Geek Out on Microsoft Azure NetApp Files

alright we're about to get started so settle down get yourself a drink and get ready to geek out on Microsoft Azure now that files I am Phoebe Kerr and as you can see we now have video so this is the first time we're trying this new format and so please excuse us as we we work our way through this some new technology and I would like to welcome our guest today you see them on the other video screen just a quick question at the screen a couple of admin points we will be going for about 45 minutes if you have any questions please throw them into the QA or or the chat box and we will get try and get to them through the session and if not we will answer your questions after afterwards via email all the best questions we'll get some good swag so please do ask questions as you think of them and yes like I said will run for about 45 minutes and with some time for capital to get through those questions at the end so three guests today sitting in the Sydney office I am sitting in a virtual Sydney office and I would like to introduce them to you so Chris who are you what's your name and what do you do and how do people contact you thanks folks I say is Chris cassettes are on the solutions engineering manager here in the Sydney office looking after our enterprise north space and then trying to hurt a bunch of solutions engineering cats around looking after our customers to get in contact with me LinkedIn is best way a unique name of chriskiss SSO GAC ESA thanks in the middle of rune white Vani um what do you do good morning everybody you've got a room with Vani I'm the sales lead here as you know that files and basically here I'm here today to work with Chris and mark to take you across as you know that files best way to contact me of course is through LinkedIn and just like Chris alternately you can email me through it ANZ info at Metacom awesome and last but not least mark hey everybody so I'm Matt Cain from Microsoft even though it's got an in-app logo down there on the little name tag but we're all part of one family now so I work with the average our infrastructure technical department so part of the sales team at Microsoft and helping people make sense of the cloud and helping people move to the cloud with Azure and also with a generic files as well and if you want to contact me it's quite simply put a dot in between the name and put that Microsoft comm on the end of it so that's ma I see dr. Kea any gum right so we we invited mark to join us today to talk about a really exciting you as your service as your net up file so mark do you want to talk us through it or show us even better yeah the best way to to live demos look at scared all right you guys can see the azure portal on the screen so we've got engineer that files and we're based in Australia East so what we can do is let's get straight into it so actually that files right now you still have to be white listed for to get into it everything is available in in region so you just simply go add and put in the name of the a generic account so this is you can for a genetic cause which is an account for region so we put into the account for today so demo account something nice and simple put your subscription in and then your resource group so you pick a resource group within Asia and that's just a logical container of where you put your applications so normally what you do is you run resource group to put all your like minded applications together in the one so you can mute that off and give people access to it so what we'll do a credit you one yeah all that demo engineer that falls and you can put all sorts of resources into a resource group right not just not just a genetic files but vm's and networks and ip's everything that's sort of like part of the whole distributed application it's probably good for like a team think of it like an essay P enterprise application for example and then although the bits that make that tick as all separate resources put that into one resource group and that team that has have to manage that can have access to at all mark so there's a cap and so what we can do is we can go into the account and we can do two things the first thing is a capacity pool which is minimum four terabytes maximum is 500 terabytes so again you just give us a name so cool quickly talk you through the service levels there's three different service levels so standard which is not so fast premium is in between and ultra is the super fast one so the difference is a difference of that was so many meters per second and then also your eye ops as well so standards got a low I up sand and strength fruit water and with frequent premium sort of like your in between sort of look for your most of the Android applications and then ultra is even faster again so what we'll do we'll go a middle-of-the-road in premium four terabytes as a minimum which is either by default the capacity bull go okay and that will create that a capacity pool and that's done that already and that's pretty much like a pool of where you can do your volumes yeah that's kind of like standing up a storage array in about two clicks yeah cool which is done in less than a couple of seconds so volume is way then add a volume within the capacity pool and we can give this a name but one for example and then you've got a size here by default it's a hundred gig which is the smallest but that can go right up to 92 terabytes of alle 400 terabytes or something like that so crazy like that so by default it's stuck at the minimum and if we go across to actually down the bottom here first virtual network so with a generic files it has to sit within a subnet within a virtual network and as you can see here it's we haven't selected one it's going to create a brand new virtual network here with that address space here and then down the bottom here is a subnet which has got called default and once we create that it's going to be locked off and delegated directly to our generic files and the reason for that is because it's more of a injected so the service injects into the V net into the subnet directly so it exposes its private IP address so people think to it securely privately in the virtual network also - like if you're using VPNs or Express route from on frame you can also connect from on-prem as well if you like one - so that's the V net part and the subnet pack this is nothing new most of it has your services as well today normally get deployed into a some in for security reasons this is sort of for the for the fact that because people don't want to expose stuff for the outside world for security reasons next type along is protocol so let's talk about this for a second so there's two protocols here they can seem by default it's NFS so NFS is big with Linux today you can do it with Windows as well not out of the box so you need to install the client for NFS with Windows and if this is currently at the moment is version 3.0 3.1 I'm told and version 4 is coming the the big difference between version 3 and version 4 with NFS is while blocking in the enterprise world so this is when you your clusters with Linux when you want to set up your Linux multi section hosts like if you're doing a multi Sapa environment for example in multi know what they need to do is that part of the cluster and there's a thing called fencing there's terminology for fencing one of the nodes the agent on the VM will basically tell the fencing agent to block that off they know that that can take some time ASAP Hanna doesn't like the whole non blocking capability so third and four when it comes out I said the Hana will be basically support that and that's what it uses with the fall of highlighting for our capabilities so just not to be confused if you're running a single node SME Hana environment yes you can use NFS version three or four if you're doing multi node you can do version flying SMB is the other one here now that you notice if I click on SMB though it's asked me to select an Active Directory environment for permissions and that's a or an azure ad that'll be your own press roses now if we go any face by itself it it doesn't use emissions like we see on the bottom he has got an export policy instead so this is basically where you say hey I'm going to allow access perform a certain number of clients at the moment it's open for everything which is not so bad because it's it's injected into the subnet so it's just basically in other words it's saying allow access from anything within the virtual network you could been in it put an NS tree around the subnet in Asia which is a network security group and block off permissions and if we do that it's going to ask us to open up a few ports so let's go through and create this so that's not going to take too long so just we're actually in the edge of portal here right this is this is a first party service for one yeah yeah it's some steel yeah there's content with you resources yeah you can see here if i zoom in on the bottom here well that's huge okay Oh NZ mint but basically like this part here is what we call a resource provider protector and a resource provider is part of the edge of resource managers backed into the platform in agile so it's not like a third party service it's actually multi so all of our services and resources understand and you need that files as what it is this is why both that out the Microsoft me working hard together to push this out because for quite some time and now it's like right there part of it that's what so that's great it's basically you're saying that the appliance is really from never actually said in the Microsoft data center that's how you can really have that guarantee ran our performance that agent that files provides correct excellent so all that's been creeping created let me go back to one I prepared earlier I just wanted to show you the export part of it so we go to this one here this is another you know account and if I go to my father you see our icon the volume here which is NFS and it's got down on the bottom here mount instructions yeah so here it is here so this is another volume I created earlier and you'll see here it's got an internal IP address for the target so that's the address used to connect to NFS and it gives you the command here that you can run so either if you using workout Enterprise here or if using a Bluetooth so they do different flavors to saying Red Hat Enterprise are pretty much mostly the same and it boom so DB in a slightly different a user and there's a commands to run to install the nfx client and then some that is down on the bottom here very so you can Basin just a cap and paste into those to set up in logins groups or to share with you you know with your technologies you have to get access and using Linux that just map so that the operating system level yeah there's a mount awesome ipsum jump through a couple of questions while that's spinning up is there any comments on licensing well how is it priced how is it for us so the way the pricing works it's published prices based on the performance tiers I've talked about the three different options there being standard the cream and ultra it's actually priced per month per gigabyte and these are in u.s. dollars thank you Mark so it's 15 cents per gig per month with standard premium which is 30 cents and 40 for the ultra the highest performance of course as a customer of much soft Asia if you have an enterprise agreements in place will actually probably pay for the price based on that enterprise agreements these are the published prices and of course in u.s. dollars awesome and the other question is is there a RESTful API oh I suppose other ways to automate the configuration deployment management of as you know that files yes yes there is so the REST API either size is what we use you know it because as I sort of before it's packed into the portal so you can use any of your tools today that you use normally with Asia with the rest API you can use a handful of tools using vs code you can use PowerShell you can use as your CLI a number or you can use the portal directly okay and is there currently a way to change the service level of an existing capacity pool well how would I so you have the ability for example if you've already spun up a storage pool and volume for the standard and you decide that that performance is not satisfactory yes you can actually go in real-time there's no sort of outages such there's no sort of downtime and you can upgrade essentially to the higher premium or even the ultra performance if you wish any best practices all this is the core now any best practices are as around using volume managers such as LVM yes LVM so LVM is is a linux terminology so that's logical volume manager and no it's basically the same as any other type of connection with NFS generally so if you're familiar with ldms you basically go through and set up the LVN part as you would normally and then you basically have your your mount pick a folder and then you can mount to the NFS chair just like you would with any other normal NFS mounting that you do today and to anybody who did join late don't worry that this is being recorded and we will have this available for you to to watch through in your own time so please Arun can you take us through a bit more about a generic well sure okay so just to go through so why the why the interest essentially why did Microsoft terms unit out really to form this relationship for a bit of background for those of you that aren't familiar with our relationship Christa's all you mentioned that a generic files is a first party product so that means it's essentially approach owned by Microsoft it's a service which is native to an add a service that you'll be perhaps buying today if you're currently a consumer of Asia and our relationship started about two years ago we identify that with our expertise around storage systems and service file systems there was a great opportunity with our expertise with potentially 25 years of history of doing that with our storage raids Microsoft said that we have potentially had a good technology partnership opportunity here and we've been working now closely on building that partnership about 65% were closed today currently sit on on-premise and potentially now having the ability to offer Linux or NFS protocols as well as SMB allows us to move those workloads on premise essentially into Microsoft Azure without the need to refactor those particular applications so it's great for the ability to move customers across if you all perhaps take yard as a storage administrator or a cloud solution architect and you're looking to move as many workloads over to cut some high mascara like Microsoft Azure we have the ability now that you can move those across with that and to refactor we've identified now that approximately 45% of the storage capacity is based in Azure is around storage and the growth opportunity we're seeing in market in 2020 we're seeing about 24 percent growth in in campaign annual growth and while 2020 we're going to see about 48 2 bytes of data around storage that presents a really opportunity to work closely with Microsoft and which is why we've now formed this new partnership so basically the storage hierarchy just moving through the slide just keep going there market so these slides of course will be shared to don't worry too much about all the details but essentially the hierarchy where it's based on the subscription and then we spin up the account whose markers already showed us on the demo and then from there we've spent up a capacity pool now mark showed the ability to spin up that first capacity we've gone for the minimum of 4 terabytes you can also spin up more of those as you need to and then from there you start spinning out the volumes that you need against that capacity and that takes you down and we include there a lot of stats around 40 of service and the ability to increase or decrease those volumes based on what you need keep going there mark touched on this before the pricing so against a question around that is customers we talked about before had enterprise agreements and no doubt they've got a bunch of azure credits and things that may be sitting there can they utilize those to go against yes yeah definitely Hanabusa so as long as you don't manage your subscription to a you can now go ahead and use it obviously the white listing process today but that's fairly fairly fast this is the performance pricing pricing performance to you slightly had up before you want to go to any more into that you also essentially for workloads standard will be ideal for you sort of your more static work content file share and backing up database and things like that the premium workers really more fear Oracle database master SAT file share if else you going from house essay beyond HANA analytics workload as if your things like IOC and for business applications wherever you see potentially the opportunity around ultra is really around high-performance computing that's a real high-end really fast speed that you may need but we think that the majority of the workloads that people will move into Asia for a generic files we based more on that premium tier which is that middle tier level of performance from a perspective be looking at 64 megabytes per second but terabytes and 4000 IRS so that will give you a comparable sort of performance against perhaps on-premise being sort of SSD type performance and you're happy with that kind of slow rates here you're also more conscious about the cost then that HDD type performance and that will give you about a quarter while the performance you're going to get from the premium so pretty exciting stuff so I'll do you just quickly is show you just on these more details yeah for the next I'll spreadsheet to talk about the tiers and more detail I thought I'd show this because it's probably goes into more easily an example and the way it's done up with as you edit files is your different tiers across the top so standard Ultra it's all based on a block size of 16 kilobytes right which is where it's me to that and that's pretty much normal today based on the application that you're using whether it's s ap Oracle whichever it is can have different block sizes that they recommend for better performance and whatever else that the way nap does it is all based on 16 kilobytes for the block size so here on the left hand side you've got a volume size of terabytes so 4 terabytes is the minimum so if we go down to 4 terabytes for example and click off that notice both bandwidth and I ops is done on a terabyte basis so 4 terabytes in standard is 64 so it's 4 times 16 so 64 megabytes a second and then you've got your eye ops here at a 16 kilobyte box size and so again that's 4 times 1000 so it's 4,000 now here's where it gets interesting so if we click in here and say our application is a 8k block size watch what happens it doubles the ions right that's also true of use premium obviously same thing if we go have an application that goes a smaller block size it doubles the ions however if we go the other way so if 32 he will go to slot but you'll still have the same so that covers that off that's awesome thank you for sharing it um and it's just a question as well around availability it's as you know that files available in different regions yes as far as the region there's we've got over 50 formal regions worldwide and that was increased slightly somewhat today this is for sure itself and the way we do our regions it's it's mostly if there's a mix of data centers and so engineer that falls today is not available every single 54 region however if you go the documentation page stock stock market up Microsoft calm and go to the engineer that files area you'll find that easily the list of regions changes on a daily basis and likewise a list of regions will change based on what's available for say s AP deployments and everything else you've got unlike really it's all that that's all provider the docs page both regions for their that files also s ap together and once you look the same regions I mean the sprayer East is one of the big ones so Australia East the answer is yes it's available also Singapore I believe all can only last week yes Australia Aires came on the beginning of July okay it's like all right so Paris you were close so we're excited by a generic files now really about moving those windows were closed we've mentioned before it's more about that ultra-fast performance that we've sort of covered off the opportunity perhaps around Windows Server 2008 and SQL potentially moving those workloads from on-prem into Microsoft Azure and also SAPT on Asia so we've got a net weight and now marks already sort of covered off version 3.1 and once we've got a version for coming through which will be later this year they have the ability to do sa feed for harm with that high availability as well and the other workload that we've identified through our partnership is also around that high performance computing and I threw that only for structured play as well so pretty exciting there around those opportunities they're reaching the ability to do things like artificial intelligence and IOT solutions as well or moving those workloads other on-prem environment and moving those over into Microsoft Azure so SAPD so just who's using it today we have over 200 customers globally now using it we've actually got a couple of mining companies in Western Australia who are already testing out the environment here in Australia so we're pretty exciting there we also have s AP who are already using it for the HEC and they've got about 200 terabytes already live globally across 30 subscriptions we've got some really strong case studies around Nestle Nike mention graphics of course we've also got on the slide there and really why we're working with those customers when we've done sort of bake-offs around the performance of perhaps as your files versus as your NetApp files movies those performance workloads we've identified on those bake-offs we actually outperform and provide best performance overall in those on-premise environments so we're happy to their customers to test that test it for yourself to see how good that performance actually is and then from there you can see potentially the other workloads that you want to move across many into a sure I guess you know the format of this typically is around geeking out so do you mind sharing that yes so let me just go through this display yeah so here's another I get architecture so this is we touched on this before and talked about how a generic files does what's called service injection of the resource in answer directly into the subject into the Soniya to the v-net virtual network within answer itself the store private address ranges and as you can see here on the screen you've got the highlight these so you've got the subnets here in addre there's another dedicated 7th delegates on the idea so these actually the music broke this off so this bit down the bottom here that a circle is is what's called this delegated subnet so once you deploy engineer that files into a subnet then that blocks off their subject Justin in that forest so there's a in the drops page there's a sizing sort of guide as to how many addresses that you want available within this subject but then once you deploy that then that is available to every other resource inside the virtual network so this is normally how you would deploy like applications within an Asia you would have different subnets in the same virtual networks you've got at the top here you've got a management subnet where you can have some resources then you've got other subnets here like a hub and a gateway on this side and this is your classic like topology you haven't spoke to apologies and stuff like that so there's nothing new and this sort of this all is what we sort of been recommending for quite some time is to break it up by subject within the same virtual network and then on the left-hand side here is there's a VPN gateway and we've got our secure connection to on-prem so that means your on-prem services can access get access to a generic files as well excellent very good probably a couple of questions rather so in relation to you know the resiliency lights or thing we've talked about it being available a couple of zones and so forth it's Dargan do that yeah so talking about zones actually just with actually mixed life here so resiliency so the way it works is with resiliency you know today the two big ones is available in steps down the bottom here okay so fell ability on the bottom here and seeing them availability stones so let's just focus on them for a second so available to these sets what that is is when you create a virtual machine minimum two or more you stick them into an availability set and that just means within the region then those two volumes they're not going to be in the same rack they're going to be in separate racks so it mitigates the fault of mate so if something happens to one of our hosts for example then you've got two VMs in the velvety set one of them is going to be up guaranteed if one something happens to a host and and things happen doesn't always happen but things can happen so that's the Bell to Lisa and notice I said within a region I'll come back to that mistake availability signs is slightly different availability zones is two or more workloads across zones so you have like a workload in one data center and another workload with another data center and then basically that's your resilience in that in that respect so you can see the difference in the SLA s VM SLA is within the same region availability set its 99.95 and vs. 99.99 for availability zones yeah the thing to think about is the way we do our region's and there's a small sort of a diagram here you can think of this as a region classic region each of those little boxes the data centers and our region's comprised of any number of data centers so 54 regions globally over $100 centers globally as well so each region will have some of the maps as a six data centers for example now the thing you look think about is all those data centers they're not going to be just next door to each other they could be like a few kilometers apart or even maybe $50 apart maybe more and this thing called latency and especially in the enterprise world with s AP an article you don't want high latency between your workloads and so you've got to think about how you're going to sort of overcome this challenge when you want to deploy your applications within Asia is how you where you put your workloads so you don't have any latency issues and so there's a new term that's coming out I haven't got this on the screen but it's called proximity placement groups so what that is proximity placement Krug's it's in public preview today and what that means is because we are growing so fast it's basically guarantee that all of your workloads will sit within a proximity placement group which is basically one area of a data center which means latency is not a thing anymore you don't have to worry about latency because it all sits together in a way what it also means in a couple of months or a few months I've told is engineer that farmers will also support proximity placement groups which means then he can go ahead and deploy engineer that files set up NFS proximity placement group have your application workloads or back to your new tier database workloads in the same proximity placement group and then together you're gonna have like super super super low latency well that's fantastic so that's a few months we all things if I wasn't a things all a few months yeah things happen faster than the cloud so that's gonna that's going to cut them away like some of having to architect where things need to be placed if we can definitely so the degree night night I saw you kind of skip over one of the slides and you know I was I know sweet what are the use cases we have is around ESA P so that you mind just coming off this is sorry for hi yes s AP is one of the angle really the biggest one of the biggest applications we have today globally and a lot of enterprise companies today use this application for various workloads and purposes and they have a number of applications s AP is known for large machines right large vm's and high performance a lot of it runs within memories of our memory machines and so when it comes to architecting saying x AP application for example in within antigen and using Azure data files this is what it looks like yeah and this is a mix of both AJ and dr and so if i do a circle here you've got HTML ft inside here and so that's within the region region 1 and then you've got on the right hand side here the region 2 which is or sort of dr so you've got a synchronous replication here and a synchronous now just on this there's two types of replication so this is showing sa p replication between the two data centers and then you've also got asynchronous to the second region the other part the other ops that you have is cloud sync so like any application when it comes to replication and dr which one's the best one to use you've got cloud sync you've also got as an option if you're using other workloads within windows we have a product called psyche recovery which also does replication as well but you've also got application replications those sequels not immune to this sequence got its own application engine so there's Oracle as well so the question is we just want to use now generally the rule of thumb is is if the application has its own replication engine 4dr use it because it knows the application it understands it all the intricacies of it and everything else it understands are quite well if anything else if it doesn't have a replication engine and you want to fall back to something else use the storage and that's where the cloud sync comes in okay and so from from the dr side of things you're looking at also services such as cloud volumes on all right very good anything else on the architecture this i fatigues are behind the battle seems another quick slide of what it looks like so we've showed this slide before of the architecture sort of what the what you see on the portal so the capacity pools and the volumes and things like that but then down the bottom here under the covers there's a bare metal fleet of nano fibers I guess maybe Phoebe did you want to call on you on the spider did you want to sort of talk about that the backend technology see if of an app oh well thank you yeah well um I guess just aside from the fact that you know it's running on an inner enterprise grade hardware that's been servicing customers for over 25 years and sorry you know you get the resiliency of something that's kind of being engineered to run high performance workloads for a very long time at very high performance yeah and you can see now we have multiple multiple nodes for you know and within your a region or within a data center obviously there's a lot of resiliency there - I can't go thanks so if you wanna have a look at some demos how does the main questions yeah well your to your demo I guess there was a question about you know can as your file sink also be used to migrate from on-premises to as your net at files good question so you say as your file sink basically will do it at the replication level so if you're using your disks I don't think you can but we'll have to come back I don't think so not at this point okay we'll get back to you and I guess there's a couple of questions here about features that are available which I think you're about to walk into so I'm going to let you let you show show that in the demo and I guess the other question actually you showed cloud volumes on SAP and I wanted to ask Chris about this since you have our solution engineers who have worked with cloud volumes on tap in Andhra before I guess how do you see the difference between cloud volumes on tap and as your net up files they both address services from the marketplace and available through Azure what your team seeing and what do you see so I think it generally it's really around the performance that you need and the workloads that you're you're looking at so we have a number of customers who really like to maintain the control over the provisioning of the volumes and I took a thing where they have a lower level control of that and so cloud volumes on tap really allows the the storage administrators to to maintain that sort of level of control over their the sizing and the partitioning or what sort of thing as opposed to as you know files it's a lot less from an admin perspective to actually provision that as you as you saw it was provisioned within seconds to get that up and running with only needing to find what performance you wanted in the side that you wanted so to two core things a little of administration you want to have her over your storage infrastructure as well as the performance tiers is what what we're seeing in the field today just to add to Chris's point also by going with the native product within Asia which is a generic files it's a really good opportunity to draw down on the enterprise agreement that you've negotiated as a customer of Microsoft and potentially like going with the on top solution that's a different pricing model and maybe something you need to establish with NetApp as well so if you guys want to see what it looks like from windows and linux yes please yeah okay so one I prepared earlier so his windows let me just log into my Linux machine using a bunch of you for this and it's great one big thing ah yeah we love Linux and we're loving it out okay so here we go here's my Linux machine it's super super small and if these tools work yes it will okay so we can see yeah you're going to the file system this is the GUI version of Linux I'll show you what it looks like behind the scenes through the SSH well you know the Linux community though it's got fingers to be able to use the keyboard in fact I think I read recently that in Microsoft Azure there's more Linux workloads now than Windows Server your the reason it's like over 67 crazy like that okay this is the like really really try and find a hard to see so what we'll do is make it easier if we go into my part on the right and just bring this across trying to never get to different screens yeah so if I bring this across goto so this is makes it super super easy so if you go down to the resource group where your workloads are and pick your VM and then up Linux and go to connect so this is new ssh public IP address normally you wouldn't expose this externally but for testing purposes only yes that's fine normal you go internal only for security purposes okay good old PowerShell we can go like this enter put it in the password and we are even and then if I can get my command correctly so to list all of the disks on this machine it'll be that and as you can see down the bottom is our volume for a generic files which is mounted to okay so the other bottom here you've got the the volume for as you edit files which is an internal IP address 10.1 3.4 and yeah that's going to the other subnet so that's what it looks like with in Linux and then you can do whatever you want with that so on top of that now as far as Windows is concerned and by the way to get that to work and to install the or to activate the Linux NFS client here's that Windows machine so both we that Windows machine and Linux machine are running on the same virtual network I might actually show you that as quickly so where it's sitting this okay so here's my virtual network what it looks like subnets ok he's the net file summit I was talking about before so when you deploy a generic files in the volume into a into a subnet it's dark headed to there which means the boxes after that I know and up 250 pressing if I can use however in here in default I've got my other machines I can actually say that yeah connected devices so it is my Linux between and there's my Windows machine so they're both sitting within the default subnet I because they're part of the same virtual network by the default the subnet that these are we can get to the other side there nicely and you can lock this off by the way so this is just out of the box you can put in that work security work in here you can put UTIs and whatever else you like without your networking and you can do more security around this if you like ok so back to my Windows machine so for Windows what it looks like is is this so I've got my share here and I've just I've set up the client for NFS so if you go into the control panel programs and features and add the feature in for client for NFS it takes you two seconds to install it there's no real required and you can stop all click in here go straight in and you've got access files if you need to use it so this is the demo now what I will do while I'm in here is show you a tool that I use this is one that we use commonly with Microsoft is to do testing for iOS so the way this works the ER is disk speed utility here it's got 64 K which is the box size and down the bottom at 16 so if you remember before we talked about with the different tiers everything is based on a 16 K block size which is this one D on the bottom here and then if we run that actually this one that first based on 128 big file this shouldn't take too long probably take about 10 seconds and if we go to the download section where it's gonna end up we ought to see what it looks like so it's running it's a 4 terabyte volume so if we go back to the PC say yeah so this is start 100 terabytes of space and while we're waiting I get a my calculator which is you know the screen so I'll just bring this across your UCF okay so hundred terabytes of space so you'll see here it's eye ops changed out to 16 and you'll see here that's back to 16 okay so that's four hundred hundred thousand yes it has okay beautiful so get it downloads this one yeah okay and then we sing the same 409 so that that's basically messes up sorry this is quite simple as though it's a simple test windows and you can do one of our Linux and if we did another test yeah which is I'm you don't have to - sorry to interrupt yeah but I was doing that sorry um I would say if you are on this cool and you want to see the other if you have a demo please do reach out to your your local Microsoft or your net app team and we'd be more than happy to show you we do have resources so if you could just pull up that last slide just so that we can get that into the recording we do have resources on the Microsoft and cloud site so you can go and have a look at those URLs that are gonna pop up in a moment thank you and we will yeah we will also be at Microsoft ignite in November which is November the 4th to 8th in Florida will also be at the Aneta insight conference which is October 28 to 30 so if you do want to see what's new in the time there please do please do come along to those two amazing events and thank you so much - I guess today thank your Arun and mark for a really really interesting really caught up in that demo
