My Personal Fav…
FLASH
Advanced Systems Group
Secret decoder ring• What do you got?
¾ And what are you trying to do?• Automated tiering?
¾ No refresh planned¾ Static workloads, hot stays hot, cold stays cold¾ Consider flash appliances?
• Cache hybrid?¾ Ideal for SMB¾ VDI
Advanced Systems Group
Secret decoder ring• Flash only?
¾ Storage refresh is planned¾ Data not cache friendly or can’t be segmented easily¾ Performance is a high priority (versus cost)
• Flash in servers?¾ VDI¾ Data fits easily on form factor¾ No need for sharing, clustering or vMotion (not true anymore)¾ Integrated with storage controller

Infrastructure ContinuanceDisaster
An event or chain of events that result in the inability for you to
provide critical business functions for a period of time and/or causes the company to
move from using SOP to employing its disaster recovery
plan, potentially at another facility.
Business Interruption
Any event whether planned or unplanned that disrupts the
normal course of your operations, which if not
addressed within a predetermined amount of time,
may turn into a disaster.
