Integrated Design

Partnered Ecosystem

Common architecture and features integrated for

predictable costs & reduction in management tools and

consoles

Meta data tagging to enable policy based automation that moves, protects, and reduces data throughout storage tiers

Built upon open standards this enables tight integration

with industry-leading technology partners (e.g.

Symantec)

• Over half of all data stored on expensive tier 1 storage

• 20% of files not accessed for 90 days or more

• One tenth of data is duplicated

• Backup with more than 10% backup failure

• Underutilized storage attached to underutilized servers

Typical issues we

find

• Overspending on more expensive tier 1 disks

• Wastage in keeping unused data in production storage

• Inefficient usage of storage resources (online, backup, management & power)

• Direct risk to data availability

• Uncontrolled storage growth and cost escalation

Which results in

• Storage Tiering – Lower tier storage cost 25~50% less

• Reduce redundant data backup, improve efficiency of backup infrastructure

• Tiered and Virtual Storage Provisioning improves storage utilization

Storage Assessment – Typical Results


It’s an evolution that starts today with some key technologies

Unified Storage

• Data tiering and optimization in one array. Integrated in a platform that simplifies data management, offers integrated tiering and de-duplication across multiple types of data

Deduplication

Key feature to data optimization Eliminates common data at file, block and sub-block levels reducing the total capacity required to store and protect data.

Infrastructure will migrate to Ethernet irrespective of iSCSI or FC

Convergence and virtualization are driving enhancements to Ethernet

Industry Ethernet skill sets are broader and more mature

Unified storage architecture

• Avoid overhead from using different systems for different applications • Greater utilization from consolidation of block and file storage pools • Prevent duplicate data from consuming valuable storage capacity

Optimize storage with deduplication

Very important

One of the top 10 technology considerations: deduplication

• Shorten backup windows by hours and restore in minutes with B2D

• Save money by reducing storage capacity, power, cooling and space requirements

• Centralize data protection and archive, reducing on staffed

• Enable cost-effective DR


Source vs. hybrid vs. target

TARGET Deduplication

Up to 50 times reduction in back-up storage

Moves ~200 percent of primary data weekly

Back-ups are typically restored from full and incremental images

Data viewed as file systems and/or virtual tape library target for traditional back-up environments

Deduplication Device

Backup Server

SOURCE-BASED Deduplication

Up to 50 times reduction in back-up storage

Moves ~2 percent of primary data weekly

Up to 500 times reduction in network impact

Up to 10 times faster daily full back-ups

All back-ups are full; immediate, single-step recovery
