Simplify and Reduce Complexity!

Traditional approach is to try to cope with storage pains by using multi-tiered storage –Tiered storage management and data classification can be costly and complex –Excessive data movements may create reliability and performance issues –Utilization rates remain low, with limited ability to execute thin provisioning

Imagine prioritizing electricity at home… T1 Tier 2

Tier 3 Laundry Power? Lamp Power? TV Power?

T1 Tier 2 High -endtd system at tid mid-range cost Avoids ILM and HSM overhead Tier 3 – Single storage solution for a mixture of workloads – No need to migrate data from one tier to another – System resources fairly allocated to benefit all applications – Higher Utilization than tiered system No need to classify applications into tiers – Same high-end reliability for all – Top performance available to all applications Interoperable with a rich set of platforms and applications

© 2010 IBM Corporation Real-time Compppp()ression Appliance (RtCA) Real-time Compression reduces information “on the fly” as it is transmitted between application servers and storage devices. IBM Real-time Compression appliances integgyggyrate seamlessly into existing highly available storage configurations without requiring any changes to your current configuration. This allows continued access to data, helps eliminate costly downtime and preserves the inherent availability of the existing storage infrastructure. Reduces NAS utilization by up to 80 percent without performance degradation from existing storage systems. Real-time data compression maintains storage performance and data integrity. Less data stored, accessed and cached means enhanced storage throughput and resource utilization. Overview video . Additional information is available at http://realtimecompression. com/ .
