Standards: the Lifeblood of Open Systems
Without industry standards, the world of open systems would not exist
– Networking standards (IETF)
– Applications standards (IETF, Open Group)
– OS standards (Linux, Windows APIs)
– Servers (IEEE, ISO, card, chassis and component interface standards)
– Storage (STA, FCIA, SNIA, IETF, etc)

Test and certification procedures and compliance programs
Test and promote interoperability between enterprise grid software and hardware
Build demonstrations
Document best practices
Grow the grid computing market

Phase 1: Core Capability
Core Commercial Enterprise applications only– Applicable to every Enterprise– Validate that basic support is possible now– Encourage or develop needed specifications ensuring
openness
Capability within a single Enterprise only– Not between Enterprises– Focus on a data center, but include interaction with
other data centers first for availability and then for load balancing and cooperative processing
– Interoperation between vendors, within a data center

Phase 2: Include and Extend
Include support for Technical Grid applications– Enables Technical Grid processing when Commercial
applications don’t need the resources– Off hours capacity encourages development of more
Technical Grid applications– Boundary between application types begins to blur
Extend multiple data center support to other organizations– Message passing applications such as supply chain,
trading applications– Web service calls between applications– Grids between Enterprises begin to interoperate

Phase 3: Unify and Complete
Unify Grid computing within and between Enterprises– True cooperative processing, not just message passing – Dynamic capacity addition: Virtually extend the data
center– Final capacity on demand capability delivered
Complete support for all Enterprise applications– In all configurations, inside the data center and
outsourced to data center providers– Complete interoperation between Enterprise Grids– Final computing-as-a-utility model begins to emerge

SNIA Storage Management Initiative (SMI)
A major initiative of the Storage Networking Industry Association– To drive the creation and proliferation of open
standards for the management of heterogeneous storage networks
The SMI drives four major programs – Creating a Storage Standard (SMI-Specification)– Educating the Industry– Driving the implementation of SMI in vendors
products– Testing product compliance with the SNIA
Conformance Test Program (CTP)

SMI-S: an ANSI INCITS Standard
Successful completion of INCITS submission for approval
ANSI INCITS 388-2004, American National Standard for Information Technology – Storage Management
Based on version SMI-S v1.0.2, verifiable by the SNIA CTP.
SMI-S ISO certification submission expected in 2005

SMI Value
End-Users– Provides freedom
of choice– Reduce
management costs– Control agent
proliferation– Reduce overhead
and complexity
Industry– Accelerate product
acceptance and time to market
– Lowers development cost, spurs innovation
– Expand total market

SNIA IP Storage Forum
Mission– To drive the broad adoption of IP-based SAN storage
solutions IP Storage Protocols:
– iSCSI, FCIP, iFCP iSCSI is a standard SCSI block storage protocol
which uses TCP/IP for transport– Enables the creation of SANs based on Gigabit
Ethernet instead of Fibre Channel
© Network Appliance 2004 26
Data growth and server proliferation– Large numbers of Intel-architecture servers– Broad deployment of Windows server applications– Distributed business apps generating huge data growth– Business apps becoming mission critical
Scalability and data availability can be a major problem with DAS in these environments
Over-provisioning and data protection complexity make DAS increasingly expensive
Applications in this space often require either a DAS or a SAN solution
Cost, complexity and lack of expertise can prohibit traditional FC SAN implementation
iSCSI Addresses These Issues
IT Pain Points

Standard SAN storage– Block storage access– Supports all apps– Transparent migration from
direct attached storage Lower TCO than FC
– Less costly infrastructure– Easier to manage– Expertise in existing staff
Leverages IP Benefits– Plug-and-play
interoperability– Robust well-understood
management software– Enables global integration
of data assets

Summary
Each of these standards will become important to the IT community– Particularly in e-Governance
Grid environments are starting to roll out– Linux based– Flexible and massively scalable– Best price performance
SMI-S compliant products exist today IP SAN (iSCSI) is now being adopted by mainstream IT
organizations– Accelerating rate of adoption– Excellent value proposition compared with direct-attached
storage solutions– Major installations in both local and national government
environments
