tHE NETWORK IS still the Rodney Dangerfield of enterprise storage infrastructuremdashit just canrsquot seem to get the respect it needs and sometimes doesnrsquot even getthe attention it deserves Sure you care about the network when it gets toocongested to carry data around efficiently or when you run out of places toplug things in but for the most part itrsquos just there

But a couple of developments in the last few years have generated moreinterest in the neglected network Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) toutedas the great storage uniter offers a way to knit together otherwise disparatenetworks making Fibre Channel and Ethernet networks function as one (atleast in theory)

FC has been the de facto stan-dard connective tissue for enter-prise-class storage environmentsand with its storage-centric proto-col design itrsquos generally acceptedas the performance leader But Ethernetrsquos stake in the storage shop has grown significantly overthe last five or so years as NAS systems have proliferated in re-sponse to the ever-rising tide of filestorage Ethernetrsquos reach has also been extended as iSCSI continues to gain ashare of the block storage market iSCSI didnrsquot exactly take the data center bystorm but based on our research its incremental growth puts it in more than40 of the countryrsquos data storage shops

That makes Ethernet-based storage a player for both file and block And italmost makes it the default candidate for multiprotocol storage where blockand file share the same system which is quite possibly the fastest growingsegment of the storage system market

Every IT shop has years of Ethernet experience and the hardware it hangson is tried true and pretty cheap Fibre Channel aficionados will say thatrsquos alltrue but you donrsquot get the performance of a network specifically designed for

storage Well now you do get that performance (or nearly so) as 10 GigabitEthernet (10 GbE) gear begins to replace the old 1 GbE stuff in most shopsEven at a slightly slower 8 Gbps Fibre Channel might still have the perform-ance edge because of its storage pedigree But itrsquos not that much of an edgeand the Ethernet roadmap bolstered by the ratification of the IEEE 8023bastandard last year has 40 GbE on the near horizon with products already being demonstrated and 100 GbE to follow hard on its heels

Add the emergence of SAS disks as a replacement for FC disks on theback end and how SAS can easilycombine with SATA drives for tieredmultiprotocol storage and it lookslike the NASiSCSIEthernet combowill be pretty tough to top

Where does that leave Fibre Chan-nel over Ethernet If Fibre Channel isgetting squeezed out of the storagepicture and Ethernet is destined to be the data center-wide network ofchoice why should we even bother with FCoE FCoE appears to be a bridgetechnology (pardon the pun) that does a good job of linking FC and EthernetThe question is how long will we need that bridge and how many companiesneed to connect those two environments Is it worth investing in CNAs andspecial switches and new interfaces Wersquore not seeing a ton of FCoE storagesystems so maybe storage vendors donrsquot see a lot of potential for a big pay-back on that investment

Of course there are some shops that can use FCoE now use it effectivelyand save money in doing so But I donrsquot expect theyrsquore in the majority

Ultimately it looks like itrsquoll be an Ethernet world which will certainlymake things simpler And as IO virtualization catches up with server andstorage virtualization working with a single network architecture will makeit even easier to virtualize and share network resources and to use themmore efficiently 2

eXTERNAL STORAGE VIRTUALIZATION (ESV) is the use of intelligent storage controllersthat provide volume management data management and protection featuresby creating a virtual storage system using external hardware and capacity Thegoal of ESV is to consolidate management and intelligent features and to enabletiering and heterogeneous replication If you implement a high-end intelligentESV system you can scale with lots of dumber and less-expensive systemsbehind it creating a great balance of high-end capabilities with lower costhardware This all looks good on paper but if the value proposition is so apparentwhy hasnrsquot ESV become the dominate storage infrastructure in our data centers

There are several reasons why ESV isnrsquot pervasive The first is that there areonly a handful of leading vendors pro-viding ESV solutions including HitachiData Systems IBM and NetApp Onecould argue that if EMC Corp decidedfive years ago that ESV was the new vision for storage it would probably bethe dominant architecture embraced by IT professionals today

Hitachi was the first to combine itsleading enterprise-class storage systemwith support for ESV technology back in2003 The company has done a great job of implementing ESV technology and in many cases has taken business away from the likes of EMC because of this unique capability The Hitachi ESV story has been getting better over timebecause of new technology that clearly quantifies its value Itrsquos able to providethin provisioning reclaim unused storage capacity and provide sub-LUN tieringto external storage systems

Sub-LUN tiering could be a ldquokiller apprdquo for external storage virtualization butusers are cautious of an idea that scatters their data across virtual volumesspanning multiple storage systems If Hitachi can validate that sub-LUN tieringis highly reliable when combined with ESV it could save customers millionsand enable them to further leverage their unique architecture

Three vendors still stalking storage virtualization

Overwhelmed by all the buzz around server virtualizationThere are still solid alternativesmdashwith real benefitsmdash

to virtualizing storage systems

Hitachi was the firstto combine its lead-ing enterprise-classstorage system withsupport for ESVtechnology back in 2003

However while ESV technology has helped to keep Hitachi in the enterprise-class storage game it hasnrsquot been enough to make them dominant The enter-prise-class storage system market is still a toe-to-toe battle with gains andlosses measured in inches not miles

IBM has offered its external SAN Volume Controller (SVC) appliance for anumber of years and itrsquos been adopted by a sizable number of IBM users Themost frequent complaints I hear from IBM SVC users center around its costto the point where price has been the key deterrent to taking advantage ofsome of SVCrsquos coolest features like heterogeneous replication One IT profes-sional asked me for advice about performing data replication between an IBMDS8000 and a DS4000 even though his company has an SVC deployed The ITpro said it was too expensive to use theSVC so they were seeking alternatives

I rarely run into non-IBM storageusers who have implemented SVC so itdoesnrsquot look like IBM has done a partic-ularly good job increasing its footprintbeyond its existing customer base

NetApprsquos V-Series has been a popularproduct enabling companies to leveragethe intelligence of NetApp FAS usingSAN-attached storage on the back endItrsquos actually a more popular approachthan you might think Again itrsquos not NetApprsquos primary strategy but it pro-vides a smart alternative for users whohave already invested a ton of money in their current SAN infrastructure

Those three products from major vendors arenrsquot all that competitive witheach other The Hitachi USP V and VSP are high-end enterprise-class systemsfocused on SAN storage providing a storage system that also enables externalstorage virtualization IBMrsquos SVC seems to have been designed as a complementto IBMrsquos DS8000 and DS4000 storage systems And NetApprsquos V-Series is more ofa midrange appliance that provides both NAS and SAN external storage virtual-ization I doubt these three vendors ever run into each other in competitivesituations

External storage virtualization has made an impact and will continue to doso but it has failed to establish any sort of dominance in the data center Costcomplexity and the risk of the unknown are still major impediments to itsadoption

Another reason ESV isnrsquot more pervasive is that only Hitachi has made thistechnology a core part of its strategy IBM and NetApp have it in their portfoliosbut itrsquos not a top priority in terms of growth or vision The other major storagevendors including Dell Inc EMC Hewlett-Packard (HP) Co and Oracle Corp

Managing storage for virtual desktops

Virtual desktops promise savings andconsolidation similar to whatserver virtualization

delivers but once again storage is a big issueBY ERIC SIEBERT

implementing a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) involvesmany critical considerations but storage may be the most vitalUser experience can often determine the success of a VDI implementation and storage is perhaps the one area that has the most impact on the user experience If you donrsquot design implement and manage your VDI storage properly yoursquore askingfor trouble

VDIrsquoS IMPACT ON STORAGEThe biggest challenge for storage in VDI environments is accommodating theperiods of peak usage when storage IO is at its highest The most commonevent that can cause an IO spike is the ldquoboot stormrdquo that occurs when alarge group of users boots up and loads applications simultaneously Initialstartup of a desktop is a very resource-intensive activity with the operatingsystem and applications doing a lot of reading from disk Multiplied by hundredsof desktops the amount of storage IO generated can easily bring a storagearray to its knees Boot storms arenrsquotjust momentary occurrencesmdashthey canlast from 30 minutes to two hours andcan have significant impact

After users boot up log in and loadapplications storage IO typically set-tles down however events like patch-ing desktops antivirus updatesscansand the end-of-day user log off canalso cause high IO Having a datastorage infrastructure that can handlethese peak periods is therefore critical

Cost is another concern The ROIwith VDI isnrsquot the same as server virtu-alization so getting adequate fundingcan be a challenge A proper storage infrastructure for VDI can be very costlyand to get the required IO operationsper second (IOPS) you may have to pur-chase more data storage capacity than yoursquoll need

Expect to spend more time on administration too Hundreds or thousandsof virtual disks for the virtual desktops will have to be created and maintainedwhich can be a difficult and time-consuming task

DETERMINING STORAGE REQUIREMENTSTo properly design a VDI infrastructure you need to understand the resource requirements needed by virtual desktop users Donrsquot make assumptions toproperly calculate resource requirements you need actual statistics from theusers whose desktops will be virtualized Profiling the users and measuringtheir resource usage is the key to determining storage requirements Productsfrom vendors like Lakeside Software Inc and Liquidware Labs Inc can collectdata from usersrsquo desktops so you can perform an assessment of your environ-ment and determine your needs The longer you collect data the less likely itwill be affected by unusual or periodic activities

The key measurement for storage is IOPS A number of factors can affectIOPS (caching block size) but the base calculation is derived from hard drivemechanics rotational speed (rpm) latency and seek time A typical 7200 rpmdrive might be capable of 75 IOPS a 10K drive 125 IOPS a 15K drive 175 IOPSand a solid-state drive 5000 IOPS Spread across a RAID group you can multi-ply the number of drives in the RAID group times the IOPS of the drive to getthe total IOPS the RAID group is capable of (eg six 15K drives x 175 IOPS =1050 IOPS) There are other factors such as caching that can increase IOPSwhile RAID overhead and latency in network storage protocols can decrease it

You should always measure actual user resource usage but there are accepted averages you can use as a starting point The averages are based on the characteristics for certain types of users

Donrsquot design your VDI storage to handle just average IO loads it has to accommodate peak IO loads to provide a good user experience Having enoughstorage capacity is obviously important but how it performs is more importantBecause the number of spindles plays a big part in a storage arrayrsquos performanceyou may end up with more capacity than you need just to get the required IOPS

FIBRE CHANNEL vs iSCSI vs NASThe type of storage is often dictated by budgets and available existing storageinfrastructure A Fibre Channel (FC) SAN would provide ample performance butacquiring it may make VDI too expensive to implement iSCSI and NAS (NFS)are attractive alternatives but you need to ensure they can meet IO require-ments Using 10 Gb Ethernet (10 GbE) can dramatically increase the throughputto iSCSI and NAS devices but if you havenrsquot implemented 10 GbE yet it couldbe just as expensive as implementing FC

Peak IOPS loads may exceed the number of IOPS an iSCSI or NAS (NFS) device can handle But adding cache or an accelerator in front of the storagedevice may improve performance sufficiently Both iSCSI and NFS add CPUoverhead to the host server for iSCSI this can be offset with hardware initiatorsAccelerator solutions typically wonrsquot work with NAS but there are other cachingsolutions available for NAS (NFS)

LUN SIZES AND RAIDWhen sizing LUNsvolumes for VDI donrsquot focus on performance rather thancapacity to ensure that your LUNS can provide the required IOPS There trulyis no magic number for LUN sizes as many factors come into play Generallythe more spindles you have in the RAIDgroup that makes up your LUN the better You also shouldnrsquot size your LUNstoo small for the number of virtual desk-tops yoursquoll have on them Whether or notyoursquore using full virtual disks or linkedclones will also influence sizing as thelatter requires much less disk space

You have a range of RAID options toachieve either better protection or betterperformance A key factor that will in-fluence your RAID choice is the readwrite ratio of your virtual desktopsWhen reading data from a RAID group therersquos no IO penalty associated withthe RAID overhead but therersquos an IO penalty when writing The more protectionyou want the more it will cost you in IO penalties For example RAID 1 hasan IO penalty of two as writes have to be written to both drives with RAID 5it increases to four and for RAID 6 itrsquos six If your IO workloads will involvemore writing than reading you want to use a RAID level that has less of apenalty when writing Having a larger write cache in your array controller or using a custom RAID level like NetApprsquos RAID-DP can also help

USE LINKED CLONES TO SAVE STORAGE

LINKED CLONES can be an invaluable feature to use in a virtual desk-top infrastructure (VDI) environment Linked clones work by havinga single master virtual machine (VM) that holds an image of thebase operating system the desktops will use All virtual desktopsread from this image with any writes captured in a separate deltafile created for each VM Delta files are typically small althoughthey can grow if every disk block was written tomdashbut thatrsquos unlikelyto happen Linked clones can be periodically refreshed to includepatches and operating system and application updates Linkedclones offer clear advantages but they can be more complicated to maintain than full disk images

A key factor that willinfluence your RAIDchoice is the readwrite ratio of yourvirtual desktops

DRIVE TYPESSAS drives offer better performance but SATA drives can lower storage costsFast 15K drives can speed things up but at an increased cost compared to 10Kdrives Solid-state drives (SSDs) offer blazing performance but have a heftyprice tag Choosing drives to handle virtual desktop infrastructure workloadsusually comes down to buying the best drives you can afford Slower performingSATA drives typically arenrsquot desirable for most VDI workloads so SAS drives are abetter choice

The platters of a 15K drive read and write data faster and overall latency is reduced but the head actuator that moves across the drive to access datadoesnrsquot So even if the drive is spinning 50 faster overall performance increasesby approximately 30 which results in higher IOPS

You can mix and match drive types to provide faster storage where neededand use cheaper slower storage for less demanding workloads You mightstore the master disks for linked clones on fast SSD storage and the deltadisks on SAS storage You could take this a step further and use an automatedtiering application to automatically balance workloads based on demand

CACHING AND SAN ACCELERATORSUsing a caching device or a SAN accelerator can make up for slower perform-ing storage devices and provide more IOPS to deal with boot storms and otherperiodic IO peaks It can also save money because you may be able to useless-expensive storage devices but still be able to handle your VDI IO work-loads Caching device like NetApprsquos Flash Cache can make a huge differenceand can greatly increase the number of IOPS your storage is capable of Con-

VIRTUAL MACHINE RAM AND PAGING

THE AMOUNT OF RAM assigned to a virtual machine can have a bigimpact on its performance If you donrsquot assign enough RAM theoperating system will start paging to disk which can greatlyincrease the amount of disk IOmdasha situation you want to avoid asthe needless storage IO can degrade performance Assigning toomuch RAM can cause swapping at the virtualization layer if a hosthas overcommitted memory which can also degrade storage per-formance Itrsquos OK to overcommit host memory and itrsquos commonlydone with virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) just make sure youdonrsquot completely exhaust your host memory

figure your caching for the appropriate areas events like boot storms gener-ally are very read intensive so a larger read cache will make a big difference

SAN accelerators are a great way to add a high-performance caching layerin front of your existing storage device FalconStorrsquos Network Storage Server(NSS) SAN Accelerator for VMware View is an easy-to-deploy appliance thatcan improve a storage systemrsquos performance It may even let you use low-cost SATA drives for your VDI storage and still get adequate performance

OTHER HELPFUL STORAGE FEATURESStorage arrays come bundled with manyfeatures that can help offload methodsand processes that might normally bedone elsewhere Allowing the storage array to handle the things it does bestcan increase efficiency and perform-ance Here are some storage array fea-tures that can be beneficial in a VDI environment

Data protection Features like Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service(VSS) that save previous versions of changed files can make it easier forusers to restore their own files But implementing this feature on all userdesktops can cause undesirable overhead and increase storage array IO

Data deduplication Data deduplication can greatly reduce the amount of storage yoursquoll need for your virtual desktops especially if yoursquore using full image virtual machines (VMs) instead of linked clones If you have 100 desk-tops each with a 20 GB disk yoursquod needapproximately 2 TB of desktop spaceBut VDI users typically run the same OS and use many of the same applica-tions so therersquos lots of duplicate dataData deduplication can reduce theamount of disk space needed when using full image virtual desktops by as much as 90 and reduce the 2 TB to 200 GB With linked clones a singlemaster disk is shared with all writessaved to a delta file which may be only2 GB to 5 GB But if you plan to use full images data deduplication is a must

Thin provisioning Linked clones are already space efficient so thin provi-sioning wonrsquot provide much of a benefit But when using full image virtualdesktops thin provisioning can be a huge space saver allowing you to over-allocate storage Thin provisioning coupled with data dedupe can providetremendous space savings when using full images Thin provisioning can bedone at the storage array layer or virtualization layer While you can imple-ment it at both layers in a dense VDI environment it might make more senseto offload it to the storage array so therersquos less overhead on the virtualiza-tion layer It also simplifies management by only having to monitor and manage thin disks in just one area

Backupfor remote andmobile devicesThe problem of properly backingup remote site servers and mobilecomputing devices has been withus a long time But with a workforcethatrsquos getting more mobile itrsquos time to get a handle on remote backups

BY W CURTIS PRESTON

THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEMRemote data centers often use standalone backup systems with limited connections to the corporate backup system And because they typicallydeal with smaller data sets remote centers often use less-expensive soft-ware and hardware So while the central data center may be running an enterprise-class backup product backing up to a large target data deduplica-tion system or tape library remote data centers often have workgroup-classbackup products feeding backups to small autoloaders or even individualtape drives

Likewise the corporate data center is likely to have a contract with a media vaulting company to ensure that backups are taken off-site every dayEven better the data center may be using a deduplication system that repli-cates backups off-site immediately Remote data centers on the other handoften have backup systems that may go unmonitored with backups that mayend up in the backseat of someonersquos car if they leave the premises at all

Mobile data backup is in even worse shape Many companies donrsquot have apolicy for backing up mobile data at all other than instructing mobile users tocopy important data to a file server Thatrsquos more about ignoring the problemthan having a viable backup policy in place

WHY MOBILE BACKUP IS SO HARDUnfortunately there are reasons why remote and mobile backup data setshave typically been handled so haphazardly Itrsquos important to understandthese reasons before attempting to fix the problem

The main reason why both remote and mobile data sets arenrsquot treated the same way as data in the corporate data center is the most obvious onebecause theyrsquore not in the corporate data center Slow connections betweenremote sites or users and the central data facility mean the remote systemscanrsquot use the same backup software used in the data center Those backupapplications expect quick connections to servers in the data center and tendto perform very poorly when trying to speak to remote servers Bandwidthlimitations prevent the software from transferring large amounts of data and latency creates delays that cause chatty backup apps to make a lot ofroundtrips between the backup server and client

Another challenge is that the computers being backed up canrsquot be countedon to be powered on at all times the way servers are in a data center Mostlaptop users (and users of other types of remote devices) power down theirdevices or put them to sleep when theyrsquore not in use Less obvious perhapsis that users in remote data centers often do the same thing with their serversand desktop PCs Not a monumental issue but one that must be addressed

The next challenge is at the other end of the spectrum some users leavetheir computers onmdashand apps openmdash24 hours a day So any viable remotebackup system must address the issue of open (and possibly changing) files

Finally therersquos the requirement for bare-metal recovery In the corporatedata center there are plenty of alternatives when a piece of hardware failssuch as a quick swap of an already-imaged drive The best alternate a remote

Given the increasedmobility of todayrsquosworkforce a signifi-cant amount ofwhat your company

considers its intellectual property may reside solely onunprotected remote devices

user may have is a WAN connection with a decent download speed and thehope that someone from corporate IT is available If your remote servers orlaptops have on-site service the vendor can replace the hard drive or any otherbroken components But then yoursquoll need some type of automatic recoverythat requires only the most basic steps (eg inserting a CD and rebooting)

REMOTE AND MOBILE BACKUP SOLVEDThe typical way the remote bandwidth challenge is solved today is by using ablock-level incremental-forever backup technology The key to backing up overslow links is to never again transfer data that has already been transferredFull backups are no more and even traditional incremental backups transfertoo much data You must back up only new unique blocks

Latency is a separate issue Just because a product does block-level incre-mental backups doesnrsquot mean it was designed for use as a remote applicationYou need to ensure that the backup software understands itrsquos communicatingover a remote connection and avoids ldquoroundtripsrdquo whenever possible Even if

DEVICES GETTING MORE MOBILE

iPad users come in two varieties those whouse the iPad to view data and those who useit to create or modify data You donrsquot have toworry about those in the first category But thesecond groupmdashthose who are actually creatingor altering information on the gomdashneeds to beinstructed on how to back up their devices Theeasiest way to do this is to make sure users

sync their iPad with their laptop or desktop PC and then ensure thatdevice gets backed up Itrsquos not a perfect solution but itrsquos probablythe best we have right now given the architecture of the iPad Themain challenge is that each application is given its own file spaceEven if therersquos an application that can back up data remotely overthe Internet it wouldnrsquot necessarily have access to the file spaceswhere data is being created or modified

you have a remote connection with enough bandwidth the latency of the con-nection can severely hamper your backup performance if your backup softwareisnrsquot prepared for it

DEDUPE DOES IT ALLThe technology that most people have adopted to solve many of these prob-lems is data deduplication which significantly reduces the number of bytesthat must be transferred A dedupe system thatrsquos aware of multiple locationswill only back up bytes that are new to the entire system not just bytes thatare new to a particular remote or mobile location So if a file has already beenbacked up from one laptop and the same file resides on another laptop thesecond instance of the file wonrsquot be backed up

There are two basic types of deduplication target deduplication (appliance)and source deduplication (software) Target deduplication appliances are de-signed to replace the tapeof standard disk drives inyour existing backup sys-tem so your backup soft-ware sends backup data to the appliance thatdedupes the backups andstores only the newunique blocks Using adedupe appliance has anadded benefit as switchingfrom tape to disk as yourinitial backup target will likely increase the reliability of remote site backups

To use target deduplication yoursquoll have to install an appliance at each remotesite and direct backups to the appliance After the appliance dedupes the remotesitersquos backup it can be replicated back to a central site Because it requires anappliance of some sort target deduplication isnrsquot appropriate for mobile data

Source deduplication is backup software that dedupes the data at the verybeginning of the backup process The server or mobile device being backed upcommunicates with the source deduplication server and ldquodescribesrdquo the seg-ments of data it has found that need to be backed up If the source dedupli-cation server sees that a segment has already been backed up the segmentisnrsquot transferred across the network This saves disk space on the server andreduces the amount of bandwidth the backup process uses

Source deduplication can be used to back up both remote sites and mobileusers All you need to do is install source deduplication software on the com-puter to be backed up and initiate the backup (This is a bit of an oversimplifica-tion of course and ignores the challenge of completing the initial full backup)

CONTINUOUS BACKUP OF REMOTE DATAAnother technology that should be considered for remote site and mobile userbackup is continuous data protection (CDP) Think of CDP as replication with aldquobackrdquo button Like replication itrsquos a continuous process that runs throughoutthe day incrementally transferring new blocks to a remote backup server Butunlike standard replication products CDP systems also store a log of changesso that a protected system can be restored to any point in time within its re-tention period in a few seconds or less While a traditional backup system (in-cluding one using deduplication) can restore a client to the last time a backupran a CDP system can restore a client to only seconds ago since the backupis continuously occurring A CDP product can be used to back up both remotesites and mobile users because itrsquos also a block-level incremental-forevertechnology

INTEGRATED DATA PROTECTIONRemote sites may have another option using whatrsquos sometimes referred toas self-healing storage This broad term refers to storage that has backup andrecovery integrated as core features Typically itrsquos used to describe storagearrays that use redirect-on-write snapshot technology to provide historicalversions of blocks and files within the volume being protected The snapshotsare then replicated to another volume (typically located in an alternate location)providing both history and relocation of data without using traditional backupmethodologies To use one of these products to back up a remote site wouldof course require installing a storage array at each remote site that wouldreplicate to another larger array in a central site

WHAT ABOUT THE CLOUDA cloud backup service is simply another method of delivering one of theabove options Some cloud backup services use source dedupe while othersuse CDP And some services provide an on-site target appliance that thenreplicates to the cloud or acts as a target for the replicated backups fromyour deduplication appliance Some self-healing storage arrays know how to replicate to the cloud as well

The bare-metal recovery issue is one that can only be addressed with abackup software product or service that has the feature built into the productGive careful consideration to the importance of this feature for your environ-ment And like everything else in IT donrsquot just believe what the vendors saytest the product or service to see if it does exactly what you need it to do

You should also ask how a vendorrsquos products handle backing up systemsthat arenrsquot always turned on or connected to the WAN While most products

sPENDING ON CLOUD infrastructure and services is expected to increase thisyear according to ESGrsquos recent 2011 spending intentions survey In late 2009when we asked survey respondents about their organizationrsquos IT priorities for 2010 and the first half of 2011 cloud computing and software-as-a-service(SaaS) ranked 22 and 24 respectively out of the 24 priorities listed In late2010 when asked about IT priorities in 2011 and the first half of 2012 respon-dents ranked cloud computing in the top half of the priority list (number 12)and placed SaaS in spot 14

That bodes well for cloud infrastruc-ture and service providers and indicatesthat the cloud investigations users conducted in 2010 could translate toreal investments in 2011

BACKGROUNDTo assess IT spending priorities overthe next 12 to 18 months ESG recentlysurveyed 611 North American andWestern European senior IT professionalsrepresenting midmarket (100 to 999employees) and enterprise-class (1000employees or more) organizations Aspart of the survey we asked questionspertaining to both SaaS and infrastruc-ture-as-a-service (IaaS) The survey defined those two cloud-related termsas follows

SaaS A software distribution model in which applications are hosted by avendor or service provider and made available to customers over a networktypically the Internet

IaaS A computing model in which the equipment including servers storageand networking components used to support an organizationrsquos operations is

hosted by a service provider and made available to customers over a networktypically the Internet The service provider owns the equipment and is respon-sible for housing running and maintaining it with the client typically payingon a per-use basis

ADOPTION TRENDSWhile 34 of respondents currentlyuse SaaS a surprising 91 reporttheyrsquoll spend at least some of their2011 budget dollars on SaaS-based applications But even at those organi-zations using SaaS today usage ispretty light a large majority (70) use SaaS to deliver fewer than 20 of their applications and only 15 of respondent firms deliver 31 ormore of their applications via SaaS

That picture changes significantlywhen we asked users to consider how theyrsquoll deliver applications three yearsfrom now the percentage of those survey takers using SaaS for 20 or fewerof their applications shrinks to 39 while the percentage of those respondentsdelivering 31 or more of their applications via SaaS rises to 30

The apps respondents deliver via SaaS run the gamut of enterprise appsfrom accounting and financial applications to security but the ones mostlikely to be delivered via SaaS are customer relationship management (CRM)and email which isnrsquot surprising given the amount of data they generate

Among ESG survey takers IaaS usage is lower than that of SaaS with 17currently using IaaS to meet infrastructure requirements But things are look-ing up on the IaaS side as well with 81 of respondents reporting theyrsquoll spendat least some of their 2011 budget on the technology

THE BIGGER TRUTHFew technologies have been able to maintain the level of hype that cloud hasfor IT users and vendors alike Typically new technologies just canrsquot live upto the expectations and promises vendors set Cloud is bucking the trendfor multiple reasons not the least of which is that no one can seem to agreeon exactly what it is ESG believes cloud is ultimately a service delivery modelwhere applications (andor infrastructure) are delivered as a service to aconsumer The jury is still out in end-user and vendor circles as to whetheror not ldquoprivate cloudrdquo counts as a cloud initiative or is just IT with a services-oriented architecture

While 34 ofrespondents currently use SaaSa surprising 91report theyrsquoll spendat least some oftheir 2011 budgetdollars on SaaS-based applications

The spending survey indicates that reducing costs especially operationalcosts is still one of the top drivers of IT decision making in 2011 and thecloud certainly seems to be gaining popularity as a means to help containoverall IT costs Because the value propositions for IaaS and SaaS are relatedto cost reduction ESG specifically asked users about cost-cutting measuresand saw cloud computing start to emerge as a viable option Organizationsin cost-reductioncontainment mode indicate a significant increase in theirwillingness to consider cloud computing services (23 in 2011 vs 17 in2010 and 13 in 2009) as a way to control IT costs this year

Will cloud strategies continue their momentum in 2011 ESG research in-dicates they willmdashat least from the end-user side Because 2010 was mostlyabout cloud talk and hype and end users now indicate a willingness to investin this area in 2011 it looks like vendors will have to ldquoput up or shut uprdquo anddeliver on the cloud promises theyrsquove been making to deliver truly cost-effectivesecure and available IT services 2

aS WE APPROACH the end of the first quarter of the new year it looks like wersquoregoing to see a much different data storage industry in 2011 Thatrsquos a goodthing because 2010 was a minefield for strategic planningmdasha roller coaster ofexcitement with the unpredictable future that goes with it Game-changingtechnologies made their real first forays into the market including cloudstorage service providers cloud on-ramps cloud backup cloud disaster recovery (DR) and others In a recentemerging market forecast TanejaGroup identified storage products associated with the cloud as growinginto a $10 billion market by 2014 As wesee it wersquore out of the gate with newproduct innovations and now engagedin a steady march

In 2010 there was turmoil amongthe vendor ranks like wersquove never seenwith major vendor strategy shifts anumber of small vendor failures andmind-boggling acquisitions WhewSurely all that vendor turmoil must betapering off We need a breather andwe need to look at whatrsquos coming

Therersquos definitely one thing thatneeds more attention performanceFor too long wersquove been fixated on capacity and that preoccupation hassapped some of the innovation energy that should have been directed towardsolving performance problems And because of that neglect many of us arefinding we need better performance than we can get from todayrsquos standardapproaches It seems most of the activity in 2008 and 2009 was centered oncapacity and in 2010 that capacity discussion shifted to the cloud Lately itseems performance only comes up when the subject is solid-state storage

Letrsquos focus on storage performance in 2011

For the last few years our focus has been on storagecapacity and dealing with astronomical data growth

rates In the process wersquove overlooked storageperformance but promising developments are afoot

In 2010 there wasturmoil among thevendor ranks likewersquove never seenwith major vendorstrategy shifts anumber of smallvendor failures andmind-bogglingacquisitions

an alternative ill-suited to many of the storage systems most of us have in our data centers That might be the future but performance needs to beaddressed now

But Irsquom beginning to see performance solutions that have some real promiseDiscussions around solid-state technology have made us acutely aware ofthe massive limitations of many traditional storage systems And that seemsto have inspired some innovators to do something entirely different

Despite what some vendors are peddling it wonrsquot be the next generation of ridiculously complex application-specific stacks of hardware that willspeed up your database or your number crunching And donrsquot expect biggerand cheaper appliances to deliver on that promise either Those and similarsolutions have been anathema for strategic planning How are you supposedto build a performance strategy from aproliferation of one-trick ponies thatcanrsquot adapt to changing demands or themassive shared access required withintodayrsquos consolidating data centers

My requirements for doing betterarenrsquot that stringent Fundamentally asolution should give you real perform-ance and promise to scale well beyondwhat you need today Simultaneouslyit shouldnrsquot look entirely different thanyour existing storage It should stillstore data in a permanent reliable way and be just as serviceable Wersquoreseeing vendors like Alacritech Avere Kaminario and others think hard abouthow to deliver performance that fits into todayrsquos storage infrastructure with-out a massive integration effort and with the right capabilities to deliver future scalable performance without compromises in storage capabilities

One result of these emerging improved architectures for storage per-formance is a dramatic change in what we pay for IOmdashwhen assessed onthe basis of dollars per IO such systems have massively better costs thanrotational disk But those figures only tell part of the story Bad architecturescome at a price way beyond the difference in upfront costs The upfront costsof any performance solution with a bad architecture may well be compoundedby the operational costs incurred in the course of coping with and offsettingthe bad architecture such as

bull The cost of integration Integrating solutions that address a subset ofdata can require enormous effort

bull The cost of data protection Few solutions are built for primary long-term storage so the cost of data protection can increase significantlyWorse yet are the considerations for DR

ldquoSo I want some kind of product that can combine SSD and magnetic spindles into a single sort of ldquosuper volumerdquo which I can use for everything that happens on the VM host and then the storage virtualization software can automatically figure out which blocks (or whatever) should be magnetic and which should be SSDrdquo

bull The cost of replacement Solutions built without long service life as akey design criterion may reach a premature end of life The cost here isnrsquotjust about replacement but dealing with the effects of potential failureoften with strategies such as maintaining idle spare equipment

bull Cost of service Some products arenrsquot built for in-place service sothey may require specialized expertise for service or disruptive total replace-ments if a failure occurs

bull Cost of scale A product thatrsquos attractively priced for a single app mayeasily be a mismatch for other demands This can result in apps requiringmultiple storage systems capacity underutilization or compromising on performance

bull Cost of management Inadequate scaling can lead to sprawl and result in having to deploy multiple devices to satisfy different applicationneeds The cost of managing isolated systems can become enormous

And the bigger things get the more costs add up Irsquom not suggesting yourprimary storage vendor doesnrsquot have answers that address these issues assome are thinking pretty innovatively about how to extend controller capa-bilities But you need to make sure you have the right primary data storagevendor if yoursquore buying into their answer for performance For some theircurrent investments or intended new investments may never go far enoughThere may well be a significant deficiency in both the resulting value yoursquoregetting per dollar and in the competitive business capabilities of your result-ing IT systems

It may be a year of only incremental improvement but when it comes toperformance even small improvements can transform how we do storageWith a few innovators on the horizon it looks like 2011 could see even greaterstrides 2

Still a struggle to achieve storage efficiencyEverybodyrsquos talking about storage efficiency but how are we really doing Judg-ing from our latest survey there seems to be a sense of accomplishment tem-pered by a bit of frustration While most respondents feel their companies usestorage pretty efficiently therersquos still plenty of disk capacity being wasted becauseadmins just donrsquot have the right tools to stay on top of the situation More thantwo-thirds (68) say theyrsquod do a better job if they had better tools and nearly halfare looking for a little more cooperation from users (45) and management (44)Most storage pros (66) rely on the tools that came with their storage systemsto manage capacity use while 30 have third-party apps to help them out Amongthe newer storage efficiency technologies storage tiering (49) and archiving(48) are most commonly used to keep the lid on capacity And while everybodycomplains about storing old useless files only 31 have a process or program inplace for data deletion mdashRich Castagna

ldquoAlthough therersquos no shortage of vendor-supplied tools and third-party software to assist todayrsquos storage managers it remains nearly impossible to alter storage consumersrsquo behaviorrdquo mdashSurvey respondent
