§ While revenue is slowing, demand for DAS storage is rising
§ Particularly in internal storage, where scale-‐out paradigms (for use cases such as Big Data) will accelerate growth

§ The opportunity continues to be in entry-‐level storage (PB1-‐3) § A combination of low cost and high performance (per compute node) will result in optimal price:performance

§ Most likely to be SAS and SATA
Essential Guidance § Expect that SAS infrastructure will be a key enabler for major hardware architectural shifts in servers and storage
§ Since SAS architecture is pervasive, it makes possible economies of scale with infrastructure components in servers and storage, thus lower total costs
§ Plan for relatively slow HDD areal density growth through 2016, thus the need for a growing number of SAS interface slots to deliver the storage capacity needed
