Data Infrastructure is in the Midst of Disruption

1985 2000 TODAY CHALLENGES

• Capacity for data growth

• Too many incompatible devices

• New software for every device

• Silos of storage

• Diverse and complex management

Business Continuity/ Disaster Recovery

(BC/DR)Improve availability

of applications and data

Storage Expansion

Keep up with exploding data growth

Storage Refresh

Improve performanceand efficiency while

reducing costs

Slow Applications• 70% experience poor performance with

their most important apps

• 61% have experienced slow applications after server virtualization

Due to Storage• 77% have experienced I/O problems after

server virtualization

• 38% see storage slowing application response

Performance Challenges with Applications


• 76% are either using, implementing or evaluating Flash storage

• But, 16% of companies reported that Flash did not accelerate applications

• Flash is still more expensive than HDD & is wasted for “cold” data

TIME

Frequency of Data Access Declines Over Time

Interest in Flash Storage is Highbut not a Universal Cure for Performance

• 19% of companies have had storage failures cause downtime

• Outages primarily due to human error (61%) and facility problems (58%)

• Customers’ ratings of storage reliability has gone down

• Downtime costs up to $427 per minute

Companies Suffer from Unplanned Downtime

• Data is being kept for longer period

• Storage budgets growing < 3% yearly

STORAGE BUDGETS

GROWING SLOWLY

Data Doubles Every 2 to 4 Years

Data is Growing Much Faster Than Budgets

• 64% have arrays from 3 or more storage vendors• 30% want help managing more storage resources with the same staff• 17% want to simplify managing mixed storage environment & increased storage efficiency

Silos of Data Lead to Wasted Capacityand Management Complexity

• Applications run slow, impacting operations

• Storage I/O can’t keep up

• Downtime is expensive

• Storage has higher RTO than servers

• Budgets are tight, while data is growing quickly

• Storage spending is going to additional capacity

• Silos of storage prevent agility and simplicity

• Storage hardware is not interoperable
