Defining Virtualization Virtualization is an abstraction technology that provides logical views of physical elements Virtualization simplifies infrastructure by consolidating many virtual entities onto a small number of physical elements Virtualization can reduce cost, complexity and management overhead while improving resource utilization 6
EMC s End-to-End Virtual Infrastructure APP OS Virtual Machines APP APP APP OS OS OS APP OS Virtual Host Environments Multiple virtual machines running on a single server VMware ESX, MS Hyper-V Interconnect topology Virtual Paths Multiple virtual paths through a physical network topology EMC PowerPath Virtual Storage Services Virtual Storage Environments Transparent data mobility and migration across multiple tiers and/or storage arrays EMC CLARiiON, Symmetrix, and Invista 7
Storage Virtualization Objectives Storage virtualization is the consolidation of multiple tiers of storage within a single pane of management All tiers of storage easily and quickly configured and managed, lowering management effort and cost Relocation of data between tiers and between arrays is accomplished transparently to host applications High resource utilization and capacity efficiency minimizes the amount of storage that must be purchased and managed 8
Array-based Virtualization Tier-0 Tier-1 Tier-1 Tier-1 Lower TCO Faster ROI Less power SAN Tier-2 Tier-2 Tier-1 Tier-4 Tier-3 Better performance Easier management High availability Servers Logical application/ user view Virtual Provisioning and LUN Migration within the array Array-based Tiering Simple, Economical, and Easy to Manage Performance and consolidation for Enterprise environments Flexibility within the frame for tiering, cloning, replication and management Ease of use for advanced functionality like virtual provisioning and virtual LUNs Data mobility across tiers while applications remain online Lower operational costs and complexity Leverage maturity and resiliency of array operating environments Utilize scalable processing power of high end arrays EMC supports storage tiering on Symmetrix, CLARiiON and Celerra platforms 9
Network-based Storage Virtualization Tier-0 Tier-1 Tier-1 Tier-1 SAN Tier-2 Tier-2 Tier-1 Tier-4 Tier- 3 Servers Logical application/ user view Heterogeneous mobility and management across multiple arrays Heterogeneous Tiering Simplified heterogeneous storage management Ongoing, non-disruptive data mobility Flexible And Economical Across Heterogeneous Storage Enterprise management for multivendor environments Single interface for storage functions like provisioning and volume management Heterogeneous cloning and replication technologies Virtualized end-to-end resource management Data mobility across heterogeneous arrays with no impact to business operations Eliminate planned and unplanned downtime Reduce migration costs Increase ability to meet service levels EMC Invista supports heterogeneous operating systems and storage 10

EMC Celerra Data Deduplication Increasing Storage Efficiency with File- Level Deduplication and Compression 36
Managing Multiple Copies of Data Reality: Pressure to Store More Efficiently Data growth is exploding, primarily due to the growth of unstructured data Having multiple copies of data is desirable Having multiple copies of data is widely considered prudent and responsible However Having an unnecessarily large number of copies of data is wasteful and irresponsible Lowering infrastructure costs is a necessity 37
