A Different Kind of Storage Experience

• “Too be honest, I did not even look at the manual when I set them up. It was that easy.”

• “I manage a Petabyte by myself and I sleep at night.” Easy

• “We needed to triple the amount of storage in the same space without increasing power and heat. Only Nexsan could keep us in our data center.”

Efficient

• “I have a Petabyte and did not replace a single drive in the last year. That’s beDer than what we saw with our other vendors.”

• “Every Fme I call, a knowledgeable support person picks up the phone.”

NEXSAN Enclosure Design

§  SAS/SATA Beast Anti Vibration }  Nexsan patented anti vibration technology prolongs

drive life •  Drives are positioned in pairs within the chassis •  Drives in a pair are counter positioned to dampen

rotational vibration •  Drive mounting brackets as designed to act as

vibration absorbers •  SAS/SATA drive connection to the horizontal mid-plan

is designed to eliminate insertion and connection stress

}  Drives are installed from the top by simply pulling out the Beast and opening the drive access door

Drive pair within SAS/SATA Beast chassis are counter posiEoned

§  Special Cooling }  B14 / Boy utilizes 4 fans for N+N Cooling }  B42/Beast, B60, B60E utilizes 11 fans for N+N

Cooling •  Does not use a traditional vertical mid-plane common

with other drive chassis. Uses horizontal mid-plan; Air flow is unrestricted

•  Air channels that run between each pair of drives •  Fans are controlled by a tachometer monitor •  Each drive is separately cooled by the air channels

Introducing the Nexsan E5000 Family All the advantages of Nexsan, now in NAS!

August 2011


Nexsan’s E5000 Family Highlights

§  Shared files for servers and users via CIFS and NFS

§  Up and running in 10 minutes }  Including file shares, snapshots,

and replication §  Revolutionary Easy GUI for

ongoing management §  Scalable from entry-level (8TB) to

enterprise-sized (1440TB) }  Storage Pools for online capacity

expansion }  1Gb and 10Gb Ethernet connectivity

to the enterprise


§  FASTier™ }  Leverages SSD technology to

deliver blazing fast performance with NL-SAS (7200 RPM), SATA, or SAS (15K RPM) drives

§  AutoMAID power efficiency }  Industry leading storage efficiency

§  Industry leading storage density }  Larger configurations use new

E18 / E60 Storage Systems §  No single point of failure

configurations }  Dual redundant storage controllers

w/automatic failover }  Hot-pluggable Storage Controllers




§  Highlights } Snapshots (do not consume additional storage) } Asynchronous Replication } Online Capacity Expansion } Per Share Quotas & Thin Provisioning } Active Directory / LDAP Integration } Microsoft VSS integration for accessing prior

versions of files

§  I/O Ports }  Two to six 1Gb Ethernet per controller }  Optional dual 10Gb Ethernet per controller


E5000 Authentication & Access Control

§  Integrates with existing authentication system }  Active Directory (Windows)

•  Users, Groups, Groups of Groups }  External LDAP service }  Local LDAP service }  Users do not have to have a separate logon }  Easy to maintain

§  Access Control }  Easy to set permissions for shares }  CIFS shares support NTFS ACLs

•  SMB Versions 1 and 2

}  NDMP-based backup/restores preserve all access rights for CIFS or NFS shares


E5000 Family: Storage Virtualization

§  E5000 Storage Virtualization enables: }  Flexibility - the pooling of multiple RAID Groups and Volumes (LUNs) }  Up to 2 Pools on the E5110 with expansion chassis }  Multiple Pools on E5310 }  Additional storage can be added on-the-fly

•  Additional storage is detected and added to the pool of your choice •  Automatic storage I/O re-balancing •  Non-disruptive physical and logical expansion


Thin Provisioning

Thin Provisioning optimize the utilization of available storage, providing on-demand allocation of blocks of data only when they are actually filled with data, versus the traditional method of allocating all the blocks up front.

Benefits of Nexsan Thin Provisioning: §  Guarantee storage for certain applications §  Over-provision for other applications §  Provide quota maximums for other applications §  Allocate and shrink storage allocations as needed

Note: This volume/share level of “Quotas” should not be confused with User and Group-‐level Quotas, which limit a parFcular user’s group to exceed a set amount of space within a share.


Nexsan E5000 Business Continuity

Optional Data Protection Suite Data Protection Suite

§  Snapshots }  Persistent – Up to 2048 per share }  Do not require any storage space }  Policy based creation and retention }  Scheduled }  Create a clone of a snapshot for testing or data mining }  Point-in-time rollbacks (of shares)

§  Asynchronous/Synchronous Replication }  Replication to Disaster Recovery site }  Granularity is either a Share or a Pool }  WAN-efficient (de-duplication, checkpoint restarts) }  Changed blocks are transmitted to target side }  Wizard makes it easy to set up


E5000 Local Data Protection

§  Snapshots }  Journaling Method: Consumes less space than the typical Copy on Write

(COW) method }  Reservationless: No need to reserve snapshot storage }  Block-level snapshots }  Schedule: Scheduling granular to 1 minute }  Policy: Policy based creation and retention }  Windows VSS Integration: Access Snapshot data via Windows Previous

Versions }  Rollback: Point-in-time rollbacks (of shares), or manually copy individual

files from mounted snapshots

8am 9am 7pm 6pm 11am 10am 1pm 12pm 3pm 2pm 5pm 3pm


E5000 Remote Data Protection

§  Asynchronous/Synchronous Replication }  IP-based: Replication to another E5000 System (via IP) }  Granular: Replicate entire Storage Pools or individual Shares }  WAN Efficient: Changed blocks (deltas) are deduplicated, then

transmitted to target side, then “rehydrated” }  Remote Snapshots: Also replicate snapshots (for remote rollback) }  Setup Wizard: Wizard makes it easy to set up }  Continuous: Frequency granular to 1 minute

Introducing FASTier™ for High Performance

§  FASTier™ uses two kinds of SSDs }  100GB/200GB SSD drives for read/write

cache }  8GB SSD for write cache (E5310 only)

§  6X Performance on SPECsfs2008_nfs }  On an E5110 with FASTier turned on

FASTier™ Cache

Nexsan FASTier™ Operation Overview

§  Write Journal }  8GB of RAM (with Flash backup upon power

failure) in an SSD on the SAS bus mirrors the write journal in the CPU DRAM

}  A write request is acknowledged quickly, once it is in the Write Journal

}  The Write Journal is drained as writes are placed into the filesystem; large write-anywhere stripes

§  Read/Write SSD Cache }  Caches filesystem reads and writes to

accelerate random I/O performance

Write Journal 8GB RAM on SAS Bus
