3 Abstract The Storage Capacity Design Dilemma As architects, we must continually discover capability limits, constraints, and patterns and match requirements, capabilities and cost to provide an effective design. When we add the business requirements, it becomes the core mantra of ILM. Yet translating these requirements into hardware and software is not easy. In the process, we must continuously choose between complex alternatives, some of which seem equally unacceptable, and hence the dilemma. In this session, we will introduce fundamentals of storage infrastructure design from the perspective of ILM requirements. We will introduce key formulas, the science of storage capacity planning and follow a case study to demonstrate application in host, fabric and array design, to meet the requirements. The dilemmas of design decisions clear up once you know the formulas. It will change your thinking. The Storage Capacity Design Dilemma 2007 Storage Networking Industry Association.

4 Objectives In this session, we have a dual focus on the science and consultative process of developing a mature discipline of storage capacity assessment, planning and design. The IT Information Library (ITIL) is the foundation of the methodology. Essential formulas come from a variety of sources. Objectives: Know basic storage capacity and performance formulas Design for capacity and scalability in hosts, SAN, storage arrays and backup Understand how to break out of the most common storage design dilemmas The Storage Capacity Design Dilemma 2007 Storage Networking Industry Association.

18 Systematic Approach Assessment is a systematic approach to enable diverse requirements, including availability, capacity, cost, compliance and governance to be met over time. The process achieves alignment at best cost by summarizing requirements and matching them to capabilities at each requirement state change. The range of solutions available are limited by the value of information, with the goal of minimizing budgets, both capital and expense.

19 Storage Tier A storage tier is a collection of storage capacity that meets requirements with a consistent set of attributes, capabilities and characteristics which may include: Availability Performance Quality of Service Cost Storage Tier Storage Service For example: it is possible that disks in the same array might be treated as different tiers because of RAID Level, data location on a spindle or other characteristics the choice is yours The Storage Capacity Design Dilemma 2007 Storage Networking Industry Association.
