Is It Just About NetApp?

• No!

Types Of Unstructured Data

• Office automation files

• Images of customer interactions (e.g., contracts)

• Rich media (drawings, pictures, videos)

• HD security cameras

• Storing social media interaction

Use Cases For Unstructured Data

• Data Discovery

• Trend Analysis (e.g., social media)

• Data Exploration (e.g., most common diagnosis)

• Signal detection (e.g., diagnosis phrases that could lead to trouble)

Use Cases

NetApp’s Challenges In Meeting These Use Cases

• Limited scalability

• Leads to storage silos

• No centralized catalog of data content

• Repeated backup of fixed content

• Not usually performance: more scalability & management

NetApp Alternative: All-Flash Storage

• The problem was not performance

• Much more expensive

• Leaves with scalability issues

NetApp Alternative: Object Storage

• Very scalable long term storage of unstructured data

• Right price point for data with low perceived value

• Difficult to learn & manage another storage protocol

• Users will have multiple places to find their data

NetApp Alternative: Thin Provisioning Your NetApp

• Automatically move older files out to object storage

• Maintain mount point

• Gain scalability and manageability advantages of object storage

• Maintain mount points

• No change in user behavior

Have Your Cake And Eat It Too

• Don’t replace or buy more NetApp just because you’re at capacity

• Repurpose it instead

• Everybody wins!

Thin-Provision Primary NAS Storage

One quarter the cost of legacy storageTransparent file access – no application changes● Plugs into Windows and NetApp file servers

Streamlines backups, auto-tiering & restores● Policy-driven – set it and forget it

Global file repository & access● Aggregate files from multiple servers

Data is continuously protected, consolidated & searchable

Aligning data to the cost and performance of where it’s stored.

IT like large cloud providers

“Their Swarm system had the scale. It did not have file system limitations. And, they had the ability to tier data off our traditional NAS into a much cheaper, more scalable storage system.”
