Applications

SANPoint Foundation Suite Applications

eBusiness Infrastructure• Web applications• ISP, XSP, hosting• Content servers

Enterprise Applications• Billing systems• Proprietary data processing• DSS/DW

Databases• Single instance

File Servers• General purpose file serving

eBusiness InfrastructureBusiness Problems

eBusinesses require rapid deployment and provisioning of applications:• Capacity on demand business models• CNN Election Night

Administrative costs high• Moving data• Maintaining software images• Stale data, content, binaries• Application load balancing

eBusiness Infrastructure Solutions

SANPoint Foundation Suite provides a data virtualization layer that meets eBusiness needs.• Dyanamic QOS requirements• SLA’s• Quick and non-disruptive migration

• Data

• Storage

• Lower admin costs

• Don’t move data

• Don’t install SW

• Simple load balancing

eBusiness Infrastructure Solutions

Manageability due to flexible deployment of multiple apps and customers in common infrastructure.• Simplified• Less costly• Reduce data movement

Content management• File sharing

Web Servers (Read-mostly)

Standard shared nothing operation:

• Web database is replicated on two disks - one for each web server

• Double the disk space; regular copy operations required

• Alternative - NFS server

CFS operation:• No web database replication

required• Save disk space; no

synchronization problems• No NFS server required

Enterprise Applications

Enterprise Applications• Batch processing• Proprietary apps• DW/DSS• Billing

Simplified data access architecture for operational efficiency• Less everything (network, servers, storage,

people)• Less complex, therefore more manageable• Test, data movement, pilot

Simplifying Load Balancing

Today’s configuration:• Partitioned data• Difficult to manage• Difficult to load balance

SANPoint Foundation Suite• Partitioning separated from file

system configuration• Cluster can grow to multiple servers

easily • Simple to manage and load balance
