14 EMC Storage Resource Management EMC SRM Suite Watch4net, Storage Configuration Advisor & ProSphere 14

15 What Is Storage Resource Management? Spans multiple device types VMAX, VNX Arrays, switches, hosts Key Functions End-to-end discovery; Topology & relationship mapping Multi-site management Capacity utilization and trend analysis Performance & availability management Configuration analysis Example: EMC ControlCenter & ProSphere 15

16 Controlling The Cost Of Data Growth Rapid data growth leads to rising storage costs while $/GB declines Over the next decade Data managed by enterprise datacenters will grow 50x Number of files will grow by 75x Number of IT professionals will grow < 1.5x Optimizing storage resources is essential to controlling IT costs Investments in Storage Resource Management help reduce these costs Source: IDC Digital Universe Study, June

17 The Impact Of Application Downtime What s the impact on YOUR business? 17

18 What If You Could Understand ALL storage relationships, dependencies and application impact? Assure storage related SLA, QoS and Chargeback? Optimize storage investments to control costs and improve productivity? 18

19 Relationships, Dependencies & Impact RECEIVE REAL-TIME UPDATES ON ALL RESOURCES AND DEPENDENCIES Quickly spot SLA issues that can lead to costly outages or performance problems ANALYZE APPLICATION PERFORMANCE AND CORRELATE WITH STORAGE METRICS Optimize storage investments to control costs while consistently meeting application service levels UNDERSTAND INTERDEPENDENCIES Adopt VMware and FAST VP with complete visibility of application to storage dependencies to ensure service levels 19

20 END-TO-END VISIBILITY Application Storage Interdependencies See relationships and topology Analyze infrastructure with a view into: Performance Health & Availability Configuration 20

21 Assure SLA, QoS & Chargeback IDENTIFY SLA ISSUES WITH CUSTOM DASHBOARDS AND THRESHOLDS Reduce time spent analyzing SLA compliance VALIDATE CONFIGURATIONS WITH EMC SUPPORT MATRIX AND YOUR BEST PRACTICES Avoid costly downtime due to configuration issues and reduce time spent planning and validating changes OPTIMIZE USE OF FAST VP VIA PERFORMANCE MONITORING AND CHARGEBACK Align performance with business requirements 21

22 Unified SLA Reports From Heterogeneous Sources All relationships mapped from the host to the array vcenter Servers Arrays Allocated Storage Capacity Metrics Performance Metrics One pane of glass Host Unification (Physical Windows/Unix, Virtual) 22

23 Optimize Resources & Productivity IDENTIFY APPROPRIATE TIER OF STORAGE Analyze application performance with storage workloads to select the best tier to reduce costs & meet service levels IMPROVE CAPACITY PLANNING WITH VISIBILITY INTO REPLICAS Reduce costs through more effective capacity planning ENHANCE PRODUCTIVITY Save time with anywhere, any-device access to comprehensive analysis 23

26 EMC PowerPath Automate path management for availability and performance 26

27 What Is Automated Path Management? Applications VMware PowerPath All data paths are active, optimized for load balancing Automates failover/ recovery for high availability Optimizes load balancing for performance Example: EMC PowerPath, Microsoft MPIO, VMware NMP Network 27

28 Optimize Load Balancing With PowerPath Virtual environments Exchange Log Video-on-Demand Decision-Support Exchange x-3x Performance Boost Over Native Multipathing PowerPath/VE over VMware NMP 8K OLTP File Server 25% 24% 22% 17% 143% 138% 0% 50% 100% 150% 200% Percentage (%) Better Throughput Adjust I/O path usage to changes in I/O loads from VMs automatically Assures all paths used Routes around failing paths Testing adjusted to host load to not impact applications Simplify provisioning by pooling connections Leverage defined policies to ensure automatic, optimized load balancing Source: ESG Lab: EMC PowerPath/VE - Automated Path Optimization for VMware Virtual Environments, April 2012 These tests were designed to simulate the real-world SAN conditions that organizations encounter every day, and were conducted using common tools to highlight the potential impact on application, SAN, and storage performance. While these test results represent what a user might experience, actual results will vary depending on the data center configuration. 28
