- 1. Business in a Flash Eric Herzog CMO, SVP of Alliances Flash Memory Summit 2014 Santa Clara, CA 1
- 2. Storage Challenges in Application Deployments •Application Performance •Latency is the enemy •IOPS –how many transactions does your storage support? •I/O gap between storage and server infrastructure •OPEX / CAPEX •Power & cooling demands •Floor & rackspace limitations 2 80% Wait 20% Work CPU Cycle with Disk: t I/O Wait I/O Wait
- 3. Flash Fabric Architecture™(FFA) 64 Violin Intelligent Memory Modules –All FlashStriping across entire system Built for Concurrent Mixed & Multiple Workloads 64 Violin Intelligent Memory Modules –All FlashStriping across entire system RAID Controller RAID Controller RAID Controller RAID Controller PCIeSwitched Storage Fabric Array Manager Performance •Over 500K sustained IOPS at sub .5ms latency at 70/30 RW mix using MLC •Up to 1M sustained read IOPS •Automatic Quality of Service Density •70TB raw in 3RUs and low power (500W/RU) Resiliency •Automated, transparent GBC in the background without app performance impact •Designed for long flash life with array-wide flash management, wear leveling and vRAID •Comprehensive Fault tolerant Hardware design: full high availability (HA), Multi-RAID controller (4), completely hot-swappable, and fully redundant
- 4. Revolutionizing Data Center Economics Status Quo All Flash Array Storage Servers Apps Data Center Over-Provisioned Under Utilized Licensed By Core Limited Real Estate Up to 90% Reduction in Storage Costs Up to 80% Reduction in Cores/Servers Up to 70% Reduction in Software Licensing Up to 90% Reduction in Power/Space/Cooling
- 5. Top 10 Global Telco •Database writes could not support new billing application •Latency in existing storage was costing 100’s of millions in lost billable revenue •Performance issues delayed customer migration to 4G •Workload is expected to increase up to 20x
- 6. •12x application performance improvement exceeded new software service levels •FFA performance provides flexibility to scale up to expected 20X workload increase •Telco will bill an additional $140M/year •All flash array 66% of existing solution •95% reduction in Power & Cooling •98% reduction in rack space Global Telco Application Benefits
- 7. •Business Analytics queries were 2X too slow to meet company service levels •Processor performance bottleneck •Limited staff resources constantly tuning legacy storage •Finance and other end users complaining during peak load periods •Data center sprawl and complexity stretching CAPEX/OPEX budgets Juniper Networks –Challenges
- 8. Juniper Networks –Benefits •5,645% More performance with 3.5M IOPS versus 62K IOPS •3X to 4X faster queries •96% Less space due to FFA density •350 TB capacity versus 160TB •67% Less power •33% Lower total cost of ownership Summary •3 x 6264 (iSCSI) •2 x 6264 (FC)

- 11. •100M SKUs now process in 3 hours versus 8 hours •Applications striped across multiple flash arrays achieve latencies of .1ms (100 microseconds) •FFA delivers 1TByte/minute sustained performance •Avoided $20M application re-write to address latency issues •Achieved predictability in inventory levels Global 500 Retailer Application – Benefits
- 12. Revolutionizing Data Center Economics $2M savings in billable hours from legal team and CAPEX savings Achieved over $600k in revenue with Maestro and Array tiering ERP system is running 4X faster on the Violin platform ROI in 11 months & reduced nightly reports times by 3x for Oracle Business E-Suite 50% savings in total cost of hardware, software and support Achieved $400K in operational savings NATS saved £9M over 4 years. ROI <1 year with 90% reduction in billing app reporting time Reduced the cost per IOP by nearly 9x (from £8.88 to £1.03)
