By 2020, the world will have and Tomorrow generated an astonishing 40 zettabytes, or 40 trillion gigabytes, of digital content. IBM® Storwize® Family: Efficiency and “Data is the new natural resource,” says Ginni Rometty, IBM Storage Virtualization Chairman, President and CEO. Enterprises are using insights from analyzed data to drive and develop new strategies, infi ltrate new IBM FlashSystem™ Family: markets, discover new customers—in short, to innovate. Innovation Critical Application requires keeping up with market trends at a sustainable cost: Performance and Reliability effi ciently scaling data with fewer resources, enabling access to data that provides valuable insights and managing critical application data IBM DS8870®: Business with speed and continuity. Continuity and Security IBM XIV®: Scalability and Availability Real-world Problems, IBM Solutions By 2020, the world will have Efficiency, Scale and generated an astonishing Continuity: Case Studies 40 zettabytes, or 40 trillion Critical Application gigabytes, of digital content. Performance and Reliability: Case Studies Lost Data Means Lost Opportunity How Do I Learn More? The proliferation of data generates challenges and opportunities. Further Reading The cost of storing data continues to drop, but not as quickly as the cost of managing that data. Although storage capacity will have grown at a rate of nearly 38 percent between 2011 and 2016, the decline of storage system costs will not exceed 30 percent, according to International Data Corp. (IDC) estimates. Large amounts of useful data are getting lost. Structured data, when properly managed, can create tremendous benefi ts for enterprises, but unstructured data is growing 15 times faster than structured data. Nearly a quarter of the world’s data could be useful if it were tagged Getting Big Value out of Big Data: The Update 3 and analyzed, but only about 3 percent of that potentially useful data Drowning in Data is tagged properly to begin capturing valuable insights. Managing Data for Today Then there’s a more pressing problem: Big Data, the 2.5 quintillion and Tomorrow bytes of fi les, digital video, images, mobile sensor data, log fi les and other unstructured data generated every day. Less than 20 percent of IBM® Storwize® Family: the world’s data is protected adequately—and less than 1 percent of it Efficiency and gets analyzed for strategy and insight. Storage Virtualization In short, storage can be costly when it’s handled ineffi ciently. To serve IBM FlashSystem™ Family: an enterprise well, data must be scaled with fewer resources, Critical Application analyzed effectively for innovation and managed with speed and Performance and Reliability continuity. To meet those challenges, an enterprise needs a storage platform that can expand cost-effectively, and can respond quickly ® IBM DS8870 : Business and doesn’t require additional training. Continuity and Security IBM XIV®: Scalability and Optimized Storage and Higher Performance Availability An enterprise needs a storage platform that can scale to meet the Real-world Problems, demands generated by the exponential growth of incoming data, IBM Solutions while minimizing the budget needed to support it. Many enterprises must confront 2 fundamental questions: How can we manage our Efficiency, Scale and data economically? Do any storage solutions help us optimize Continuity: Case Studies effi ciency and performance without raising our computing costs? Critical Application • Do we need to make long-term strategic investments in a Performance and Reliability: storage solution? Or will shorter, quick-term fi xes be enough? Case Studies This e-book addresses these questions by discussing the benefi ts How Do I Learn More? of 4 IBM storage solutions that can greatly improve the way an enterprise can innovate by managing the data it collects: Further Reading • Storwize® family for storage virtualization and effi ciency • FlashSystem ™ family for critical application performance and reliability • DS8870® for business continuity and security • XIV® for scalability and availability Getting Big Value out of Big Data: The Update 4 Drowning in Data Managing Data for Today and Tomorrow Managing Data for Today and Tomorrow Whether you have business-critical solutions and critical applications or whether you’re using data and analytics, different costs apply to IBM® Storwize® Family: different classes of data. For example, continuous real-time analytics Efficiency and of data streamed from social and mobile platforms bears different Storage Virtualization management costs from those of transactional data. IBM FlashSystem™ Family: To stay competitive, an enterprise relies on its storage solutions to be Critical Application both effi cient and high performing. IBM offers economical solutions Performance and Reliability to the complex challenges of effi cient, optimized, performance- oriented storage with the Storwize family, FlashSystem family, IBM DS8870®: Business DS8870 and XIV.

Further Reading Getting Big Value out of Big Data: The Update 5 ® ® Drowning in Data IBM Storwize Family: Efficiency and Storage Managing Data for Today Virtualization and Tomorrow IBM’s Storwize family, an industry-leading storage system, solves IBM® Storwize® Family: the issues of both effi ciency and storage virtualization. The Storwize Efficiency and family’s tightly integrated technologies help reduce both the storage Storage Virtualization space that data consumes and the physical space its hardware occupies. The Storwize family helps improve performance with its IBM FlashSystem™ Family: ability to analyze and adapt to data-access patterns. It features Critical Application embedded intelligence and analytics. It’s fl exible enough to support Performance and Reliability cloud deployments, and it provides nearly real-time data mirroring IBM DS8870®: Business that supports an effective disaster-recovery plan. Continuity and Security Efficiency IBM XIV®: Scalability and Availability Storwize holds 5 times more data in the same space than traditional disk storage systems and, with just 5 percent additional fl ash Real-world Problems, storage, it generates 3 times the performance. That amounts IBM Solutions to 30 percent lower storage growth and 47 percent less management effort. Efficiency, Scale and Continuity: Case Studies With both storage demands and technology continually advancing, features like snapshots of data, point-in-time copies and remote Critical Application replication for disaster recovery and continuity increase the Performance and Reliability: operational value of this storage platform.
