DigitalInformation

Production systemscan’t keep up withinformation growth

IDC Study Predicts 6x Increase by 2010

What about backup & recovery?


Information Challenges: Business Perspective

AvailabilityI want the information

when I need it

CostsMy information is growing at more

than 50 percent per year, but I cannot afford a 50 percent increase

in costs

ScalabilityHow can I react quickly

enough to changing business requirements?

SimplicityI want to use information, not

have to hire multiple specialists to manage it


Information Challenges: IT Perspective

BackupBackup windows keep growing, recovery takes longer and longer,

and it’s too expensive to keep adding backup hardware and software

Disaster RecoveryI need to protect these critical assets just like everything else

FlexibilityThe solution needs to leverage my current

infrastructure and adapt to tomorrow’s technology

ConsolidationI want to consolidate

distributed file servers and application data onto a

centralized storage solutionto drive down costs


What’s driving data growth?

• Regulation – Gov’t or industry

• Larger file sizes • applications add new features (bold, colours, fonts etc.)

• Audio files• wav, wma, mp3/4

• Video and picture files • mpeg, jpeg etc

• Poor or no corporate retention policies• Lack of resources and expertise to develop policies

• duplicate data in the IT environment• Multiple files of the same saved on storage


Understand your data environment

1. Do you know what type of data you have ?

What is it (files, databases, pictures of kids etc…)

2. Canadian average for Data growth is 50% per year – are you experiencing similar growth rates ?

3. What is causing the growth i.e. size of files, more employees, compliancy issues, poor retention policies- keeping everything JIC

4. Do you have a strategy to manage the growth ?

5. Do you understand the impact of this growth over timeboth in $ cost & service delivery


What is driving the need for SAN?

• Server and Disk consolidation • Blade server infrastructure

• New applications being rolled out • SAP, Oracle, CRM, VOIP

• MS Exchange upgrades and migrations

• DR initiatives with array based replication

• Server Virtualization •VMWare ESX 4.0

Businesses are focusing on “Information Lifecycle Management”

What is Information

Lifecycle Management

(ILM)?

The process of managing business The process of managing business data throughout its lifecycle from data throughout its lifecycle from

conceptionconception until until disposal disposal in a manner in a manner that optimizes storage at the lowest that optimizes storage at the lowest

costcost

Information Lifecycle Information Lifecycle ManagementManagement


Importance of Tiered Storage

• ILM matches the business value of the data to the value of the hardware

• Qualifying data into “tiers” based on business value to lower TCO

• Improve service levels to users

• Expensive FC disk is used for important data

• FATA disk can be used for 2nd tier of data

• Tape for off-line storage

Perception versus RealityPerception versus Reality

Is Your Business Protected ?

Regulation, corporate governance and terrorism concerns encourage awareness of vulnerabilities

Yet there continues to be a “protection gap” between business and IT executives

30

“It’s likely that IT operations professionals are crossing their fingers

and hoping a disaster won’t hit, while business executives have no idea

how vulnerable they really are to significant losses –

or to going out of business altogether.”

— Forrester Research, 2007


Information Protection = RPO, RTO, and TCO

Recovery Point Objective (RPO)

What If You Were Able to Effectively

• Meet protection service-level requirements on a consistent basis

• Restore your applications, mailboxes, files...or entire site in a timely manner

• Implement a cost-effective DR strategy with full confidence in your recovery processes

• Recover at a remote site without the headaches

•

• Incorporate virtual environments into existing BC/DR infrastructure
