3 Agenda The Data Center Challenge What is the Status of Storage Management Today? Highlights The Reality Into the Slope of Enlightenment The evolution Taking charge of your storage management needs Recommendations 3

4 The Data Center Challenge 4

5 TheInfoPro Managing Storage Growth - number one pain point 5

6 Storage Management Challenges Application Application Application 6

7 Storage managers want basic tools Rank the following storage management functions in order of importance to you SRM Ops mgmt Performance mgmt Config mgmt Provisioning ILM Compliance Functions were ranked and rankings were converted to an index, with SRM=100 What Storage Managers Are Buying Storage magazine Spring 2006 Purchasing Intentions Survey 7

8 Storage Mgmt Software Revenue Asia/Pacific EMEA Americas $ millions Source: IDC #

9 What is the Status of Storage Management Today? Highlights Standards Vendor investments and certifications Reality Hype Cycle Changing vendor landscape Capabilities Recommendations 9

10 Management Interoperability Through Standards SMI-S Storage Management Applications CIM/WBEM (XML over HTTP) Array Provider SMI-S Instrumentation Switch Provider SNIA-SML Provider SNIA HBA API Provider Disk Arrays FC Switches Tape Libraries FC HBAs 10

11 SMI-S Providers Deliver Properties & Services SMI makes the management of storage better Storage Management Applications CIM/WBEM (XML over HTTP) Management Services Object Oriented, Platform Independent, Automated Discovery, Security, Configuration, Provisioning Operations, etc Individual Device Properties FC Switches FC HBAs Disk Arrays Tape Libraries 11

12 SRM Today Enterprise RFPs and Deployments Growing Steadily Worldwide implementations in Global 200 accounts Financial, Healthcare, Media, Manufacturing, Telecom Vendor Consolidation SMI-S in SRM SMI-S implemented by all leading SRM vendors Over 500 products CTP compliant SRM as a Storage Management Platform Not just for file servers anymore Encompassing term for all things Storage Management 2 nd Generation 12

13 Heterogeneous SRM Solution 13

14 SMI-S: an ANSI INCITS and ISO Standard Successful completion of INCITS ANSI INCITS , American National Standard for Information Technology Storage Management SMI-S ISO certification 14

15 SMI-S: The SRM Enabler Assists Daily Operations Automates discovery, monitoring, reporting, policy actions Reduces repetitive, manual administration Moves admin from reactive to proactive management Enables Strategic IT Initiatives Provides planning information and decision support Accelerates project timelines and reduces costs Reporting/tracking communicates project success SRM Ops mgmt Performance mgmt Config mgmt Provisioning ILM Compliance 15

16 Heterogeneous Discovery Benefits: Improve operational efficiency Ensure data availability Freedom to buy storage hardware that meets business and budget needs 16

17 Resource Impact on Applications SRM Benefits: Predict impact of SAN changes on business Ensure application availability 17

18 Capacity Management SRM Benefits: Prevent capacity shortages Optimize existing resources Simplify consolidation efforts Simplify planning 18

19 Capacity Planning Tools 19

20 Reporting and Performance Monitoring SRM Benefits: Identify root causes or performance problems Improve service levels 20

21 Performance Monitoring 21

22 Backup management and SLAs SRM Benefits: Identify unprotected servers, files, and applications Pinpoint root causes of backup failure Compare and communicate actual performance against backup and recovery service SLAs 22

23 Integrated Backup Reporting 23

24 Asset utilization and chargeback SRM Benefits: Align storage costs with business units that are responsible for them Communicate business value of storage infrastructure Identify out-of-date storage assets, firmware, and drivers 24

25 Asset and Utilization Reports 25

26 The Reality 26

27 SRM Vendor Reality Vendor consolidation Top 6 client vendors have 90% of the SRM market Source: Gartner Dataquest (June 2006) Storage Management Software, Worldwide, Acquisitions or changing business models Integration is not pervasive - yet Must validate versions and support statements from vendors Integration may be greater only on certain products Not all functionality is supported Varied profiles supported Device managers are still needed Deployment disappointment Vendors may oversell Scalability and performance may be an issue Installation service requirements Lack of legacy support Server Virtualization management requirements 27

28 Into the Slope of Enlightenment 28

29 Storage Management Initiative Ecosystem Road Map The journey continues Expanded CTP Client Tests Health/Fault Management Expanded CTP Provider Tests Ease of Deployment Bluefin Contribution to SNIA SNIA CTP Provider Tests SNIA CTP Client Tests Tools: Protocol MIFGen SNIA SMI-Specification V1.0-V1.1 SMI-Lab provider validation SNIA SMI-S V1.2-V1.3 SMI-Lab client validation SNIA SMI-S V1.4-V1.5 & MF Specs Secure Storage Client Enablement (e.g., Management Frameworks) Release Themes -Monitoring Software Projects -Health -Security Functional Coverage (Vendor Extensions) Performance Management SNIA SMI-S V1.6-V1.7 & MF Specs

30 Industry Commitment Baseline functionality stabilized The SNIA is committed to enhancing the standard Vendors are reducing complexity of their solutions SMI-S is critical to integrate multi-vendors Interoperability and capabilities are maturing 30

31 Business Impact of SRM Reduces costs IT processes and operations efficiencies Reduces complexity Business performance improvements Capacity utilization Application performance Workload sharing Storage virtualization Data protection Server virtualization management Enables choice and interoperability 31

32 Enhancing Your Success Justify acquisition on baseline functionality Validate with similar customer reference (scale, environment, capabilities) Validate feature support on each HW platform Understand agent requirements Prepare to maintain agent updates Validate reporting expectations Apply appropriate service for configuration Plan service $$ to be similar to SW $$ Validate service skills (try to get A team) Apply appropriate internal resource (FTE for 6 months) 32

33 You Can Benefit Today There are people out there who haven t put in any kind of storage resource management (SRM) and they are drowning in complexity, said Brad Wood, senior director of enterprise technology at Corrections Corporation of America. I should have looked at SRM sooner. 33
