –higher capex
Traditional storage can outgrow the controllers
30
WHY VSAN LOWERED OUR TCO
CAPEX▪ Server-side economics▪ Low Upfront Investment▪ Granular Scaling▪ Leverage Storage Hardware Cost
Trend▪ Higher Resource Utilization▪ Linear & Predictable Cost Curve
Price of storage components lower compared to full array(s) –
1 SSD + 7 nl-sas or SAS disks per server
Storage controller
OPEX
• Higher Admin Productivity
• Simpler Budgeting
• No Specialized Skillset
• VSAN is available vCloud Air Network Pricing (0.08 point per GB per month for allocated capacity)
31
OUR OPERATIONAL CHALLENGE Traditional storage arrays are more complex and will need dedicated specialized staff
Traditional storage solutions are aligned to storage containers (LUN, volumes), not directly with VM needs
Traditional storage replications and snapshots are LUN based not VM based
Storage efficiency is within storage subsystem and not the VMware datastores
Expanding storage arrays could have risk (different firmware on disks, expansion units
etc) which could cause downtime
32
VSAN SIMPLIFIES OPERATIONS
VSAN provides single tier
1 management layer (vCenter), no need to manage LUNs and volumes
Snapshots and replication per VM
Fast VM centric provisioning based on VM policies
Different storage policies for VM’s depending on catalog
Native integration with other VMware products like Operations Manager and
vCloud Director
33
OUR RELIABILITY CHALLENGE
Controller failures
Operational Complexity
RAID technology and rebuild times or even worst multiple disk failure
Traditional storage is designed not to fail, BUT when it fails… oh Boy…
34
VSAN INCREASES RELIABILITY
Scale out removes traditional controllers as point of failure
Design for failure is a far better concept
Scale out is perfect for service providers, buy when you need without decreasing
performance
Reliability policy per VM base rather than LUN
No more LUN rebuild time
35
OUR SCALABILITY CHALLENGE
Large increment storage upgrades
Possible outages during storage upgrade FW levels expansion units, disks, controllers etc
Human error
LUN expansion - extends
Outgrow controllers
Different vendor / models complexity in future expansion
36
VSAN, THE IDEAL SCALABLE SOLUTION
Scale out by adding new servers increases; CPU, Memory, Performance and
capacity
Controller performance is linear. More power needed more nodes installed
If we would need more performance we can use larger SSD in new nodes
Using auto deploy for new hosts to expand existing cluster minimizes human error
37
OUR JOURNEY
OUR JOURNEY SO FAR Founded in April 2014, based on VMworld and PEX visit in 2013 and 2014 on the back
of VSAN announcement
Spring 2014 is used for due diligence on vCloud with VSAN components
