Storage - Entering a New Era
Power costs will exceed product costs by CY11
Datacenter utility costs have nearly doubled in the last 4 years source: Report to Congress on Server and Data Energy Efficiency 08/2007
Management costs are rising faster than $/GB decline
Complexity and sheer volume have driven costs up over 25% Y/Y source: IDC 04/2008
Open communities are driving storage advancements
Open Storage community has introduced over 40 projects
Flash technology is driving a new storage eco-system
Flash is the best storage technology for performance and power efficiency

Why Applications Don’t Perform
Waiting for DATA
• Today’s Multi-Core, Multi-Socket application server design are increasingly held back by slow storage
• When requesting data, the
server spends most of it’s time waiting for storage
• Application performance
remain sluggish regardless of the Server CPU horsepower
• The traditional remedy of
adding more expensive DRAM may no longer suffice as data sets double every 2 years

S7000 Series Summary – October 2009
• In the past 9 months:
– Shipped over 41PB and over 2000 systems (last 3 months shipped the equivalent of the previous 6 months)
– More than 350 net new customers through June 2009
– 15,165 Unified Storage Simulator downloads externally
– Continued displacement of competitors :
• NetApp, EMC, Isilon, BlueArc, etc.
“I've been covering storage for 10 years and this is the first time that I have become excited about what Sun is doing in storage. Sun's Unified Storage is the first disruptive technology that I've seen in the storage space in 10 years. This is a NAS product that is much better than anything Net App and EMC offer and is a huge opportunity for Sun...”

Why Applications Don’t Perform
Waiting for DATA – HDDs can't keep up
• Today’s Multi-Core, Multi-Socket application server design are increasingly held back by slow storage
• When requesting data, the server spends most of its time waiting for storage
• Application performance
remains sluggish regardless of the Server CPU horsepower
• The traditional remedy of
adding more DRAM or “short-stroking” HDDs is both
Disk to CPU Discontinuity
Today’s CPU Have Become I/O Starved; HDDs Can't Keep Up
• Moore’s Law (2 x/yr CPUs performance) is out-stripping disk drive rotational speed
• As a result, storage systems are
hopelessly
unbalanced between controller capability and storage pool performance

Enterprise advantage from commodity FLASH
• SSD has three major parts:
> A) Controller > B) DRAM
> C) FLASH bank
• Individual FLASH chips are pooled and address space virtualized by the controller
• Controller also performs
> Wear leveling > CRC
> Bad block mapping
• Controller provides the host interface such as SATA, PATA, SAS or FC
