File-level deduplication
34 Copyright 2011 EMC Corporation. All rights reserved.
VNXe File-Level Deduplication and
Compression Architecture
Deduplication processes:
Policy engine scans all production files looking for
data that meets certain criteria:
Last accessed/modified time, minimum/
maximum size, file extension, directory
Or, files selected via API
Candidates are compressed
Duplicated files are removed by using SHA-1 or
byte-by-byte data comparison
Stubs point to files in the hidden deduplication store
Deduplication is transparent to clients:
Process runs in the background
Files pre- and post processing look the same
Hidden deduplication store is a working area that
is not visible
Reads decompress data in memory, not on disk
Writes are stored alongside deduplicated data
Modifying one instance of a file has no impact on
other deduplicated instances

VNXe FILE SYSTEM
VNXe File Deduplication and
Compression: Data Modification
File modification does not cause file to be
reinflated:
Allows targeting large files (Terabytes sized),
and files that may show some level of activity
while preserving user experience on access to
these files
Deduplicated files can be modified while
still preserving commonality:
New data is stored alongside old
File is either reinflated or reprocessed
when new+old reaches logical file size:
Reinflated if selected for deduplication by the
internal policy engine
Reprocessed if selected for deduplication via
API

Data Protection
37 Copyright 2011 EMC Corporation. All rights reserved.
VNXe: Takes Care of the Complexities of
Data Protection
Problem:
Calculating the space required for data protection is complicated. It
require formulas and an intimate understanding of underlying
snapshot and replication technology.
Typical Result:
Data Protection either gets slapped together in a probably should
work fashion, or a Professional Services engagement is required.
VNXe eliminates complexity by:
Integrating best practices for provisioning data protection reserve
space
Easy to configure snapshot schedules and Application Consistent
Snapshots
Simplified replication configuration and management




38 Copyright 2011 EMC Corporation. All rights reserved.
VNXe provisioning best practices also cover Data
Protection storage










Application specific best practices for data protection space.
Thin provisioning aware: Applications using thin provisioning will not require as much
data protection storage.
Auto-adjustment of Data Protection space as your production storage resource
grows


Data Protection Storage
Recommendations
39 Copyright 2011 EMC Corporation. All rights reserved.
Snapshots
40 Copyright 2011 EMC Corporation. All rights reserved.
Shared Folder snapshots use Copy On first Write
(COW)
Snapshot creation and deletion is very quick
The space required for snapshots continues to grow as
changes are made to the production volume
iSCSI snapshots use Redirect on Write (ROW)
Snapshot creation is very quick
Perfect for your latency sensitive applications
Snapshots dont grow once created

The differences between Shared Folder
& iSCSI snapshots
41 Copyright 2011 EMC Corporation. All rights reserved.
Example: VNXe Shared Folder Snapshot
Provides a read-only or read-write, point-in-time
view of data
File system-level or iSCSI LUN view
Multiple snapshot versions 96 r/o + 16 r/w
Typically has a 10% capacity overhead
Primary applications include
Simple user initiated file un-deletes
Efficient logical backup and restore
Copy on first write technology
Avoids fragmentation of primary FS
One side file data protection space for all file system
snaps
Automatic extension of data protection space
Online full file system instant restore from any
snap
Snaps can be deleted out of order

Snapshots Consistency Options
Crash consistent snapshots
VNXe provides the ability to create manual and
scheduled crash consistent snapshots through
Unisphere
Shared Folder:
Crash consistent snaps are acceptable
iSCSI:
Good for an emergency. Only applicable to applications with a
single virtual disk

43 Copyright 2011 EMC Corporation. All rights reserved.
Snapshots and Application Consistency
iSCSI Application consistent snapshots
Using 3
rd
party backup applications
Leverages the VSS framework for Microsoft Applications to
create Hardware Snapshots for the application
Preferred Solution: Using the Application Protection
Suite
Application protection Suite includes Replication Manager (RM)
software
An RM agent runs on the host, which guarantees the
applications using the storage are quiesced prior to creating
snapshots
Leverages the VSS framework for Microsoft Applications
For applications with multiple virtual disks, Application Sets
ensure consistency across all the storage resources
Exchange will automatically undergo snapshot consistency
checks following the creation of the snapshot
44 Copyright 2011 EMC Corporation. All rights reserved.

Shared Folder: User initiated recovery using hidden
