• Term coined by Clayton Christensen in his book The Innovator's Dilemma to denote a technology that – aside (or because of) its technical merit has revolutionary economics

• Classic examples:> Digital photography disrupted film

Steamships disrupted sailing ships

Disruptive Innovation

Sun Confidential: Internal Only 2

> Steamships disrupted sailing ships

> Minicomputers disrupted mainframes

> EMC (with RAID- & cache-based storage) disrupted IBM in DASD

> Linux/x86 disrupted UNIX/RISC

• Often involve a redistribution of margin: lower overall margin but much higher volume and broader market

• Over time, the value in a storage product has trended from hardware to software...

• ...but storage hardware has remained unnecessarily custom (i.e., expensive and slow)

• Sun has built an appliance out of industry standard components (servers + JBODs): higher performing, cheaper

Why is the S7000 Series disruptive?


(servers + JBODs): higher performing, cheaper

• ...and because COGS of software is $0.00, Sun need not monetize the software directly – software development costs can be paid with marginal increase in revenue

• Adds up to disruption: 2X performance at ½ cost

• The 7000 Series would have been disruptive based on these economics alone, but along came flash memory...

• Flash memory now sits between DRAM and 15K RPM disk in terms of performance and price:> Flash is microseconds per op, where DRAM is nanoseconds and disk is

milliseconds

> Flash is tens of dollars per GB, where DRAM is hundreds of dollars per GB and disk is dollars per GB

The disruptive effects of Flash


• Seeing this trend, we integrated flash into a hybrid storage pool, where read-optimized flash is used as a cache

• Cache is up to 600GB in currently shipping products, but curves are steep: headed much higher (and much cheaper!)

• For random-read workloads, flash + 7200 RPM drives yields 4X performance of 15K RPM drives at ¼ cost!

• ARC – Adaptive Replacement Cache, the main ZFS memory cache in DRAM

• L2ARC – Level Two Adaptive Replacement Cache, extends the ARC into Read Optimized Solid State Disk Devices to provide a large read cache to accelerate reads

• ZIL – ZFS Intent Log is transactional, using Write Optimized Solid State Disk Devices provides a large cache to accelerate writes
