Fully leveraging your data, infrastructure, and IT staff has never been more important than it is now, during these times of fiscal responsibility and evolving business demands. In response, businesses need to maximize their IT by getting increased performance, efficiency, and economics out of their infrastructure and resources.
This presentation focuses on three key technologies that provide particularly compelling opportunities to maximize IT:
-All-flash systems that accelerate access to information for faster decision-making, analysis and productivity.
-Unified storage solutions that enable you to process more, and diverse, workloads in less time while driving capacity efficiencies.
-Unified compute solutions that deliver improved orchestration and automation and enhance the productivity of your IT staff, while avoiding costly over- or under-provisioning.
Reduce Costs and Complexity with Backup-Free StorageHitachi Vantara
The growth in unstructured data stresses traditional backup and restore operations. Numerous, disparate systems with large numbers of files and duplicate copies of data increase backup and restore times and hurt the performance and availability of production systems. Cost and complexity rise, with more backup instances to buy and manage, more care and handling of an increasing numbers of tapes, and more management of offsite storage. In addition, you may need to support analytics, a compliance audit, or legal action that needs information that is stored offsite. By tiering data to an archive, you can reduce total backup volume by at least 30%. By extending that core archive to the edges of your business, your potential gains are worth investigating. View this webcast to learn how to: Lower capital expenses (hardware, software, licensing, and so on). Control maintenance costs. Simplify management complexity. Reduce backup volume, time cost, and time and administrative effort.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Executive Summary
Organizations can deploy page-based data movement for Hitachi Dynamic Tiering (HDT) and
volume-based data movement by using Hitachi Tiered Storage Manager (HTSM) to create an opti-
mal and efficient data layout for any application.
The 2 can be used together to efficiently share resources across multiple applications and maximize
storage resource utilization. This white paper offers use cases that describe scenarios in which
HTSM and HDT can work together to maximize the benefits of tiered storage management. The use
cases also emphasize the fact that the 2 products together provide a powerful solution for optimiz-
ing storage system layout.

Introduction: Macro versus Micro Data
Movement
Page-based data movement delivers an automated, nondisruptive layout optimization in a storage
pool based on input/output (I/O) intensity. Hitachi Tiered Storage Manager volume-based data
movement delivers volume movement across internal and external storage tiers. Both types of
data movement are needed within a data center. The following are key scenarios that describe the
differences.
Case 1. Nondisruptively Deploy Existing
Application Data into Hitachi Dynamic Tiering
Pools
As a part of a Hitachi Dynamic Tiering deployment, existing application volumes need to be moved
into the HDT pools. Hitachi Tiered Storage Manager provides nondisruptive volume migration tech-
nology that enables volume migration across internal and external storage systems. The nondisrup-
tive nature of the migration provides organizations with the flexibility to deploy without waiting for
an application or data center maintenance window. It can drastically improve efficiency of the HDT
deployment.
HTSM v7.1.1 has eliminated the need to create migration groups. A new migration wizard enables
migration sources to be selected from logical group constructs, hosts or free-form volume filters
based on configuration and performance data. The performance data allows users to easily identify
hot and cold spots. The system auto-selects target volumes (a user override option is also provided)
and indicates expected performance (improve or decrease) after migration.
Once the migration tasks are created, the system provides an estimated completion time and allows
the migration task to be executed immediately or scheduled to be completed at a later date and
time (see Figures 1 and 2).

Case 2. Hitachi Dynamic Tiering Pool
Balancing: Move Volumes across HDT Pools
As application storage capacity grows over time, Hitachi Dynamic Tiering pools will reach a maxi-
mum either in capacity or I/O. This will require either a capacity increase of the HDT pool or a migra-
tion of the application volumes to another HDT pool with available resources to balance the pool
utilization.
Hitachi Tiered Storage Manager will enable users to nondisruptively rebalance the pools by moving
application volumes across the pools.
HTSM also provides specific reports to highlight the pool utilization (see Figure 3). These reports can
quickly highlight whether the pools are reaching a maximum and whether capacity or I/O threshold
have been exceeded.

Case 3. Cyclic Resource Utilization
Certain applications have cyclic I/O profiles (see Figure 4). For example, a quarterly billing applica-
tion, which experiences low I/O traffic for 11 weeks in quarter, has very high I/O activity during the
last week of the month when customer billing happens.

Using Hitachi Tiered Storage Manager volume-based mobility, the volumes can be nondisruptively
moved across storage pools of different compositions [pools with solid state disk (SSD), SAS or SATA
drives to pools with SAS or SATA drives] without impacting application availability. These would be
very effective for storage service providers and customers with cyclic I/O patterns.

Case 4. Hitachi Dynamic Tiering Pool
Rebalancing
Hitachi Dynamic Tiering provisioning has thresholds for overprovisioning. Once thresholds have been
exceeded, volumes may be moved, nondisruptively, to pools with more free space. Hitachi Tiered
Storage Manager allows this rebalancing to happen nondisruptively.
It also provides reports to quickly identify pools that will need rebalancing (see Figure 5).

Case 5. Reactive versus Proactive Movement
of Data
Hitachi Dynamic Tiering page movement is reactive in nature; i.e., pages are moved in reaction to
observed I/O patterns. There may be cases where organizations have predictive periods of high
activity for certain application volumes. Hitachi Tiered Storage Manager volume-based movement
can proactively or temporarily move such volumes to HDT pools appropriate for high I/O activity;
then, after the activity has subsided, the volume can be moved back to its original HDT pool (see
Figure 6). This can help organizations achieve a high level of operation efficiency without assigning
permanent Tier 1 storage resources to application that may not need them. It also allows resource
sharing across various applications.

Case 6. Hitachi Dynamic Tiering I/O
Scheduling
■■Hitachi Dynamic Tiering is designed to react to I/O density by moving high I/O activity pages to
higher storage tier disks.
■■By default, HDT is constantly monitoring I/O and making decisions to move data within the pool.

■■However, data center I/O cycles are not linear. There may be maintenance, backup and other
non-performance-sensitive time periods.
■■Hitachi Tiered Storage Manager mobility manager will enable HDT to adjust or schedule monitor-
ing windows to work around non-performance-sensitive time periods (see Figure 7).

maintenance hours of the week.
An example of the HDT Monitoring Schedule Template appears in Figure 8. It depicts scheduling
periods:
■■8:00 a.m. through 16:00 (4 p.m.) at 2-hour cycles, Monday through Friday
■■16:00 (4 p.m.) through 8:00 a.m. at 4-hour cycles, Monday through Friday
■■Saturday and Sunday using 12-hour cycles.
