Key development: IBM SmartCloud Enterprise adds object storage
OEM Agreement with Nirvanix On October 12th 2011, IBM announced an OEM agreement with Nirvanix to utilize Nirvanix
storage technology as the base for a new storage feature in IBM SmartCloud Enterprise
Official Name: IBM SmartCloud Enterprise – object storage
The object storage solution:Provides object based storage accessible via the internet
Managed, highly secure cloud storage service developed for today's enterprises.
Intelligently stores, delivers and processes storage requests in the best network locations globally, providing the optimal user experience.
Comprised of standards-based access to integrated services, powered by Nirvanix's patent-pending technology and infrastructure.
Object storage use cases:Object storage for VMs: Web based storage for applications running in the SCE
Object storage only: Web based storage for applications running on client infrastructure
Object storage for copies: Customers looking to replace in-house storage for backup.
Object storage for collaboration: Customers wanting the ability to share storage content globally.

What is IBM SmartCloud Enterprise - object storage?
CustomerMaster account
App/Business unitNamespaces
User Subaccounts
User Folders
User File objects
HTTP POST to upload and HTTP GET to downloadhttp://downloads.MyCompany.com/Application/Useraccount/Folder/Filename
Internet
Files and folders accessed and managed through simple Web APIs or a CloudNAS interface
Self Service management console• Manages multiple file namespaces &
user accounts• Web based providing secure access
from anywhere
Designed for unstructured content of virtually unlimited size
• Not designed for high I/O, low latency workloads.
Billed only for storage consumed Highly reliable object based storage:
• All files individually secured• All files individually tagged with
metadata• All files individually controlled

What is object storage?
Object storage is an approach that combines the file data together with its metadata and assigned a unique identifier. • This differs from traditional filesystems using folderfile structure• It is well suited for fixed content unstructured data
Unstructured data• No predefined format or identifiable structure• i.e. free form text, bitmap images, .pdf, .doc, .gif, .jpg, .mov
Structured data• Predefined data model or format to organize data so that it is
identifiable • i.e. a relational database

IBM SmartCloud Enterprise storage options
Storage Type Instance Specific
How to attach Backup Use cases Speed / Resiliency
Ephemeral• Price is included in
the instance hourly rate
• Volumes and sizes predetermined by instance type (60GB to 2TB)
Yes:Provisioned as part of the instance provisioning process.
De-provisioned with instance.
• Attached at VM provisioning
• Only first 60 GB root segment is formatted
• Remaining storage to be formatted and mounted by the instance owner.
• Client is responsible for backup,.
• All data is captured in instance image capture process.
• Cloud backup solutions can be used as add-on service / agreement

and only one instance at a time.
• Data and format is retained between mounts until block is deleted.
• Attached to VM when the VM is provisioned or attach/detach dynamically.
• Up to 3 blocks per instance.
• Block sizes up to 10TB are provisioned from the SCE Console
• Client is responsible for backup,

IBM SmartCloud Enterprise – object storage pricing
Object Storage Average consumption
One Copy Pricing*(Per GB per Month)
First 1 TB $ 0.20
Next 99 TB $ 0.19
Next 400 TB $ 0.18
Next 500 TB $ 0.17
Next 4000 TB $ 0.14
Over 5000 TB $ 0.11
Pricing:
Pricing is tiered based on average consumption for a month, calculated as follows:
• A snapshot of storage consumption is collected daily
• An average of the daily snapshots is calculated for the days in a billing period
• Pricing table to the right is applied to that average
Billing Example:
Customer consumes on average 500TB in a given month
$0.20 x 1 TB (1,024 GBs)
$0.19 x 99 TB (101,376 GBs)
$0.18 x 400 TB (409,600 GBs)
*US prices shown. Local prices apply.*US prices shown. Local prices apply.

Granular Usage-Based Pricing
750TB of Storage Capacity
Example: Planning for a 750TB Deployment over 10 Months
But Using Only 75TB Per Month
Pay Only For What You Use; Lower CapEx Instantaneously

IBM Smart Cloud Enterprise – object storage Usage Scenarios
Workload Sales Scenario
Dev/TestCustomers creating and evaluating test instances on object storage to reduce dev & test expenses. Will more than likely be a high usage bucket of the non-storage only tiered usage.
Tech RefreshCustomers that have existing storage supporting tier 3/4 workloads that are coming off of maintenance, reached end of life or is coming off lease and are looking for alternate sourcing options.
New Workload / Service
Customer has a new application coming online that will generate a large amount of file growth and does not want to make a capital investment to build out the capability.
Business Transformation
Customers are looking for new ways to establish new cash flows for existing capabilities and intellectual property.
ISVs
As ISV solution providers leverage the SC-E capability to provide solutions for their end customers, they will require object storage capabilities within the context of their application workflow to provide resiliency and/or backup to disk functions.
Pure storage / 2nd copy
Customers looking for a 3rd party cloud storage option to move certain data to the cloud to be more cost effective.

Primary Use Cases
Infrequently accessed unstructured content
Fixed content
Secondary copies of data
Any data that must be retained for regulatory compliance
Data that must be shared across data centers, cities, states or countries—distributed content & collaboration
© 2012 IBM Corporation20
Object Storage for Archive
Archival storage• Required for permanent data
• Required for compliance and eDiscovery
• Commonly stored on expensive disk, very rarely accessedBut still takes up expensive data center space
Wastes power & cooling
Requires servicing & maintenance
• object storage solves this archival problemNo data center space, power, cooling, infrastructure, maint, or management
• Symantec eVault leverages this capability

Object Storage Solves the Backup Problem
– Leverage object storage to solve this problem– Direct Backup/Recovery to/from object storage = Simpler DR– Unlimited Capacity for long term retention

Panzura – File System ControllerBenefits:Point-in-snapshot at administrator defined intervals
- Users and Admins can access snapshot directories to recover data at file, directory or file system level
Multi-site data reduction- Deduplication engine is distributed
across all file system controllers, allowing the global file network to be deduplicated
- Core capacity consumed reflects a single instance of all files that have traversed the Panzura system into object storage.
Self-healing Architecture- strong, multi-level checksums to
detect silent data corruption- Auto corrects corruption problems
and automatically repairs the anomaly that caused it.
Full Crash Consistency- Protects data when sudden,
unforeseen events occur- Simply recovers its last state and
continues operation- All writes acknowledged to hosts
are safe

– Supports CIFS and NFS access– Windows and Linux compatible
CloudNAS Caches• Frequently accessed data
• Providing local performance
• Eliminating Branch Office Infra• Providing shared storage requirements
CloudNAS Capabilities •LAN Based Protocols• Cache• Encryption• SSL• Multi-threading• TCP Tuned• File Integrity Checker

Situations driving consideration of SmartCloud Enterprise - object storage
1. Infrequently accessed unstructured content that need to be kept or retained for regulatory compliance
2. Need forstorage option that automatically replicates data across multiple geographic locations so it can be accessed locally by the users in geography
3. Need of storage option that dynamically scales up (or down) to support billions of objects?
4. Need for high security Cloud Storage
5. Way to only pay to manage the storage actually used
