Title: EMC CLARiiON FC4700


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

2
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

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 hostsswitched or
    arbitrated loop
  • Redundant backend FC-AL loops
  • Greater redundancy and greater throughput
  • 1GB of RAMBUS memory
  • Improved system response time

Multi-Personality FC4700 and IP4700
  • Worlds 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

  • 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

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
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

16
EMC MirrorView REMOTE DISASTER RECOVERY
  • EMC MirrorView is a software product for the
    CLARiiON FC4700
  • MirrorView maintains synchronous remote mirroring
    between two CLARiiON FC4700 arrays
  • Storage-based product uses no host cycles
  • Transparent to server, operating system, and
    applications
  • Centralized, simplified management via EMC
    Navisphere
  • MirrorView protects production information from
    unavailability and loss
  • Protection from environmental, mechanical, or
    technical threats
  • Continuous, bi-directional information integrity
  • Failover production environment to remote site
  • Enables concurrent information access at remote
    site
