3. IT is transforming to meet the needs of the digital business
Business Imperatives
Drive Growth and New Revenue
Move with Speed and Scale
Reduce Cost of Taking Risks
IT is being asked to help set the business apart in a global, digital, and mobile world. A set of business imperatives are driving new opportunities for IT. While these imperatives aren’t new, the digital revolution has heightened the speed and necessity of these imperatives. Everything must be faster and more transparent.
[BUILD 1] First, in the current macro environment, our customers are saying that driving new revenue and growth is priority #1. For IT, this means their opportunity is to focus on driving transformation initiatives that advance the goals of the business. In fact, the business expects it. To do this, IT is shifting from simply maintaining IT and keeping the lights on to focus on more strategic activities that can help the business drive growth.
[BUILD 2] Second, businesses are changing the speed at which they deliver products and services. They are focused on moving with greater speed and scale to capture new revenue opportunities. For our IT customers, time is critical. Time to market of a new product. Time to value against a business goal. Time to insight with faster access to data that the business can act upon. IT is being asked to pull every lever it can to SPEED innovation and respond faster to the business, all while doing it fewer resources, both budget and people.
[BUILD 3] Third, every business is navigating a rapid pace of change. Change is the new normal. Amidst this change, the risk of doing nothing or not taking risk can often be much more expensive and detrimental to the business. Our customers are shifting from balancing cost and risk, to reducing the cost of taking risks. For IT, the cloud gives them a platform for supporting new ideas and opportunities in ways they never could before.
The cloud has emerged as a way to more effectively meet rapidly changing business needs. Every IT organization is trying to determine how they can move quickly and confidently to a future where the cloud is core to their strategy.

4. The next wave is the biggest
Virtualisation
Engineering
Home Dirs
Database
Public / Private Cloud, IaaS
Next Generation AFAs
Cheap and Deep
Performance and Capacity
Performance at any cost
Number of Applications
First Generation AFAs
Situation: Flash has historically been deployed for performance workloads. The market for this is important but small.
The next generation of flash make it economically feasible to support the less performance sensitive apps which are the bulk of data center applications on Flash.
This includes Virtualization, Home directories, Engineering workloads, IaaS, Tier 2 databases. These workloads have always been a strength of NetApp. It’s where our unified capabilities have the most value.
Archival workloads can still be put cost –effectively on disk but we see that left bar rapidly moving to the left.
Takeaway: The market is going to explode, it is in a NetApp sweet spot, you are perfectly positioned for this.

5. Growing Use Cases for All-Flash
High performance, improved cost dynamics and feature rich solutions, driving flash adoption
2014
Database, Analytics
& Business Apps
Virtual Servers
& Cloud
Virtual Desktops & DAAS
FlexPod
Workload Consolidation, Next-Gen Apps, Enterprise Grade Features
Database, VDI and virtual server workloads continue to dominate all-flash deployments
However several new trends have emerged
There is increasing awareness secondary economic benefits of flash
Reduced energy and floor space requirements due to fewer drives.
Reduced application licensing costs, due to fewer servers
Most enterprises want to move more workloads to flash
As a result we are seeing a lot of next generation apps like Splunk and MongoDB moving to flash
Market requirements are also shifting towards mixed workload consolidation. That is where you have traditional business apps moving to all-flash.

Flash radically changes data center economics
Setup: As flash evolves, the impact on the data center is huge. Often when a transformation technology gains adoption, you can physically see the impact in the data center. You could see that with virtualization as the server footprint shrank as IT consolidated. You will see that with flash to an even greater degree.
It radically changes data center economics:
Let’s compare 1PB of both HDD and the new 15TB drives (384TB with 4:1 efficiencies). The differences are stark.
Let’s start with the footprint. Multiple racks are reduced to a 2U shelf and a controller.
The power usage drops by 11 times (MWH/yr = megawatt hours per year).
Takeaway: The impact is broader than price. It’s going to change the look, design, and cost structure of data centers.
