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

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.
