FAS9x0 Versus FAS3000
USE SIZERS!!!
For example:
– Though the FAS3100 series has a newer,
faster CPU, the FAS900 has more memory

What is SAS?
―Serial-attached SCSI (SAS) is the logical evolution
of SCSI that satisfies the enterprise data center
requirement for scalability, performance, reliability
and manageability, while leveraging a common
electrical and physical interface with Serial ATA
(SATA). This compatibility provides users with
unprecedented choices for server and storage
subsystem deployment.‖

How are SAS and FC Similar?
SAS disks are mechanically the same as FC
disks except for the drive interface
– Same magnetic, mechanical, electronic, and
microcode technologies
– Same rotational speeds – Same reliability

Rotational Speed 15,000 rpm 15,000 rpm

Target SAS Usage
SAS versus SATA provides: – Higher performance
– Higher IOPS with faster response times
– Higher IOPS performance required by small random
read intensive application workloads Typical of Microsoft Exchange and OLTP
SAS and FC drives are priced the same initially
– Comparable performance and reliability same price – Over time, higher production volumes should enable
SAS drive prices to be lower than FC
– FC drives will be gradually phased out by drive
manufacturers

What is SATA?
Serial – ATA
– Serial Advanced Technology Attachment
Enhanced parallel ATA
– Faster transfer speeds (150 Mbps +) – Thin cable connections (7-pin)
Primary SATA storage is
– A storage hardware option for controllers
– Intended for primary applications
– Intended to better match application storage
requirements with solution costs

Primary SATA Storage
Target markets – Latency-insensitive primary applications!!!
Home directories
Data warehouses
– Instances where customer primary applications do not
require peak storage performance (this analysis is
mandatory)
– Once application fit is assured…
For highly competitive deals
To freeze competition out of opportunities
To craft better tuned solutions

Improving Disk Response Time
If the customer wants 2000 IOPS at 20 ms:
How many drives?
– 5.4K ATA?
– 7.2K ATA?
– 10K FC?
– 15K FC?
Which is cheapest?
About 75
About 50
About 19
About 11
15K RPM disks cost 30% more per drive than
10K, but they will be the least expensive way to
meet this requirement

A Case for RAID-DP
RAID-DP is mandatory to enable primary application reliability
– SATA drives are twice as likely to fail
– Drive failures result in RAID reconstructions – twice as many SATAreconstructions
– Five reconstructions per year – nearly 100% chance of data loss from
bit error with RAID 5
RAID-DP buries the bit error risk
System Reliability Event FC SATA
Typical Disk Drive Replacements
(per year per 100 drives)1 – 3 2 – 5
Bit Error Likelihood
(per spindle)0.2% 2.3%
Bit Error Likelihood – Single Parity
(per reconstruction of an 8-Drive RAID 4/5 Set)1.6% 18.4%
Bit Error Likelihood – Dual Parity
(per reconstruction of an 8-Drive RAID-DP® Set)< 1 in a billion

When To Sell Which Drive
If the customer’s requirement is for bytes, not
performance, sell ATA
– ATA drives are only inexpensive if there is no response-
time requirement
If the customer’s requirement is for latency-
constrained performance, sell 15K FC drives
– 15K drives have high cost per byte
– 15K drives offer the lowest cost per operation at a fixed
latency

Reallocate Command
Available in Data ONTAP 7.0 and later – Runs in background at non-busy times
Useful for:
– Improving spatial locality of files and LUNS
– Solving sequential read performance problems
Cautions
– Reallocate works by rewriting files
– Cannot move data locked into Snapshot copies – If there are Snapshot copies present, requires sufficient
free space
– Rewritten data is changed data, and SnapMirror willmove the changed blocks

Memory Considerations
More memory on host helps when – Few, large host systems
– Large data sets, but not shared among hosts
– Very wide application data foot prints
– Almost always
More memory on controller helps when
– Many hosts, with shared data
– Large metadata needs Lots of big deep directories
– Certain applications with wide data foot prints
Exchange, large databases

Memory Considerations (Cont.)
Tradeoffs
– In some configurations, a performance tradeoff exists
More memory can mean less disks needed
Less memory can mean more disks needed Slower disks need more memory, faster disks need
less
Summary
– Consider application and architecture of customer
– Understand your customers environment
– Use NetApp white papers and sizing tools

Protocol Performance
CIFS Performance
– CIFS is not really a high-performance protocol, Each connection has low performance demand, BUT
Tens of thousands of CIFS users IS a high-performanceload
– Consolidation of CIFS users is great candy
Careful consideration and sizing needed Use home directory sizing guide
Use Custom Application Sizing tool
WHEN POSSIBLE, correlate CIFS usage with statisticscollection – very powerful
– Be aware of anti-virus needs – Be aware of advanced CIFS features (for example SMB
signing, quotas, oplocks)
Consolidation means CIFS environments are expected to behigh performance, so these environments need carefulattention

Protocol Performance (Cont.)
iSCSI versus FCP
Often a business, political, or religious choice – Let the customer choose
FCP already, then FCP
Cost conscious? Think iSCSI!
Many non-performance reasons to pick one
Performance factors – iSCSI SW – easy and cheap
Uses more CPU (on host and storage) - often not an issue
– iSCSI HW
Typical NIC cost - CPU consumption is less than SW – Bandwidth - FCP wire is typically 2X Ethernet wire
However, rarely an issue (just use multiple wires)
For the vast majority of cases, iSCSI performance is similarto FCP; other factors typically force the choice

A Few Traps to Avoid
Do not size based exclusively on price or capacity
Do not try to size or compare a controller performance with
single threaded tests like dd or mv
Do not promise that a controller is always faster than local
storage
Do not use SFS/Netbench or SPC1 number for sizing
purposes
Do not assume that customers always know their
environment – whenever possible collect data to verify
assumptions

Technical Positioning – When to Sell
Instances where customer primary applications do notrequire peak storage performance (this analysis is
mandatory)
NPL (NearStore Personality License) – Now clusterable
Once application fit is assured…
To craft better-tuned solutions
For highly competitive deals
To freeze competition out of opportunities

Overview of FAS Deduplication
Reduces storage use by sharing identical data
blocks
Eliminates redundancy within a flexible volume
Works well on data sets that have a lot of
duplication, for example archives
Also known as dedupe, data deduplication,dense volumes, redundancy elimination
