Session Title: | VMware vStorage VMFS-3: Architectural Advances since ESX 3.0 |
Session Abstract: | VMware vStorage VMFS is a highly successful series of clustered file systems that enables Virtual Infrastructure capabilities like vMotion, Storage vMotion, DRS, HA and VCB in addition to providing basic storage encapsulation, consolidation and manageability for large scale VM workloads in the enterprise. This session covers the motivation, design principles and operational outcome of enhancements to the original VMFS-3 implementation in VMware ESX 3.0. We describe VMFS-3 changes to meet the requirements of newer vSphere 4.0 features, increasing host connectivity and VM density trends in the enterprise cloud, and an increased emphasis on reducing capex and opex. We will also present a tech preview of an upcoming version of the file system, which is capable of leveraging advanced storage hardware functions when connected to vStorage compliant hardware. We present performance and scaling results of various workloads at various points, starting from the original VMFS-3 implementation to the newest version currently under development. |
