 Compression

• Improved storage efficiency

• Typically 2x improvement in storage efficiency

• Improved i/o bandwidth

• Read/write compressed data reduces load on storage backend

• Improved client side caching

• Caching compressed data increases apparent cache size

• Compression is controlled per file

• by administrator defined policy rules

 Performance Optimization

• Quality of Service
• Set IOPs thresholds to reserve performance
• Throttle background functions such as rebuild or async replication
• Set by flexible policy, such as day-of-week and time-of-day

• Highly Available Write Cache (HAWC)

• Improves performance of mall synchronous writes
• Small synch writes are written to the log. As log fills, rewrite to home location
• Relatively small amount NVDIMM required to maximize b/w to disk

• Local Read Only Cache (LROC)

• Extend the page pool memory to include local SSD for read caching
• Writes invalidate cache and are consistent across nodes

• Enable Metadata Acceleration

• Metadata includes directories, inodes, indirect blocks

• Lift data to the highest tiers based on the file’s “heat”

 What is ESS?

 Elastic Storage Server (ESS) is an integrated file based storage solution:

 IBM Power System Servers
 Storage Enclosure and drives
 Spectrum Scale Software
including Spectrum Scale RAID software
 Networking components

 ESS is a building block solution for Spectrum Scale

 ESS’s can be scaled horizontally to provide massive scaling of:
 Capacity
 Throughput
 Number of files
 Number of Objects

 All of the intelligence in ESS resides in Spectrum Scale

and Spectrum Scale RAID Software

 ESS advantages compared to custom build Spectrum Scale

• Integrity: end to end checksumming

• Declustered Raid
• Performance: Single IO up to 2MB!
• No controller saturation

• Flexibility: vdisk concept allows small fs striped across all disks

• Monitoring: Direct disk access allows monitoring of smart data

• 256 MB persistent NVRAM cache for caching of small IO‘s
