 Hi, my name is a year Hershko. I'm the VP of engineering at Zadara storage and I will discuss briefly about the company And what's the concept that we bring to the world? Few words about the technology. I will show you a short demo and Finally, what the value proposition that we bring? So as a daughter storage was founded two years ago, we are a team of very experienced storage and technologies and Sales people we have raised up till now. We have raised seven million dollars up to date and We have gone Production about a year ago and our technology was adopted by dimension data And it's currently being evaluated by 20 plus other clouds And we have revenue customers including Deloitte and and others So what's the concept and when we founded the Zadara storage we have a basically Came to the conclusion that there is no way today to consume enterprise quality storage as a service in the cloud and What if we could have provided an enterprise storage as a service with high performance and availability with the the customer ability to control and the freedom of choice of the storage that is needed and the flexibility and charge back charge back and billing and on the other hand There's a need for cloud scale in cloud economics Which means that we can scale up the storage cloud up to X a bite with a single management point and we can provide predictable performance to end users and Basically, you can think about it. Can we provide a single tenant storage experience in a multi-tenant environment? So, how do we do that? so we said, okay, let's lay let's look at the benefits of traditional sand storage arrays Where you can select your criteria For the storage type that you need you can define the controller performance You know how much cash you have which type of drives and how many drives you want to have which raid protection you need and You can provide a storage to clustered applications and Basically, that defines your uptime and your IOPS and latency All of those things are the things that you can control when you use traditional sand like storage systems But on the other hand the downside of sand storage like storage systems is that they are costly And they are not elastic And you can and they're upfront cost so The concept is as follow you take a pool of resources commodity standard x86 servers you put our software on top of it and You create a cloud storage those are this is the cloud storage of resources of drives of compute resources and networking resources and then as As a service on demand we partition those resources into storage systems so each customer its tenant can get a virtual private storage array which is built from dedicated resources and So basically we allocate full drives. We allocate network bandwidths and we allocate CPU cores and memory in order to build a storage system So how do we do that if you look at the bottom? This is our Zodara cloud fabric This is this there's a Dara storage cloud and you see there a bunch of store of servers with direct attached storage and running our software we build this virtual storage array Which is you see on the top has two array controllers storage controllers you can define the amount of memory that is used for cash and then you select drives from Different nodes so there's no single point of failure you select drives from different nodes and You carve from that a virtual private storage array from that storage array You can then go and create raid groups pools and carve volumes and assign those volumes as ice Kazi or NFS To your hosts to your application servers in the compute cloud So what are the key benefits the key features that we provide? So we provide an enterprise class ice Kazi which is block and NFS storage You get full control. You have your own GUI as a tenant you can build an array in five minutes and You get consistent performance with dedicated cores dedicated network bandwidth and dedicated Store in storage drives you can get high performance and high consistent performance Security we have Authentication with chap and in addition You get full flexibility of the storage system Which you are able to add and remove and drives you can add and remove a Compute power as you need a word about data security So this is very critical for enterprise customers. We Tackle it end-to-end through access control We use identity management and Data privacy So the whole architecture of VPS a is such that one tenant cannot is Isolated from its neighbor tenants We use of course a chap authentication And we have since you have full control of your drives that are dedicated to your VPS a you can then shred your data Whenever you are done with your drives we support data encryption both at rest and in flight and The old the user the tenant owns the encryption keys and On the network inside we have we support villains per tenant and you have isolated networks per VPS a So each VPS a is isolated and secured So, how do we do that? the basic a Our cloud orchestration is built using open stack building blocks so as I said at the beginning I have we have a Stack of stores of servers of nodes with the architect Drives and then we use open stack Which is a very scalable cloud architecture as you all know and we use we have an Nova a VPS a scheduler that is used in order to schedule drives and to schedule virtual controllers per VPS a We use keystone for identity management and we use a glance To manage our virtual controller repository and of course everything is with the rest API so Our unique thing is that we use open stack Mainly Nova part of it in order to create a block and file storage cloud Very scalable, so I will show you a demo in a of Okay, so this is the management console where you can log in and Create your virtual private storage array Okay, I Will go and create a VPS a when I create a VPS a Provided a name Open stack demo and I will Select three criterias the first one is where do I want to locate the storage array in which? Data center in which cloud currently we support today. We are deployed at Amazon dimension data and equinex. I would select Amazon East to for example and then I in order to create my VPS a I need to select basically two things one is what is the Zadara engine and the Zadara engine you can think about it as the virtual controller so which What what is the virtual controller capabilities? Which is basically the amount of CPU cores and the amount of memory? That is being used to process the IOs I would select a basic is a Zadara engine and then I can select which type of drives I want to have and How many drives I want to have within the VPS a for example, I would select Three drives that are 600 gig sass and and I will submit and Basically, that's it within two minutes. I will have a VPS a created Which is Completely isolated from other VPS a's in the cloud and it is fully owned by me so if I'm Going to a VPS say that I've previously created This is the good that you get when you'll spawn your VPS a today As you can see I can I can look at the list of drives That exist in my VPS a this one currently has ten drives I can remove a drive if you want to give it back to the cloud and stop paying for it For example, I'll take this drive and I will remove it and This is no longer belonging to this VPS a Then I can go and create a raid groups. So currently I have a single raid group I can go and create another raid group from the drives that I've Selected for example, I can create a raid one With two drives for example and from that drives I can go and create virtual volumes assign those volumes to servers hosts and In addition I can manage I can see the virtual controller and their characteristics So this is how the VPS a go. He looks like Now the last thing that I wanted to show is The next release of the VPS a which is coming in a in a month We are adding capabilities of Snapshots and remote mirroring so and in addition to the previous Management capabilities that you saw of creating raid groups creating pools creating In addition to the capabilities of creating raid groups and pools and carving volumes in the upcoming Release you will be able to create snapshots defined snapshots policies where you can create In delete snapshots automatically and create remote replication. Okay, so you have Okay, so Where does the Darah fits in enterprise storage so we are a software as a service and Which is similar to sand but is that as a service and it is elastic And it provides low latency high IOPS for your database and other mission critical Application you can deploy it on-premise or off-premise and That's our unique proposition Today we are available at Amazon web services. We are available at dimension data and in equinix So just to summarize it the service provider unique value proposition is to provide an enterprise storage as a service to build a storage a cloud with With enormous scale that supports thousands of storage nodes and thousands of petabyte of storage and Cloud economics It's a software defined storage. You can provide your customers your end users a single tenant experience within a multi a multi tenant environment and It's a traditional sand ass benefits plus the cloud elasticity and ecosystem From the end user perspective a developer position is consistent performance a high performance You can do application clustering And you have full control over your storage and you own your own encryption. Thank you very much
