8. “Big Data is getting BIGGER!!!
50%/yr Growth Rate
IT budgets and headcounts can’t keep up
Budget are projected to grow 2-3%/yr*
Disk prices are not declining at this rate
Customers can’t afford to just “put everything on disk”
Data is growing at unprecedented rates. And the responsibility for storing this new data is falling on to corporate IT departments.
Typically what we see at most customers is they are doubling their data every 2 years. This growth rate is putting extreme pressures on their storage environments especially where budgets if growing at all are not growing at a 50% per year…

10. Storage Technologies: Future Projections
Areal Density Trends Will Drive Lower Cost/TB For Each Technology…
This slide shows the areal density trends and projections for the various storage device technologies, disk, tape, flash and optical. This shows the native Gbits per inch2 stored on the media and does not include compression or other software enhancements.
We track the areal density because this is what drives the cost per Gb of the storage device. The cost of the storage device or media remains constant and with each new release more bits are stored on it reducing the cost per Gb.
The red bubbles to right show where we expect the areal density growth to slow down due to the required introduction of new technology or greater difficulty in scaling the current technology.
Disk: has been most recently showing an areal density growth of about 40% per year with the latest introduction of perpendicular recording technology. Today all drives are shipped using perpendicular technology.. Around the year 2011 at about 1Tbit per inch2 new technology will need to be introduced to overcome the super-paramagnetic effects that are now being seen due to the bit size becoming too small. Super-paramagnetic effects are seen as the spontaneous flipping of magnetic grains due to thermal instability, The industry is exploring several methods to overcome this, HAMR (heat assisted magnetic recording), BPM (bit patterned media) and other to be invented yet methods. Due to their complexity these new technologies are not ready yet for disk to stay on the 40% growth rate and we expect it to slow down.
Flash: has been growing its areal density at about the same rate as disk, but by the year 2011 the feature size will reach a size that will cause problems and in addition, the number of electrons per level will reach about 30 for the SLC and 4 electrons for the 3 bits per cell MLC devices. Cleary this posses a problem and new technology will be need to be introduced to continue the growth. The most prosing appears to be Phase Change memory at this time, but just like disk the new technology is not ready yet.
Optical: Media areal densities are shown for Blu-ray technology. This technology is driven by the consumer applications and there are no applications yet requiring capacities beyond 100 GB or 4 layers. In addition it appears to be very difficult to go beyond 4 layers and still have any good yield. The 500 GB goal is what GE and Sony published using their micro-holographic technology. The holographic areal density demonstrated by InPhase is shown, this is for a 300 GB disk. No holographic production products have been shipped and it is doubtful that it will succeed.
Tape: the tape roadmap is visible out to about 10 TB per cartridge (demos have been done at these capacities) beyond that it gets difficult to increase the track density so new technologies will need to be developed.
Tape gets its capacity by having 1000X the recording surface area comparing a 1/2 inch cartridge to a 3 1/2 inch disk.
Source: INSIC roadmap

11. Technology Price/GB Projections
…and Tape’s Advantage Is Accelerating
The cost per GB is based on unit costs of 3 1/2 inch disk drives, NAND Flash chips, tape cartridges and blu-ray media.
The blu-ray media prices in this chart are the US prices but they are less expensive in Japan. Most of the blu-ray writeable and re-writable are sold in Japan.
The Flash prices are assuming the most aggressive areal density growth of 40% per year out to 2015, while the disk is more conservative assuming only a 10% areal density growth after This was done to see if flash can ever beat disk in cost per GB. The answer is no based on this analysis.

Tiered Storage Software
Oracle software to migrate the data across the tiers of storage
Not all data is created equal. As data ages it is not utilized as often and so it makes pure financial sense to offload less accessed data to cheaper storage media and it can improve performance of the overall system when your primary systems are not weighted down by stale data. The alignment of different categories of data to different types of storage media directly reduces cost and effectively manages large volumes of data.
To meet those intensive data demands, tiered storage is a critical approach for storage success. Tiered storage aligns the value of your data assets with the most appropriate storage media in order to reduce cost and effectively manage data throughout it’s lifecycle.

26. Why a Copy on Tape is Critical for Any Backup Architecture A Tape Backup Saved the Day in the Widely Reported Gmail Outage
Users said that their Gmail accounts were suddenly empty of any messages, but Google promised the s were safely backed up to tape. “To protect your information from these unusual bugs, we also back it up to tape.”
"I know what some of you are thinking: how could this happen if we have multiple copies of your data, in multiple data centres? Well, in some rare instances software bugs can affect several copies of the data," Ben Treynor, vice president for engineering, said on the Google blog.
"To protect your information from these unusual bugs, we also back it up to tape. Since the tapes are offline, they’re protected from such software bugs," Treynor explained..”

Reduces operating costs by providing data classification and customer policy-based data movement across tiers of storage
Unlocks the value of previously-untapped archived corporate data by providing rapid access and a consistent view across tiered storage
Supports IT governance and compliance with access logging and WORM support and uses open data format for customer flexibility and long-term access of data
Migrates data to new media transparently to application
Sun’s Storage Archive Manager (or SAM) software is the automated policy engine that allows Sun customers to efficiently use tiered storage archives and make ALL storage tiers part of an active archive.
SAM is a very mature software platform that has sold over 7,000 licenses to enterprise customers worldwide and is widely regarded as the most robust hierarchical storage management software on the market today.
SAM manages archive data placement on the optimum storage media based on user assigned policies and has integrated data protection capabilities, either local or remote, to ensure data availability and to avoid expensive backup software licenses.
SAM runs behind Sun’s clustered file system QFS, which virtualizes the underlying storage and presents a single global namespace to the application.
The benefits? Simplified management, massive scalability and most importantly - the significant cost savings that come from multi-tiered storage.
