Enhanced Stretched Cluster with ‘Site Awareness’
SVC
 Existing stretched cluster support limitations
– No manual failover capability
– Solution typically sends data across the long distance link twice
 Addressed by adding concept of ‘site awareness’
– Police IO traffic in failure conditions to allow manual cluster invocation to ensure
consistency
 Support notes
– Stretched cluster hardware installation guidelines remain the same
– Use of enhanced stretch cluster is optional, existing stretch cluster configurations will
continue to be supported, however customers are encouraged to use the new feature
for its benefits
– Should be possible to convert an existing stretched cluster to an enhanced stretch
cluster non-disruptively any time after upgrade has completed

IBM Storwize Family Update: More performance. More efficiency. No compromises.
Bridgeworks SANSlide
SVC
V3700
 IP connections may have long latency
– Long distance connections
– Many network “hops”
 Traditional solutions transmit data, wait for response,
transmit more data
– Results in poor network utilization, as low as 20%
– Worse as latency becomes higher
 Bridgeworks SANSlide technology integrated with
Storwize family IP replication
– No separate appliances required
– No additional cost
 Uses artificial intelligence technology to transmit data streams in
parallel
– Automatically adjusts to changing network latency
– Improves network bandwidth utilization up to 3x
– Independent of application or data type
 Deploy less costly network infrastructure
 Speed replication cycles for better remote data currency and
faster recovery

Definition
Benefits
 Allows multiple users at different locations to be
 Allows significantly more
able to write to the same fileset at a particular site
 Each site will revalidate the file/directory with home
periodically
 On a data update, before pushing the writes to the
home the cache site acquires a lock on the file at
home. The lock is released after the pending writes
are completed.
 The home data will not see partial updates from
two sites due to the locking but can still allow
merge of writes from both sites controlled by
locking.
