1 Growth of Unstructured Data & Object Storage Marcel Laforce Sr. Director, Object Storage

2 Agenda Unstructured Data Growth Contrasting approaches: Objects, Files & Blocks The Emerging Object Storage Market (Market Sizing and Growth) Object Storage Use-Cases Components of an Object Storage Solution NetApp, Inc. All rights reserved.

3 The World Has Gone Digital 7 Exabytes Data traffic by mobile users worldwide in Petabytes Data processed by Google* every day in billion Pieces of content shared on Facebook* every day by July million Legitimate s sent every second in 2011 Managing petabytes is commonplace NetApp, Inc.

4 Unstructured Data Growth driven by macro trends Unstructured data continues to grow New sources of unstructured data growth media, mobile, IoT Data continues to be retained for long periods (archival, compliance, etc.) Highly cost sensitive PB scale repositories Driving tradeoffs between $/GB, latency, throughput, and data protection Data access is changing Geographically dispersed access Simultaneous access rarely required New data accessed initially than rarely Storage managed in a cloud ecosystem Unified management & orchestration Growth in cloud hosted applications that leverage object storage NetApp, Inc.

5 What is Object Storage? Block File Object SAN Interface Block granularity Modifiable data Specific location on disk No metadata NFS/CIFS File granularity Modifiable data Fixed logical hierarchy Very limited metadata HTTP Interface Object granularity Immutable data Location independent Rich metadata NetApp, Inc.

6 Object Storage Example: File vs. Object File Based Object Based Parking Garage Valet Daily Garage 1 Floor 4 Row N Space 53 /users/jsmith/car/garage1/floor4/rown/space53.file C:\Users\jsmith\Garage1\Floor4\RowN\Space53.file Object UID NetApp, Inc. All rights reserved.

7 Exabytes Why Object Storage Matters IDC Predicts accelerating adoption of Object-based software and appliances over the next 5 years, with a compounded annual growth rate of 55.3% * object-based software and appliances File-based software and appliance and gateways *July 2013, IDC Market Analysis: Worldwide File and Object-Based Storage Forecast NetApp, Inc.

8 Evolving Use Cases Data archives Larger objects, low transaction loads Long retention periods, latency tolerant Criteria: lowest cost, durable, automated tiering as value of data changes Media repositories Large objects, globally distributed Streaming data access, large throughput rates Criteria: multi-site, multi-app, scalability, automated distribution Web data repositories Small objects, extremely high transaction loads Billions of objects Criteria: scalability, performance, native web interfaces NetApp, Inc.

9 Challenges driving the adoption of Object Durability Scalability Manageability Scalability Accommodate boundless growth Durability Tolerate hard drive, system, and datacenter failures Manageability Accommodate seamless expansion and migration NetApp, Inc. All rights reserved.
