For most midsized and even small businesses,managing data is a major challenge The growthof structured data from databases, e-mail, and otherapplications, as well as file data such as PDFs,audio, video, and graphics has been exponentialFurthermore, no end is in sight According to IDC, theneed for online data storage capacity is increasingat a rate of nearly 58 percent per year; by 2011, it isestimated that companies worldwide will require diskstorage of more than 32,000 petabytes of data1
The increasing flood of data can lead to a host ofproblems, like added time and system slowdownsdue to the sheer volume of data; added cost, in newequipment and especially in management overhead, toprovide for all this data accumulation; and the addedbusiness risk that comes with larger data stores
The temptation is to accommodate added data byincreasing the number of servers and disk drivesBut simply adding servers is not the answerin fact,without planning, the direct attachment of additionaldrives or servers can create islands of storage,resulting in greater management requirements Suchan unplanned and reactive approach to storage isinefficient, raising costs while limiting flexibility and thecapacity to respond to new business opportunities
Furthermore, whenever multiple devices are deployserve the same basic need, risks increase because are now multiple devices and file volumes to protec
Failing to recognize that data storage must bemanaged as a critical resource often results in a vdifficult environment to manage, a higher cost ofownership, less responsiveness to change and addrisk to the business
The answer: Consolidating storage with HP Simply
StorageWorks solutionsHP network storage provides many advantagesover the limitations of unplanned or direct attachestorage By consolidating storage into a dedicateresource, you can make your data available to ancomputer or server on the networkthere are noisolated silos or islands of capacity A dedicated,optimized network storage solution can reduceoperating costs by simplifying management andimproving capacity utilization

Choose the right storage networkFibre Channel: For larger, more demandingenvironments, Fibre Channel provides the highestlevels of performance and scalability Fibre Channelspeeds are typically 4 GB per second, but 8 GBper second connectivity is now becoming morewidely available
iSCSI: For smaller IT environments, iSCSI (or IP) SANsare ideal A dedicated Gigabit Ethernet network willprovide sufficient bandwidth to connect several serversto a SAN storage device, either with standard networkinterface cards (NICs) or with optional TCP/IP offloadengine (TOE) cards iSCSI provides the benefits ofshared storage for those with tight budgets and limitedstorage networking expertise
Real-world example: HP LeftHand P4500 SANScenario: A mid-size company with several remotesites is deploying a virtual server solution and neeshared storage to enable high availability At the stime, they would like to setup site redundancy so tare protected against a major disaster
Solution: HP ProLiant G6 servers running VMwareESX connected through iSCSI to an HP LeftHandP4500 Multi-site SAN in the primary site Both theHP LeftHand SAN and the ESX cluster would bestrategically located in separate buildings on thecampus for real-time, multi-site protection At eachthe remote sites run a single HP ProLiant G6 servewith VMware ESX and HP LeftHand P4000 Replicafor Remote Offices It would provide local primarystorage and data could be replicated to the primasite for disaster recovery
