Shared traditional Networks Were Not Designed for Storage

Why it matters to you

• IP storage is managed under increasingly strict SLAs similar to the SAN

• Stringent SLAs can’t be guaranteed on a shared traditional network, just because they where not designed for this purpose.

• Multiple workloads, not all alike

• Single failure domain (fate-sharing)

• Network maintenance requires multiple workload owners to coordinate

• Traditional network infrastructure managed box-by-box, complex to make changes

• Every manual task is an opportunity to make a mistake that could impact the storage

Dedicated IP Storage Network Why?

– Predictable Performance – Service level agreements – Contained failure domain – Isolated change control

and span of control – Servers driving 100% of

storage traffic – Automation, ease of

deployment

The Value of “Software” Networking and Storage

• Rely on industry standard hardware

• Reduce CAPEX and OPEX

• Automation via Orchestration

• Move, scale-up and scale-down network resources with the click of a mouse

• Hypervisor & Cloud agnostic

Brocade Vyatta and EMC ScaleIO share a common approach
