Statistics
A traditional hard drive leveraged rotating platters and
heads to read data from a magnetic device, comparable
to a traditional record player; while flash storage
leveraged electronic media, or flash memory, to vastly
improve performance. Flash eliminates rotational delay
and seek time, functions that add latency to traditional
storage media.
Fully automated storage tiering (FAST) automatically
moves active data to higher performance storage tiers
and inactive data to low-cost, high-capacity storage
tiers. The result is higher performance, lower costs, and a
denser footprint than conventional systems.
As the university grows and its services increase so does
the burden on the storage system. Hence, a multi-tiered
storage system with automated data movement provides
the best solution for managing the data explosion
University is experiencing.
The aim of the project is to efficiently utilize the exiting
middle tier (Serial Attached SCSI – SAS) as performance
storage tier and use the Solid State Drives (SSD) as
extreme-performance storage tier to increase application
performance by up to 800 percent and the Near Line
Serial attached SCSI (NL-SAS) as high-capacity storage tier
to lower costs by up to 80 percent overall the VNX7600
Storage System.
Licensing the VNX7600 with EMC RecoverPoint to provide
continuous data protection with multiple recovery
points to restore applications instantly to a specific point
in time as part of the Business Continuity and Disaster
Recovery Plans in UAEU.
Information has become a major commodity in our
daily lives. We are producing massive amounts of data
daily. At UAEU Students, Staff and faculty members take
advantage of readily available IT resources and services
to send and receive e-mails, share documents and videos,
and use many other applications. With so much data out
there, the need for an efficient solution to Data Storage
becomes extremely important.
