Multi-Core Cache Performance, Efficiency and Ease-of-Use Benefits

Modularization of cache engine – Delivers seamless performance, scales with cores

– Fewer forced flush scenarios

One large, shared, mirrored cache; no R/W partitioning – Supports large write cache sizes (close to max DRAM size)

– Improved read hits

– No manual intervention

Adaptive cache management and improved cache algorithms

– Adjusts to changing IO profiles

– Write cache re-use after flush

– Improved pre-fetch

Improved Performance and Efficiency of FAST Cache

Multi-Core FAST Cache

Performance enhancements

– New Driver Stack Order

▪ FAST Cache memory map below MCC

▪ Reduced overhead due to cache hit pass-through

– Proactive clean optimization

▪ Improved responsiveness as promotions are not delayed by flushing dirty pages

– Faster initial warm-up

▪ Initial hit incurs promotion until FAST Cache is 80% full.

Multi-Core RAID Performance Scale with Advanced Availability and Flexibility

Permanent Sparing – Hot Spares become a permanent part of the

RAID Group, no equalization required* – Any unused drive is a potential hot spare – 3 Policies for reserving hot spares:

▪ Recommended

▪ No Hot Spares

▪ Custom

Portable Drives – No slot to drive location dependency – Drives can be relocated between busses, shelves – 5-Minute timeout before hot spare invoked – Used for bus balancing; can remove whole RAID

groups for longer periods (will Fault) ▪ Must be moved within same VNX

• Deduplication of data at 8KB granularity

– Deduped LUNs are Thin LUNs

• Settable per pool LUN – Thick, Thin and Deduped LUNs

supported in a single pool

• Freed up blocks/slices are available for re-use within storage pool

• Deduplication occurs out of band to minimize I/O impact
