Description:
When looking closer at the Data Center, the cost of operations has absorbed a huge portion of the IT budget by up to 70% (includes both support & maintenance) – leaving little budget for more strategic or innovative needs. Enterprises clearly need to reduce the total amount of resources that are focused on operations and maintenance and free up resources to work on more strategic, innovative tasks. This session will also explore how HP's storage solutions bring together hardware, software and services to create next-generation data centers that operate more efficiently. Attendees will also learn: * Why tomorrow’s business will be built on a converged infrastructure that includes storage, servers, networking, power/cooling, and software - and why traditional SAN’s don't address today’s availability and disaster recovery needs. * Way's to rapidly respond to business and customer needs in order to increase customer satisfaction and loyalty. * How to ensure business continuity and protect your resource and data assets against a growing range of security threats.

Problem: Server Virtualization Puts New Requirements on Storage

– Virtual machine sprawl

pushes storage limits:

• Unpredictable VM growth can

cause erratic storage growth

• SANs may bottleneck

performance as they grow in

capacity

– Essential storage features

can be an additional charge

– Some vendors take a one

size fits all approach to

storage

Problem: Traditional SAN’s don't Address Today’s Availability Needs

Can’t Sustain Single Points of

Failure

– Examples

• Hardware RAID (double disk

failure)

• Redundant Components

(system failure)

– If storage is offline,

applications are offline

HA & FT

Savings with VMware VAAI • vStorage API for Array Integration (VAAI)

• Enhance performance, scalability, resource utilization

Hardware Assisted Locking

Lock storage at the block level to increase concurrent operationsMore VMs per LUN with less performance impact

Full Copy

Storage transparently manages large data movements operationsReduces time to deploy VM templates and clones

Block Zero

Offload large, repetitive block-level write operations of zerosReduces time to provision new VMs and VMDKs

Cloning offload to array - 7x faster and 94% less load on ESX host and storage network

Block zero offload to array - 21x faster VM and VMDK provisioning and 92% less load on ESX host and storage network

Hardware Assisted Locking - 6x more VMs per volume up to 50 with less performance impact
