4. Data growth & storage consolidation
Much, much, much more Server virtualization
data per system heavily impacts storage
Disaster recovery concepts Dynamic IT and cloud create
have become a must future requirements
Data Protection is becoming
more and more important
What does  Amount of data keeps on growing faster and faster
that mean  IT wants to reduce system count → storage consolidation
 Amount of data per system is exploding
What to  How does the architecture scale – too big and too small is too expensive
consider  How to improve utilization of existing capacity
 Applications with different requirements – automate service levels
regarding capacity, cost and speed
 Performance architecture for guaranteed response times at high workloads
 The more data the more data loss and corruption – check data safety
 Security is important – think about encryption

5. Server virtualization
Much, much, much more Server virtualization
data per system heavily impacts storage
Disaster recovery concepts Dynamic IT and cloud create
have become a must future requirements
Data Protection is becoming
more and more important
What does  Virtual servers are files on a storage systems. Servers become data
that mean  Storage is crucial for an efficient and reliable operation of virtual servers
What to  Look for performance headroom
consider  High availability is key. No running storage system – no virtual servers.
 Integration of the storage into virtualization management
 Server virtualization comprises servers, storage and network.
Look for an end-to-end management

6. Disaster recovery
Much, much, much more Server virtualization
data per system heavily impacts storage
Disaster recovery concepts Dynamic IT and cloud create
have become a must future requirements
Data Protection is becoming
more and more important
What does  Natural and men made disasters are increasing
that mean  Keep data available and IT running by having data copies
on more than one site
What to  Functionality for data replication, remote copies
consider  Flexibility to do copies between different system sizes
 Flexibility to do copies between multiple sites
 Level of automation
 Support of long distances

7. Dynamic & cloud-like infrastructures
Much, much, much more Server virtualization
data per system heavily impacts storage
Disaster recovery concepts Dynamic IT and cloud create
have become a must future requirements
Data Protection is becoming
more and more important
What does  Provisioning of IT configurations (server & storage & network) take too long,
that mean are to inflexible and need too much manual coordination
 Dynamic, cloud-like infrastructures deliver complete configurations
automatically
 Click your infrastructure
What to  Infrastructure resource management to provision servers, storage capacity
consider and network connections in an integrated way
 Definition of configurations on a logical level
 Automated provisioning of defined configurations

8. Data Protection
Much, much, much more Server virtualization
data per system heavily impacts storage
Disaster recovery concepts Dynamic IT and cloud create
have become a must future requirements
Data Protection is becoming
more and more important
What does  70% of downtime is planned
that mean  80% of unplanned downtime goes along with data corruption
 For 24% of downtimes data protection is a must
 Even for the 76%: If a disaster occurs, high availability only
is not good enough
What to  Implement a virtualization layer between servers and libraries (Tape
consider Virtualization) and remove the technical interdependencies between server
architecture and tape technologies
 Care for virtualization solution that manages backup to disk and backup to
tape in a uniform way while reducing operational and maintenance
efforts drastically

11. Seamless product family manages any data growth
 A real family of products, not a patchwork family
 Seamless product line-up with compatible components and functions
between the models
 Same management software for all models
 Why is this important for data growth / consolidation
 System upgrades from entry-level to high-end allows
a flexible growth without wasting previous investments
 Supports storage consolidation projects
 One storage management for all models makes
administration and maintenance efficient
 Train one - know all
 Allows to operate several systems in a uniform way
and minimizes migration costs to larger systems
A seamless product family is key to manage data growth

12. Seamless product family, seamless growth
 A seamless family design allows to grow with the business
 ETERNUS DX offers extensive scalability within a model
 ETERNUS DX allows to scale by upgrading to bigger model within the range
 Maximum investment protection

14. Thin provision for better capacity usage
The challenge Physical
Virtual volumes drive
 More storage capacity is reserved for
applications than initially needed
 Consequences: more and more buffer
for data growth
 In consolidated environments this leads
to big upfront investments in capacity
The solution: Thin provisioning
 ETERNUS DX assigns Logical capacity Physical
virtual storage capacity matches future capacity
requirement matches
 The "real" storage current
is pooled for actual usage requirements
Invest in additional when you really need it

15. Automated balancing of speed, capacity and costs
The challenge ETERNUS DX
 In consolidated storage systems
there are different applications
having different requirements
The solution: Automatic tiering SSD SAS NL-SAS
 ETERNUS DX allows to mix
different disk types in one system
Perfor-
 With policy based, automated mance
tiering the assignment of disk types
can be changed during operation Capacity
 Allows to provide always
the right service level in terms
Cost
of speed, capacity and costs

16. Data growth requires more system performance
 ETERNUS DX is based on a performance architecture
 Lean, real-time operating system with
performance -tuned algorithms
 Delivers a stable response time under full workload
 Leads in benchmarks and our customers
consistently report performance advantages
vs. comparable systems
 Why is this important for data growth / consolidation?
 Allows to consolidate more I/O-hungry applications
on one system without compromising service quality
 Supports big database systems and
OLTP applications where performance
relies on storage response times
 Need of less buffer capacity reduces investments
A consequent performance architecture assures high quality of service
