The Storage Challenge… Reduce Cost, Improve Access, Retain Forever

VARIED DATA ACCESS 80% of data never used after 90 days. 72% state it is harder to find info within their company. 1

DATA DIVERSITY Multi-application/OS data sources stored in many repositories. Only 5% structured. 2

LENGTHY RETENTIONS Severe penalties for data loss with over half of companies requiring 100-year archives.

ENVIRONMENTAL LIMITS Storage consumes ~40% of datacenter power. Growing at 20% CAGR. 3

Drivers for Tiered Storage

Reduce Cost •  Match Data

Value to Storage

•  Actively Manage Data Lifecycle

Customer Financial Products People

Reduce Risk •  Satisfy Legal / Audit

Requirements •  Reduce Compliance risk •  Improve Business

Continuity •  Improve Service Levels

Increase Performance •  Leverage new

technologies without disrupting production environment

•  Remove stale data from production resources

•  Ease upgrades

Is Tiered Storage Relevant for Me?

•  Capacity Growth Assumptions –  100 GB per day created –  3 copies made •  Copy 1 for real time use •  Copy 2 for local redundancy •  Copy 3 for Disaster Recovery

–  Annual Data Growth = 50% (IDC estimates it at 60%)

The Important Role of Tape

•  Economical “green” storage – superior for data at rest

–  Tape consumes 290x less energy than disk over 5 years1

•  Data growth makes disk too costly and too risky – even with deduplication –  Tape is 100,000 time more reliable then disk (bit error rate

1014 vs. 1019) –  Tape requires fewer technology refreshes –  RAID adds more components to fail

•  Tape provides the maximum –  Portability –  Capacity –  Security

•  Performance

Exadata Smart

Flash Cache in Storage

Nodes

Database Smart Flash Cache

Flash Disks in Storage Array

•  Higher latency •  HW RAID/SAN bottlenecks •  Extra DRAM required •  Manual data placement •  Can be used as shared storage or

for mixed workloads

•  InfiniBand: low latency, high throughput

•  Smart cache, or mirrored flash storage

•  Write cache •  Flash cache shared by all cluster

nodes •  Uses F20 flash cards

Flash Use Cases Comparison

•  Lowest latency •  Linear scalability •  DAS flash array or PCIe

card •  Smart cache, read-only •  Node-specific

The Tiered Storage Challenge… •  Siloed –  Each tier managed separately

•  Inefficient –  Multiple resources over-provisioned

•  Complex to manage –  Manual intervention for data movement between tiers –  Numerous storage hardware resources to patch/manage/

maintain
