Editor's Notes
- #2 ** slides full screen ** make us all organizers ** click SHOW MY SCREEN ** Start broadcast ** RECORD —— [TITLE SLIDE] Hello and Welcome to….. Key Data Protection Best Practices for your Virtual Environment My name is David Davis and I'll be the moderator, and initial speaker, on today's event, sponsored by Sureline Systems If you have questions during the webinar, please use the gotomeeting question box to enter your question. The speakers will be answering questions LIVE as they come in and we’ll have a Q&A session at the end of the webinar. One luck attendee today will 1 iPAD PRO so stay tuned for that drawing! We’ve got a lot to cover so Let’s get started!!
- #3 So that you have a little background on who is presenting today, let me first tell you about myself. My name is David Davis and I’m a VMware vExpert, VCP, CCIE, and a video training author, on the topic of virtualization, for pluralsight.com. I started my career in IT as a server and network admin, working in the datacenter. Later I was an IT manager at medium enterprise where we had a very successful server consolidation project, consolidating roughly 80% of our servers. It was then that I learned about the great power and efficiency that virtualization could provide. Since then, I’ve been writing, speaking, and creating video training around virtualization. I’ve spoke at VMware user groups and Vmworld in the US, Canada, and Europe. I’m the co-owner of actualtechmedia.com where we create technical marketing content and demand generation for companies in virtualization, storage, and cloud computing. My blog is virtualizaitonsoftware.com and you can find me on Twitter as @DavidMDavis. Our panelists are… Now that you know who we are, let’s start this webinar off by talking about some of the ongoing challenges we are facing in IT.
- #5 The foundation of Tintri’s solution is VM-aware storage. With traditional storage, the user manages LUNs or volumes. In a virtualized environment there are 10s or hundreds of VMs in a LUN or volume. What you want is storage that supports the abstraction of virtual machine. Management should be done at the VM not the LUN volume. So this is VM-aware storage. It provides VM level QoS, VM level analytics, VM data management for replication, cloning. Everything can be done via an API. Vm-aware storage is hypervisor neutral. It can support vSphere, Hyper-V and OpenStack VMs on the same storage system.
- #7 So how do you operate at scale and guaranteed performance for each application as well as providing visibility. With VM-aware storage, End to end visibility is provided by always-on real time analytics. You can guarantee the performance of every application in a pool of systems using performance isolation and can set QoS policies on individual VMs. It’s the capabilities of VM-aware storage that simplifies the management of a large environment.
- #8 What if you had complete VISIBILITY across the IT stack: Host, Network, and Storage? What if you could see everything at the level you care about: VM level? You could pinpoint the root cause of issues at a glance Make decisions based on real data Manage policies for hundreds of thousands of VMs at the VM level
- #9 What if you could isolate each VM automatically, without manual tuning? And what if you could set quality of service policies for individual VMs and groups of VMs: unique policies for VDI and databases, or production and test/dev workloads? You would gain the ability to share your storage with mixed workloads, VDI and databases for example, without worrying about them fighting for resources, all without tuning. And if you want to guarantee a little more performance to certain workloads, and less for others, you can do that too through set-it-and-forget-it policies. No noisy neighbors.
- #10 Tintri Global Center is our single pane of glass for customers with multiple VMstores. You can manage up to 32 VMstores across geographies from a single location. That’s the equivalent of managing just 32 datastores with 3.2PB of capacity for 112,000 VMs and 4.5M IOPS from one place.
- #11 Our new scale out architecture is designed for virtualized environments. It takes a very similar approach to the way that Vmware scales compute using DRS. It provides federated pools of storage. You can create multiple pools. You can mix and match different kinds of storage nodes in a pool. A pool can include our current Vmstores, older Vmstores and future storage nodes. There is no custom interconnect between the nodes. Each storage node has a lot of performance and capacity – up to 300 TB and 5000 VMs. It’s balanced in capacity and performance. When you add a storage node, you are adding performance as well as capacity. Compare this to large scale-up all-flash systems that have a lot of capacity but are limited by performance. The architecture is also built on the independent scaling of compute and storage. Today you can go from 1 to 32 storage nodes. But there are no intrinsic limits on storage scaling. For compute, you can start with a small number of servers and scale to hundreds or even thousands of compute nodes. It’s modern scale out all flash storage for virtualized environments and the cloud.
- #12 Now let’s look at the Scale out software works. The VM scale out algorithm redistribute VMs to optimize the system. It uses data about every VM that is running in the system to make decisions. The algorithm considers the capacity, performance of each VM and any policies associated with each VM. It also has data about each individual storage node. In order to optimize the system it may recommend that some VMs should be migrated to new storage nodes. When a migration occurs all snapshots, policies and stats are retained. I am now going to hand it over to Sunil who will give a demo of VM-scale out.
- #13 The data path for the backup (or restore) bypasses the ESXi host.
- #14 Reported to us from customer in Europe - multiple VMs with an aggregate data transfer rate of more than 500 MB/s. And from the lab at Tintri – two VMs being backed up with an aggregate data transfer rate of more than 600 MB/s. We believe that Direct NFS can be 300% faster than NBD.
- #15 We receive many questions about backup proxy servers. For instance, what are the advantages / disadvantages of deploying physical or virtual backup proxies? When deploying virtual backup proxy proxy servers, should the be statically assigned to specific ESXi hosts or should be DRS be allowed to migrate them? Do we have guidelines on backup proxy sizing? How many backup proxies should a user plan on deploying?
- #16 Important backup proxy server settings are shown here; transport mode, connected datastores, and max concurrent tasks. We’ll look at these settings in greater detail on subsequent slides.
- #17 Automatic selection is typically preferred and will use Direct storage access whenever possible. The caveat is that Automatic selection may select Virtual appliance if for some reason Direct storage access is unavailable. With either choice, the optional ability to failover to network mode can be enabled.
- #18 In some environments it may be necessary to use manual datastore selection. When using manual datastore selection, specific datastores can be added.
- #29 The backup infrastructure components are flexible in that they can be configured in different ways to achieve different objectives. In the first example, the infrastructure is scaled to have multiple proxies connect to an independent repository. This facilitates scaling the ability to deliver backup and replication traffic while also eliminating a single-proxy-point-of-failure. The second example depicts a proxy and repository hosted on the same machine. This simple combined backup infrastructure may be best suited to smaller environments. The scale-out repository is a logical entity, where multiple repositories are configured to create a pool of devices and systems, summarizing their capacity.
