Microsoft’s Hyper-V is an attractive alternative to VMware and other hypervisors but maintaining application performance is still a key concern when virtualizing. The bottleneck almost always comes down to storage. Making sure that each virtualized application receives the right mix of storage capacity and I/O performance is critical for a positive user experience and a cost effective deployment. In this Slideshow experts from Storage Switzerland and Gridstore will introduce a new type of software defined storage platform, one that adapts to the virtual environment itself, to optimize and guarantee application performance in a cost efficient manner. In This Slideshow You Will Learn: -How To Guarantee Storage Performance for Specific Applications -How To Balance High Performance Storage & Cost Effective Storage -How To Scale To Meet Ever Increasing Storage Demands

Editor's Notes
- SDS Aligns the storage architecture with the architecture of virtualization.SDS starts with a clean slate and is purpose built for the virtualized data center.Following the same model of virtualizationFirst, we virtualize any number of X86 Storage Appliances into Storage Resource Pool. This allows you to start small and incrementally grow as you require storage.[CLICK]
- Second. In the same way that virtualization creates a new container the VM – SDS creates a new container – a Virtual Controller - that delivers a virtual storage stack to each VM.In effect, it recreates the 1:1 mapping from server to storage and eliminates the IO blender by Isolating IO from each VM.[CLICK]
- Now you are in a position to Optimize and prioritize IO for each VM.The result is that we can accelerate every VM.[CLICK]
- The third element of what we do is Manage storage on a Per VM basis.Now that you have IO isolated in a container for each VM, we can now manage that VM and its storage as a single cohesive unit.Now when you snapshot and replicate VMs 6 and 7, you only snap shot and replicate these VMs. You eliminates the bloated data services and save considerable amounts of capacity and time.[CLICK]
- Virtual Storage StackPuts original 1:1 stack back together again.Delivers optimized IO and predictable performanceGives you fine grained management control in one place.Manage everything as VMs – not LUNsSimple – cost effective – and gives you visibility when there are problemsTreats Storage Like Virtualized ComputeThere has to be storage somewhereLets you build shared storage resources in small or larger chunksCompletely virtualized and transparent to VMs – like server virtualization did for OS’sSo this is what SDS is – now lets look at how GS makes this a reality today and see what can it do for you.
- The Grid is purpose built for simple, and affordable scaling. vControllers encode data and stripe it across a set of nodesErasure coding allows you to dial in the number of faults for fault tolerant storage.vControllers accelerates I/O further by eliminating backplane networks and replicas that soak up as much as 50% IOPS.The Grid grows more powerful as it grows largerParallel Processing that grows as your environment growsParallel I/O that grows as you scale your GridCapacity that grows simply by adding blocks of capacity to your network.So now lets look at what the Grid delivers specifically for VM Backup.
