Introduction

Storage trends

TCO grows > IT Budget is under pressure!

Storage cost is or is becoming a significant part of IT TCO or even Business Services.

Company's not doing something

we all do at home.

Storage growth is outgrowing the decline in price. 40-60% growth per year.

Greater impact, higher on the agenda!

Many Storage Vendors Failed with ILM vs just selling the next rack of disks.

It is complex… and expensive

How StorSimple works

Servers connect to StorSimple

instead of SAN

Flow of data with automated tiering

Application or File servers

SAS

Automatically moving data to the next tier

occurs when tiers are about 84% full

The least recently accessed data in

the tier is the first to move to the next

tier

Demo

Use cases that are a great fit

File shares File servers, NAS, CIFS, NFS

Large archives Media, engineering, EMR/PACS, logs,

Take-aways

www.storsimple.nl Wij zijn 3fifty, voor vragen en advies neem contact op www. 3fifty.eu

StorSimple take-aways • Reclaim 80% of SAN (unstructured data set) • Automatic detection of working-set vs cold data (file

shares/archives) • Benefits of Cloud storage combined with on-premise storage • Lower pricing vs traditional storage • Lower CapEx and OpEx • Scalability is endless and unlimited retention of data in cloud • Off-Site backup integrated (no more tapes and handling) • Incredibly fast recovery of data • Secure: data in cloud is encrypted • Simple migration scenario • Pay as you grow • StorSimple: storage made simple!

Rethink • What is our high performance data

footprint? • How big is our unstructured data set? • Which of our data is a candidate

(working set vs archief/cold/jic data) for StorSimple?

• How do we keep coping with growth? • Is current storage strategy still the

best? • What are current costs? What is the

budget for the future?
