Rapid Data Growth

Flat Storage Budgets

The Storage Efficiency Challenge

–  Information Doubling every 18 to 24 months

–  Storage Growing 20-40% per year

–  Storage Budgets are flat

–  Storage Efficiency fills the gap

–  Value of Information is increasing due to business analytics, etc.

–  Cost of Losing Information has skyrocketed

–  Cost of Searching for Information is growing

–  Businesses are Spending More on data protection and retention


Stop Storing So Much § IBM Real-time Compression … up to 80% less space § IBM ProtecTIER … up to 95% smaller disk backups

Move Data to the Right Place § IBM Easy Tier … up to 3 times more performance

with just 2% solid-state

Store More with What’s On the Floor § IBM Storage Virtualization … up to 30% more utilization § IBM Thin Provisioning … up to 35% more utilization

* Microsoft Exchange Solution Reviewed Program (ESRP). http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/ff182054 Performance is based on measurements and projections using benchmarks in a controlled environment. The actual throughput that any user will experience will vary depending upon considerations such as the amount of multiprogramming in the user's job stream, the I/O configuration, the storage configuration, and the workload processed. Therefore, no assurance can be given that an individual user will achieve throughput improvements equivalent to the performance ratios stated here. Disk efficiency is (#mailboxes * IOPS per mailbox / number of disks) * mailbox capacity, using vendor postings as of October 1, 2011

‘XIV gave us an immediate three-fold performance increase and as we add capacity, it will get even faster.’

–  3 Tier Support for DS8800 –  Reduce dependency on high cost,

low capacity fibre channel drives –  Hot data moves to solid-state drives

for faster performance –  Less active data moves to near-line

storage, without archiving –  No user or application changes

–  3TB Drives – Expand capacity to over 2 Petabytes; increases data density

independently. Add a second control enclosure anytime

–  Non-disruptive upgrades

–  Manage as a single system


Truly Integrated File and Block Storage Manage block and file applications with a single storage system

Support file access protocols –  NFS, CIFS, FTP, HTTPS, SCP

Simplify administration with an intuitive GUI for block and file data –  Not a launcher for two different interfaces


Improving Efficiency and Performance for Virtual Desktops Virtual Desktop Infrastructure Environments

–  Hundreds or thousands of virtual desktops –  Moderate activity with peak loads

•  Morning login (boot storms) •  Virus scans •  Software Distribution

Key Storage Requirements –  Unified Storage

•  File storage for mounted home shares •  Block storage for virtual disk volumes

–  Peak workload optimization

IBM Easy Tier Optimizes Peak Loads –  Lower cost SSD for Storwize V7000 Unified

•  Average response time: Up to 4 times faster •  Peak response time: Up to 25% faster


IBM Active Cloud Engine for Storwize V7000 Unified

Policy-driven file administration –  Examples

• Place executive’s files on fast storage; mp3 files on near-line storage

• After 1 year, move inactive files to lowest cost pool

Reduce storage costs –  Automatically move inactive files to archive disk

or tape. Delete unwanted or expired files –  Move files between storage pools with no

change to applications or user processes

Optimize performance –  Automatically match file usage to storage

characteristics


Single view of files Files flow to the users

Files live closer to users
