VMware StorageHistoric Problems Still Exist

• I/O Blender

• Hard To Manage

• Hard To Troubleshoot

VMware StorageNew Realities Making It Worse

• Increased VM Density

• Virtualization of Mission/Business Critical Workloads

• Budgets Are Flat

Increased VM Density - A Bigger Blender

• Density improves ROI but...increases potential

performance problems

• Flash is the key but...How much?How to leverage?

Virtualizing Of Critical Workloads

• Need to handle more Storage I/O workloads

• Need Predictable Performance

• Need better Insight for Troubleshooting

Flat Budgets - Do More With Less

• Higher VM DensityAddress with Flash but raises costs

• Greater Data EfficiencyDeduplication and Compression

• More Multi-PurposeNAS and SANiSCSI and FCHigh Performance and High Capacity
