•Are you familiar
with RAID ?
RAID 0
• Data is striped across the HDDs in a RAID set
• The stripe size is specified at a host level for software
RAID and is vendor specific for hardware RAID
• When the number of drives in the array increases,
performance improves because more data can be read
or written simultaneously
• Used in applications that need high I/O throughput
• Does not provide data protection and availability in the
event of drive failures
RAID 1
• Mirroring is a technique whereby data is stored
on two different HDDs, yielding two copies of
data.
• In addition to providing complete data
redundancy, mirroring enables faster recovery
from disk failure.
• Mirroring involves duplication of data — the
amount of storage capacity needed is twice the
amount of data being stored. Therefore,
mirroring is considered expensive
• It is preferred for mission-critical applications
that cannot afford data loss
Nested RAID
• Mirroring can be implemented with striped RAID by
mirroring entire stripes of disks to stripes on other disks
• RAID 0+1 and RAID 1+0 combine the performance
benefits of RAID 0 with the redundancy benefits of RAID
1
• These types of RAID require an even number of disks,
the minimum being four.
• RAID 0+1 is also called mirrored stripe.
• This means that the process of striping data across
HDDs is performed initially and then the entire stripe is
mirrored.
Nested RAID
• RAID 1+0 is also called striped mirror
• The basic element of RAID 1+0 is that data is
first mirrored and then both copies of data are
striped across multiple HDDs in a RAID set
• Some applications that benefit from RAID 1+0
include the following:
• High transaction rate Online Transaction
Processing (OLTP),Database applications that
require high I/O rate, random access, and high
availability
RAID 3
• RAID 3 stripes data for high performance
and uses parity for improved fault
tolerance.
• Parity information is stored on a dedicated
drive so that data can be reconstructed if a
drive fails
• RAID 3 is used in applications that involve
large sequential data access, such as
video streaming.
RAID 4
• Stripes data across all disks except the
parity disk at the block level
• Parity information is stored on a dedicated
disk
• Unlike RAID 3 , data disks can be
accessed independently so that specific
data elements can be read or written on a
single disk without read or write of an
entire stripe
RAID 5
• RAID 5 is a very versatile RAID implementation
• The difference between RAID 4 and RAID 5 is the parity
location.
• RAID 4, parity is written to a dedicated drive, while In
RAID 5, parity is distributed across all disks
• The distribution of parity in RAID 5 overcomes the write
bottleneck.
• RAID 5 is preferred for messaging, medium-performance
media serving, and relational database management
system (RDBMS) implementations in which database
administrators (DBAs) optimize data access
RAID 6
• RAID 6 works the same way as RAID 5 except that RAID
6 includes a second parity element
• This enable survival in the event of the failure of two
disks in a RAID group.
• RAID-6 protects against two disk failures by maintaining
two parities
Hot Spare
• A hot spare refers to a spare HDD in a RAID array that
temporarily replaces a failed HDD of a RAID set.
• When the failed HDD is replaced with a new HDD, The
hot spare replaces the new HDD permanently, and a
new hot spare must be configured on the array, or data
from the hot spare is copied to it, and the hot spare
returns to its idle state, ready to replace the next failed
drive.
• A hot spare should be large enough to accommodate
data from a failed drive.
• Some systems implement multiple hot spares to improve
data availability.
• A hot spare can be configured as automatic or user
initiated, which specifies how it will be used in the event
of disk failure
What is an Intelligent Storage System
• Intelligent Storage Systems are RAID arrays that are:
Highly optimized for I/O processing
Have large amounts of cache for improving I/O
performance
Have operating environments that provide:
– Intelligence for managing cache
– Array resource allocation
– Connectivity for heterogeneous hosts
– Advanced array based local and remote replication
options
Components of an Intelligent
Storage System
• An intelligent storage system consists of
four key components: front end, cache,
back end, and physical disks.
Components of an Intelligent
Storage System
•
•
•
•
The front end provides the interface between the storage system and the host.
It consists of two components: front-end ports and front-end controllers
The front-end ports enable hosts to connect to the intelligent storage system, and has
processing logic that executes the appropriate transport protocol, such as SCSI,
Fibre Channel, or iSCSI, for storage connections
Front-end controllers route data to and from cache via the internal data bus. When
cache receives write data, the controller sends an acknowledgment
Components of an Intelligent
Storage System
• Controllers optimize I/O
processing by using
command queuing
algorithms
• Command queuing is a
technique implemented on
front-end controllers
• It determines the execution
order of received
commands and can reduce
unnecessary drive head
movements and improve
disk performance
Intelligent Storage System: Cache
• Cache is an important component that enhances the I/O
performance in an intelligent storage system.
• Cache improves storage system performance by isolating hosts
from the mechanical delays associated with physical disks, which
are the slowest components of an intelligent storage system.
Accessing data from a physical disk usually takes a few milliseconds
• Accessing data from cache takes less than a millisecond. Write data
is placed in cache and then written to disk
Cache Data Protection
• Cache mirroring: Each write to cache is held in
two different memory locations on two
independent memory cards
• Cache vaulting: Cache is exposed to the risk of
uncommitted data loss due to power failure
• using battery power to write the cache content to
the disk storage vendors use a set of physical
disks to dump the contents of cache during
power failure
Intelligent Storage System: Back End
• It consists of two components: back-end ports and back-end
controllers
• Physical disks are connected to ports on the back end.
• The back end controller communicates with the disks when
performing reads and writes and also provides additional, but
limited, temporary data storage.
• The algorithms implemented on back-end controllers provide error
detection and correction, along with RAID functionality. Controller
• Multiple controllers also facilitate load balancing
Intelligent Storage System:
Physical Disks
• Disks are connected to the back-end with
either SCSI or a Fibre Channel interface
What is LUNs
• Physical drives or groups of RAID protected drives can
be logically split into volumes known as logical volumes,
commonly referred to as Logical Unit Numbers (LUNs)
High-end Storage Systems
• High-end storage systems,
referred to as active-active
arrays, are generally aimed at
large enterprises for
centralizing corporate data
• These arrays are designed
with a large number of
controllers and cache memory
• An active-active array implies
that the host can perform I/Os
to its LUNs across any of the
available Paths
Midrange Storage Systems
• Also referred as Active-passive arrays
• Host can perform I/Os to LUNs only
through active paths
• Other paths remain passive till active
path fails
• Midrange array have two controllers,
each with cache, RAID controllers and
disks drive interfaces
• Designed for small and medium
enterprises
• Less scalable as compared to high-end
array

DAS
DAS
Direct-Attached Storage (DAS)
• storage connects directly to servers
• applications access data from DAS using
block-level access protocols
• Examples:
• internal HDD of a host,
• tape libraries, and
• directly connected external HDD
DAS
Direct-Attached Storage (DAS)
• DAS is classified as internal or external, based on
the location of the storage device with respect to
the host.
• Internal DAS: storage device internally
connected to the host by a serial or parallel bus
• distance limitations for high-speed connectivity
• can support only a limited number of devices,
and
• occupy a large amount of space inside the
host
DAS
Direct-Attached Storage (DAS)
• External DAS: server connects directly to the
external storage device
• usually communication via SCSI or FC
protocol.
• overcomes the distance and device count
limitations of internal DAS, and
• provides centralized management of
storage devices.
DAS Benefits

protocols
•ATA/IDE and SATA – Primarily for internal bus
• SCSI
– Parallel (primarily for internal bus)
– Serial (external bus)
• FC – High speed network technology
DAS Connectivity Options
• protocols are implemented on the
HDD controller
• a storage device is also known by
the name of the protocol it supports
DAS Management

data addressing
•Internal – Host (or 3rd party software)
provides:
• Disk partitioning (Volume
management)
• File system layout
DAS Management
• External
– Array based management
– Lower TCO for managing
data and storage Infrastructure
DAS Challenges
• limited scalability
