This document discusses Hitachi Data Systems' (HDS) support for VMware vSphere Virtual Volumes (VVol). It summarizes HDS's VVol capabilities including native support with HNAS and VSP storage arrays, VASA provider virtual appliances, storage container management, VM storage policies, and data protection features like hardware snapshot offloading. It also discusses how VVols can provide automated storage tiering and migration to better match changing VM requirements over time.

Editor's Notes

  1. Our integrated portfolio can be your foundation for achieving this vision.
  2. Legend: CA – Certificate Authority VC – Virtual Center ([TB] is this also “vCenter” or is it something different? If different, it should be explained) SMS - Storage Management Services VP – VASA Provider PE – Protocol Endpoint VASA – vStorage APIs for Storage Awareness SPBM – Storage Policy Based Management

  4. Talk about storage policies and storage containers..
  5. VM Level hardware snapshot.. How can you ensure efficient snapshot and clone operations and manage snapshot space with 1000’s of VMs… with VM level hardware snapshot awareness An ability to Snap/Clone at individual VMDK allows the combination of HNAS and V2I to be judicious in what gets` snapped. A fraction of the files are actually snapped.. less data to store, less data to replicate Good example is swap files or log files that are part of VM. These can/are excluded, ensuring unnecessary space is not accumulated with changes to those files Also, with VM level granularity, if there is a subset of VMs that need to be protected, you can protect just those, ensuring that delta changes in other non-essential VMs are not consuming snapshot space, as would occur with volume level snapshots.
  6. Efficient VM Data Protection Robust VM level backup integrated with storage based snapshots. Zero backup window by leveraging highly integrated storage based snapshots efficient backup capacity management by virtue of E.g. 1 TB backup completes in seconds consuming zero space. Supports all Hitachi Enterprise Storage, File and Block (VSP G1000,VSP, VSP G and HUSVM and HNAS) [except older HUS] Simplified Operations Empower VM admin with robust backup management and restore control within their native vSphere Web UI. One console for file and block. Flexible: Create backup policies at VM, datastore, vApp and V2I group level and have VMs be auto-protected as they are provisioned to ensure no missed VMs It provide for automated backup of new VMs on API enabled to allow integration with enterprise-wide DP solutions such as HDID Fast and Predictable Recovery Efficient capacity usage for backups leading to more recovery point (RPOs) in times. Instead of once a day, schedule once an hor.. Virtual Machine recovery is instantaneous, whether block or file App consistent backup checkbox for Windows/Linux Apps and DBs Search and recover individual VM data faster by accessing individual VMDK snapshot data via built in mount snapshot operations.
