  1. IBM Smarter StorageFoundation for the Future..

    Flash Systems
  2. OLTP Databases Financial, gaming, real-time billing, trading, real-time monitoring, query acceleration (DB2/Oracle), etc. Analytical applications (OLAP) Business intelligence, batch processing, ERP systems, reporting, massive data feeds, etc. Virtual Infrastructures VDI, Consolidated virtual infrastructures, user profiles, etc. HPC/Computational Applications Simulation, modeling, rendering, FS metadata, scratch space, video on demand, thread efficiency, etc. Cloud-scale Infrastructures On-demand computing, content distribution, web, caching, metadata, GPFS, active file management, etc. Application Sweet Spots – Do more, Do it faster E-Commerce HPC Telecom Financial Government
  3. Flash Reality – Deterministic High Performance Minimal application changes needed – non-disruptive Can co-exist with any other storage vendors – no rip-replace Flash is quick and easy to deploy – various methods of deployment Flash has a quick ROI – minimum 3X performance improvement Flash Solves Business Problems – TODAY increase CPU (Application) efficiency decrease time to operation results unlock scale of users or processes provide the best end user experience Performance Gap From 1980 to 2010, CPU performance has grown 60% per year* …and yet, disk performance has grown ~5% per year during that same period**
  4. Why is Latency So Important? Consider Little’s Law of mathematical queue theory as it applies to Application Performance Q = the number of parallel threads running in the application t = the Time it takes for an IO request to be serviced R = Result, typically measured in IOPS or Bandwidth Let’s Assign Values to this equation: Now let’s see how FlashSystem alters this equation That’s a 50X improvement in response time and amount of work completed!
  5. Reduced Latency translates to Application Efficiency Servers, Applications and Databases are FASTER! CPU Utilization & App. Efficiency 50% Total Application Processing Time 400us (.4ms) 200us (.2ms) 200us (.2ms) CPU Utilization & App. Efficiency 4% Total Application Processing Time 5,200us (5.2ms) 5,000us (5ms) 200us (.2ms) Benefits & economics outweigh disk Application Processing Time Time Waitingfor I/0 (Waiting for Array) Time Processing Data (Server CPU) No application Or architecture Changes What do you do with the Extra Time? Reduce floor space, power & cooling IBM FlashSystem Disk/Hybrid/SSD
  6. IBM FlashSystem 840: Reliability Ingredients Superior Durability: Using the Best Flash Superior Protection: Beyond Disk RAID Chip/Plane/Die level protection Variable Stripe Sizes Read Disturb Mitigation Automatic Read Sweeper High-Speed Clock Recovery Advanced Engineering = Less Maintenance 3X SLC Market demand decreasing. eMLC data protection techniques delivering more wear life than what market demands eMLC delivers best Price/Performance 10X Protection Within And Across Flash Modules Self-Recovering Flash Modules Avoid system rebuilds
  7. Variable Stripe RAID™ (VSR) Patented VSR allows RAID stripe sizes to vary. If one die fails in a ten-chip stripe, only the failed die is bypassed, then data is restriped across the remaining nine chips. VSR reduces maintenance intervals caused by Flash failures 10 Chips 9+1 RAID5 FAIL … 16 Planes … Variable Stripe RAID means a “grab from” the over-provisioning pool is only done after 8 bad block or bad plane failures, whereas the competition will need to “grab from” the over-provisioning pool after every failure

  23. GPFS Case Study: Penn State Problem Accelerate nightly backups to meet windows. Solution Implement the flash system solution instead of adding 200 high performance disks. Benefit Instant 6x performance increase in nightly backups Reducing power consumption by 90% “We literally just turned it on and that’s all the performance tuning we did. It just worked out of the box.” “They’re very well made and a very mature product.” - Jason Holmes, Lead Sys. Admin, Penn State University
  24. Media Case Study: Ultimate Fighting Championship Problem Providing digital content for over 130 platforms and storage bottlenecks created by transcoding. Solution Integrate a flash system without disruption to current environment and within a day. Benefit Time for transcoding jobs dropped by up to 70 percent Reduced load on disk storage that was impacting other operations by 40 percent Transcode Engine “It has just completely eliminated bottlenecks. Everything is flowing smoothly.” “Within a day we were able to get it running in a production environment without a huge change in the infrastructure. There was nothing we had to change in code or workflow.” -Danny Gold, VP, UFC
  25. All flash Case Study: Life sciences Client Problem Experiencing pain with JDE BD loads / backups / restores Needed better system performance for the end user Solution Installed IBM FlashSystem 820 into a a SQL DB, clustered, running Oracle JDE Included Oracle OLAP processes Benefit Backup Time improved from 5 hours to 42 minutes Restore Time improved from 6.5 hours to 1.2 hours Batch times went from 7:30 hours to 2:37 and 17:47 to 7:07 SQL cluster IBM 3650 IBM 3650 10 TB Flash System 820 20 runs with 40 users (20-Journal, 20-Sales Orders)

By using IBM FlashSystem to accelerate our insights into customer demand, we’re better placed than ever before to offer unbeatable levels of service to our customers across the United States.” “Installing the FlashSystem technology itself took just an hour or so—it really is a plug-and-play solution.” —Tom DeJuneas, Infrastructure Manager, Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated SVC XIV FlashSystem 820
  27. Computer Services Case Study: COCC Problem COCC is a financial technology provider that uses custom Oracle ATM processing application. COCC needed to upgrade their infrastructure to support the very IO intensive application without increasing their footprint. Without this upgrade, they would not meet their SLA’s. Solution Multiple FlashSystem Arrays with Hitachi in a preferred read configuration using Oracle ASM Benefit CIO Chad Burney won InfoWorld CTO 25 award for performance and cost improvements in addition to: ROI Period: 3 months Batch Times: lowered by 85% OLTP Times: lowered by 90% Power: lowered by 80% Footprint: lowered by 75% SAN Environment Preferred Read Mirror Video available at http://youtu.be/ogHRa39ILts
  28. All flash Case Study: CloudAccess.net Problem When CloudAccess.net was chosen to host the Joomla! content management system demo site, the company needed to build a cloud platform that met huge performance and capacity demands. Solution CloudAccess.net built the Joomla! Virtual Private Memory Cloud, delivering data center-class performance at a competitive cost with high-performance flash storage from Texas Memory Systems (TMS), an IBM company. They deployed two RamSan 810s (now FlashSystem 810) as the back end storage behind a Brocade switch. Disk storage was completely eliminated. Benefit Offers scalable performance and affordable high capacity in a compact, efficient design. Enables the company to deliver an unthrottled platform that supports tens of thousands of users. “Honestly, we don’t even touch the RamSan – the performance and ease-of-use has gone way beyond our expectations, and Texas Memory Systems has the support and human part down pat. When it comes down to flash technology, they really can’t be beaten.” -Gary Brooks, CEO, CloudAccess.net
  29. Financial Case Study: Kiwoom Securities Problem Leading the Korean stock market, the firm needed to replace RS400s, better manage its mounting data volumes, and enable faster online trading to a rapidly growing customer base. Solution IBM installed IBM FlashSystem 710 with a capacity to handle 1 TB of data per system storage Configuration: Server: IBM P720 O/S : AIX 6.1 Application: Altibase OS Mirroring between 1 TB of FlashSystem 710 Benefit The trading environment the solution helped create is faster, more cost-effective and easier to manage. It also can be extended in the future to support competitive customer service. FEP Trading system IBM P720 IBM P720 FlashSystem #1 FlashSystem #2 Mirroring “IBM FlashSystem will contribute to a dramatic increase of the transaction speed which will enable us to eventually enhance our services and hold a dominant competitive position in the industry.“ -JinMan No, CIO of Kiwoom Securities
