Lenovo HX hyperconverged infrastructure with Nutanix software sets IT departments free

It’s a long word for an easy idea. Hyperconverged infrastructure1 combines x86-based compute, networking, and storage in simple, single appliances. They scale easily as you grow: just add another appliance. Costs are lower than legacy systems. And you can manage their entire infrastructure through a single, intuitive interface.

Now, the industry leader2 in server reliability and the market leader in hyperconvergence software have joined forces to bring these benefits to data centres of all sizes.

The benefits of hyperconverged

Simplify infrastructure

Lenovo hyperconverged infrastructure disappears into the background, so you can focus on your core business.

Eliminate IT silos

Scale flexibly

Each Lenovo Converged HX Series appliance powered by Intel® technology is a flexible building block of fully integrated and tested compute, storage, and preloaded virtualization management software. This enables scale-out clusters to easily support your growth.

Simple. Better value. More reliable.

Using many kinds of servers, hypervisors, and storage requires IT departments to spend most of their time on maintenance. Lenovo hyperconverged infrastructure helps merge these silos, reducing complexity.

2

Reduce IT management time

Lenovo Converged HX Series appliance clusters automatically pool compute and storage into a single, shared virtual structure. Resources are utilised more efficiently, and everything is managed through a single interface. Time spent on IT management is dramatically reduced.

Deliver greater reliability

Lenovo servers with the latest Intel® Xeon® processors received the #1 reliability rating among all x86servers worldwide in the ITIC 2016-2017 Global Server Hardwareand OS Reliability Survey2. HX Series appliances are built on theseproven Lenovo servers.

Shrink IT footprints

With compute, storage and virtualization combined in one appliance, IT is much more space and energy-efficient. You could save up to 61% on power and space3. Enjoy the best of cloud

Lenovo HX hyperconverged infrastructure with Nutanix software delivers the agility and economics of the public cloud, without sacrificing the security and control of an on-premises data centre.

Make time for innovation

With Lenovo hyperconverged infrastructure powered by Nutanix, IT departments can stop running around putting out fires – and start innovating with valuable new services.

Lower TCO

With easy deployment, significant management savings, a smaller footprint and no more silos, TCO is much lower. Time-to-value is also much faster.

The IT department is changing The focus of the IT department is changing. In the past, IT was concerned with building and maintaining infrastructure. In 2014, around 70-80% of IT budgets were spent on just keeping systems running4. Yet today, the most competitive organizations also expect IT to add business value through useful services.

Yet while IT’s responsibilities have increased, budgets and the need to maintain reliable infrastructures remain largely the same. That’s a problem for traditional systems, with separate compute, networking, and storage, which are:

• inherently complex• inefficient• difficult to scale• time-consuming to manage

Hyperconverged solutions help to solve these issues, by making infrastructure essentially invisible. Your resources are freed up, enabling IT to concentrate on delivering business value and to compete on today’s terms.

Nutanix software is at the heart of Lenovo Converged HX Series appliances. It converges the entire data centre stack – including compute, storage, storage networking and virtualization – into a single, Lenovo Intel® Xeon® based system (known as a node) deployed in scale-out clusters.

IT is simplified. Complex and expensive legacy infrastructure is replaced by simple appliances that enable enterprises to start small and scale one node at a time. Nutanix software running on each node distributes all operating functions across the cluster forsuperior performance and resilience.

The results include reduced power and space, simpler storage, and built-in virtualization that shifts IT focus back to applications.

It’s no surprise, that Nutanix is the leader in hyperconverged infrastructure with a 52% share of the global market5.

The Nutanix software that ships with HX Series appliances has two components: Acropolis and Prism.

Acropolis is a hybrid cloud operating system with enterprise storage and virtualization services, and the ability for applications to move seamlessly across hypervisors and back-up data to cloud providers. According to IDC, 80% of enterprises are currently or plan to run more than one hypervisor in the next 12-24 months9.

Prism is a single management console that uses advanced data analytics and heuristics to simplify and streamline common workflows, eliminating the need for separate management solutions for servers, storage networks, storage and virtualization.

How Nutanix software is deployed

A Lenovo Converged HX cluster is 100% software defined. Each node in a cluster runs the Nutanix AHV hypervisor, and the Nutanix software operates as a virtual machine called the Controller VM (CVM) that runs on every node in the cluster. This allows Nutanix systems to be hypervisor agnostic. The CVM includes Nutanix Prism management functions and Acropolis data services functions.

Nutanix Acropolis

Acropolis has three major components:

Distributed Storage Fabric (DSF)

The Acropolis Distributed Storage Fabric is designed to simplify storage and data management for virtual environments.

By pooling flash and hard disk drive storage across a Nutanix cluster and exporting it out to the virtualization layer as iSCSI, NFS and SMB shares, DSF eliminates the need for SAN and NAS solutions.

• Enterprise storage services for applications, eliminating the need for separate solutions from vendors such as NetApp, EMC, and HPE

• Includes a comprehensive set of capabilities for performance acceleration, data reduction, data protection, and much more

• Full support for VMware® vSphere, Microsoft® Hyper-V and Nutanix Acropolis Hypervisor

Nutanix AHV hypervisor

Nutanix AHV hypervisor was built from the ground up to provide a much simpler and more scalable hypervisor and associated management platform by leveraging the software intelligence of the hyperconverged architecture. AHV changes the core building block of the virtualized data centre from LUNs and volumes to the application and liberates virtualization from the domain of specialists – making it simple and easily manageable by anyone from DevOps teams to DBAs.

• Natively built virtualization solution• Based on the proven Linux KVM hypervisor, AHV is hardened

to meet the most stringent enterprise scaling, data protection and security requirements

• Integrated management through Prism

11

App Mobility Fabric (AMF)

The Acropolis App Mobility Fabric (AMF) is a collection of powerful technologies built into the Nutanix solution that allows applications and data to move freely between runtime environments. AMF includes a broad range of capabilities for migrating between different environments, including:

• Between Nutanix-based clusters• Between Nutanix-based systems supporting different

hypervisor environments• Nutanix-based systems to a public cloud infrastructure

Infrastructure resilience

The Nutanix Acropolis DSF makes HX Series appliances fault resistant, with no single points of failure and no bottlenecks.

Tunable redundancy

With tunable redundancy, each Nutanix container is configured with a Replication Factor (RF) of two or three. RF=2 ensures that two copies of data are maintained at all times, allowing the cluster to survive the failure of a single node or drive. When RF is set to 3 (RF=3), three copies of the data are maintained in a cluster, providing resilience against two simultaneous failures.

Data path redundancy

Data path redundancy ensures high availability in the event a Nutanix Controller VM (CVM) becomes unavailable or needs to be brought down for upgrade. If a CVM becomes unavailable for any reason, Nutanix CVM autopathing automatically re-routes requests to a “healthy” CVM on another node. This failover is fully transparent to the hypervisor and applications.

Data path redundancy is possible because every node in a cluster has access to all copies of data—I/O requests can be serviced immediately by any node in the system.

12

Integrity checks

Acropolis has a variety of features to proactively identify and fix issues related to data consistency and integrity, bit rot failures, and hard disk corruption.

• Detection of silent data corruption and repair of data consistency errors

• Automatic data integrity checks during every read• Automatic isolation and recovery during drive failures

Availability domains

Availability domains offer greater protection from hardware failures by allowing Lenovo HX clusters to survive the failure of a node or block (multi-node enclosure). Availability domains are created based on the granularity at which failures are likely to occur.

With DSF, data replicas will be written to other blocks in the cluster to ensure that in the case of a block failure or planned downtime, the data remains available. This is true for both RF2 and RF3 scenarios, as well as in the case of a block failure. An easy comparison would be “node awareness”, where a replica would need to be replicated to another node which will provide protection in the case of a node failure. Block awareness further enhances this by providing data availability assurances in the case of block outages.

Nutanix Prism

Nutanix Prism provides an easy way to manage Lenovo HX Series appliance environments end to end. Prism combines multiple aspects of data centre management into a single, intuitive, consumer-grade console that lets IT admins manage infrastructure and virtualization, gain access to operational insights, and fix problems all with a few clicks.

Just as Acropolis creates a data plane that spans the entire cluster, Prism creates a cluster-wide management plane. High availability is built right into the product.

In addition to the Prism interface, all management capabilities are exposed through REST APIs, PowerShell, and through the Command Line Interface (CLI) to facilitate integration and automation.

13

The Prism approach

Prism is designed for an uncluttered experience with an intuitive user interface that simplifies and streamlines common data centre workflows, eliminating the need to have different management tools for different tasks. Prism enhances productivity through features such as:

• Instant Search: Integrated search to query and perform actions quickly

• Capacity Planning: Prism’s predictive analysis engine forecasts the capacity needs of applications running on a Nutanix cluster, giving the IT team the ability to proactively understand and to plan for infrastructure needs

• Customizable Operations Dashboard: Visual dashboard gives an at-a-glance summary of application and infrastructure state

• Integrated management with One-Click Simplicity: Infrastructure management, operational insights, and problem remediation can be accomplished easily

With the Prism central dashboard, multiple clusters can be monitored and managed including consolidated alerts, available storage, performance in terms of both bandwidth and IOPS, and more.

Performance acceleration

The Nutanix Acropolis Distributed Storage Fabric (DSF) built into Lenovo HX Series appliances includes a number of capabilities that enhance performance.

Intelligent tiering

DSF continually monitors data access patterns and optimizes data placement on either the SSD or HDD tier, achieving the best performance without administrator intervention.

14

The SSD tier provides maximum performance for hot data and random I/O, while the HDD tier provides maximum capacity and economy for cold data and sequential I/O. Data locality

DSF ensures that as much of a VM’s data as possible is stored on the node where the VM is running. This negates the need for read I/O to go through the network. Keeping data local optimizes performance and minimizes network congestion.

Every VM’s data is served locally from the CVM and stored preferentially on local storage. When a VM is moved from one node to another using vMotion or Live Migration (or during an HA event), the migrated VM’s data automatically follows the VM in the background based on read patterns.

Automatic disk balancing

Automatic disk balancing ensures that data is distributed uniformly across the entire cluster. Any node in an HX Series cluster can utilise storage resources across the cluster, without requiring time-consuming and error-prone manual rebalancing.

VM Flash Mode

VM Flash Mode pins specific VMs or vDisks to the cluster-wide SSD tier, so that IOPS and latency-sensitive workloads can be mixed with other workloads in a single cluster, without compromising on performance. VM Flash Mode gives fine-grained control over I/O performance. For instance, all database transaction logs can be pinned in flash. Or all financial data can be pinned in flash during quarter-end reporting.

Shadow Clones

Shadow Clones significantly improve performance by caching virtual machine data across an HX Series cluster. Unique to Nutanix, Shadow Clones benefit scenarios where there are multiple VMs reading a single source of data, such as deployment servers and repositories. VDI deployments, where many linked clones forward read requests to a central master (e.g., Citrix MCS Master VM or VMware View replica disks), are an ideal example.

15

With Shadow Clones, Nutanix actively monitors vDisk access trends. If there are requests originating from more than two remote Controller VMs (CVMs), as well as the local CVM, and all of the requests are read I/O, the vDisk will be marked as immutable. Once the disk has been marked immutable, the vDisk is then cached locally by each CVM so read operations are now satisfied locally by direct-attached storage resources.

Capacity optimization

The Nutanix Acropolis Distributed Storage Fabric (DSF) also incorporates a wide range of storage optimization technologies that work together to make efficient use of the available capacity in a cluster. Deduplication

Two types of data deduplication accelerate application performance and optimize storage capacity. Performance-tier deduplication removes duplicate data in the content cache (SSD and memory) to reduce the footprint of an application’s working set. In addition, global post-process MapReduce deduplication reduces repetitive data in the capacity tier to increase the effective storage capacity of a cluster. Both forms of deduplication can be easily configured and managed at vDisk granularity.

When deduplication is enabled, data is fingerprinted on ingest using a SHA-1 hash. Deduplication operations are software-driven and leverage the hardware-assist capabilities of the Intel chipset for the SHA-1 fingerprint generation. Because SHA-1 is a strong hash, deduplication is performed based on a fingerprint match.

Compression

Data can be compressed inline as it is written to the system, or post process after the data has been written. Inline and Post process compression is intelligently determined based on sequential or random access patterns to enable optimal performance. Post-process compression is executed as a series of MapReduce jobs.

DSF uses the Google Snappy compression algorithm, providing good compression ratios with minimal computational overhead and extremely fast compression and decompression rates.

16

EC-X

Nutanix-powered HX Series systems include an innovative erasure coding technology - Nutanix EC-X - that provides resilience and can increase usable capacity by up to 75%. EC-X reduces the capacity cost of replication factor (RF) without taking away any of the resilience benefits and with no impact on write performance.

EC-X encodes a strip of data blocks on different nodes and calculates parity. In the event of a disk or node failure, parity is used to calculate any missing data blocks. DSF uses an extentgroup as the data block, and each data block in a strip must be on a different node and belong to a different vDisk. The number of data and parity blocks in a strip is configured based on the desired number of failures to withstand.

17

Data protection and security

Data protection

HX Series appliances powered by Nutanix offer natively integrated data protection and continuous availability at the VM level. A range of options is available to meet the recovery point objective (RPO, defines the maximum amount of data you are willing to lose) and recovery time objective (RTO, defines how much time you have to recover if an IT failure occurs) of different applications.

Security

Nutanix combines features such as two-factor authentication and data-at-rest encryption with a security development lifecycle. This is integrated into product development to help meet the most stringent security requirements. Nutanix systems are certified across a broad set of evaluation programs to ensure compliance with the strictest standards.
