Unprecedented Data Complexity
Philip NASS, Pure Storage

A challenge of the cloud is compliance
Pure Storage was the first all-flash Array
Pure Storage Business Model Buy Once Use it forever
Pure Storage you only pay for disks once, never twice
Pure Storage Net Promoter Score NPS 83.7
Pure Storage Four-time Gartner Magic Quadrant leader
Pure Storage Allows you create a spaces clone of any particular volume
ESXi Resource Management
Valentin?Bondzio

In vSphere 6.7 we are changing how reservations work
Shares only matter when you are over committed
a vCPU is either running or ready. An idle means de-scheduled.?
Never ever set a limit on a VM
A reservation is a guarantee for a resource
Using large pages for both guest and ESXi improves performance 0-30%
Page sharing avoids ballooning and swapping
benefits of large pages are workload dependent
Best performance when guest and host pages are used
VMWare Storage Concepts
John Nicholson?Senior Technical Marketing Architect VMware

Storage IO COntrol (V2)
- Not Just Limits
- Reservations (Alert in Violation)
- IOP Shares
VM?In flight encryption?
- FIP 140-2
NFS 4.1
- NFS v3 and NFS v4.1 Datastores can co-exist on the same host
- Supports multipathing
VVols
- VMware Virtual Volumes
- Storage Policy Managment
- VVols are VMDK granular storage entities exported by storage arrays
- VVols now support shared VMDKs no more RDMs!
XCOPY
- Now works with specific vendor and standard plugins

VMware Cloud in Amazon Web Services the VM’s will migrate for performance reasons automatically to a different physical host.
Hyperthread performance gains typically in the 25% performance gain
The scheduler will use a single thread per core at first, then start using hyperthreading

Valentin Bondzio, Senior Staff Technical Support Engineer, VMware Global Support Services, VMware

Common Issues for Monster VM’s
- Trace Cost (Up until ESXi 5.5 (6.0 in extreme cases)
- Large Page Remap (Up until ESXi 6.0)
- Pre-allocated memory (Mostly gone in ESXi 6.5)
Make sure you have enough vMotion Bandwidth
