- 5. How does CI help address storage challenges? HP Infrastructure operating environment Optimize performance and efficiency - simplify deployment of storage for business applications HP FlexFabric Reduce the cost and complexity of storage networking with a dynamic protocol stack HP Virtual resource pools Maximize utilization, reduce impact of data growth, enable data mobility and resiliency HP Data center smart grid Reduce power footprint and gain management control over ever larger storage systems ©2009 HP Confidential
- 6. Virtual resource pools require a virtualized storage infrastructure …to transform the economics of information Platform Convergence x86-based, scale-out storage to lower costs Storage Virtualization Improve utilization and simplify management Capacity & Power Optimization Lower the impact of explosive data growth Application integration Speed deployment and improve performance
- 7. Lowering the acquisition cost of storage through industry standard economics Platform Convergence • Lower cost with x86 based storage platforms • Leverage HP’s economy of purchasing scale and BladeSystem expertise • Enable scale-out architectures to meet demand • Only HP can converge Server, Storage, and Networking infrastructure Platform Convergence removes the traditional “dedicated” storage infrastructure, and moves the functions to industry standard storage and server hardware coupled with software based data services. 7 10/18/2010
- 8. Improving utilization and simplifying management through virtualization Virtualization • Simplify storage management • Create a single virtual pool of capacity • Virtualize arrays, storage networks, and file serving • Optimize storage for virtual infrastructure Virtualization technologies “abstract the physical” and make heterogeneous and scale out systems less costly to manage. Includes virtualization with hosts, storage systems, and storage networks. 8 10/18/2010
- 9. Lowering the impact and cost of data growth and power consumption Capacity and Power Optimization • Delay capacity purchases until actually needed • Tier storage to minimize cost and meet SLAs • Minimize power consumption and cost • Report and manage power w/ Insight Control Maximizing available resources to lower CapEx and OpEx. Respond to data growth and storage density acceleration by intelligently using capacity and managing power consumption. 9 10/18/2010
- 10. Lowering the impact and cost of data growth and power consumption Application integration • Joint server-storage reference architectures • Application-specific storage management and performance tuning • Integrated server, storage, networking provisioning with HP Orchestration Application specific management and tuning, solution blocks and deployment expertise. Move towards template driven management (i.e. BladeSystem Matrix with Insight Orchestration) for traditional IT and cloud. 10 10/18/2010

- 14. Traditional Array – initiation Legend RAID 5 disk group 1. Adding drives 2. Assign RAID levels to disk groups RAID 1 group 3. Laying out data Stranded capacity Leaving stranded capacity – disk groups can’t access 4. unused capacity from other disk groups and Data capacity must be manually assigned
- 15. Enterprise Virtual Array – initiation 1. EVA automatically creates one disk group – best practice is one or two disk groups per EVA 2. Customer selects the capacity required of Vraid1 or Vraid5 data storage and disk sparing level 3. EVA lays out the data – all Vraid5 and Vraid1 data and spare space is sprinkled across all the drives in the group – EVA format disks on the fly.
- 16. Traditional Array – add capacity R1 SP 1. Add drives 4. Add more drives 2. Configure RAID 1 disk groups 5. Configure more RAID disk groups and spare 3. Lay out RAID 1 data in RAID-1 LUNs 6. Lay out data… start over again
- 17. Enterprise Virtual Array – add capacity 1. Add drives to the array and add drives to disk group 2. LUNs are automatically stretched across new disks & data is re-sprinkled (re- leveled) across all disks.
