The IT challenge…

© 2006 MicroAge

The storage challenge: Rapid, continuous growthResearch shows that file growth is exceeding that of database and email

– Productivity: Word, Excel, PDFs, PowerPoint

– Media & animation: security, digital film production, video, audio

– Imaging: photographs, cheque images, scanned images, x-rays, geo/satellite images, etc.

– Manufacturing: CAD/CAM, source code, EDA

Your mission

• Reduce infrastructure requirements (and costs) instead of adding to them

• Reduce or eliminate the need for more IT resource time

© 2006 MicroAge

Top five storage roadblocks

Runaway costs

– Need to meet rising data volume needs without increasing management overhead

Complicated installation and deployment

– Can be time-consuming, labour-intensive, with too much downtime

Manageability

– Too many servers, too much data, too many other priorities

Sluggish network

– Data volume overload reduces system responsiveness

Business risk

– Need to simplify safeguarding or archived business-critical information

Your storage wish list

• Make it easy to install

• Make it easy to manage

• Make it easy to expand

Customer Impact of the MSA2000 family

Customer Problem

Business/IT

What they do todayHow the MSA2000 solves the problem & adds business value

Why now with HP?

Differentiators…

Storage needs growing exponentially

• A: Buy more servers to have more DAS

• B: Poor return on investment with stranded capacity and high management costs of DAS

• C: Expensive outsourcing sometimes sought as an answer

• D: Contrary to good business practices, risky deletion of older files to make space

• A: Provides a choice of high-performance reasonably priced shared storage/SAN solutions

• B: Gives the choice of Fibre Channel, iSCSI, or SAS for attaching to hosts

• C: Allows the user to start with a very small configuration and grow modularly as they need. The new MSA2000 G2 supports even more total storage than before

• D: Built on a long term relationship with products from a single source that the customer can count on being available for extended periods

• A: One source – servers and storage together, one support organization

• B: Thousands of trained and certified resellers

• C: Economies of scale allow for an extremely competitive low cost

• D: More experience in the entry-level SAN segment translates to HP being able to provide the most suitable products for these needs

The MSA2000 family is the ideal family of arrays for entry-level storage due to its unsurpassed flexibility of host connect choices, appropriate drive types, scalability, and ease of use – all at highly affordable total costs

Get more for your money

– It’s versatile unified storage, so it can be a file server (or disk-based backup/replication target), print server, an iSCSI target, or all of the above

– There’s no better way to serve files in Windows (SMB/CIFS) environments– With the included iSCSI Target, you can host application/virtual environment storage– Tools like snapshots, quotas, replication are included standard

Do more with fewer resources

– Go from out-of-the-box to sharing storage in minutes, not hours– HP X1000 Automated Storage Manager Software (HP ASM) is like getting a storage expert in the box– Consolidate to one Windows shared (file/block )storage platform to manage, expand, and protect– Make more efficient use of storage space using SIS file de-duplication

Protect and optimize your investment

– HP ProLiant server hardware supports iLO2 remote management, HP SIM, and HP PSP – Industry-standard building blocks: Intel processors, SATA/SAS drives, and SAS interconnects– It’s Windows, so it integrates seamlessly into your existing Windows environment, runs antivirus/backup on

the box, and has a familiar management look and feel– Optional data services software integrates with HP ASM to extend solution value: HP Data Protector

HP X1000 Automated Storage Manager (HP ASM)

Unbelievably simple management: ‘Application-centric’ management hides storage complexity and allows IT managers to manage storage at the application level while embedded logic makes anybody look like a storage expert

Radically simple: View storage usage in application terms: Exchange, SQL, File Shares, User-defined data...

Worry free storage: Set warning thresholds and receive e-mail alerts when applications are running out of capacity.

Disruption free growth: Easily allocate more space to specific applications without impacting end-users

Data protection with no backup window: Setup application aware snapshot and backup/replication policies by data type and easily recover with the click of a mouse.

© 2006 MicroAge

Without HP ASM: Moving Exchange to shared storage

1. Locate, read & understand Exchange storage best practices

2. Use Array Control Utility to build Logical Disks. (NAS)

3. Use Disk Manager to initialize Disks and create Volumes (NAS)

4. Use iSCSI Target UI to build iSCSI Pools/LUNs (NAS)

5. Use iSCSI Initiator to connect iSCSI LUNs (Exchange Server)

6. Use Disk Manager to build NTFS Volumes on iSCSI LUNs (Exchange Manager)

– Create highly-available unified solutions combining X3000 Gateway nodes with an MSA or other entry array

Do more with fewer resources

– The O/S is pre-installed, so go from out-of-the-box to sharing storage quickly

– Tier block access with iSCSI Target to connect server islands still not on your SAN

– Consolidate file and multi-protocol block storage to one array/SAN to expand and protect

– Make more efficient use of storage space using SIS file de-duplication

Protect and optimize your investment

– HP ProLiant server hardware supports iLO2 remote management, HP SIM, and HP PSP

– Industry-standard building blocks: Intel processors, SAS drives, and support for multi-vendor HBAs

– It’s Windows, so it integrates seamlessly into your existing Windows environment, runs antivirus/backup on the box, and has a familiar management look and feel

– With the included Microsoft Cluster Server (MSCS) license, you can cluster X3000 Gateways to enable high availability and reduce down time

Why use an HP X1000/X3000 Network Storage Systemfor dedicated File Sharing?• Achieve 15-20% faster file serving than general purpose Windows

Server− Microsoft datasheet: ”Due to file server optimization, Windows Storage Server is 15-20%

faster than a general purpose Windows Server in file serving…Windows Storage Server is designed (and optimized) as a dedicated file and print serving appliance.”

• Increases disk utilization by >35% with file based de-duplication− SIS Deduplication: “store only one instance on the disk although several copies of the same

file might exist… shown to save more than 35% disk space and reduce storage management costs”

• Find data quickly from the user’s desk top. What tools are available?

− ”…quickly and efficiently locate what they store… Users search the content of their files from the convenience of their desktops “

• Provide shared storage (i.e., flexible storage capacity) for application servers

− Email, business application data (e.g. ERP, CRM) via Microsoft iSCSI Software Target–cannot be installed on general purpose Windows servers

• Standalone models feature HP X1000 Automated Storage Manager (HP ASM) interface on X1000 models

− ‘Application-centric’ management hides storage complexity and allows IT managers to manage storage at the application level while embedded logic makes anybody look like a storage expert

X1000 and X3000 Network Storage Systems not only consolidate file shares, but can also store iSCSI data, consolidate printer management, and host data management applications
