7. What is Dell EMC ScaleIO?
• Installs on industry-standard x86 servers that run databases,
hypervisors, or any other applications
• Aggregate applications servers’ local disks
• Add storage and/or compute on the fly
Software that uses
application servers
to create an elastic,
scalable, and
resilient server SAN
at a fraction of the
cost and complexity
of traditional SANs
ScaleIO Software
Minimal footprint:
• 1 GB RAM
• Max 10% cpu for all HDD
configurations
• Max 20% cpu for all flash
configurations
Big results!

SCALEIO & OPENSTACK

10. OPENSTACK EXTENSIONS FOR SCALEIO
• Why create the extensions?
– Orchestrates ScaleIO deployments along with all other OpenStack components
– Makes storage much simpler to deploy
– Provides the user with a unified experience
– Enables OpenStack customers to get to production with ScaleIO faster
• What do they do?
– Deploys all components of ScaleIO with few inputs
– Deployment is done using the native framework of that distribution
– Deploys ScaleIO in a consistent way that should provide stability to the entire
deployment

11. PARTNER EXTENSIONS

12. Key ScaleIO Software Defined Storage takeaways:
• Reliable
– Rock solid Software Defined Storage which easily support 5x9’s or higher levels of availability. Easy to
manage and upgrade.
• Flexible
– Scale-up & down, support multiple environments: VMware, Hyper-V, OpenStack & bare metal with one
solution.
– Easy to scale, supporting cloud infrastructure requirements
• High Performance with tiny footprint: http://www.storagereview.com/node/5992
– Fastest most scalable storage solution, virtually no limits, sub ms RT with SSD/Flash
– Predictable performance no matter the application type (scale-out & scale-up!)
– 10-20% cpu & memory 10’s of MB’s to a few GB drives record breaking performance
• Highly scalable
– Start small grow big without worry
– Scale compute & storage independently
• Tremendous value
– 505% ROI -> source IDC paper https://www.emc.com/collateral/white-papers/idc-business-value-of-vxrack-

14. Magic Quadrant for Distributed File Systems and Object
Storage
– October 2016
Dell EMC has two products that are included in this research:
Dell EMC Isilon and Dell EMC Elastic Cloud Storage (ECS). With
Isilon, a mature scale-out NAS product with deployment across
many enterprises and service provider verticals and
geographies, end users consolidate large datasets onto one
distributed file system for high scalability and throughput. ECS is
a platform that supports object, NFS and Hadoop Distributed File
System (HDFS), with the ability to store billions of objects for
cloud-native applications.

20. What about PaaS & Linux containers
NoSQL is often the first option used to store unstructured content
Linux
containers

21. But is NOSQL the right solution ?
Not really
• NOSQL DB are designed to store XML documents,
metadata, …
• But, they are not efficient to store unstructured content (ex:
they protect data by creating several replicas)
• And they are in the data path
• Object storage is the de facto solution

24. Cloud Optimization for Service Providers
CHALLENGES
• Rising access time
• High document processing time
• A large number of documents
• Growing size of documents
“The most impressive thing with
ECS was the fact that real-life
performance appeared twice as
high and more effective.
