The Need to Scale, Scale, Scale

The data and information challenge

 The world had 486 exabytes of

data in 2008; doubles every 18
months
 Unstructured data is growing at
10x the rate of structured data
 Management and governance of
data needed for 10, 20, 100
years, forever?
 Managing storage tiers is too
costly to meet application SLAs
 Repurpose data every 4 to 5
years? Repurpose billions,
trillions of objects?
 24 x 7 operation drives up cost
of storage end of life
replacement and migration

 IT costs are increasing due to operational costs not hardware cos

 Aging IT infrastructures create an increasing burden to maintain
 Change becomes increasingly more disruptive as volumes increas
 Lack of data center agility increase business risk and missed
opportunities
 Data center transformation must address operational costs

The Transformation of Servers

 Processor technology is scaling

up
• New Intel architecture

 Virtual servers and hypervisors

• Multiple virtual machines (VMs)
• Multiple VM I/O streams

 Network bandwidth is increasing

• FC 4Gbs going to 8Gbs
• FCoE 10Gbs to 40Gbs to 100Gbs
 Virtual servers are transforming
the data centers: consolidation
of servers with load balancing
and remote recovery

Scale-up storage is required to support virtual server transformation

An Agile IT Infrastructure to Transform the Data Center

 Support non-disruptive operations

and always-on business
 Leverage existing investments
longer
 Reduce operational costs without

added complexity
 Increase storage asset utilization
and efficiency
 React to changing business
requirements through
redeployment
of services

•Introducing 3D Scaling

 Scale Up to meet increasing demands

 Dynamically add processors,
connectivity, capacity in a single unit.
 Scale performance with added resources

 Scale Out to meet multiple demands

 Dynamically combine multiple units into
a single logical system with shared
resources.
 Support the needs of different servers by
prioritizing and provisioning their storage
requirements from a common pool of
storage resources
 Provide safe multitenancy and quality of
service (QoS) for multiple applications
which share the same storage
virtualization or cloud infrastructure

 Scale Deep to extend value

 Dynamically virtualize new and existing
