2 The demands placed on the data center have never been greater 32.6 million servers worldwide 85% idle computer capacity 15% of servers run 24/7 without being actively used on a daily basis Between 2000 and 2010 servers grew 6x ( 00-10) storage grew 69x ( 00-10) virtual machines grew 51% CAGR ( 04-10) Internet connected devices growing 42% per year 1.2 Zetabytes (1.2 trillion gigabytes) exist in the digital universe 50% YTY growth 25% of data is unique; 75% is a copy Data centers have doubled their energy use in the past five years 18%increase in data center energy costs projected Since 2000 security vulnerabilities grew eightfold while IT budgets are growing less than 1% per year. 1

3 Data continues to grow So does Capex required Capex available today/or Must be reduced by X% Understanding the business issue Do you buy cheaper storage at the cost of compromised service levels? Operating costs keep rising driven by more data to manage Capex Budget time time How can we manage this growth and risk with less Capex and Opex available?

5 IBM San Volume Controller (SVC) Storage virtualization for heterogeneous storage environments 2010 IBM Corporation

6 Do you understand the benefits of server virtualization? higher utilization less waste of capacity higher flexibility right load on right hardware higher availability real 24x7 environment independence of hardware more choices... Why not get the same benefits using storage virtualization!

7 IBM SAN Volume Controller (SVC) Windows UNIX Linux Virtual disks With the SVC, hosts see one type of disk One device type One multi-pathing driver One management interface IBM SAN EMC HDS Sun HP Disks from different vendors Different device types Different multi-pathing drivers Different management interfaces

8 In Band Storage Virtualization SVC engine based on IBM System x server

9 Non-disruptive Data Migration with SAN Volume Controller Traditional SAN 1. Stop applications 2. Move data 3. Re-establish host connections 4. Restart applications SAN Volume Controller 1. Move data Host systems and applications are not affected. SAN Virtual SAN Disk SAN Volume Controller

10 Infrastructure Simplification with SAN Volume Controller Traditional SAN Capacity is isolated in SAN islands Multiple management points Poor capacity utilization Capacity is purchased for, and owned by individual processors SAN Volume Controller Combines capacity into a single pool Uses storage assets more efficiently Single management point Capacity purchases can be deferred until the physical capacity of the SAN reaches a trigger point. 25% capacity SAN 50% capacity SAN 55% capacity 95% capacity SAN Volume Controller

11 Business Continuity with SAN Volume Controller Traditional SAN Replication API s differ by vendor Replication destination must be the same as the source Different multipath drivers for each array Lower-cost disks offer primitive, or no replication services SAN Volume Controller Common replication API, SAN-wide, that does not change as storage hardware changes Common multipath driver for all arrays Replication targets can be on lower-cost disks, reducing the overall cost of exploiting replication services FlashCopy PPRC SAN TimeFinder SRDF SAN SAN Volume Controller SVC IBM DSx IBM DSx EMC Sym EMC Sym IBM DSx IBM DS4x EMC Sym HP MA IBM S-ATA
