Flash Reality – Deterministic High Performance

Performance Gap

From 1980 to 2010, CPU performance has grown 60% per year*

…and yet, disk performance has grown ~5% per year during that same period**

Minimal application changes needed – non-disruptive

Can co-exist with any other storage vendors – no rip-replace

Flash is quick and easy to deploy – various methods of deployment

Flash has a quick ROI – minimum 3X performance improvement

Flash Solves Business Problems – TODAY

increase CPU (Application) efficiency decrease time to operation results unlock scale of users or processes provide the best end user experience


IBM Storage

Why is Latency So Important?

Consider Little’s Law of mathematical queue theory as it applies to Application Performance

Now let’s see how FlashSystem alters this equation

Q = the number of parallel threads running in the application

t = the Time it takes for an IO request to be serviced

R = Result, typically measured in IOPS or BandwidthLet’s Assign Values to this equation:

That’s a 50X improvement in response time and amount of work completed!

IBM Storage

Patented VSR allows RAID stripe sizes to vary.

If one die fails in a ten-chip stripe, only the failed die is bypassed, then data is restriped across the remaining nine chips.

VSR reduces maintenance intervals caused by Flash failures

Variable Stripe RAID™ (VSR)

Variable Stripe RAID means a “grab from” the over-provisioning pool is only done after 8 bad block or bad plane failures, whereas the competition will need to “grab from” the over-provisioning pool after every failure
