  1. Most Madeira functionality requires only compatibility testing for ControlCenter

  2. ControlCenter support of Madeira is focused on FAST tier reporting • Reporting on device capacity in each tier • Tier capacity per Symmetrix • Tier capacity across Symmetrix arrays • Tier capacity for groups • Enabling storage tier reports • Tracking capacity at each tier over time • Chargeback of storage by tier • How much of each tier is available vs. provisioned

  3. Back-up (remove these for final version)

  4. Fully Automated Storage Tiering (FAST) Tiered Storage • Feature Description • Manage the placement of critical data on to EFDs and non-critical data on SATA • Enables tiering • Mix and match drive types for optimal performance and cost • Maximize the value of EFDs • Automate movement of data based on performance characteristics • Promote / demote as needed • Benefits • Helps customers adopt EFDs and SATA into the tiering strategy • Reduces Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) • Acquisition costs, power/cooling, management costs • With FAST, Optimizer and VLUN • Automation across tiers, load balancing within disk groups, manual movement with VLUN Flash FibreChannel SATA

  5. Symmetrix Virtual Provisioning Migration and Space Reclamation • Feature Description • Migrate “thick” to thin volumes • TimeFinder Thin Clone replicates only host-written space to target volume (Q4) • Today - Open Replicator or PPME Host Copy replicates all space to target volume • Also can replicate thin to “thick” • Space Reclamation • Returns chunks containing only zeros to the thin pool • Benefits • Reclaim allocated, “trapped” storage • Defer capacity upgrades and minimize TCO • More space efficient than Hitachi • 768KB (EMC) chunks vs. 42MB (Hitachi) • Additional Considerations • Replication cannot be active during reclamation Standard Volume Host Un-written Space Thin Volume “Sparse” Thin Volume 0000000 0000000 Written Space 0000000 0000000 TimeFinder Thin Clone replicates only host-written space “Chunks” with zeros are reclaimed

  6. Symmetrix Virtual Provisioning Automated Pool Rebalancing Feature Description Expand thin pools in small increments Automatically add data devices when pool is “XX% full” using script Rebalance workloads Minimize risk of hot spots Also rebalance while shrinking pools Maintain host/application operations Benefits Meet growth requirements without significant capacity purchases Minimize TCO while protecting performance Pool expansion & rebalancing are non-disruptive Thin Pool Data Devices Expanded Thin Pool Balanced Thin Pool

  7. Symmetrix DMX Enhancements with the Enginuity 5773 SR • Features • Hardware • 300 GB 10K • 450 GB 10K • Software • FAST v1 • Support for both DMX-3 and DMX-4 • Automates movement of data across disk types based on performance characteristics • Replication Enhancements • SRDF/Star with R22 device • Dynamically add/remove SRDF/A devices to active SRDF/A sessions • TF/Clone with thin SRDF/A • System i • Open Replicator • Virtual Provisioning • Shrinking of thin pools • Benefits • Investment protection • Helps customers adopt EFDs and SATA into the tiering strategy • Enhanced Resiliency • Minimize TCO while protecting performance
