Agenda

1. Current issues in storage management

2. Coupling with efficiency and energy issues: data growth and

storage consolidation

3. How the Fujitsu approach addresses such issues


2

Server virtualization

heavily impacts storage

Much, much, much more

data per system

Dynamic IT and cloud create

future requirements

Disaster recovery concepts

have become a must


Data Protection is becoming

more and more important

Current issues in storage management

Data growth & storage consolidation

What does

that mean

Amount of data keeps on growing faster and faster

IT wants to reduce system count → storage consolidation

Amount of data per system is exploding

What to

consider

How does the architecture scale – too big and too small is too expensive

How to improve utilization of existing capacity

Applications with different requirements – automate service levels

regarding capacity, cost and speed

Performance architecture for guaranteed response times at high workloads

The more data the more data loss and corruption – check data safety

Security is important – think about encryption





data per system


future requirements


have become a must

What does

that mean

Virtual servers are files on a storage systems. Servers become data

Storage is crucial for an efficient and reliable operation of virtual servers

What to

consider

Look for performance headroom

High availability is key. No running storage system – no virtual servers.

Integration of the storage into virtualization management

Server virtualization comprises servers, storage and network.

Look for an end-to-end management





data per system


future requirements


have become a must



5

Disaster recovery

What does

that mean

Natural and men made disasters are increasing

Keep data available and IT running by having data copies

on more than one site

What to

consider

Functionality for data replication, remote copies

Flexibility to do copies between different system sizes

Flexibility to do copies between multiple sites

Level of automation

Support of long distances





data per system


future requirements


have become a must



6

Dynamic & cloud-like infrastructures

What does

that mean

Provisioning of IT configurations (server & storage & network) take too long,

are to inflexible and need too much manual coordination

Dynamic, cloud-like infrastructures deliver complete configurations

automatically

Click your infrastructure

What to

consider

Infrastructure resource management to provision servers, storage capacity

and network connections in an integrated way

Definition of configurations on a logical level

Automated provisioning of defined configurations





data per system


future requirements


have become a must



7

Data Protection

What does

that mean

70% of downtime is planned

80% of unplanned downtime goes along with data corruption

For 24% of downtimes data protection is a must

Even for the 76%: If a disaster occurs, high availability only

is not good enough

What to

consider

Implement a virtualization layer between servers and libraries (Tape

Virtualization) and remove the technical interdependencies between server

architecture and tape technologies

Care for virtualization solution that manages backup to disk and backup to

tape in a uniform way while reducing operational and maintenance

efforts drastically

have become a must

Seamless product family manages any data growth

A real family of products, not a patchwork family

Seamless product line-up with compatible components and functions

between the models

Same management software for all models

Why is this important for data growth / consolidation

System upgrades from entry-level to high-end allows

a flexible growth without wasting previous investments

Supports storage consolidation projects

One storage management for all models makes

administration and maintenance efficient

Train one - know all

Allows to operate several systems in a uniform way

and minimizes migration costs to larger systems

A seamless product family is key to manage data growth

Seamless product family, seamless growth

A seamless family design allows to grow with the business

ETERNUS DX offers extensive scalability within a model

ETERNUS DX allows to scale by upgrading to bigger model within the range

Maximum investment protection

A seamless product family reduces the costs of growth

Thin provision for better capacity usage

Invest in additional when you really need it

Virtual volumes

Physical

drive

Physical

capacity

matches

current

requirements

Logical capacity

matches future

requirement

The challenge

More storage capacity is reserved for

applications than initially needed

Consequences: more and more buffer

for data growth

In consolidated environments this leads

to big upfront investments in capacity

The solution: Thin provisioning

ETERNUS DX assigns

virtual storage capacity

The "real" storage

is pooled for actual usage


14

Automated balancing of speed, capacity and costs

The challenge

In consolidated storage systems

there are different applications

having different requirements

The solution: Automatic tiering

ETERNUS DX allows to mix

different disk types in one system

With policy based, automated

tiering the assignment of disk types

can be changed during operation

Allows to provide always

the right service level in terms

of speed, capacity and costs


15

Data growth requires more system performance

ETERNUS DX is based on a performance architecture

Lean, real-time operating system with performance -tuned algorithms

Delivers a stable response time under full workload

Leads in benchmarks and our customers consistently report performance advantages vs. comparable systems

Why is this important for data growth / consolidation?

Allows to consolidate more I/O-hungry applications on one system without compromising service quality

Supports big database systems and OLTP applications where performance relies on storage response times

Need of less buffer capacity reduces investments

A consequent performance architecture assures high quality of service


16
