Data Centers - Striving Within A Narrow Range - Research Report - MCG - May 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) expects to see demand and the changing evolution of supply, facilitated through institutional investment rotation out of offices and into work from home (“WFH”), while the ever-expanding need for data storage as global internet usage expands, with experts predicting 5.3 billion users by 2023. These market factors will be underpinned by technological changes, such as progressing cloud services and edge sites, allowing the industry to see strong expected annual growth of 13% over the next 4 years.
Whilst competitive headwinds remain, represented through the recent second bankruptcy filing of Sungard, which blames “COVID-19 and other macroeconomic trends including delayed customer spending decisions, insourcing and reductions in IT spending, energy inflation and reduction in demand for certain services”, the industry has seen key adjustments, where MCG believes that engineering cost management and technological innovation will be paramount to success.
MCG reports that the more favorable market conditions expected over the next few years, helped by the winding down of pandemic restrictions and a hybrid working environment will be driving market momentum forward. The continuous injection of capital by alternative investment firms, as well as the growing infrastructural investment from cloud service providers and social media companies, whose revenues are expected to grow over 3.6x larger by value in 2026, will likely help propel center provision and innovation. These factors paint a promising picture for the industry players that offset rising input costs and adapt to new technologies.
According to M Capital Group: “Specifically, the long-term cost-saving opportunities available from the rise of remote managing will likely aid value growth for the industry. Through margin optimization and further availability of capital for reinvestment, strong players will maintain their competitive foothold, while weaker players exit the market to balance supply and demand.”

So what’s the bottom line with IBM Spectrum Storage?
First, unlike many alternatives, IBM Spectrum Storage is based on technologies that have been deployed by thousands of clients already. IBM Spectrum Storage is proven in enterprise environments and is ready for use with the most demanding applications. Many clients have already deployed some IBM Spectrum Storage technologies and so have already deployed software-defined storage, perhaps without knowing it. They are ready to take the next step to a more fully software defined infrastructure.
IBM Spectrum Storage offerings are (or will be) available in a variety of deployment models to suit different client situations: as a cloud service, as a pre-packaged appliance, or as a pure software offering. These different deployment models offer unmatched flexibility to deliver the optimum implementation for any client.
IBM Spectrum Storage embraces existing storage infrastrictures to help transform their efficiency and enable support of new applications and new data types. In contrast, many alkternatives focus on new applications while ignoring existing investments resulting in reduced efficiency and more complex operational characteristics.
Unlike “point” solutions focused on particular aspects of sofware defined storage, IBM Spectrum Storage is a comprehensive solution designed to address the full range of client requirements. IBM Spectrum Storage offerngs are desifned to work together and use a common interface, eliminating the need for clients to integrate together incompatible offerings from multiple vendors.
Finally, although software defined storage is a new concept, IBM is the leader having been ranked the #1 provider of software defined storage platforms. This ranbking is further evidence of the proven nature of IBM Spectrum Storage solutions, enabling clients to deploy with confidence.
Data protection and recovery is more challenging than ever, often involving solutions from multiple vendors to meet the requirements of today’s heterogeneous environments. However, a proliferation of data protection products can increase complexity, leading to higher total costs and less confidence in the ability to recover data every time. By taking a more comprehensive approach to protecting data, IBM® Spectrum Protect helps reduce complexity and can reduce backup infrastructure costs by up to 38 percent.1
The solution can also help increase application availability, leading to improved IT service levels.
IBM Spectrum Protect can reduce complexity by offering a single platform for managing backups for virtual and physical machines, and cloud data. The solution provides data protection visibility, control and automation that can benefit the entire IT organization.
For some organizations, data protection costs can remain high because advanced efficiency features are out of reach. Efficiency features can require expert training or purchases of additional hardware appliances or software licenses. IBM Spectrum Protect is different. Advanced efficiency features are built in and ready to use.
Examples include:
Deduplication—Enables deduplication to be performed by backup servers, source machines or any combination; also available with an IBM ProtecTIER® license plan for organizations using IBM hardware-based deduplication.
Incremental “forever” technology—Reduces backup and deduplication workload because less data is sent to the backup server. Together, incremental backups and deduplication can reduce backup space requirements by up to 95 percent.2
What are customers buying?
industry analysts have identified several data protection trends that may explain customers’ buying vision:
Cloud:
More backups are moving to the cloud. The cloud is expected to be a backup destination for 24% of enterprises by 2017, up from 12% today.
Snapshots:
More daily backups are being augmented or replaced with frequent snapshots to reduce recovery time objectives (RTO) and mitigate the risk of data loss. By 2016, 20% of organizations will deploy only snapshots for backup.
Disk backups, tape archives:
Backups to disk are rapidly replacing solutions that backup only to tape. Disk-based remote replication eliminates backup tape handling at the primary facility, and makes tape handling optional for recovery sites, for many workloads.
Archiving to tape is expected to increase by 35% between 2015 and 2018
To create a software defined world, we need to make software that doesn’t need appliances for large backup workload, cloud access, or other services.
Based on workload simulation results and field experience, IBM is raising the maximum recommended daily ingest rate to 80TB or 100TB of new backup data (before data deduplication) per TSM server instance (depending on whether the dedupe is performed on the backup server or client system). This recommendation assumes backups must complete within a typical 8-hour backup window, and use a blend of client and server deduplication.
Spectrum Protect Blueprints on Developer Works:
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/wikis/home?lang=en#!/wiki/Tivoli%20Storage%20Manager/page/NEW%20-%20Tivoli%20Storage%20Manager%20Blueprint%20-%20%20Improve%20the%20time-to-value%20of%20your%20deployments
IBM Spectrum Protect, version 7.1.3 delivers breakthrough data protection that helps our clients reduce backup infrastructure costs by up to 53%, compared to the competition. In this case, we looked at y recent Butterfly assessments, where clients had already deployed EMC Data Domain deduplication appliances to reduce costs. Butterfly assessments found DD customers didn’t reduce their TCO nearly as much as they can with Spectrum Protect.
In a software defined world, who needs more appliances?
Fewer deduplication appliances
Outperforms EMC Data Domain Midsize Enterprise deduplication appliances.1
Fewer backup servers
CommVault Simpana requires up to 15 backup server/media agents for every one IBM Spectrum Protect backup server.2
Symantec Veritas NetBackup requires up to 5 backup/media servers for every one IBM Spectrum Protect backup server.3 Most data requires periodic full backups.
