  1. EMC CLARiiON FC4700 The Next Generation Storage Infrastructure for Distributed Computing Environments

  2. YES YES YES YES YES Business Challenge How do I provide data center best practices to all computing environments? Best Practice Data Center Edge 1. Remote disaster recovery YES NO 2. Applications run while backup completes YES NO 3. Recovery from disk YES NO 4. Parallel information access YES NO 5. Centralized management YES NO

  3. EMC Provides Best Practices • EMC provides best practices to every computing environment • Protect distributed computing environments with data center best practices • Remote disaster recovery • Parallel access to production information • Backup during production periods • Restore from tape or disk • Centralized management

  4. CLARiiON FC4700NEXT GENERATION STORAGE FOR Distributed Computing ENVIRONMENTS • Enhanced capabilities • More horsepower—Four processors (two per storage processor) • More connectivity—Four Fibre Channel ports • More throughput—Double the cache • More availability—Dual redundant Fibre Channel back end • Advanced storage-based information management • MirrorView—Storage-based remote disaster recovery • SnapView—Point-in-time view for parallel information access • Proven CLARiiON architecture • EMC testing and support • Part of the EMC Offering CLARiiON FC4700 Powerful, intelligent, rock solid

  5. EMC CLARiiON Storage Subsystems • Modular highly scalable, full Fibre Channel architecture • Proven high-availability architecture • Full internal redundancy • Over 120,000 installations • CLARiiON host / cluster support • IBM AIX, Sun, HP-UX, Windows 2000, Windows NT, NetWare, Linux (not supported for clusters) • CLARiiON FC4700: Windows NT, Windows 2000, and Sun Solaris • Centralized management through EMC Navisphere • Familiar Microsoft Windows Explorer interface runs on Windows NT and Windows 2000 • Automated, proactive fault notification via e-mail, FAX, or pager

  6. FC4700 • Four Intel 733MHz PIII processors • Four Fibre Channel ports • 2GB RAMBUS cache • Multi-host FC-SW attach • Scalable to 7.3TB, 100 drives • Typically 50–70 drives • Direct or cluster attach • Access Logix—access control • SnapView—parallel access • MirrorView—disaster recovery FC4500 • Two processors • Two Fibre Channel ports • 1GB cache • Multi-host FC-SW attach • Scalable to 7.3TB, 100 drives • Typically 40–50 drives • Direct or cluster attach • Access Logix—access control FC5300 • Two processors • Two Fibre Channel ports • Scalable to 2.1TB, 30 drives • Typically 10–15 drives • Direct or cluster attach EMC CLARiiON Models

  7. CLARiiON FC4700 System Hardware THE CLARiiON ARCHITECTURE IS BASED ON DUAL STORAGE PROCESSORS Each CLARiiON FC4700 storage processor has the following: • Two Intel 733MHz Pentium III processors • Runs more software, faster • Two front-end Fibre Channel ports with optical GBICs • More connectivity to more hosts—switched or arbitrated loop • Redundant backend FC-AL loops • Greater redundancy and greater throughput • 1GB of RAMBUS memory • Improved system response time

  9. Multi-Personality: FC4700 and IP4700 World’s first re-deployable SAN / NAS enterprise storage • CLARiiON IP4700 (Network attach) • CLARiiON FC4700 (Fibre Channel attach) • Simply swap the personality between storage area network (SAN) and network-attached storage (NAS) • Unprecedented flexibility • Unique investment protection Interface CLARiiON IP4700 Network CLARiiON FC4700 Fibre Channel Industry’s first personality change

  10. EMC Navisphere Management Software • Centralized management for CLARiiON storage throughout the enterprise • Information protection • Information management • Configuration management • Array status and health monitoring • Information access control • Performance analysis tools • Multiple server support • EMC ControlCenter integration • Management framework integration Navisphere Suite • Agent / CLI • Event Monitor • Integrator • Analyzer • Access Logix • SnapView • MirrorView • ControlCenter integration

  11. CLARiiON FC4700NON-DISRUPTIVE UPGRADES • A new level of information availability for continued operation • Both the CLARiiON FC4700 and all host-attached servers remain fully operational during system level or maintenance upgrade procedures • Application software • FC4700 core code • Totally transparent to all array-attached hosts

  12. Access LogixVOLUME ACCESS CONTROL Servers • EMC Access Logix is a software product for CLARiiON storage arrays • Access Logix ensures only authorized servers have access to specific volumes (LUNs) • Storage-based product uses no host cycles • Transparent to server, operating system, and applications • Centralized, simplified management via EMC Navisphere • Access Logix protects data from unauthorized access • Servers can access only authorized volumes • Access control is maintained once on the CLARiiON array rather than on every attached server • Volumes can be shared by server cluster pairs Switches CLARiiON

  13. Production information SNAP Snapshot Logical point-in-time view CLARiiON FC4700 EMC SnapViewPARALLEL INFORMATION ACCESS • SnapView is a software product for the CLARiiON FC4700 • SnapView creates logical point-in-time views of production information • Storage-based product uses no host cycles • Takes only seconds to create a complete snapshot • Snapshots can be created requiring only a fraction of the original file system space • Snapshot allows parallel access to production data • Are read/write mountable by a secondary host for increased productivity • Minimizes time that production data is unavailable to users • Eliminates scheduled downtime for backups • Enables more frequent data warehouse refreshes

  14. Using SnapView for Parallel Operations • Concurrent backups • Decision support systems • Management reports • Data warehouse loads or updates • Application testing against logical view of production data • Complete daily batch routines during production periods • File maintenance and other housekeeping tasks

  15. Production Host Backup Host Backup Unit Production information SNAP Snapshot CLARiiON FC4700 Example: Using SnapView for Backups • Quiesce application if required • Establish SnapView instance containing the backup image • Created within seconds • Production application continues • Execute backups from the snapshot while production processing continues • Once backup is complete, retire the snapshot
