Bridgeworks SANSlide
SVC
V3000

 IP connections may have long latency
– Long distance connections
– Many network “hops”
 Traditional solutions transmit data, wait for response,
transmit more data
– Results in poor network utilization, as low as 20%
– Worse as latency becomes higher
 Bridgeworks SANSlide technology integrated with
Storwize family IP replication
– No separate appliances required
– No additional cost
 Uses artificial intelligence technology to transmit data streams in
parallel
– Automatically adjusts to changing network latency
– Improves network bandwidth utilization up to 3x
– Independent of application or data type
 Deploy less costly network infrastructure
 Speed replication cycles for better remote data currency and
faster recovery

Value of IP Replication with Bridgeworks SANSlide Technology
SVC
V3000
V5000
V7000

Major customer requirement
 Simpler: Eliminate FC-IP routers and network
optimization appliances
 Independent: Eliminate CPU and management
overhead of using server-based solutions
 More efficient: Significantly improve network
utilization
 Flexible: Delivers benefits regardless of
workload or data type
 Cheaper: Deploy less expensive networking
infrastructure and eliminate need for dark fibre
 Better: Reduce impact of disasters by
copying data more quickly

Automatically used when new data written, even for existing compressed volumes
Up to 3x higher sequential write throughput (minor read improvement – 15%)
– Faster VMware vMotion sessions
– More VMware vMotion sessions in parallel
– More FlashCopy sessions in parallel

V7000

Uses 35% less CPU resources for the same workload compared to version 7.1
Delivers 35% more throughput (IOPS) for random I/O workloads
Benefit: Compress more VMware, Oracle, DB2, and MS-SQL workloads
Hot-cold I/O segregation
Makes physical placement of compressed data better for Easy Tier
Increases Easy Tier efficiency
Benefit: Improve application performance for more data

Enables straightforward nondisruptive migration from existing SAS storage
Available for Storwize V3500, Storwize V3700 and Storwize V5000
Supports migration from DS3200 and DS3500 only
Not intended for general-purpose storage virtualization
Supported with any host attachment technology
Speeds implementation and minimizes disruption when
deploying new storage



Enhanced Stretched Cluster
SVC

 Existing stretched cluster support limitations
– No manual failover capability
– Solution typically sends data across the long distance link twice
 Addressed by adding concept of ‘site awareness’
– Route IO traffic between the nodes and controllers to optimize data flow
– Police IO traffic in failure conditions to allow manual cluster invocation to ensure
consistency
 Support notes
– Stretched cluster hardware installation guidelines remain the same
– Use of enhanced stretch cluster is optional, existing stretch cluster configurations will
continue to be supported, however customers are encouraged to use the new feature for
its benefits
– Should be possible to convert an existing stretched cluster to an enhanced stretch
cluster non-disruptively any time after upgrade has completed

*The best product to offer in any situation will vary depending on many factors, including the installed storage and competition
(see Storage Sales Guidance). Note that one advantage of these systems is their ability to scale up and out so they can satisfy
both larger initial requirements and also growth over time without needing to change from one to another.
