Results• Contain costs while meeting SLAs across diverse, heterogeneous

environments• Unified and consistent reporting for internal and external customers • Faster provisioning of new resources for storage estates

Challenge• Data growth rate of 21% annually + additional 30% from new

customers• Complex multivendor environment • Reduce OpEx while meeting SLAs

Taking Cost Out of the BusinessCSC Chooses EMC ViPR SRM and EMC ViPR

“With over 150 petabytes of storage and a growth rate of 21% per year, EMC ViPR SRM and EMC ViPR will allow us to improve storage FTE resources four to five times.”

CHRIS FLAESCHGeneral Manager, Platform Offerings

CSC




Results• Faster performance analysis and issue resolution ensures SLAs are met• Improved capacity planning for more efficient storage utilization• Application based utilization trend justify capacity purchases• Chargeback based on Compute, Network & Storage

Challenge• Multiple tools to analyze performance and capacity trends• Manual, time-consuming reporting across multiple data centers• No of consumption across Business Unit

One Day On-Site Two-Week Turnaround


Centralize ManagementA Simple Way to Manage Heterogeneous Storage

• ViPR Monitoring and Reporting– Capacity reporting for ViPR virtual resources– Discovers physical arrays and available capacity

to support provisioning capacity to ViPR

• ViPR SRM – Enables management of physical infrastructure

under ViPR control & helps associate relationships between physical and software-defined resources

– Tracks use of capacity on physical arrays to support purchasing processes

– Chargeback reporting– Enables SLA management for traditional and

ViPR Software-defined Storage




Results• Saved $44K by moving data warehouse from FC to SATA HDDs• Eliminated 1,000 man-hours per year of manual, inaccurate reporting• Automated capacity utilization and customer chargeback reporting• Reduce time to provision storage by more than 85%

Challenge• Inefficient use of storage resources• Performance resolution too time consuming• Customer reporting manual and outdated• Ineffective capacity utilization

Bridging the Gap to the Third Platformassure360 Chooses EMC to Optimize Storage Infrastructure Resources

“Capacity utilization reports are now automated in minutes. We can see hot spots and where we have capacity to spare; we’re no longer over-buying storage or allocating capacity our customers don’t need. It gives our customers a good feeling of trust knowing that we’re open and transparent.”

PHIL CURTONDirector of Private

Cloud Services


Results• Reduced departmental chargeback reporting from weeks to under an hour• Decreased management report development from four hours to 10 minutes• Customized dashboards now track performance, configuration, and capacity

consumption in real time across entire infrastructure

Solution• VNX


Challenge• Heavily dependent on manual processes for monitoring and

analyzing storage infrastructure • Gathering data and building spreadsheets for year-end

chargeback reporting required weeks of preparation• Inefficient reporting on storage resources bogged down storage

administrators, delaying rollout of new projects

• Ineffective capacity utilization

Local Govt Improves Resource Utilization

TODD RORIEManager of Enterprise

Virtualization and Storage, Metropolitan

Government of Nashville and Davidson County

“One of the things I really like about ViPR SRM is the customizable dashboard. It gives us a single pane of glass to track performance, configuration, and consumption in real time across our entire environment.”

Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County Chooses EMC




Results• Proactive issue identification and resolution ensures SLAs are met• Analyze performance trends in minutes• Automated show back reports to line of business• Storage utilization reporting will save hundreds of thousands per year

Challenge• Data growth rate of 40% annually• Performance analysis too time consuming• Ineffective capacity utilization resulted in overprovisioning

Efficiently Expanding Global OperationsFashion Industry Leader Chooses EMC ViPR SRM

“With EMC’s ViPR SRM, we can see if a particular application is going to overwhelm the storage it’s on and move it to a higher-performance tier on-demand. This helps IT be more agile and efficient in handling data growth as the business expands.”
