The story about storage

Hoeveel storage u precies nodig heeft, is afhankelijk van de sector waarin u werkt. Daarom bouwen we elk IT-systeem op maat van uw bedrijf: of u nu actief bent bij de overheid, gezondheidssector, financiële sector, retail of het onderwijs. Welke opslagruimte u ook kiest, wij zorgen er steevast voor dat het systeem niet kan crashen. Zo beschikt u altijd over een reservekopie dankzij een geïntegreerde back-up Open-E JovianDSS ZFS snapshots.

Storage oplossingen op maat

Of u nu op zoek bent naar een back-up device, een JBOD-chassis of een volledig geconfigureerde storage, gecertificeerd voor uw Open-E, bij Ahead-IT kunt u altijd rekenen op technische knowhow, expertise en persoonlijk advies. Zo bent u er zeker van dat u de juiste keuze maakt.

Al onze storage servers in deze categorie zijn gecertificeerd voor Open-E JovianDSS ZFS software.

Open-E JovianDSS ondersteunt protocollen zoals iSCSI, NFS, fibre channel, SMB, CIFS en data/volume replication standaard.

Hierdoor zijn deze storage oplossingen uitermate geschikt voor:

  • High availability virtualisatie
  • Video
  • Big data
  • Cloud
  • VDI storage
  • Back-up
  • R&D 
Dataopslag aan een vriendelijke prijs

Momenteel zijn er 3 types opslag op de markt, van snel naar … minder snel:

  • NVME drive: flash opslag, wordt rechtstreeks op de PCI-e bus aangesloten van de CPU. Het gevolg is duidelijk, 10 keer lagere access time ten opzichte van SATA/SAS SSD’s en tot 1 000 000 IOPS per NVME drive. Extreem betrouwbaar, extreem snel, heel lage failure rate.
  • SATA en SAS SSD’s (Solid State Drives): eveneens flash opslag, hier geniet u van de hoogste performantie, soms wel 100 keer sneller dan nearline SATA/SAS. De hoogste IOPS en laagste access time. Helaas ligt de prijs per GB een stuk hoger dan bij nearline SATA/SAS. Extreem betrouwbaar, heel lage failure rate.
  • Nearline SATA/SAS drive: dit zijn de klassieke 7200 rpm disks. Niet snel, maar goedkoop per TB. Deze drives hebben bewegende onderdelen, hierdoor zijn ze minder slijtvast, betrouwbaar tot 5 jaar dienst.

Zpool Performance Rating

The performance Rating demonstrates the amount of effective performance when compared to single disk performance.
Example: A performance index of 4.6 is equal to the performance of 4.6 single disks without redundancy or striping.

Important: Zpool Performance Rating does not equal overall system performance as it is accelerated significantly by cache and by random I/O into sequential I/O conversion.

However, it may be important with sustained I/O. With sustained I/O, the pool that consists of 2 data groups is about twice faster than the pool with a single data group. Also, disk replacement or scrub speed scales with Zpool Performance Rating.

Performance rating does not take into account write log and read cache disks.

Expected annual zpool reliability

Expected annual zpool reliability

This parameter shows the level of expected reliability during a one year of typical zpool usage. To calculate it's value several factors were taken into account: expected reliability of the hard drive model and series as provided by the manufacturer and the redundancy level of the zpool. Values of this parameter below 99.0% are considered to be dangerous for the integrity of the data and such pools should not be deployed in any production environment.

The expected period of time for a year when zpool works in a reliable way, given the configuration and the possiblity of disk failure.

00.0%

Not recommended! Storage solutions with expected annual reliability below 99.0% should not be considered for any production deployment!

The calculation is based on the following parameters:

Zpool configuration

  • Number of datagroups:

    -

  • Amount of disks in data group:

    -

  • Amount of parity disks:

    -

Zpool reliability parameters

  • Mean Time To Repair (MTTR)2 in days:

Change parameters

You can use the default zpool reliability parameters or enter your own based on data provided by the disks vendor. More precise data make the result more accurate. Parameters description.

Parameters description

Mean Time To Repair (MTTR)

MTTR parameter represents the average time required to repair a failed disk.

Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF)

MTBF is the predicted elapsed time between failures during normal system operations.

Annual Failure Rate (AFR)

Annual Failure Rate is the parameter that represents the same information as MTBF, but expressed as a percentage. It is the probability of a disk failing during a single year. Which value will be available about specific disk depends on a disk vendor.

Gross unformatted storage capacity

The unformatted capacity of all disks, before RAID or disks mirroring is applied.

Net unformatted storage capacity

The unformatted capacity of all disks, after RAID or disks mirroring is applied.

Gross formatted storage capacity

The formatted capacity of all disks, before RAID or disks mirroring is applied. It is used to calculate the licensed capacity for RAID Z-1, Z-2 and Z-3.

Net formatted storage capacity

The formatted capacity of all disks, after RAID or disks mirroring is applied. This capacity is used to calculate the licensed capacity for mirrored arrays.

Usable data storage capacity

The actual usable capacity that is exported to the storage client. It is the result of multiplying net formatted storage capacity with the pool max used capacity factor.

Pool max used capacity factor

Open-E JovianDSS creates metadata to write and read the stored information, and it needs free space to work with the stored data and use features such as copy-on-write and snapshots. This is an estimated value of how much space should be reserved for these purposes.

1 Formatted storage capacity is shown in TiB (240 byte units), the same way operating systems calculate it. Hard drive manufacturers use TB (1012 byte units) based on the required license capacity. Because of that a normal capacity, e.g. formatting a 1TB hard disk will result in 931 GB space on drive, despite the 1000 GB claim on the label. More info in the article on our blog.

2 MTTR (Mean time to repair) represents the average time required to repair a failed disk.

3Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) is the predicted elapsed time between disks failures during normal system operations.

Pool performance Index

The disks in a data group work in unison, which means that their effective performance is the same as one disk, no matter how many there are. Additionally, more computing power is required when more data groups are used in a pool. The Performance Index demonstrates the amount of effective performance when compared to single disk.
Example: A performance index of 4.6 is equal to the performance of 4.6 single disks without redundancy or striping.

Select data group redundancy level

Please select Redundancy Level.

NO REDUNDANCY

1 disk per group

Data disk

There are no parity disks, the total capacity equals the capacity of all disks.

NO REDUNDANCY

This redundancy level is not allowed for selected system architecture.

A group consists only of a SINGLE disk. This configuration in scope of the Pool behaves as a regular RAID-0.

The "No redundancy" configuration DOES NOT accept any disk failures. This configuration should not be used for mission critical applications at all!

It is also recommended not to exceed 8 of SINGLE disks in the Pool because a single disk damage results in the destruction of the whole Pool. The chances of suffering disk failures increase with the number of disks in the Pool.

Important
The pool performance with SINGLE drive in each group is the highest possible and is increasing with the number of groups (disks) in the pool. For mission critical applications, it is recommended to use RAID-Z2 or RAID-Z3, or 3-way mirror instead of "No redundancy".

This configuration can be used with Hardware RAID volumes where redundancy is preserved on a hardware level.

Suitability for mission critical solutions:

2-WAY MIRROR

2 disks in a group

Data disk NODE A

Parity disk NODE B

Data disk Parity disk

1 disk is a parity disk. Total capacity equals the capacity of 1 disk.

2-WAY MIRROR

The chances of suffering multiple disk failures increase with number of MIRRORs in the Pool.

The 2-WAY MIRROR accepts single disk failure only per MIRROR group.
MIRRORs can be used for mission critical applications, but it is recommended not to exceed 12 MIRRORs in the Pool and to avoid HDDs bigger than 4TB (recommended up to 12*2=24 disks for mission critical applications and 24*2=48 disks for non-mission critical applications in the pool).

Note, the pool performance is increasing with number of MIRRORs in the pool. For mission critical applications and using disks bigger than 4TB or more than 12 groups, it is recommended to use 3-way MIRRORs or RAID-Z2 or RAID-Z3.

Suitability for mission critical solutions:

3-WAY MIRROR

3 disks in a group

Data disk Parity disk Parity disk

2 out 3 disks are parity disk. Total capacity equals the capacity of 1 disk.

3-WAY MIRROR

This redundancy level is not allowed for selected system architecture.

The chances of suffering multiple disk failures increase with number of MIRRORs in the Pool.

The 3-WAY MIRROR accepts up to two disks failures per 3-WAY MIRROR group.
3-WAY MIRRORs can be used for mission critical applications, but it is recommended not to exceed 16 MIRRORs in the Pool and to avoid HDDs bigger than 10TB (recommended up to 16*3=48 disks for mission critical applications in the pool and 24*3=72 disks for non-mission critical applications in the pool).

Note, the pool performance is increasing with number of MIRRORs in the pool. For mission critical applications and using disks bigger than 10TB, it is recommended to use RAID-Z3.

Suitability for mission critical solutions:

4-WAY MIRROR

4 disks in a group

Data disk Parity disk NODE A

Parity disk Parity disk NODE B

Data disk Parity disk Parity disk Parity disk

3 disks out of 4 are parity disks. Total capacity equals the capacity of 1 disk.

4-WAY MIRROR

The chances of suffering multiple disk failures increase with number of MIRRORs in the Pool.

The 4-WAY MIRROR accepts three disks failure per MIRROR group.
The 4-WAY MIRROR is recommended for METRO Cluster that can be used for mission-critical applications.

It is also recommended not to exceed 24 of 4-WAY MIRROR groups in the Pool because the single group damage results with the whole Pool destruction (recommended up to 24*4=96 disks for mission-critical applications in the pool). HDDs bigger than 16TB should be avoided.

Note, the pool performance is increasing with number of MIRRORs in the pool.

Suitability for mission critical solutions:

RAID-Z1

3-8 disks in a group

Data disk Dots Data disk Parity disk

1 disk in a data group may fail. Total capacity equals the sum of all disks
minus 1.

RAID-Z1

This redundancy level is not allowed for selected system architecture.

The chances of suffering multiple disk failures increase with number of disks in the RAID-Z1 group.

The RAID-Z1 accepts single disk failure only per RAID-Z1 group.
The RAID-Z1 can be used for NON-mission critical applications and it is recommended to not exceed 8 disks per group and to avoid HDDs bigger than 4TB.

It is also recommended not to exceed 8 RAID-Z1 groups in the Pool because the single group damage results with the destruction of the whole Pool (recommended up to 8*8=64 disks for non-mission critical applications in the pool).

Note, the pool performance is doubled with 2 * RAID-Z1 with 4 disks each comparing to single RAID-Z1 with 8 disks. For mission critical applications, it is recommended to use RAID-Z2 or RAID-Z3 or 3-way mirrors instead of RAID-Z1.

Suitability for mission critical solutions:

RAID-Z2

4-24 disks in a group

Data disk Dots Data disk Parity disk Parity disk

2 disks in a data group may fail. Total capacity equals the sum of all disks minus 2.

RAID-Z2

This redundancy level is not allowed for selected system architecture.

The chances of suffering multiple disk failures increase with number of disks in the RAID-Z2 group.

The RAID-Z2 accepts up to two disks failure per RAID-Z2 group.
The RAID-Z2 can be used for mission critical applications.

It is recommended not to exceed 12 disks per group for mission critical and 24 disks for NON-mission critical applications. It is also recommended to not exceed 16 of RAID-Z2 groups in the Pool because the single group damage results with the destruction of the whole Pool (recommended up to 16*12=192 disks for mission critical applications and 16*24=384 disks for non-mission critical in the pool). HDDs bigger than 16TB should be avoided.

Note, the pool performance is doubled with 2 * RAID-Z2 with 6 disks each comparing to single RAID-Z2 with 12 disks. If 3 disks failure per RAID group is required, it is recommended to use RAID-Z3.

Suitability for mission critical solutions:

RAID-Z3

5-48 disks in a group

Data disk Dots Data disk Parity disk Parity disk Parity disk

3 disks in a data group may fail. Total capacity equals the sum of all disks minus 3.

RAID-Z3

This redundancy level is not allowed for selected system architecture.

The chances of suffering multiple disk failures increase with number of disks in the RAID-Z3 group.

The RAID-Z3 accepts up to three disks failure per RAID-Z3 group.
The RAID-Z3 can be used for mission critical applications.

It is recommended not to exceed 24 disks per group for mission critical and 48 disks for NON-mission critical applications. It is also recommended to not exceed 24 of RAID-Z3 groups in the Pool because the single group damage results with the whole Pool destruction (recommended up to 24*24=576 disks for mission critical applications and 24*48=1152 disks for non-mission critical in the pool). HDDs bigger than 16TB should be avoided.

Note, the pool performance is doubled with 2 * RAID-Z3 with 12 disks each comparing to single RAID-Z3 with 24 disks.

Learn more about data redundancy in ZFS

The redundancy level sets the number of parity disks in a data group. This number specifies how many disks may fail without losing operation of the data group. Higher parity levels require more calculation from the system, which increases redundancy at the cost of performance.

RAID-Z is a data parity distribution scheme like RAID-5, but uses dynamic stripe width: every block is it's own RAID stripe, regardless of block size, resulting in every RAID-Z write being a full-stripe write. RAID-Z is also faster than traditional RAID-5 because it does not need to perform the usual read-modify-write sequence.

ZFS Pool design details

The Pool
A virtual storage pool is used by Open-E JovianDSS to control its data groups. The pool treats each data group as single device. This means that performance of the pool is dependent on the amount of groups and not the amount of total disks. For high performance installations, mirrors with 2 or 3 disks in each data group are recommended. In normal scenarios, redundancy levels Z-1, Z-2 and Z-3 are used to increase the pools capacity efficiency. Thanks to RAM and SSD Caching, enough performance for typical scenarios can still be achieved.

Data groups
Data groups are virtual devices that consist of any amount of HDDs or SSDs. It is very important to use the same disks for the whole pool. Data stored in the pool, is striped evenly over all data groups in order to maximize performance. Redundancy is provided by parity disks within each data group. Their amount is determined by the redundancy level. The number of parity disks equals the amount of disks that are allowed to fail within a data group without losing data.

Non-data groups
These groups are not included in the Storage License Calculator, because they don't affect the license's required storage capacity. Non-data groups are disks in read cache, write log and spares. Typically, SSDs are used for read cache and write log, to increase the systems overall performance. Spare disks are identical to the disks in the data group and available in the pool to replace faulty disks. None of these are used to store the original data, and are therefore not licensed by Open-E JovianDSS.
