New Sources of Data to Analyze –the Four V’s of big data

• Volume• Scale of data has grown beyond relational

database capabilities

• Variety• Machine data, enterprise content and social

media and email

• Velocity• Computing has advanced to receive and

analyze real-time data streams

• Veracity• Do you trust the data used to make

decisions to be true and accurate?

Deduplication

� Real-Time Compression is a method of reducing storage needs by changing the encoding scheme as the data is being read and written

� Short patterns for frequent data

� Longer patterns for infrequent data

� Can achieve 40 to 80 percent reduction in storage capacity for active data

� Data deduplication is a method of reducing storage needs by eliminating duplicate copies of data�Store only one unique instance of the

data

�Redundant data replaced with pointer

�Can achieve 80 to 95 percent reduction in storage capacity for backup data

between Flash, Enterprise and Nearline media

– Small amount of Flash can provide huge

performance gains

– Available on:

� DS8870 / DS8800 / DS8700

� SVC and Storwize products

� FlashSystem V9000

– Transparent to applications

– Just turn it on and let it work!

I/O Priority Manager (QoS)

I/O Priority Manager aligns service levels to separate workloads in the system

• Administrators select from different QoSPerformance Groups (service levels) to assign to each application workload

• System resources are dynamically allocated to higher priority applications during resource contention

Performance when and where you need it –

DS8870, DS8800, DS8700 and XIV Gen3

Reduced Costs, Increased Flexibility

� Lower costs primarily from:

– Lower cost of media

– Minimal need for Power & Cooling

� Increased flexibility from ability to:

– Add capacity by simply adding tape cartridges

– Expand tape libraries over and around existing equipment in the data center

� Reliability: lower bit-error-rates, read verifications after writes.

The Technology and the Business Side of Cloud

Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction.*

OpenStack IBM Cloud x86-only

IBM is a platinum sponsor of OpenStack Foundation

OpenStack open source codecan manage IBM compute, network and storage resources OpenStack supports x86, POWER Systems and z System mainframe

IBM offers Cinder interfaces on most of its major storage products and Swift interfaces for object access

IBM Cloud is based on OpenStack open source code, with value-added proprietary features from IBM

IBM Cloud Manager with OpenStack and IBM Cloud Orchestrator support a variety of server hypervisors

IBM Spectrum Control™ provide reporting, provisioning, trouble shooting and chargeback capabilities

VMware and Microsoft are entirely proprietary, but have a large market share for x86-based server infrastructure

IBM was VMware’s first OEM and joint development partner (since 1998) IBM Global Services is one of VMware’s largest customers

IBM and Microsoft agreement to offer SQL Server and .NET on IBM Cloud and IBM software on Microsoft Azure

“Some assembly required” Enterprise-ready out of the box

x86, POWER systems and z System mainframe Concerns about vendor lock-in
