are used to track the data to be replicated as well as to determine the differences in data updated on the primary volume, minimizing the amount of data to be transferred.

• HPE Remote Snap replication technology provides the ability to accomplish key data management and protection capabilities. First, because Remote Snap uses snapshots as the underlying technology it creates multiple local recovery points which can be used for such tasks as to complement daily backups; second, replication provides the ability to access data in a remote site which could be used for dispersed operations; and third but definitely not least important replication allows for business continuance in the event of a failure on the primary site.

• In order to perform a replication, a snapshot of the volume to be replicated is taken, creating a point-in-time image of the data. This point-in-time image is then replicated to the destination volume by copying the data represented by the snapshot via a transport medium such as TCP/IP (iSCSI) or Fibre Channel. The amount of data transferred is minimized though the use of snapshots whenever possible.

• Storage based asynchronous snapshot replication

• Support of both Ethernet and Fibre Channel interconnects provides flexible options to the application environments.

• Snapshot based replication technology means only changed data will be replicated to alternate site

• Many to 1 replication (up to 4 nodes) - primary use case is to replicate from "many" branch offices to the home office for

the purpose of backing up data from the branches

A user interface element called “I/O Workload” has been added to the main screen on MSA’s WBI home screen for GL270 or later firmware. The MSA array controllers keep track of a substantial amount of data pertaining to the I/O dynamics at a logical page level (4MB chunks). From this data, it is possible to provide some visibility to what percent (%) of I/O’ percent (%) of the overall array’s capacity across a 7 day timeline. While some workloads have “transient” data access patterns, many workloads have steady access patterns on small portions of the array’s capacity. This produces “ remain hot a large amount of the array’s uptime. Users would see substantial benefits if these pages could be served from the fastest media in the array (ideally SSDs).As has been described in the MSA’ work to position the hottest pages on the fastest media at any given time.

New User or SSD Installation

- Once the MSA array is installed and has had workloads running against it for a week’s time, the I/O Workload data will

give a representation of what Capacity is servicing 100% of I/O and 80% of I/O. Users may select a custom % value if desired. In a new installation or in an installation with no SSD tier installed, the 80% line is a reasonable starting point for an SSD tier. Based on SSD RAID settings, customers can then calculate a good starting point with regard to SSD tier sizing based on that week’s workload. While not a hard-fast rule, it is a good starting point. These values should also be compared to the Best Practices “rule of thumb” which suggest that 5-15% of the array’s capacity should be SSDs for tiered solutions.

• Users with existing SSD tiering or read caching installed and running

- For arrays running with SSDs installed (tiered or read cache), the I/O Workload graph will have a dotted line which

shows the installed SSD capacity. The I/O Workload graphs can be checked periodically to see where the 80% I/O line is with regard to the SSD capacity line. While there are no hard and fast rules which indicate good/bad situations, users can use the graph with other system performance tools to better understand specific dynamics of their installation and the normal dynamics of a system in the day-to-day activities for a specific environment.

Interpreting the I/O Workload graphs allow users to strike a balance between the SSD costs versus performance benefits. For example, some customers may be willing to have a couple of days where peak usage is far above the SSD capacit acceptable to have slower performance as the system uses HDDs for a larger percentage of the workload I/O. This may be perfectly acceptable for systems sized to optimize $/TB due to budget constraints. Other users may want to optimize the system such that a sizeable percentage of daily I/O can reside on SSD media (sized to 80% or 90%). When combined with other performance monitoring tools, the I/O Workload function gives users some representation as to how the workloads and the MSA

MSA array. Popular use cases include departmental MSA storage replicated to enterprise storage, enterprise storage replicated into MSA array, or protect MSA workloads into the cloud.

Zerto operates on the hypervisor level and includes orchestration and automation built-in to enable faster recovery of workloads (RTO in minutes) at much lower Recovery Point Objective (RPO of seconds) available through other data protection tools like backup. Zerto is also a workload mobility tool and allow IT to confidently move workloads and data across heterogeneous storage or cloud.

Ordering, configuring and installing Zerto is simple. Zerto is licensed by number of Virtual Machines that are being protected or moved. For mobility use cases, order the appropriate number of migration licenses needed. For replication use cases, order the appropriate quantity of Zerto Virtual Replication licenses using a combination of the tiered licenses plus the corresponding maintenance part numbers. The license is independent of source and target array size, type or capacity being replicated. See the HPE Complete/Zerto Quickspec for a complete list of part numbers. A corresponding MSA Advanced Data Services LTU is not required for data replication when using Zerto Virtual Replication. An MSA Advanced Data Services LTU would be required if deploying MSA array-based replication.

Zerto installs as a virtual machine under VMware or Hyper-V or in the Cloud as a VM in AWS and Azure in minutes Zerto does not install any components in the guest operating system and does not depend on any specific configuration of the storage or use MSA array or VMware snapshots to replicate and recover applications.

Zerto virtual replication is available on HPE Catalog via HPE Complete program. For more information on the HPE Complete – Zerto solution, visit;

MSA Health Check is a cloud-based tool that provides users insight into the general health of their MSA array. The tool uses a powerful rules-based analytics engine which can predict failures before they happen. The MSA Health Check tool performs a full sweep of analytics and checking thousands of data points from sensors inside the MSA array. The analytics engine will pick up common failure signatures and check against MSA best practices producing a simple, easy to digest PDF report with status and suggested courses of action to correct anything found in the scan. The tool is free of charge to HPE MSA customers. The MSA Health Check tool is supported across all current MSA 1050/2050/2052 arrays as well as the prior two generations of arrays (MSA P2000 G3 and MSA 1040/2040/2042). The tool is available immediately at:

Notes: End-to-End performance notes

Other types of sequential workloads that target specific LBA ranges may achieve higher results.

The performance figures provided here are for reference as many variables exist between array configurations, workloads, hard drive types, disk group setup parameters and host system setup. Hewlett Packard Enterprise has traditionally published a set of end-to-end MSA performance specifications that are fed into HPE Sizer tools which are based on conservative real-world

- 1Performance results were generated using internal HPE test tools. Number and type of applications, drive type and

number of drives, operating system used, and the number of hosts will affect overall performance. This table is provided strictly as a test-lab comparison.

Dual Controller configuration, (8) SSDs, RAID: 1, two drives per Disk Group; two Disk Groups per Pool, 2 volumes per Pool,

block size: 8k, average latency under 5ms, Windows Server 2012 host, 16Gb FC direct connect to array.

Dual Controller configuration, (72) 15k HDD, RAID: 5, nine drives per Disk Group, 4 Disk Groups per Pool, 32 volumes per

Pool, block size: 256k, average latency under 30ms, Windows Server 2012 host, 16Gb FC direct connect to array.

Sequential performance numbers were generated using segmented sequential workloads. For segmented sequential

workloads with a queue depth greater than 1, each sequential stream is targeted to operate on a separate LBA range.

- **RAID 1 was used for SSD testing.

- Number and type of applications, drive type and number of drives, operating system used, and the number of hosts will

affect overall performance. This table is provided strictly as a test-lab comparison. These numbers reflect a full array configuration with the maximum number of front-end ports and controllers. The test results shown for the HPE MSA 2050 are designed to give a conservative reference point for comparisons.

Sequential tests (MB/s) are based on 256K block sizes and random tests (IOPS) are based on 8K block sizes run against the storage. For sequential workloads with a queue depth greater than 1, each sequential stream is targeted to operate on a separate LBA range. Other types of sequential workloads that target specific LBA ranges may achieve higher results. Results cannot be expected with a single host.

- 2Fibre Channel results were measured using 16 Gb FC Host Bus Adapters. SAS results were measured using 12 Gb SAS

Host Bus Adapters. 10 GbE iSCSI results were measured using 10GbE iSCSI Host Bus Adapters. 1 GbE iSCSI results were measured using 1GbE network interface controllers (NICs). Hosts were directly attached to the HPE MSA 2050 array.
