Activities EMC Mid-Range Storage Community on EMC World site Pavilion Demos in Mid-Range Storage Booth Simple Management and Serviceability directions Efficient Multi-platform file tiering Advanced storage efficiencies Virtual archive Secure VM Recovery with RecoverPoint Intelligent data protection Secure sensitive data Virtualization-ready Hyper-V integration VMware management integration VMware data replication People - Celerra Experts at EMC World Sessions Celerra FAST Uncovered: Cloud Integration and Storage Efficiency Paul Lemahieu,Matt Imel, Eli Lilly Lecture Introductory As you build your private cloud it will become critically important to funnel the majority of your data into your lowest cost storage. Celerra Fully Automated Storage Tiering (FAST) technology enables you to do just that without sacrificing performance. This session takes a technical look at Celerra FAST technology and new tiering options using real world use cases to help illustrate the technical concepts. In addition, a customer presents a case study on how Celerra FAST is helping him manage data growth at his Fortune 250 company. You will leave knowing what FAST is, how it works, and how it enables you to focus your information growth in ways that align storage costs to the business value of your data. Celerra Unified Storage Architecture and Key Concepts Scott Hall Lecture Intermediate Whether you are new to Celerra Unified Storage or you simply need a refresher, join us to walk through its basic architecture. This session focuses on foundational concepts you need to know to truly understand Celerra. This session covers the hardware and software architectural components of Celerra as well as concepts such as networking high availability, storage allocation to SAN and network hosts, volumes and file systems, thin/virtual provisioning, and protocols for network file sharing. Terminology necessary to understand these concepts is also explained. Simple and Cost Effective Exchange Archiving with Celerra Unified Storage and SourceOne Raj RajanayagamChris Gray Lecture Introductory If you're running a Microsoft Exchange environment, you know the drill. Implement user quotas, limit attachment size, and so on. The process burdens Exchange admins and frustrates end users. EMC has a better solution. By leveraging EMC Unified Storage and using EMC SourceOne to host your Exchange environment, you can dramatically reduce operational costs while more easily managing email record-keeping policies in compliance with government regulations. EMC experts will walk you through what this solution looks like. The session will show how this solution 1) reduces Exchange storage needs with Celerra data deduplication and 2) reduces capital expenses by putting production email on SAN storage while archiving older email attachments onto more cost-effective NAS storage. Best practice recommendations to help you determine whether this solution is right for your environment will also be discussed. Celerra VMware Integration: Solutions for Rapid Provisioning, Storage Optimization, Backup, & Protection Bruce Wolfeld Lecture demo Intermediate Three of the most common challenges in virtualization are: 1) rapid provisioning of the storage for your virtual environment; 2) using storage as efficiently as possible while maintaining a flexible, scalable virtual infrastructure; and 3) backing up and recovering your virtual environment to protect against disaster. This session dives into new integration between VMware and Celerra that will help alleviate these headaches. New vCenter plugins are discussed that let you easily take advantage of core storage functionality right from the vCenter management interface. Technical topic discussions include the vStorage API; rapid provisioning for VMware storage; Celerra VMDK compression for VMware NFS storage; file deduplication and tiering for the virtual environment; Replication Manager integration for backup/restore; and SRM integration for disaster recovery. NAS Meets SAN: An Introduction to Celerra Unified Storage Rob Hazen,Brian Boyd (Duke University) Lecture Introductory In today’s climate of cost pressure and green pressure you need to do more with less, but you no longer have to choose between purchasing SAN or NAS storage. EMC Celerra unified storage gives you the best of both SAN and NAS storage in a single, flexible, scalable system. This session discusses why unified storage is the wave of the future and how you can leverage it to lower your costs and be more eco-friendly. An introduction to the Celerra unified storage product family is included with a focus on the Celerra DART and FLARE software components. Celerra Automated SRM Failover and Failback: Simplifying VMware Disaster Recovery Ryan Miller,Brian Bosserman, Foster Pepper Lecture + Demo Intermediate Disaster recovery at the site level is critical to a business continuance plan, but it typically requires a lot of manual intervention to bring the recovery site online. EMC Celerra unified storage has integrated with VMware SRM to make disaster recovery easier by automating both failover and failback. This session discusses how you can focus on all the other things that need to be done in a disaster instead of worrying about failing over your virtual infrastructure. Whether you implement VMware on FC, iSCSI, or NFS storage, this session teaches you how to design your SRM solution with EMC Celerra unified storage so that you can leverage its automated SRM failover and failback capabilities. A customer shares his own experiences with implementing a comprehensive SRM disaster recovery solution on Celerra storage and give short demonstration. Best Practices for Implementing VMware View with EMC Storage Aaron Patten (EMC) +Aaron Black (VMware) Lecture Intermediate Celerra Automatic Volume Management Performance Concepts and Internals Ken Cantrell Lecture Advanced Celerra Automatic Volume Management (AVM) greatly simplifies the provisioning of Celerra storage for NAS clients. AVM works extremely well for most performance needs, so it is not surprising that one of the most common questions asked is 'How does AVM work?'. This session takes a deep dive into AVM to see how it works and to learn how AVM affects performance in different IO profiles. Maintaining High NAS Performance Levels: Celerra Performance Analysis and Troubleshooting Kevin Crean Lecture Advanced While you're meeting the performance needs of your NAS environment today, it is time to begin planning for the unexpected performance issue that may show up tomorrow. Join us for a look at how to analyze and troubleshoot performance issues when or before they occur. This session discusses Celerra NAS storage performance and introduces an engineering-recommended performance analysis methodology, key Celerra performance considerations, and advanced performance troubleshooting tools. Real customer scenarios are used to demonstrate the concepts presented. Celerra Data Deduplication: Recent Developments and Best Practices for Surviving the Data Explosion Chris Stacey Lecture Intermediate Efficiency in storing and dealing with information is an undeniable requirement, and data deduplication and compression technologies are an essential part of a storage efficiency strategy. This session discusses what you can do to deal with the global information flood in today’s cost- and power-sensitive environment by leveraging Celerra's data deduplication and compression technology to store your information more efficiently. This session also discusses the recent enhancements to Celerra data deduplication and takes an in-depth look at how the technology works. Keynote: Next Generation Datacenters - Building an Information Utility Rich Napolitano Lecture Introductory In this session, Rich will provide his perspective on requirements for next generation datacenters – and how EMC is engineering solutions to help customers reduce cost, complexity  and risk in these highly virtualized environments. Rich also provides insight and direction on some of the exciting new capabilities EMC will be delivering in our midrange offerings this year. CLARiiON Navisphere Analyzer - Hands-on Workshop Keith Snell, Joe Bellone, Noel Texeira Hands On Introductory VMware vStorage Feature with Symmetrix, CLARiiON and Celerra NFS Plug-in for VMware vSphere - Hands-on Workshop Sheetal Kochavara, Joe Primm, Pierluca Chiodelli Hands On Intermediate This session focuses on the support for VMware vStorage features such as zero offload, stun and resume and copy offload on the Symmetrix and CLARiiON platforms. In addition, this session depicts the use of Celerra vCenter plug-in which provides a FAST copy feature and saves space by compressing virtual machine images on NFS storage. This lab also highlights the tight integration between VMware and the storage platforms by walking the user through various operations in a VMware vSphere environment.
