Storage Pressures Storage Pressures
Storage growth estimates: 60-100% per yearGrowth of e-business, e-commerce, and e-mail now common for organizations to manage many TB of data
Mission critical data must be continuously available
Regulations require long-term archiving
More storage-intensive applications on market
Storage and Security are the #1 pain points for the IT community (shared the #1 spot)
Managing storage growth effectively is a challenge
Adding more DASincreases complexity
doesn’t solve many data protection/high availability problems

Architecture and Platform Development Has Responded to Storage Trends in the Industry
Storage Integration: Windows Server 2003Storage Integration: Windows Server 2003
With integrated storage, Windows Server 2003 facilitates:Data Protection and Recovery
Volume Shadow Copy Services (VSS)ASR (Automated System Recovery)
Availability, Scalability, and PerformanceMultipath IO (MPIO)Distributed File System (DFS) File and System Performance (SMB, NFS, Chkdsk, Vrfydsk)
Interoperability and Management Support for both iSCSI and Fibre Channel Virtual Disk Service (VDS)SAN Integration
SAN BootFlexible Volume MountingStorportHBA APIFibre Channel Information Tool
Hardware Partners Are Key Enablers for These Solutions
Storage Integration: Windows Server 2003 SP1Storage Integration: Windows Server 2003 SP1
With SP1, Windows Server 2003 supports LUNs of size greater than 2TB
Maximum NTFS Filesystem size: 256TB
Maximum Basic/Dynamic Volume size: 273 Bytes
Who benefits?Our premier server partners
Storage array vendors, many of whom support LUN> 2TB
Customers with large file applications like video-based applications, geo-exploration that want to stay on Windows
