Smarter Storage Solutions: Taming the explosion of information

IBM Virtualized Disk Solution

Shiva Anand Neiker – Sales Leader, STG ASEAN

Globally, systems and infrastructure are reaching a breaking point.

� Explosion of data, transactions, and digitally-aware devices strains IT infrastructure and operations.

� Exponential growth in communications subscribers and services exposes bandwidth limitations.

� Supply inefficiencies and demand spikes tax energy and utility systems.

� Clogged and congested roadways impact productivity.

� Networks, supply chains, and borders face a proliferation of new risks and threats.

Meanwhile, customer expectations and competitive

pressures are increasing.

We must move past today’s challenges to seize tomorrow’s opportunities

HOW CAN WE ADDRESS … WHILE ALSO LAYING A FOUNDATION FOR …

HIGHER SERVICE EXPECTATIONS

Internet-savvy consumers and employees

expect 24x7 access to quality services.

RISING COST PRESSURES

Staggering levels of complexity and

inefficiency drive up cost and stifle innovation.

NEW RISKS & THREATS

The connected, collaborative world is also a

more vulnerable world.

BREAKTHOUGH PRODUCTIVITY

Almost any person, object, or service can become

digitally aware and connected creating new

possibilities for change.

ACCELERATED VALUE CREATION

More adaptive capabilities like cloud computing

create new opportunities.

INCREASED VELOCITY

The faster pace of business and society demands

a more responsive, agile infrastructure.

4


It’s time to start thinking differentlyabout infrastructure.

5


In this smarter world, we need our infrastructure to propel us forward, not hold us back.

Infrastructure that is instrumented, interconnected and intelligent.

Infrastructure that brings together business and IT to create new possibilities.

We need a dynamic infrastructure.

What if there was a storage system that could …

… scale without disruption up to large enterprise requirements yet was priced to appeal to SMBs

… transparently migrate data from your existing storage

… integrate new storage with your existing storage, reducing the need for more investment

… include sophisticated replication and thin provisioning functions with no need for extra hardware or server software

… simplify management and double productivity

… improve storage utilization by as much as 30%

… include management functions to automate provisioning and monitor end-to-end SAN health

Features: Efficiency

Thin provisioning

� More productive use of available storage.

� Across all supported host platforms.

EFFICIENCY

Without thin provisioning, pre-allocated

space is reserved whether the

application uses it or not.

With thin provisioning, applications can

grow dynamically, but only consume space

they are actually using.

Dynamic

growth

� Analyze system performance and throughput.

� Transparently rearrange the data to eliminate hot-spots and balance utilization of all components.

Hot-spots due to poor data layout. Optimized performance and throughput.

The University of Auckland

Business challenge:

New Zealand’s leading university and research facility, The University of Auckland supports approximately 40,000 students and staff members. Facing expanding data storage requirements and inadequate data availability, the university’s IT organization set out to address these issues as part of a larger project to build out a new primary data center.

Solution:

Fully virtualized IT infrastructure

� VMware ESX Server

� IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller

� IBM System Storage DS4800, DS4100

Benefits:

� Reduced data center footprint through server consolidation.

� Improved storage utilization and reduced power and cooling costs.

� Improved application availability and centralized management.

� Reduced total cost of ownership of the IT infrastructure.

“IBM’s vision of storage and

storage virtualization matched our

view of how it should be done.”

“Virtualization has enabled us to

remove a lot of the physical

infrastructure, which means we’re

not using as much power, we’re

not using as much cooling. It has

reduced our carbon footprint and

lowered our operating costs while

giving us room to grow.”

-- John Askew, system architect,

The University of Auckland
