Key IT Trends
CachingStorage
Global CloudDelivery
The mobility of the data center, application and device will drive
global cloud implementation & consumption
SSD/Flash will change I/O at every tier of the data center &
drive optimized cloud delivery
Growth of 10GbE will drive
consolidation of IP traffic evolving to convergence of IP & Fibre Channel
delivering simplicity, manageability and
TCO savings
Converged Networking
Disparate data characterized by
increased velocity, variety & volume will be converted into actionable
information, driving profits

The Strategic I/O Survey
August 2012 survey of 1,529 IT staffers across North America and Europe
Explored the state of data center networks and the strategic networking mission of IT departments
Understand the rate of adoption of key networking and IT technologies
Understand the key challenges facing IT managers between now and 2016

Key Findings of Survey
Network I/O Is Strategic
Critical to Data Center Growth
Convergence Is Happening
Source: Emulex IT Survey
Bandwidth Will Grow to 100Gb
said their networks will
operate at 100Gbps by 2016
54%76%believe network I/O is the most critical
potential bottleneck in the data center
believe storage and data networks
will inevitably converge into a single unified
network
78%said growing demand for increased network bandwidth is one of
the most critical issues facing data
centers today

The Drivers for Increased I/O
Server virtualization is the #1 trend driving the need for increased I/O in the data center
69% rating it “very” or “extremely” significant”
45% of classified the convergence of storage and data networks as a “very” or “extremely significant” factor in the need for increased I/O
43% said the same of cloud adoption
BYOD & application transitions to the cloud are driving this trend
30% cited big data as a “very significant” or “extremely significant” catalyst for increased I/O in the data center

Cloud Networking Growth
A majority of respondents (53%) indicated that adoption of the cloud had driven the need for additional network bandwidth in the corporate data center
53% See Cloud Demand
40% indicated that migration to the cloud brought with it a need for at least 25% more network capacity in the data center
40% See Over 25% Growth

converged network is simpler than maintaining
separate storage and data networks
66%say that the “pros” of
consolidating disparate data and storage
networks into a single converged network outweigh the “cons”
47%Say politics or organizational structure is preventing them from moving to a converged network
64%of IT organizations have either moved to a single converged network for data and storage, or have plans to converge
