Growth of data from different sources

SOURCE: *2014 IBM Institute for Business Value Study on Infrastructure Matters; Gartner IT Metrics

Data growth is continuing to explode

2.5 Billiongigabytes of data per

day

90%of data created in

last two years

Data Explosion

6.75 TBs of data will be created per person per day by

2018

IoT will connect 30 billion devices

by 2020


Storage trendsContinued dramatic growth in data driven by mobile, analytics, IoT, hybrid cloud, cognitive business and big data

Sources: ESG, IDC

“IDC predicts that over 80% of enterprise IT organizations will commit to hybrid cloud architectures by 2017.”

Transition of data types with new workloads, new applications

New storage deployment models powered by software

70% of clients deploying object storage or plan to within 24 months

By 2018, storage-rich servers are expected to account for

50%of new capacity purchases

60% of clients committed to SDS

23% interested

Transition to cloud models


New generation application workloadsTraditional application workloads

Scale out infrastructure to support new workloads requires new approaches to management

Traditional workloads require further optimization, leveraging features in applications, hypervisors and storage

Traditional Data Protection Approach

Traditional Applications

• Deduplication/compression• Tiered storage• DR copy• Long term retention

Integration with APIs and CLIs

Incremental forever orPeriodic full + incremental copy

Client or Proxy Data Mover

Purpose• Recover from storage failure• Disaster recovery• Recover from application or

operator error• Recover from malware• Archive or regulatory copy

Integration with backup server

Evolution of Data Protection:Storage Snapshot Backup

Snapshot Orchestration

Optional Periodic Backup

Advantages:• Fast backup, fast recoveryChallenges:• End to end orchestration• Complexity• The old way works (or used to)

Evolution of Data Protection:Self-Protecting Storage

Snapshot or Differential Backup

Direct Copy to Storage

Advantages:• Fast backup, fast recoveryChallenges:• End to end orchestration, reporting• Data movement for large backups
