Storage trends

TCO grows > IT Budget is under pressure!

Storage cost is or is becoming a significant part

of IT TCO or even Business Services.

Company's not

doing something

we all do at

home.

Storage growth is outgrowing the decline in

price. 40-60% growth per year.

Greater impact, higher on the agenda!

StorSimple

Flow of

data with automated tiering

SSD Application or File servers

SAS

Automatically moving data to the next tier occurs when tiers are

about 84% full

The least recently

accessed data in

the tier is the first

to move to the next

tier

Use cases that are a great fit

File shares

File servers, NAS, CIFS, NFS

Large archives

Media, engineering, EMR/PACS, logs, legal, construction

Rethink

• What is our high performance data footprint?

• How big is our unstructured data set? • Which of our data is a candidate

(working set vs archief/cold/jic data) for StorSimple?

• How do we keep coping with growth? • Is current storage strategy still the

best?
