4. The Storage Challenge…
Reduce Cost, Improve Access, Retain Forever
Massive Data Growth
VARIED DATA ACCESS DATA DIVERSITY
Multi-application/OS data
80% of data never used after 90 sources stored in many
days. 72% state it is harder to repositories. Only 5%
find info within their company. 1 structured. 2
LENGTHY RETENTIONS ENVIRONMENTAL LIMITS
Severe penalties for data loss Storage consumes ~40% of
with over half of companies datacenter power. Growing at
requiring 100-year archives. 20% CAGR. 3
Resource Constraints

5. Drivers for Tiered Storage
Financial Customer People Products
Increase Performance Reduce Cost Reduce Risk
• Leverage new • Match Data • Satisfy Legal / Audit
technologies without Value to Requirements
disrupting production Storage • Reduce Compliance risk
environment • Actively • Improve Business
• Remove stale data from Manage Data Continuity
production resources Lifecycle • Improve Service Levels
• Ease upgrades

6. Is Tiered Storage Relevant for Me?
• Capacity Growth Assumptions
– 100 GB per day created
– 3 copies made
• Copy 1 for real time use
• Copy 2 for local redundancy
• Copy 3 for Disaster Recovery
– Annual Data Growth = 50% (IDC estimates it at 60%)

7. The Important Role of Tape
• Economical green storage – superior for data at rest
– Tape consumes 290x less energy than disk over 5 years1
• Data growth makes disk too costly and too risky – even with deduplication
– Tape is 100,000 time more reliable then disk (bit error rate
1014 vs. 1019)
– Tape requires fewer technology refreshes
– RAID adds more components to fail
• Tape provides the maximum
– Portability
– Capacity
– Security
• Performance

8. Flash Use Cases Comparison
Flash Database Exadata
Disks in Smart Smart
Storage Flash Flash Cache
Array Cache in Storage
Nodes
• InfiniBand: low latency, high
• Higher latency • Lowest latency throughput
• HW RAID/SAN bottlenecks • Linear scalability • Smart cache, or mirrored flash
storage
• Extra DRAM required • DAS flash array or PCIe
card • Write cache
• Manual data placement
• Smart cache, read-only • Flash cache shared by all cluster
• Can be used as shared storage or nodes
for mixed workloads • Node-specific
• Uses F20 flash cards

11. The Tiered Storage Challenge…
• Siloed
– Each tier managed separately
• Inefficient
– Multiple resources over-provisioned
• Complex to manage
– Manual intervention for data movement between tiers
– Numerous storage hardware resources to patch/manage/
maintain
AUTOMATED TIERED STORAGE
Dynamically Access Optimal Storage Resources
