Objectives

After completing this course, you should be able to discuss the following HP 3PAR technology:
• Thin deduplication

What is deduplication?

Space reduction technique

• Identifies redundant or duplicate data
• Maintains only a single copy of that data for all redundant copies
Aid for reducing price of SSDs
• Enables less storage utilization due to no redundant copies
• Extends life of SSDs by limiting writes
• Supported only on VVs stored on SSDs
Base OS suite
• No additional cost
• Announced for 7450 and 7200 all-flash starter kit
• New volume type—TDVV
• TDVV cannot be used with AO

HP 3PAR Thin Deduplication with Express Indexing

True Inline Deduplication with instant metadata lookups

1. hash signatures generated
inline by the ASIC

HP 3PAR Express Indexing

Fast metadata lookups

• Uses metadata tables
• Compares signatures of incoming request to stored signatures
• If signatures match, duplicate request is flagged
− Pointer is added to metadata table to existing blocks
• ASIC performs bit-to-bit comparison of data
− Before any new write is marked as duplicate
− Prevents hash collisions

Most scalable all-flash array available

• Up to 460 TB of raw capacity
• Up to 1.3 PB of usable all-flash capacity

3PAR Thin Deduplication
Accelerated by the ASIC and Express Indexing

1. Host write
0001101

2. ASIC computes hash 3. Fast metadata

lookup with Express 4. (On match) Data is compared against
Indexing the existing potential deduped page
and the ASIC used for a bit-by-bit 6. A dedupe match will result in
LBA

zeros, which is detected inline by

Deduplication terminology

DDC―Deduplication client volume

• Appears as TDVV
• User-created and host-visible volume
DDS―Deduplication store
• Automatically created by system
• Additional DDCs use the same DDS
GC―Garbage collector
• Frees unreferenced pages in the DDS
CRC―Cyclic redundancy check
• CRC32 implemented by ASIC
