FAST Cache Overview

• Support for file and block

• Extends mid-tier cache using Flash drives

– Adds up to 2 TB of cache

• Less than a third of the cost of DRAM

• Hot data automatically ends up in FAST Cache

• RAID 1 for Read/Write protection

• Transparent to SP failure, no need to warm up the cache

• Applicable to most workloads

FAST VP Operational Process• Statistics collection—cumulative I/O history (reads and writes)

– Weights recent I/O history above longer-term I/O history– Maintains relative ranking of all data in pool, based on tier preference and I/O history:

• Highest tier preference and high activity level get highest priority• Highest tier preference with less activity level get next highest priority• No tier preference (Auto-Tier) with high activity level gets next highest priority

• When a pool is created, it is detected in the next poll cycle for inclusion in statistics collection

– LUNs created in pool are likewise detected in the next poll cycle for inclusion in statistics collection

– Poll occurs every hour– Relocation estimate—“amount to move up/down”—updated every hour

• Tier utilization– Algorithm attempts to gain greatest utility from highest tiers

• Data is demoted as space is needed in top tiers

• Relocation granularity– Sub-LUN “slices” are 1 GB granularity

be added but not modified or deleted

source and snap)

Physical PIT Copies*

• Physically independent point-in-time copies of source volume

– Require the same space as the source data– Available after initial copy– No performance impact on source data– Can be used to replace source after hardware or software error
