Today’s issues
Across the Enterprise.
Managing the growth.
Managing across the Enterprise.
Resources and skill sets.
Budgets, justifications and ROI.
The world today
They said it was going to get easier.

Terabyte intensity index is increasing dramatically
• Disk storage system TB shipments are increasing almost 80% per year.
• Storage managers must improve efficiency more than 60% per year.

Skills shortage is increasingUnfilled IT positions are growing more than
5% per year.
More than 1.8 million IT positions will be unfilled in 2003.
The networked world makes job-switching easier.
Storage management positions taking more than 4 months to fill.
DBA positions taking 12 months to fill.

Storage Related Business Issues:Storage Management - the REAL cost of Storage
… the cost of managing data per megabyte can range from five to ten times the cost of the physical storage medium.
John Webster - Illuminata Inc.Storage Analyst and IT adviser
For every dollar that a company spends on storage, it can expect to spend ten times that sum in management costs.
“The Holy Grail of Data Storage Management” by Jon ToigoPrentice Hall, 2000
As storage hardware becomes an increasingly smaller portion of the total cost of storage infrastructure ownership, the value for suppliers and the largest expense for the customer moves from hardware to the management of storage.
Storage Infusion by Fred Moore President Horison Information Strategies

The SAN TodayCost of Storage Management (People & Administration)
Storage Area Network
Today’s SAN solutions Partially address this issue
Storage is centralized
People Resources are Centralized
Homogeneous Solutions - One Vendors Storage, Server, or Software
Hosts are communicating to actual devices

What happens when you don’t have a strategy?

HOW?
Virtualization
Doing more with LESS…Less Storage Assets
Less People
Less Time
Less Administration and Management

Types of Virtualization Host based
Volume managers
Storage basedVirtualization done at a controller level – host platform
independence
Network based In band appliance
•All data (control and user) flow through the appliance•High degree of security when volumes are accessed
Out of band appliance•Separate communication and data path•Agent software or special driver software required
