Agenda

• Server Virtualization and Impact on Storage• Netapp Storage Efficiencies with Server Virtualization• Backup and Restore• Disaster Recovery• Storage Design with Desktop Virtualization• Summary

Server Virtualization Reduces Cost

3

Increases infrastructure efficiency:

Reduce & consolidate physical servers 10:1 or more

Share physical resources such as CPU, memory, network, etc…

Reduce data center footprint Lower data center power consumption Realize ROI in 12 months

The Traditional Solution: Purchase or increase shared storage

footprint

Shared Storage with Server Virtualization

4

Required for non-stop operations: VMotion Storage VMotion High Availability Clusters Fault Tolerance

The Traditional Solution: Purchase or increase shared storage

footprint

Availability Becomes Critical

5

Consider the architecture: A storage raid failure simultaneously

impacts many virtual servers

5

Deploy more fault resilient RAID protection

The Traditional Solution: Purchase or increase shared storage

footprint

Backup Becomes Difficult

6

Consider the architecture: Restore times increase correlate to

consolidation ratio Backup times increase as a by

product of the shared infrastructure

6

Deploy more fault resilient RAID protection

6

Deploy disk to disk backup technologies

The Traditional Solution: Purchase or increase shared storage

footprint

Backup Becomes Difficult

7

Consider the architecture: Site Recovery Manager has made

Disaster Recovery is easy

7

Deploy more fault resilient RAID protection

7

Deploy disk to disk backup technologies

Deploy new storage arrays

Storage Costs Consume the Savings

8

Shared storage: Used to be only for critical or

demanding applications Is now required for every virtualized

application

88

Availability & Performance: Used to be only for critical or

demanding applications Is now required to serve consolidated

pools of low to moderate demanding applications

The Solution - Virtualize Your Storage

NetApp storage efficiency: Reduces storage requirements

– Production– Backup– DR

Integrated VMware Backups– Automated, policy driven– Block level disk based backup– Run DR on backup storage

Heterogeneous Storage Virtualization

10

A Great Match

NetApp Virtualization:Server Virtualization: Improves:

– Cost of ownership– Server manageability– VM Provisioning speed– Server Utilization

NetApp does for storage what Server Virtualization does for infrastructure

Improves:– Storage management TCO– Storage manageability– Storage provisioning speed– Storage utilization

Use 50% Less Storage - Guaranteed

Use NetApp for your virtual infrastructure, and we guarantee* you will use 50% less storage

If you don’t use 50% less storage, get the required capacity at no additional charge

*For terms and conditions, go to netapp.com/guarantee

“During the research phase of your next storage purchasing cycle, ask each vendor if it offers a capacity savings or utilization guarantee.”

Netapp V-Series for Storage Virtualization

• Enables Netapp to run on existing disk infrastructure

• Unified, Multi-Protocol front-end– NFS, CIFS– iSCSI, FCP

• Heterogeneous SAN or Direct-attach back-end (NetApp disks)

• Arrays become JBOD, while front end has power of Data ONTAP

• Provide Deduplication, Thin Provisioning, Snapshots etc to traditional storage arrays

Key Differentiators There are 5 key areas where NetApp is different from every other storage vendor in the industry:

•Data Protection– RAID-DP, SMVI, SnapMirror, Snapshots

•Single, multi-protocol OS (Reduce Complexity)– Single skillset and set of processes to manage storage– Architectural Flexibility, serve data centers which support multiple

protocols•Innovations which reduce storage (Store Less)

– Flexclone, SnapShot (non-dupe) and De-dupe •Allow application admins to manage storage (Faster IT)

– Push protection decisions to the application layer•Unmatched heterogeneity (Leverage What You Own)

– All the value above provided for other vendor’s storage too!
