and non-disruptive data mobility for XtremIO Eliminates planned downtime for changing class of service, workload balancing, and technology refreshes
Organizations have rapidly adopted the EMC XtremIO all-flash scale-out enterprise storage array for their most I/O-intensive workloads including databases and analytics, virtual desktop infrastructures, and virtual server environments. XtremIO delivers new levels of real-world performance, administrative ease, and advanced data services, making the all-flash array competitive with spinning disk storage systems. The need to protect these mission-critical workloads and make them continuously available to prevent planned and unplanned outages or to replicate and recover to anywhere and to any point in time is as great as ever. Organizations are looking for ways to: •
Move workloads non-disruptively from spinning disk to flash and then back again to accommodate changes in class of service
•
Make application data continuously available even in the event of an array or full site failure
•
Replicate application data at any distance, to any array whether it be another flash array or spinning disk
•
Rapidly restore replicated data back to any point in time
Active-active continuous availability and mobility plus advanced disaster recovery EMC continues to accentuate its unique ability to address the full data protection continuum by offering continuous availability, mobility and disaster recovery for more storage platforms and multi-site configurations. EMC VPLEX, the industry leading continuous availability and data mobility platform, supports XtremIO all-flash arrays, delivering an active-active infrastructure and continuous operations for missioncritical applications, including VMware, Oracle RAC, and SAP. VPLEX enables non-disruptive data migrations to new storage arrays for changing class of service, workload balancing, and technology refreshes. Complementing VPLEX, EMC RecoverPoint provides concurrent local, remote and multisite replication for active/active VPLEX environments. Its continuous data protection allows recovery to any previous point in time for mission-critical applications. Together, VPLEX and RecoverPoint deliver MetroPoint topology, an industry-unique advanced continuous availability with continuous disaster recovery configuration that provides continuous operations for two data center sites, remote replication to a third site, and the ability to sustain a two-site failure with only a single disaster recovery copy. With these solutions, EMC raises the bar by combining the best of VPLEX Metro and RecoverPoint, offering the most resilient continuous availability and protection solution in the industry.
SOLUTION OVERVIEW
Changing class of service non-disruptively XtremIO X-Bricks service the most mission-critical applications with the highest I/O needs. As these applications progress through their development and production lifecycles, the ability to right-source the application performance, protection, and capacity needs to the appropriate class of storage service becomes paramount. When XtremIO volumes are presented by VPLEX, application data can be non- disruptively migrated from XtremIO X-Bricks to spinning disk arrays and back again, even during production. This allows a workload that has a periodic need for increased I/O performance, such as data analytics at the end of the quarter, to be migrated from spinning disk arrays to XtremIO. When the need for high performance is over, the application data can be returned to its original disk (or anywhere else in the VPLEX environment) non- disruptively.
Zero downtime, zero data loss XtremIO workloads are frequently the kinds of applications that cannot tolerate any downtime or data loss because of their business-critical nature. VPLEX can mirror application data across two arrays in a single data center or between two data centers across synchronous distance, creating an active-active mirror of the application data. If one side of the mirror fails, host I/O requests continue to be serviced by the remaining side. This is true for a component failure, an array failure or even a full site failure, resulting in truly zero RPO and RTO for application data.
Continuous data protection and remote replication When continuous availability isn’t enough and application data needs to be replicated to a third site for protection from operational failures and disasters, RecoverPoint can be used to replicate from XtremIO to any other XtremIO, VPLEX, VMAX, or VNX array synchronously or asynchronously anywhere in the world.
