2013 – Shared infrastructure? Let me know
when you know “for sure” it works. In the
meanwhile, a few industry pioneers / early
adopters start POC with EMC / VCE
2014 – Extend converged system
benefits with Isilon scale out – augment
enterprise app/data with Hadoop,
Splunk, no-SQL. Great performance!
2015 –Internet of things initiatives
accelerate. Rapid technological
advancements with architectural
flexibility - Vscale

A MAJOR
PRESSING
CHALLENGE

 Sub-optimal environment—data locked in
high volume, variety, or velocity.
 Lack of service-enablement—difficulties in
optimizing virtualized, multi-tenant service
approach.
 Compliance/security exposure—lack of
encryption, exposure, and data loss.
 Limited standardization—not using data
center standards.
 Downtime/SLA issues—not readily
configurable
to handle mixed workloads.
 System utilization—inefficient islands of
storage and systems, inability to reuse data for
multiple solutions.
 Long cycles for accessing and sharing
information locked in unstructured data.
 Cannot rapidly create value via technology-
enabled XaaS.
 Explicitly demonstrate security, compliance,
and governance.
 Inability to plan system progression that
combine structured/unstructured –
exacerbating silos of appliances and
hardwares
 Insufficient posture against outages and peak
period of IT use.
 Escalating deployment management and
maintenance costs for growing data.

vHadoop+Isilon Install & Deployment Guide

“Fix These Problems….Prove it Out!”
 Expensive and Won’t Scale
– Hundreds of Servers to support less than 2PB Usable Storage (1:7 ratio)
– “We have a guy with shopping carts walking down the rows replacing parts”
– Additional Staging Area for Data before Ingesting into Hadoop
– Can’t Scale Storage without Compute – Locked & Not Elastic
 Lacks Enterprise Features
– No Cost Effective Data Redundancy
– Limited File-system Security, only Simple Authentication
– Multiple Points of Failure
– Maintaining Hadoop “PODs” involves significant downtime
 Time To Results
– Requires Significant time to ingest and copy Data
– Building Production Hadoop “PODs” can take months
– Network Infrastructure Saturation & Expense

EMC Isilon – Only Security Compliant Datastore for
Hadoop
 Highly resilient architecture
– Robust data protection options (DR, Snapshots, SyncIQ)
– Clustered Multi-Point Name Node with Kerberos
– SEC 17a-4 compliant WORM
– Hadoop multi-tenancy with dedicated network and access zones
 Hadoop on Isilon provides full ACLs for NFS, SMB, and HDFS
– Each file/ directory has an Access Control List (ACL) consisting of one or more Access Control Entries
(ACE).
– Each ACE assigns a set of permissions (read, write, delete) to a specific security identifier (user or
group).
– Deny ACEs which remove permissions and override any “Allow ACEs”
 Standard Hadoop only provides basic Unix-type “Simple” permissions
– Effective permissions are determined based on the file owner (single user, single group, other/world)
– Read and/or write permissions can be assigned to the owner, the group, and “everyone else”
– What do you do when you need to assign read access to multiple groups (A, B & C)?
– What do you do when you need to assign read access to the group A and read+write access to group
B?
– How do you maintain permissions when files are copied from Windows NTFS shares?

Scale-out Isilon for Scale-out Hadoop
Compute
Nodes
 Isilon is a scale-out system; Hadoop
HDFS is partially similar
 HDFS on Isilon functions as a Parallel
file system
 Each compute node performs I/O on
every Isilon node in the Rack
 I/O bandwidth and storage capacity
can be increased linearly simply by
adding Isilon nodes
 Compute can be increased or
decreased on the fly and can easily be
virtualized
 With a mesh network that is faster
than the disks, data locality is
irrelevant

The ratio of compute and
disk space/performance is
fixed.
Non-local HDFS I/O (30-
90% of HDFS I/O) will go
through Ethernet.
Local disk usage is shared
between shuffle I/O (60%
of all I/O during terasort)
and HDFS I/O.
Core Network Switches Are
Additional Cost for
Hadoop+DAS
(more Network traffic required)

Hadoop Architecture – Isilon for HDFS
Reduced traffic across the Core Ethernet switch--HDFS traffic will only travel
within a rack and across IB.
