Data Growth and Complexity

Average IT Database Growth 45% annually. Capital costs.

– Buy new hardware (storage, backup, infrastructure)

Operational costs.– Manually manage the data placement.

Performance implications of “more data”.– More cars on the highway means more traffic jams.

Managing Database Data GrowthPartitioning With ACO + HCC

Before HCC, assuming a 50TB database:Hot Data (5%) = 2.5TBActive Data (20%) = 10TBHistorical Data (75%) = 37.5TBTotal DB Size = 50TB

After HCC, assuming a 50TB database:Hot Data (5%) = 2.5TBActive Data (20%) = 3TBHistorical Data (75%) = 1TBTotal DB Size = 6.5TB

Total reduction in Historical Data partition useable space needed is 97% !Total reduction in DB useable space needed is 87% !

Pillar Axiom: Patented QoS

QoS settings control drive type, count, and stripe placement

Deterministic IO Prioritization:The End of archaic FIFO queue management

Distributed RAID controllers add back-end bandwidth as capacity grows

Controls read/write bias and RAID type

Cache allocation implicitly controlled via QoS settings

Controls CPU cycles, IO priority, and RAID grouping
