Lower Cost and Complexity with Azure and StorSimple Hybrid Cloud Solutions

Download to read offline

Organizations today are being forced to do more with less, and the demand for scalable, reliable and secure cloud-based infrastructure and platform services is on the rise. The cloud is here to stay, and for good reason.

StorSimple is a cloud-integrated storage (CiS) product that allows you to store commonly used data on premises and put more infrequently accessed data in Azure. With a hybrid storage appliance, you can seamlessly use Azure storage without worrying about what's on premises and what's in the cloud.

In this webinar, we provided an overview of Azure's technical storage capabilities, and showed how a hybrid storage appliance like StorSimple can supply your organization with massive amounts of capacity and added functionality, all while providing disaster recovery and reducing costs by up to 50%.

  7. 7. What We’re Discussing Today • The storage situation – An overview • What can be done? • The first step
  8. 8. The Storage Situation An Overview
  9. 9. The Current Situation Capacity Time
  10. 10. The Current Situation Capacity Time CapEx, OpEx of traditional storage
  11. 11. The Current Situation Capacity Time CapEx, OpEx of traditional storage Data grows exponentially (50–60% Annually)
  12. 12. Data Set Characteristics Access Unstructured data growing 40% YoY Working data set stays fairly constant Data working set is relatively small Significant amount of inactive data Time
  13. 13. Current Storage Solution Architecture Traditional Storage + Data Protection Architecture Servers Primary Volume Snapshot Disk Array Media Server Disk Backup/ VTL Encryption Appliance Physical Tape Infrastructure Offsite Vault
  14. 14. A Review of the Current Situation Storage Today = Complex & Expensive Data Management Complexity Backup Issues Untested Disaster Recovery Data Growth & Footprint Equipment Sprawl Primary Storage Disk-based Backup Storage Tape Infrastructure & Management Archival Storage Replicated Storage for DR Offsite Facility for Geo-resilience
  15. 15. What can be done? Hybrid Cloud Storage (HCS) Solutions
  16. 16. What if You Can Simplify…
  17. 17. How Microsoft HCS Saves You Money Capacity Time CapEx, OpEx of traditional storage Cloud Storage Local Storage However, most I/O happens to the “Working Set” data
  18. 18. How Microsoft HCS Saves You Money Capacity Time CapEx, OpEx of traditional storage Cloud Storage Local Storage However, most I/O happens to the “Working Set” data Data grows exponentially (50–60% Annually)
  19. 19. How Microsoft HCS Lowers Complexity Storage Tomorrow = Flexible, Powerful and Less Costly Microsoft Azure Primary Storage Disk-based Backup Storage Tape Infrastructure & Management Archival Storage Replicated Storage for DR Offsite Facility for Geo-resilience
  20. 20. Two > Six ? Microsoft Azure Primary Storage Disk-based Backup Storage Tape Infrastructure & Management Archival Storage Replicated Storage for DR Offsite Facility for Geo-resilience Azure + StorSimple = 60–80% Lower TCO
  21. 21. StorSimple Cloud Snapshots and RTO StorSimple Cloud Snapshots speed up RTO by up to 100x RecoveryTime Primary Data Size 1 TB 5 TB 20 TB 50 TB 100 TB 15 Min. 1 Hour 1 Day 7 Days 30 Days 90 Days Regular Cloud Backup with 100 Mbps WAN Link Tape StorSimple Cloud Snapshots with 50 Mbps WAN Link ApplicationRecoveryTimesfrom offsitebackups in caseof a disaster
  22. 22. Why Not Use a Pure Cloud Storage Solution? Integration • HTTP/REST API • Integration with existing backup applications & processes Performance • WAN latency performance impact • WAN bandwidth costs • Traditional WAN optimization does not work with public clouds Security • Data security & compliance risk App HTTPS/REST Microsoft Azure
  23. 23. Fundamental Value of StorSimple App Applications in Physical or Virtual Servers StorSimple Customer Data Center Enterprise SAN storage Inline de-dupe, compression & automatic tiering Automated offsite data protection using cloud snapshots Highly efficient, location independent disaster recovery StorSimple connects Windows, Linux and Hyper-V/VMware servers to Azure Storage in minutes with no application modification
  24. 24. When to Consider HCS Target Use Cases File Share • CIFS • NFS • File servers • NAS SharePoint • Business intelligence • Collaboration • Content & records management Archives • EMR/PACS • Legal • Construction • Media • Engineering • Logs, records VMs • Regional office storage • VM sprawl • VM archives Tier 2 Applications Generic Application Server SharePoint Server Backup to the Cloud File Share Server Virtual Machines Local Storage Backup Archiving Server Regional Office Storage
