Agenda What is Big Data? InfoSphere BigInsights Infrastructure and Storage Considerations Concluding Thoughts 2
An Explosion of Data 1.3 Billion RFID tags in 2005 30 Billion RFID today 2 Billion Internet users by 2011 4.6 Billon Mobile Phones World Wide Capital market data volumes grew 1,750%, 2003-06 Twitter process 7 terabytes of data every day World Data Centre for Climate 220 Terabytes of Web data 9 Petabytes of additional data Facebook processes 10 terabytes of data every day 3
Information Overload But Lacking Insight 44x as much Data and Content Over Coming Decade 2020 35 Zettabytes Business leaders frequently 1in3 make decisions based on information they don t trust, or don t have Business leaders say they don t have access to the information 1in2 they need to do their jobs 2009 800,000 Petabytes 80% Of world s data is unstructured 83% of CIOs cited Business intelligence and analytics as part of their visionary plans to enhance competitiveness of CEOs need to do a better job capturing and understanding information rapidly in order to 60% make swift business decisions 4
The Big Data Opportunity Extracting insight from an immense volume, variety and velocity of data, in context, beyond what was previously possible. Variety: Velocity: Volume: Manage the complexity of data in many different structures, ranging from relational, to logs, to raw text Streaming data and large volume data movement Scale from Terabytes to Zettabytes 5
Where did this begin Apache Hadoop Open source framework for harnessing large volumes of unstructured-data - Inspired by Google technologies (MapReduce, GFS) - Originally built to address scalability problems of web search and analytics Processing Storage Enables applications to run on thousands of nodes and leverage Petabytes of data in a highly parallel, cost effective manner - CPU + Disks = Hadoop Node - Nodes can be combined into clusters - New nodes can be added dynamically - Provides simple scalable growth 6
How IBM BigInsights extends Hadoop capabiltity Delivering enterprise-ready software Risk Exposure Failure Analysis Text Processing Advanced Analytics Log Analytics Performance & Availability Extreme storage capacity Security Hardened Architecture Climate modelling Scientific Research Management Disciplines Developer Value InfoSphere BigInsights (Internet Scale Analytics) Traditional / Non-traditional data sources 7

Evolution of the global namespace: GPFS Active File Management (AFM) GPFS GPFS GPFS GPFS GPFS GPFS GPFS introduced concurrent file system access from multiple nodes. Multi-cluster expands the global namespace by connecting multiple sites AFM takes global namespace truly global by automatically managing asynchronous replication of data 1993 2005 2011 15
IBM NWA High level view of Scale-Out NAS Storage (SONAS) Benchmark Performance: 403,326 IOPS single file system (SPECsfs2008.nfs) SONAS Release 1.2 Single File System over 900TB usable 10 Interface Nodes; each with: - Maximum 144 GB of memory - One active 10GbE port 8 Storage Pods; each with: - 2 Storage nodes and 240 drives - Drive type: 15K RPM SAS hard drives - Data Protection: the drives were configured in RAID ranks 16 16
IBM Scale Out Network Attached Storage (SONAS) Enterprise Class Solution for IP-based File System Storage One global repository for application and user files - One huge file system, or up to 256 file systems per SONAS Enterprise solution for all applications, departments and users - Provision and monitor usage by application, file, department or whatever makes sense to the business - Includes ability to report usage and access patterns for chargeback - Capacity managed centrally - Extremely high utilization rates Simplified management of petabytes of storage Independently scalable performance and capacity eliminates trade-offs 17 IBM SONAS Cloud-ready
Concluding Thought: IBM s Value A complete stack for Big Data - Others require multi-vendor solutions Embracing the open source community - Product support and additional offerings - In-field expertise to ensure client success Enterprise-class focus - Performance tested - Administrative and development tooling - Deep integration with information management - software inside and outside IBM - Security and governance - High availability and backup System x and System Storage - Industry leading innovation and technology - Best in class reliability and availability - #1 in customer satisfaction 18
