IBM Systems and Technology Group © 2009 IBM Corporation Sales Conference 2 Agenda  IT challenges  Where does Tape fit?  IBM’s position and strategy for tape  Hot topics for tape  IBM Tape product portfolio overview  Competitive view  Review questions

IBM Systems and Technology Group © 2009 IBM Corporation Sales Conference 3 Today’s IT Environment  Massive Data Growth - By 2011, users will install almost 6.5 times the amount of terabytes that they installed in  Daunting Compliance and Data Security Requirements  Significant TCO and Energy Consumption Challenges

IBM Systems and Technology Group © 2009 IBM Corporation Sales Conference 4 TCO and Energy Costs  Long term storage costs must be optimized –Categorize (backup, archive)  Use the most cost effective storage to meet a variety of SLAs  Energy consumption must be controlled –Driven by a combination of forces: Energy Costs Regulations Limits of data center designs Energy scarcity Societal pressures Impact on the environment “Estimate that for every dollar spent on computer hardware, another 50 cents is spent on energy.”* *Source: IDC What is the greatest facilities problem with your primary data center?
