10. key solutions: consolidating & centralizing storage
how to implement consolidation in 2005
Storage Foundations central management roadmap

11. administrative worlds unite…and diverge
consolidating servers, storage
separate storage management teams
communications pain, stove-piped tools
 administrative tools can’t keep up

12. multi-vendor storage
the good: multiple vendors  effective purchasing strategy
the bad: acquisitions, consolidations, re-organization
the ugly: how many management tools?
 the reality: everyone’s heterogeneous

13. today: standardize on Storage Foundation
TOOLS NEEDED: 1
Storage Foundation HA 13

14. today: centralized SAN management
60% Storage Growth
0% Admin Growth
Recommendation:
Automate routine tasks
INTRODUCTION:
Most customers I talk to see storage growth in the 60-80% range
Most customers I talk to see admin growth in the 0% range
PROBLEM:
Eventually, everyone will be relegated to keeping systems alive
Not developing new applications
RECOMMENDATION:
Automate routine tasks
Provisioning new storage and Managing the SAN
Templates in Storage Foundation
reporting in CC Storage
#1 Tool for managing the SAN: Excel
ADVANCE SLIDE
BENEFIT:
Frees resources to develop new applications
PROOF:
Service provider in maryland used SF and CC Storage
Moved ¾ of their resources to developing new applications
TRANSITION:
We’ve talked a little about keeping data online
Not an easy task
A few years ago, hardware failure was the big focus
Now, it’s changed, Gartner estimates that #1 cause of downtime is for planned maintenance
NOTES
Essentially, this slide is intended to cover two major areas: The automated tasks found in Storage Foundation (especially the new provisioning templates in Storage Foundation 4.0) and CommandCentral Storage. More information on both of these topics can be found below:

18. in summary: consolidating & virtualizing storage
standardize on Storage Foundation
consolidate storage & server management
linking management + virtualization

19. key solutions: implementing tiered storage
how to start in 2005
VERITAS tiered storage roadmap

20. tiered storage utilization is low
mid-range is often more than “good enough”
ATA for backup, and…
 software is the key gap

21. degrees of sophistication: defining & using tiers
defining storage tiers, classifying data
implementing standard tiers
beyond array cost: tiers of protection, DR, availability…
 first volumes, then copies, then multi-tiered data sets
BskyB example
Online protection example (tiers of recoverability)

22. today: multi-tiered snapshots for online protection
Traditional Snapshots
VERITAS Snapshots

INTRODUCTION:
This is how most of the world does snapshots
Only one or maybe two of these copies REALLY need to be on expensive storage
PROBLEM:
On one set of data this doesn’t seem so bad
Compounded over an entire company, can be really bad
Leads to storage hardware resources that are only 30% used
RECOMMENDATION:
Only keep the primary copy on expensive storage
Mirror and snap to low-cost storage devices
BENEFIT:
Hardware resources better utilized
PROOF:
Philadelphia Stock Exchange did exactly this
This is quoted from an article that appeared in Forbes Magazine
Tony is quoted as saying 50-75% better Storage Utilization
Savings of $675,000 a year
TRANSITION:
Before we move on

25. today: multi-tiered file system
80% of data is inactive
Keeping it is too expensive
Archiving it is too drastic
Recommendation:
Move it to another tier
Traditional Solution
VERITAS Solution
INTRODUCTION:
I want to talk frankly about the truth of tiered storage.
Tiered Storage goes by many names, ILM, DLM, Migration, Archiving, etc.
All working on the same problem:
PROBLEM:
80% of data is inactive (analyst and customer reports)
Keeping data on expensive storage is expensive
Sending it off to tape is the only option available today, but it’s too drastic
RECOMMENDATION:
ADVANCE SLIDE
Move to another tier
Not new concept
Few vendors are actually shipping something
VERITAS Unique approach that doesn’t require new technology
Use the file system
Feature called QoSS
BENEFIT:
Critical data on Tier 1 Storage
Less critical data on lower tiers of storage
No change to the way users access those files
PROOF:
Traditional solutions make it difficult to separate critical and stale data outside of a single file system
VRTS uses the a single file system to span multiple volumes
Moves the data around within that file system
In fact, that’s a file system’s Job! Map physical location to logical name, therefore, the FS is the most logical place to do it!
TRANSITION
Tiered storage not just about moving files to different storage devices
Also concerned with larger blocks of data such as mirrors and snapshots
One of the major issues with snapshots is that they require two or three times the storage space
NOTES
Common Questions Regarding QoSS:
Does it work with Windows? Not currently. QoSS requires both a file system and a volume manager. Storage Foundation for Windows does not include a file system at this time. We’re working to try and find alternatives to this situation.
What policies can I use to migrate data? Basically, anything the file system is aware of such as the time it was last accessed, the size of the file, the name of the file, the directory of the file, the owner of the file, etc.
Does it work with databases as well? Certainly. Any file can be migrated. It does not, however, migrate individual cells within a single database file.
Is it done online? Yes, completely online.
Resources for more information:
QoSS Whitepaper (

26. tomorrow: online, multi-tiered databases
Oracle running on a single VxFS instance
File System spans across several physical volumes, each on different tiers of storage
Active blocks migrate to high-performance storage, inactive blocks migrate to low-performance storage
All online, zero administrative intervention
Flexible policy layer for fine-grain control

27. in summary: tiers of storage
tiered storage is possible today
reduces complexity
volumes  copies  files  blocks

28. key solutions: disaster recovery architecture 2.0
DR trends for 2005
VERITAS DR roadmap

29. disaster recovery more applications need to be protected
longer distance requirements
my storage isn’t all Tier 1 anymore…
 a new approach to DR is necessary
