Agenda



Storage Economics In a nut shell…

 Storage Economics is
 About saving money on storage: Lower TCO, Faster ROI

 HDS Storage Economics: Virtualization, Tiering, Thin
Provisioning, Search and Active Archiving
 This view focuses on the capacity you buy and get to use, not really
what you do with it

 Storage Economics for File and Content Services: Save money in
five key areas:
 Economics of Consolidation
 Economics of Tiering
 Economics of Efficiency
 Economics of Archiving
 Econ of Backing up less data

Achieving CAPEX Savings

Acquisition Costs  Serve multiple use cases in a single cluster

Stranded Storage

 Support tier 0 to 4 in a single cluster

 Amortize the cost of storage across
Annual Depreciation multiple applications and groups


Achieving OPEX Savings

 Improve efficiency via proactive, automated management of files
Tiered Storage Mgmt and content among storage tiers
 Abstract the details of back end storage for easy
Storage Virtualization management

 Reduce backup and recovery times
 A browsable interface and object versioning enables rapid,

 Archive search for e-Discovery coupled with automated,

policy-based retention and disposition for compliance


Multiple Points of File and Content Efficiencies
One or Many Scenarios “add value”

Scenario 2:
File Tiering
Scenario 1: Scenario 3:
 Dynamic Movement of files
NAS Head Consolidation between TIERs (policy Capacity Efficiencies
 Doing more with Less based)  Reduce the WASTE of
 Reduced POWER  More data on cheaper overhead to manage USED
SATA (change the MIX) capacity
 Reduced RACK SPACE
 Reclaim unused capacity
 Reduced POINTS of

 Measured by IOPS or
THROUGHPUT

Scenario 4: Scenario 5:
The Archive Effect The Backup Effect
 Dynamic Movement of files  By reducing the ACTIVE
between from the NAS to the working set (data on NAS)
ARCHIVE (policy based) we can reduce the amount
 Migrated data requires less disk of backup required
space to store  ARCHIVE is backed up by

Content Services solutions portfolio

Quote from Customer
“At first, we thought that end-to-end virtualization was all we needed to help lower operating
complexity and cost to support our unstructured data demands. But with the help of Hitachi
Data Systems and their intelligent tiered storage paradigm, we would be able to dynamically
tier data from expensive FC disks to less expensive SATA disks, archive static data, and
provide a “backup-less” environment -- which are key elements to a modern storage strategy.
No other vendor can provide this comprehensive approach to improving efficiency and gaining
productivity.”
Executive, Large Oil & Gas Company
