FlashCore: Variable Stripe RAID
Dynamic RAID Re-striping To Isolate & Bypass Media Failures
Failures of large capacity granularity, such as an entire flash chip or a plane or a die of a flash chip, are
isolated, reduced to the absolute minimum affected area, then bypassed.
The parity stripe containing the affected region is re-striped to no-longer contain the affected region
The remaining un-affected capacity remains in use
Such errors are "self-healing", the module will surgically cut them out and keep running
No loss in performance, usable capacity, or protection
No replacement necessary
No degraded state
No lengthy rebuild time
With VSR technology, multiple plane or chip failures do not result in lost usable capacity or
lost performance, and do not require the IBM MicroLatency module to be replaced

FlashCore: Resiliency Well Beyond SSDs
Numerous Media Failures Are Easily Tolerated
5.7TB IBM MicroLatency Module has almost 8.8TB total of raw flash (64 flash chips)
If failures are distributed across the 4 controllers in a 5.7TB IBM MicroLatency Module
Can lose up to 2.29TB of flash capacity (almost 573GB per flash controller) before failing
Over a quarter of the flash on the module can fail before it needs to be replaced.
10 of the 64 flash chips can fail without any issue
When the 11th fails, the module will issue a warning, but continue to run
When the 17th chip fails, the module is failed and the system-level protection is engaged
If the failures are localized to a single controller, divide those numbers by 4...
3 chip failures on a single controller (controlling 16 flash chips) will trigger a warning
5 flash chip failures (of the 16 total) will trigger the failure
Compare this to an off the shelf SSD which can sustain approximately of a flash chip failure
before failing the entire drive!

In-Line Data Reduction Processing
Pattern Removal is a special case of deduplication. We essentially take
Data reduction methods: the hash of the data and compare that to the hash of known patterns. If
8KB pattern detection a match is found, we can use that hash to reference the data.
