Agenda

The Information Explosion Creates a Value Gap Storage requirement growth outpaces storage budget growth
Time
Required Budget
Actual Budget
Focus now, or gap continues to get wider
Requirement:Take Control of Data Growth and Storage Efficiency through Optimization
Data is doubling every 18 months
Storage budgets are not
Closing the gap is essential
Data
Value Gap to properly support the growth in requirements, the following would also need to increase:
Cap ex – acquisition costs of new technology to support growing data needs
Op ex – with additional technology acquisitions, comes increased maintenance costs:
Energy costs # of people managing Space

Does this sound familiar?
I need to reduce costs, improve performance and increase IT flexibility
We are experiencing explosive information growth!
We need to deliver more business value from our IT investment
My data is not adequately protected
I want to maintain access to information only throughout its useful life

Realize savings on:Storage CostsPower Costs Floorspace CostsOperational CostsTape CostsArray Maintenance Costs
What you can expect from the assessment and solution Implement proven technologies and realize savings in the following areas
Storage Virtualization
Offload both local and remote replicas from expensive disk to low cost alternatives
Thin Provisioning
Allows for better utilization of historically underutilized capacity
Data Deduplication
Removes multiple instances of the same data
Cloud Storage
Provides simplified access to data and frees IT staff to focus on core business
Storage Service Catalog
Prevents wasteful provisioning practices such as assignment of unnecessary replicas and excess primary storage
Data Archiving
Removes outdated records to make better use of assigned storage
Content Expiration
Purge unneeded data
Advanced Storage Reporting
Facilitates the reuse of existing capacity, reducing purchasing requirements, power consumption and floorspace sprawl

Using IBM Storage as a Service, Client XXX
will reduce storage requirements that will also result in a significant reduction in the data storage footprint.
• Achieving these results assumes:– Effective systems management process are employed (e.g. ITIL, CobiT)– More effective utilization is achieved through virtualization and thin-provisioning– Reclaim storage by utilizing more effective data content management techniques (TSPC for

Dramatic reduction in power and floor space is also possible
13
Optimization will reduce power by 64% and floor space by 68% over BAU
Optimized solution reduces existing footprint = less power and floor space required
Extend the life of existing datacenters via smarter technology and processes
Increased utilization and reduced growth rate allows for leveling of power and floor space requirements

Complexity (1-10)
Orphaned Storage
Storage configured to servers but not picked up on the host side. Could be a server that was removed, but with volumes that weren't unmasked or a server on which the storage hasn't been picked upon scanning the bus. 81 Days 3
Orphaned Uninstrumented
Storage that may or may not be orphaned. This is caused by SRM agents not being properly rolled out or discovery not being completed. 64 Days/Weeks 5
Reclaimable Storage Storage presented to a server but not in a volume group 79 Days 3
