An Introduction
Big Content and Object Storage

What Does Your Corporate Data Look Like?
Other5%
Struc-tured Content
15%
File Data80%
Human-generated and machine-generated file data represent ~80% of all corporate data
This data cannot be deleted, even though…
…97% of this data will never be touched again
It’s too expensive to keep this data on primary storage
![Page 5: Roberto Tolini - NetApp Business Solutions Architect EMEA NetApp Distributed Content Repositories: What Are We Doing in Real Life?](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649c915503460f9494b1b6/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

All That Data Is Stressing the Infrastructure
Challenges
Rapid, untamed growth of unstructured data
Perpetually retain large and growing datasets
Distributed users and app environment
Needs PB scale, billions of objects,
reduced operational overhead, efficient management
Policy-based placement, seamless technology refresh
Predictable, location-independent access anywhere, anytime

StorageGRID
Is an Object Storage software solution
Is a software component (Bycast)
Runs on a computing layer (default option: VMs)
Holds the “intelligence”; manages data according to defined policies
Data (objects) are stored in a storage layer; different types supported.
The whole “solution” is referred to as “NetApp DCR.”
What Is StorageGRID?

Where does it fit? Use cases and target markets
![Page 21: Roberto Tolini - NetApp Business Solutions Architect EMEA NetApp Distributed Content Repositories: What Are We Doing in Real Life?](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649c915503460f9494b1b6/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
Where is DCR Solution a good fit?− In general: wherever there is a need for preservation, compliance, data integrity,
distributed repositories (multi-site, multi-tenant), high availability, scalability, etc.
And where it’s not…− In general: highly transactional data, “dumb” storage, “none of the above”, etc…
Target markets and use case examples: − HealthCare: PACS (imaging), Electronic Health Records
− File and email archiving
− “Dropbox-like”, iCloud-like cloud services (sharing, synchronizing)
− Cloud archiving, backup: legal archiving, service providers, knowledge preservation
DCR Solution: Target Markets
![Page 22: Roberto Tolini - NetApp Business Solutions Architect EMEA NetApp Distributed Content Repositories: What Are We Doing in Real Life?](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649c915503460f9494b1b6/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
Customer existing Application(s)− StorageGRID is mainly accessed by applications rather than users directly.
Example: PACS, Document management, etc...
− Is there an existing integration/reference with customer application? (Using API integration vs filesystem)
Customer needs or problems to solve − We might need to propose an application that can solve customer problems
and leverage StorageGRID capabilities. Examples: archiving, “dropbox”
− It might make sense to bring in a partner ISV or develop an ad hoc solution with a NetApp partner
What I do Need to Consider?
![Page 23: Roberto Tolini - NetApp Business Solutions Architect EMEA NetApp Distributed Content Repositories: What Are We Doing in Real Life?](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649c915503460f9494b1b6/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
StorageGRID can be accessed in two ways:
− FileSystem: by exporting a CIFS/NFS share to users/applications
− HTTP API (SG API OR CDMI): by presenting a URL
Why does it matter? What are the differencies?
− File System: simple and immediate No integration needed.
− API: need a “connector” to application (integration)
Why develop or integrate with API?
− Almost infinite scalabilty, truly unique namespace, can leverage metadata in a much more efficient way.
File System vs. API: Why Should I Care?
![Page 24: Roberto Tolini - NetApp Business Solutions Architect EMEA NetApp Distributed Content Repositories: What Are We Doing in Real Life?](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649c915503460f9494b1b6/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
Main reasons for the choice:
− Applications can leverage Object Storage to enhance metadata use for data management
− Applications can use a truly global namespace via API
− StorageGRID provides real distributed content management (DR, ILM for data, HTTP access)
− Performances and scalability model (scale-out with “blocks”). Almost infinite scalability.
− Long-term data integrity guarantee built-in
Why NetApp StorageGRID? General Considerations
![Page 25: Roberto Tolini - NetApp Business Solutions Architect EMEA NetApp Distributed Content Repositories: What Are We Doing in Real Life?](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649c915503460f9494b1b6/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
Business requirements:
− Preserve medical records for long term (integrity guarantee)
− Ensure compliance to regulations (HIPAA, EU, etc...)
− Guaranteed data accessibility, distribution and sharing
Solution:
− A PACS and/or EHR application implemented on NetApp StorageGRID infrastructure
Use Case 1: Healthcare (PACS and EHR)
![Page 26: Roberto Tolini - NetApp Business Solutions Architect EMEA NetApp Distributed Content Repositories: What Are We Doing in Real Life?](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649c915503460f9494b1b6/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Business requirements:
− Offload of less accessed files from primary storage
− Archiving of files (with or without legal value)
− Archiving of emails (MS Outlook, Lotus Domino, etc...).
Solution:
− An application for „file (or email) archiving “ implemented on NetApp StorageGRID infrastructure
Use Case 2: File and Email Archiving
![Page 28: Roberto Tolini - NetApp Business Solutions Architect EMEA NetApp Distributed Content Repositories: What Are We Doing in Real Life?](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649c915503460f9494b1b6/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
28
It is a solution that includes a file (and, in some cases, email) archiving/tiering application that enables offload of user content from primary storage to other data storage tier(s).
NetApp StorageGRID is used as secondary tier and provides the distributed content infrastructure
Application moves data from primary storage based on different parameters (age, metadata, etc...) to StorageGRID.
Solution can leverage StorageGRID data management features (ILM, data protection, self-healing, multiple sites synchronization, etc...)

Well, first and foremost ourselves...but we’re improving − “Blurred” border between object storage and “scale-out NAS” solutions. Not
always easy to understand which is best fit. We often end up competing both with Object Storage and NAS solutions.
Main competitors: − EMC: Atmos and Centera (typically in banking sector), Isilon (typically in
Service Providers)
− HDS: HCP (Hitachi Content Platform) and HUS (Unified Storage, now with http and object interface)
− IBM SONAS (scale-out NAS)
− DDS WoS (Web Object Scalar) and others (less in EMEA, more in U.S.)
Who Is The “Enemy”?

Sweet-spot object >500KB
Counts up to 8B, Capacity to 35PB
− Performance requirements
100MB/s ingest per file system namespace
10Gbps aggregate ingest/retrieve via object APIs
Look for the ISV that completes the puzzle
