Storage Macro Trends

Consumer Infrastructure

Disruptive Demands

I/O Technologies

• What we DO with data is changing

• What we EXPECT from storage is changing

• Not just volume, but management

• Unstructured > Structured

• Consumer Driven

• Rapid deployment of storage services, I/O Optimized Device Technologies

SDS Definition• SDS is a framework for managing a variety of storage systems in the

data center which traditionally are non-unified.

• It gives the ability to manage those storage assets to meet specific Service Level Agreements (SLA).

• Distributed Storage is the dominant architecture in SDS

SDS is how storage is instantiated in Software Defined Infrastructure

Service driven

Enable the base infrastructure for SDS frameworks and applications

Enable SDI environment that automatically allocates and deploys

Enable Demand driven resource assignment


SDS Benefits

Flexibility

• Ability to install, configure and deploy rapidly• Allows a “pay-as-you-grow” model• Rapid scaling of new resources -Dynamically scales

both capacity and performance• Automation of previsioning and deployment

Manageability

• Centralized management of heterogeneous storage systems

Multi-vendor support/

integration

• Rich and emerging ecosystem including open source options

• Allows “best of breed” solutions for specific storage tiers/pools

New Business

Models

• Enables IT as a Service models• Enables Rapid Deployment of new apps/services• Enhances the ability to monetize Storage

MOORE’S LAW:

100Xper

DECADE

• CPU continues to improve, while disk drive performance remains flat.

• As a result, applications will suffer more and more, unless we rapidly move to FLASH.
