What is fast in Vmax?

It then gradually extends to Fully Automated Storage Tiering (FAST®), a feature provided at VMAX architecture level and above. FAST provides efficient I/O load balancing and performance optimization features across different storage disk drive types automatically by being proactively intuitive.

WHAT IS FAST VP in Vmax?

Note: FAST VP only performs promotion/demotion activity between tiers defined on differing drive technologies. RAID protection and drive rotational speed are not considered. As a result, a FAST VP policy should not be created where two or more tiers use the same drive type.

WHAT IS FAST VP in storage?

About FAST VP Fully Automated Storage Tiering for Virtual Pools (FAST VP) enables the system to retain the most frequently accessed or important data on fast, high-performance disks and move the less frequently accessed and less important data to lower-performance, cost-effective disks.

Which operation can be performed from the fast VP Settings section in the Unisphere Settings window?

Which operation can be performed from the FAST VP settings section in the Unisphere Settings window? FAST VP accelerates performance of a specific storage pool by automatically moving data within that pool to the appropriate drive technology, based on data access patterns. FAST VP is only applicable to hybrid pools.

WHAT IS FAST Cache and FAST VP?

First of all, FAST Cache you set up on Storage System level, so everything provisioned on the Storage Array can take an advantage, both RAID LUNs and pool LUNs. FAST VP is created in a Storage Pool, and can be used only for LUNs within that Storage Pool.

What is fast cache in Vnx?

FAST CACHE – EMC VNX. Posted By Rajesh Radhakrishnan February 02 2018. EMC FAST Cache technology gives a performance enhancement to the VNX Storage Array by adding FLASH drives as a Secondary Cache, working hand-in-hand with DRAM Cache and enhancing overall Storage Array performance.

What is auto tiering in Vnx?

Auto-Tier – a small portion of a large st of data may be responsible for most of the I/O activity in a system. This policy allows for moving a small percentage of the ‘hot’ data to higher tiers while maintaining the rest of the data in the lower tiers.

WHAT IS FAST VP in Vnx?

FAST VP stands for Fully Automated Storage Tiering for Virtual Pools. It’s a very smart solution for dynamically matching storage requirements with changes in the frequency of data access.

WHAT IS FAST VP in Dell EMC?

Instructions. FAST VP accelerates the performance of a specific storage pool by automatically moving data within that pool to the appropriate drive technology, based on data access patterns. FAST VP is only applicable to hybrid pools within a Dell EMC Unity hybrid system.

WHAT IS FAST VP and FAST Cache?

What is fast in storage?

What is storage tiering and why would you use it?

Storage tiering is a strategy that lets you optimize the use of storage resources, efficiently backup data, save costs and make the best use of storage technology for each data class.
