Transforming storage infrastructure to cope with massive increases in
data volumes and the drive to reduce costs is a major transformational
exercise across the enterprise requiring careful management of internal
and external stakeholders. Storage solutions will require newer storage
technology drawn from multiple vendors with the associated systems
integration to build a comprehensive scalable service that is sensitive to
organization's business process workflows. A collaborative effort is
required to deliver the end-to-end solution in a transparent reliable and
consistent manner.
While there are multiple technology and solution providers in the
market, Wipro believes the future of storage solutions requires an
end-to-end integrated service which is delivered through an intelligent
Storage
Wipro Storage Reference Architectureorchestration layer above technology components. Systems integration
must be driven from the contexts of technology and domain knowledge
to be successful. Based on our strengths and experience, Wipro is
positioned to be the service provider and systems integrator of choice
for this solution.
Wipro's approach to the storage challenge reflects the broader context
of data management spanning across business process layers,
information management layers, storage infrastructure management
layers and physical infrastructure layers. Wipro proposes a solution that
optimizes cost and harnesses efficiencies across these layers through a
common services layer. This solution is based on Wipro's Storage
Reference Architecture as depicted below:

While many storage solutions available today address many aspects of
the storage infrastructure management layer and the physical
infrastructure layer, we believe there is no single solution which
addresses all four layers or addresses the challenge from a business
process/workflow-centric approach.
Integration of ‘the business’ and IT, with the facility for significant end
user contributions to storage management initiatives.
Business case driven optimization with minimal disruption to end users.
Diverse technologies and protocols from multiple vendors are integrated though the orchestration and integration framework.
Storage is optimized via storage tiering, archiving and policy enforcement.
Vendor neutrality ensures an ever-green, fit for purpose, scalable storage solution, leveraging best of breed tools and technology.
Flexible adoption of solutions across the existing IT landscape, compliant with customer specific standards and frameworks.
It is comprehensive and ensures coverage of all the storage aspects beyond the technology.
Wipro’s Unified Global Service Delivery Model transparently delivers services in a scalable, consistent, reliable and cost effective manner across multiple geographies.
Technology gaps are addressed through innovative custom engineered solutions delivering efficient and effective storage management.
We see many opportunities to improve storage efficiencies by
integrating standard and custom built solutions and technical
innovations with a goal to optimize storage within the infrastructure
management layer. The services wrapper of Wipro's solution is a
comprehensive and innovative enabler for the implementation of large
storage transformation initiatives. For example, enabling the deployment
of Cloud for storage requires the integration of business process
engineering, High Performance Computing (HPC), Cloud and Storage
Infrastructure engineering delivered as a bundled solution leveraging
Wipro's SI capabilities.

SOLUTIONSfor Business Continuity Planning (BCP)and Disaster Recovery (DR)Disaster Recovery (DR) and Business Continuity Planning (BCP) are key processes that enable organizations to remain in business, delivering services to customers, when affected by both natural and manmade disasters. A mature DR strategy will contain actions that mitigate liability and negative impacts to brand, financial performance, HSE compliance to external & internal stakeholders and customers.
Wipro consultants will work with the business to study an organization's business processes, identifying critical systems and dependencies. This will be input to the business continuity plan, leading to a cost effective DR strategy.
Wipro follows the Disaster Recovery Institute International (DRII) recommended methodology for all its BCP and DRP projects, as outlined below:

Whether a cloud is public or private, an appropriate server, network and
storage infrastructure, across which all resources are efficiently utilized
and shared, is a key criterion for success. If all data resides on the same
storage systems, storage becomes even more crucial in a shared
infrastructure model.
Business needs that may drive the adoption of cloud technology
typically include:
Pay as you grow
Availability – 'always on' storage
Rapid provisioning of IT infrastructure
Turn CAPEX into OPEX, flexibility in the budget
Self-service
Performance improvements - Integrated Storage Efficiency
Data mobility
Instant delivery and scalable capacity
Service and process automation and management
Data security and privacy through multi-tenancy
Everything on single network storage to save cost

LAN-Free to Reduce Backup Window
Snapshot based backup for daily incremental, and full backup for
weekly and monthly jobs, thereby reducing space
LAN based for non-critical applications
LAN-Free for critical applications – using NetApp based snapshot,
EMC's Networker and Symantec's Netbackup
Disk-based backup for faster backups and retrievals
Data de-duplication allows users to store more data on fewer disks
for longer periods, thus reducing overall storage costs. Virtual Tape
Library with data de-duplication for disk-based backup
Reducing multiple data copies
Wipro has deep expertise with the design and deployment of backup
policies and skills implementing and supporting technologies like
Veritas Backup Suite, Legato Networker, CA, Commvault and NetApp
based snapshot.
Intelligent archival can reduce the TCO for a storage environment
through optimization of the storage systems. Other benefits include
operational efficiency and cost saving, enablement of faster backups,
improved disaster recovery, ease of administration and compliance,
enforcement of retention policies for data and automatic expiry of
old content.
For example, users can retrieve and read old mails and chat transcripts
directly from the archive from a single outlook interface. Web based
search is made available and end users can restore their mails without
the need of PST maintenance.
SOLUTIONS
Data De-duplication
De-duplication assesses data files and retains those parts that are
different while condensing (and removing) multiple versions/copies of
data that is the same. There are three primary tasks performed by a
de-duplication system; redundancy identification, finger printing and
redundancy elimination.

Lower disk costs, optimization of backups,
reduced administrative costs
Users are able to store more data on fewer disks for
longer periods, thereby reducing overall storage costs
Improved RTO and reliability leading to optimized recovery
Enables new and expands existing remote replication/backup
options and lowers band-width requirements
Space, power and cooling savings
De-duplication hash calculations are created in real time on a target
device as the data enters the device
A process that analyses existing data on a device, looks for duplication
and removes it.
Source: Comparison of data objects at source before sending to
backup device
Destination: Comparison of data objects on arrival at destination

the Datacenter complexities with FLUIDSTATE FrameworkAs storage is optimized and rationalized, there is a need for a new breed
of data centre, with a small foot-print (one or few racks) and large
capacity. Wipro has developed FluidState™ (Flexible Lean Upgradable
Intelligent Datacenter Standardized for AcceleraTed Establishment)
using a Model Driven Engineering approach to build and deploy such
centers. FluidState™ follows the SYSML model, with predefined
interconnects, build procedure, intelligence logic and a preconfigured
rules engine defining the datacenter.

Block-based virtual tiered storage pool, with Information Life Cycle
Management and archival
Configured to provide higher power envelope with fine grained
power management at both rack and system level
High capacity racks with complete instrumentation and
remote management
Intelligent cabling with full remote management
Unified single fabric providing IP, SAN, cluster interconnect and
management interface
Intelligent load balancer with compression, caching and site-level
load balancing
Service delivery network secured and isolated with VPN, QOS
and acceleration
Management and provisioning systems to configure resources based
on need
The framework clearly defines boundary conditions necessary to handle
modular growth, at a finer granularity than that required for a
conventional datacenter build. FluidState™ is available pre-packaged as
Small, Medium and Large instances which can be adopted 'out of the box'.
Designed for various capacity needs, each package comes with a
minimum set of compute, storage and network components and can
provide seamless modular expandability to accommodate the future
needs of business growth.
This commercial off the shelf approach makes the installation and
deployment of a datacenter analogous to procuring a home PC, where
the base model is chosen and selected upgrades can be applied at
purchase or down the line as requirements change. FluidState™ is an
'evergreen' solution, based on industry-leading 'industrial-grade'
hardware, benchmarked for performance, yet flexible enough to cope
with an organization's specific computational needs.
