9 ILM - Information Lifecycle Management Create Archive Store Delete R1 R2 R3 Database Archive Data - File System - Archive Data -StorageSystem - Information Lifecycle Management comprises the policies, processes, practices and tools used to align the business value of information with the most appropriate and cost-effective IT infrastructure from the time information is conceived through its final disposition. Information is aligned with business processes through management policies and service levels associated with applications, metadata, information, and data. ILM Definition from SNIA (Information Technology and Information Storage industries) 9

10 ILM - Information Lifecycle Management Create Archive Store Delete R1 R2 R3 Database Archive Data - File System - Archive Data -StorageSystem - The requirements on a company s information in the current DV system (ERP, BW) define their principles of Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) Classification Age of the data Residence time Legal requirements Application data daily operation, frequent access Reference data audits (internal, external) Data storage optimization Online, nearline, archive, deletion SOX, IRS, GDPdU,... Comfortable and quick access to application data Storage and access optimization (DB Capacity, recovery, backup,...) 10

11 ILM - Information Lifecycle Management Create Archive Store Delete R1 R2 R3 Database Archive Data - File System - Archive Data -StorageSystem - Database Data Archived Application Data Database System with Large Data Growth Database System with Small Data Growth The requirements on a company s information in the current DV system (ERP, BW) define their principles of Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) 11

12 Motivation => Potential Savings Create Archive Store Delete R1 R2 R3 Database Archive Data - File System - Archive Data -StorageSystem - Potential savings by early data archiving: Significant reduction of the database size/growth Reduction of hardware and administration costs Better performance shorter response time Less effort for daily backup and potential desaster recovery Compliant data management to cover legal requirements 12
