Overview

What is a ‘Cloud’ and how does storage figure in it?–What’s all the fuss about…

How Cloudy is the market?–Who wants what, and why…

Clouding the issues?–Cloud enabled storage characteristics…

What is a ‘Cloud’

Cloud is a model for IT consumption with the following characteristics:-– Self service provisioning of resources

Templates, catalogued services, standardised operating models etc

– Chargeback or utility billing

Pay only for what you use for as long as you use it

– Elasticity

Scalability both up and down on demand

– Automated Service Management

Workflows

Service Level Agreements (SLAs)

Defined Quality of Service (QoS)

Implementation– Private – single tenanted, shared/pooled infrastructure, management/hosting/ownership options

– Public – multi tenanted, shared/pooled or dedicated infrastructures, supplier owned & run

Benefits of moving to a cloud model– Users experience – rapid provisioning, ease of access to best in class functions, choice, reduced

costs, better security and reliability

– Enterprises experience – reduced operating costs, improved capex efficiency, rapid flexible service enhancements

In general any ‘IT as a Service’ (ITaaS) Cloud requires storage Storage efficiency is essential to maintain growth whilst containing costs Along with server, software and infrastructure – storage will be provisioned as part of the

Cloud service catalogue/templates Storage is subject to the common issues/functions of the cloud:

– Self service/Orchestration driven

– Operational Management

– Service Monitoring

– SLAs and QoS guarantees

– Security and access controls

– Resource metering

– Service termination and resource reuse

Storage integrated into the Cloud Portal, Orchestration and Workflow frameworks

Also ‘STorage as a Service’ (STaaS) in it’s own right

A

Storage is under a Cloud too!

Clouding; The Issues

Self Service requires:– Storage VIRTUALISATION

– Thin Provisioning

– Free space reclamation

Chargeback and utility billing requires:– Comprehensive metering software

– Integrated accounting and charging capability

Elasticity requires:– Highly scalable hardware, both horizontal and

vertical

– Space efficient storage using compression, de-dupe, integrated tape etc

– Dynamic commercial models allowing flex up and down

Automated Service Management requires:– Self-managing ‘autonomic’ storage

– Comprehensive monitoring and alerting

– Automated performance optimisation

– Reliable backup, replication and DR capabilities
