Organizations need help with Data
There are three key components required to begin the transformation of a traditional datacenter to an agile, cloud-like environment
VISIBILITY
AUTOMATION
CONTROL
Visibility of the entire infrastructure
Improve reliability and availability of critical workloads and place data in the right place at the
right time
Centralized management of the entire infrastructure to optimize your people for the
challenges of day to day operations
Things to Consider

For All Of Your Storage
Common services – Outside the box
Traditional (“fully allocated”) virtual disks use physical disk capacity for the entire capacity of a virtual disk even if it is not used
– Just like traditional disk systems
With thin provisioning, physical disk capacity is allocated and used when data is written
– Can significantly reduce amount of physical disk capacity needed
Can significantly improve existing disk systems
Works with all virtualized storage assets
Real-time compression can help freeze storage growth or delay need for additional purchases
Delivers 50% or better compression for data that is not already compressed
Compression helps reduce – Storage purchase costs
– Rack space
– Power and cooling
– Software costs for additional functions
Works with all virtualized storage assets
Manage Data Growth to control costs
Application-protected copies for near-instant restore of application protected volumes with snapshot inventory for other
uses
Active-Active Data Centers enables real-time data mobility between locations to extend storage infrastructure outside
physical walls
Synchronous Disaster Protection for Regional Data Centers with advanced efficiency features to provide data
protection while conserving valuable storage space
Asynchronous Disaster Protection for Global Data Centers with low bandwidth options to provide data protection
over any kind of WAN link
Ensure 24/7 availability
AUTOMATION
Applications are not created equal
20TB of storage for a database has far different requirements than 20 TB for a file share
An objective assessment of existing workload demands is extremely difficult to undertake
Proactively assign storage to pools based on
QoS criteria
Define additional characteristics such as
performance and availability
Assign meaningful names for admins and end
users
Reduce options for users to improve agility and
efficiency of provisioning process
Define Service classes for Storage
Web-based on demand
self-service provisioning of
storage capacity
Improves user productivity and
increases operational efficiency
User assumes accountability for
the storage service level / cost
that is requested
Deliver an efficient cloud-like storage service that helps maintain
accountability for storage use
Enable self-service provisioning
Take the guess-work out of managing
workloads across multiple tiers of storage
Policy-based data placement provides
objective analysis of workload placement
Intelligent analytics make
recommendations based on historical
performance with automated, transparent
migration to appropriate storage tier
Place data on the right tier at the right time
Application aware snapshot management – Consistent copies of mission critical data for use
as instant restore backup, archive, test, or development
Improved data protection of VMware environments with better recovery time objectives
Improved Application Protection
A New Approach – IBM Software Defined Storage
Securely “Unbox” From Traditional Storage Devices
