29. Deconstructing a SAN Physical Disks Controllers Connectivity Adaptors The brains of the SAN – typically now with x86 CPU, Memory, and provides enterprise features like Thin Provisioning, Deduplication, Storage Tiering etc. Multiple controllers provide resiliency. Resilient connectivity to external sources viaiSCSI, FC, FCoE, NFS, SMB Flash-based (SSD) or spinning media (HDD) to provide the raw storage capacity for your data. Pooled by the controllers,and sliced into LUNs (Simple, Mirrored, Parity etc.)

30. Microsoft Storage Management Physical Disks Controllers Connectivity Adaptors Clustered Windows Server 2012 R2 File Servers (SOFS)creates disk pools, then slices them into Storage Spaces.Spaces can be Thin Provisioned & support Deduplication.Spaces can be Simple, Mirrored or Parity. Windows Server File Servers have resilient connectivity to external sources using regular 1GbE, 10GbE Network Adaptors. Support for up to 56Gb RDMA Adaptors. Support via iSCSI, SMB 3.0 & NFS Connectivity Low cost, low complexity JBOD shelf with SSD/HDD mixand multiple SAS connectivity ports

31. Hyper-V Host Storage Support Hyper-V over SMB 3.0 Ease of provisioning, increased flexibility & seamless integration with high performance Storage Spaces Transform high-volume, low cost disks into flexible, resilient virtualized storage Storage Tiering* Pool HDD & SSD and automatically move hot data to SSD for increased performance Data Deduplication Reduce file storage consumption, now supported for live VDI virtual hard disks* New in Windows Server 2012 R2 *

32. Storage Spaces Inbox solution for Windows to manage storage • Virtualize storage by grouping industry-standard disks into storage pools • Pools are sliced into virtual disks, or Spaces. • Spaces can be Thin Provisioned, and can be striped across all physical disks in a pool. Mirroring or Parity are alsosupported. • Windows then creates a volume on the Space, and allows data to be placed on the volume. • Spaces can use DAS only (local to the chassis, or via SAS) F:\ } } } } DAS Disks Pools Spaces Volumes

33. Storage Tiering for Spaces Optimizing storage performance on Spaces • Disk pool consists of both high performance SSDs and higher capacity HDDs • Hot data is moved automatically to SSD and cold data to HDD usingSub-File-Level data movement • With write-back-caching, SSD absorb random writes that are typical in virtualized deployments • Admins can pin hot files to SSDs manually to drive high performance • New PowerShell cmdlets are available for the management of storage tiers Storage Space SSD Tier - 400GB EMLC SAS SSD Hot Data Cold Data HDD Tier - 4TB 7200RPM SAS

34. Hyper-V over SMB 3.0 Store Hyper-V VMs on SMB 3.0 File Shares • Simplified Provisioning & Management • Low OPEX and CAPEX • Adding multiple NICs in File Servers unlocks SMB Multichannel – enables higher throughput and reliability. Requires NICs of same type and speed. • Using RDMA capable NICs unlocks SMB Direct offloading network I/O processing to the NIC. • SMB Direct provides high throughput and low latency and can reach 40Gbps (RoCE) and 56Gbps (Infiniband) speeds \\SOFSFileServerName\VMs Scale-out file server Storagespaces Storagepools Physical disks

48. VMware Comparison The Hyper-V Extensible Switch is open and extensible, unlike VMware’s vSwitch, which is closed, and replaceable The vSphere Distributed Switch (required for PVLAN capability) is available only in the Enterprise Plus edition of vSphere 5.5 and is replaceable (By Partners such as Cisco/IBM) rather than extensible. ARP Spoofing, DHCP Snooping Protection & Virtual Port ACLs require the vCloud Networking & Security package, which is part of the vCloud Suite or a Partner solution, all of which are additional purchases Trunking VLANs to individual vNICs, Port Monitoring and Mirroring at a granular level requires vSphere Distributed Switch, which is available in the Enterprise Plus edition of vSphere 5.5 vSphere Hypervisor / vSphere 5.x Ent+ Information: http://www.vmware.com/products/cisco-nexus-1000V/overview.html, http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/networking/switches/virtual/dvs5000v/, http://www.vmware.com/technical-resources/virtualization-topics/virtual-networking/distributed-virtual-switches.html, http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/techpaper/Whats-New-VMware-vSphere-51-Network-Technical-Whitepaper.pdf, and http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/switches/ps9441/ps9902/data_sheet_c78-492971.html, http://www.vmware.com/products/vcloud-network-security,
