100% SPACE EFFICIENTNo space reservations

No metadata bloat


• Create TEST, DEV, QA landscapes from production instantly & efficiently– Eliminate need for “Gold Copies” or “split mirror”– Efficient data and metadata architecture

• Better overall availability metrics– Create on-demand backups almost instantly– Recover from data corruption faster

• No performance overhead– Exactly same performance as parent– Zero performance impact on Parent volume

AGILE SNAPSHOTS RADICAL SYSTEM LANDSCAPE SIMPLIFICATION


RADICAL SYSTEM LANDSCAPE SIMPLIFICATION

AGILE SNAPSHOT

• Snapshots for non-PRD systems reduce TCO

• Additional snapshots for DEV & QA increase code quality, speed development cycles and UAT faster innovation

• Snapshots can be used creatively for new projects, urgent break fix, EhP testing, etc.

Summary: Key Results of XtremIO Snapshots for SAP Impact of SnapshotsWith addition of PRE, QAS, SDX• 17:1 efficiency Increase

• Actual storage increases only 7GB

• Near zero impact to PRD

Impact of Architecture• Built in thin provisioning

− Storage allocated only when needed− Enable larger LUN’s for unexpected growth

• In Memory Meta Data Operations− Inline data reduction

− Thin provisioning

− Copy operations

INNOVATION

Run HANA on EMC

XtremIO


Customer example: Golf Equipment Manufacturer

Results40% TCO reduction 80% reduction in space consumed by copies

50%+ consolidation for virtual server vCPUs

7X more Prod snapshots maintained on live system (with massively reduced RTO)

More than 2X Performance Increase 75% reduction in ETL times (Extraction time)

66% reduction in long running batch jobs (3 days to 1 day)

60% reduction in database scan times

55% reduction in SAP BW Reporting run times

50% reduction in DB times within BW interaction process

ChallengesComplexity refreshing systems/data

Complex SAP Dev/Test/QA scale, Prod. performance tuning

System refreshes too complex, taking too long

Sandbox & Training Deployment complex & slow

Long running Loads & Batch Reports• 6 long running Batch (72 hours+)

• 2 Heavily compute & I/O intensive Cube Extractions

• Monthly reporting time too slow, rigid
