2 Storage over Ethernet : key to the new always-on Internet infrastructure for service providers and enterprise alike Brice Clark Director, Strategic Planning Network Infrastructure Solutions Network Storage Solutions Organization Marketing Director SNIA IP Storage Forum

3 e-appliances! today they are PCs, PDAs, cellular phones and pagers! tomorrow they are anything and everything that can hold a small and increasingly much smaller microchip

4 e-services! any asset that can be turned into a service for delivery over the net to drive profit, create revenue or generate efficiency

5 always on infrastructure! necessary to support millions and millions of transactions and appliances! ushering in the new age internet data center

6 always on infrastructure! the evolution of the network: the e 2 vision! joins the e 2 vision! enabling the new age always on infrastructure with e 2

7 e 2 everywhere 1990 s: the dominant LAN late 1990 s: switched LAN " 1990 s: " late 1990 s: # no protocol related distance limits # 10/100/1000Mbps + 10 Gig in 2002 " today: virtually all traffic begins and/or ends as an Ethernet frame with an IP header today: LANs connect to WANs with routers today: key innovations enable the impossible: eliminate the WAN and build a global LAN " today: " today: telephony (VoIP) remote mass desktops, notebooks, appliances local mass network peripherals internet (IP packet over Telco) local area today s data center fibre channel router servers 56K DSL cable telephony (VoIP)

8 e 2 everywhere telephony (VoIP) internet (IP packet over Telco) 56K DSL cable gigabit is already being deployed in MAN s by new service providers such as Yipes and Telseon the price is about $1000 per 100 Mbps of bandwidth per month -- about 200 times the price/performance of conventional T1/E1 lines!! remote mass desktops, notebooks, appliances network peripherals MAN/WAN MAN/WAN local area today s data center fibre channel (1 (1 &10 &10 GigE) GigE) router servers telephony (VoIP) local mass

9 100% 75% Server 50% Storage 25% 0% Storage is becoming the absolute center of IT Infrastructure; servers are becoming the peripherals. source: IDC Carl Howe Forrester Research relative spending increasing! /server split growing to 75/25 by 2003! growing from 4% to 17% of overall IT spending by 2003 fortune 1000! added 15 terabytes in 1999! increasing to 150 terabytes in 2003 ASP and SSP! massive requirements! doubling every 3 to 4 months

10 business growth, scale, functionality non-proprietary host-managed inefficient economic simple private servers disc s or array s e evolution of SCSI or FC network server centric (direct attach) fibre channel (SCSI, ESCON) servers managed proprietary more efficient complex more scalable shared NAS head files NFS/CIFS servers fc e system blocks network e file servers network workgroup NAS clients array s centric (consolidated, SAN, NAS) increased efficiency and productivity fc e fibre channel SAN servers network dynamic configuration processor utility e-man e unified fabric utility block, file, object, boot non-proprietary managed services very efficient low COO automated highly scalable globally shared network & service centric

11 e 2 everywhere telephony (VoIP) internet (IP packet over Telco) 56K DSL cable the IETF is already well along in creating a new standard called iscsi that will catapult forward as a networking technology for all types of we call it SoE or Storage over Ethernet remote mass desktops, notebooks, appliances network peripherals MAN/WAN MAN/WAN local area over today s data center over (iscsi/toe) (iscsi/toe) fibre channel (1 (1 &10 &10 GigE) GigE) router servers telephony (VoIP) local mass

12 transporting! dark fiber! point-to-point Fibre Channel! DWDM! point-to-point Fibre Channel! FCIP and ifcp! connect existing Fibre Channel SANs over distance! both encapsulate FCP in TCP/IP! iscsi! a new approach to networked leveraging ubiquitous Ethernet and TCP/IP! natively interconnect hosts and devices across a TCP/IP interconnect

13 connecting to networks today block level I/O file level I/O SCSI via FCP and Fibre Channel FC over IP (FCIP) Internet FC Protocol (ifcp) SCSI over TCP/IP (iscsi) Network Attached Storage (NFS, CIFS) Direct Access File System (DAFS) hosts connect to via Fibre Channel (SAN) interconnect FC SANs with an IP network IP fabric: hosts & attached to FC/Ethernet GW hosts directly access via Ethernet & TCP/IP uses a filer uses VI and writes files directly to host memory HP, IBM, EMC, Compaq vendors like CNT, Gadzoox, SAN Valley will likely migrate Nishan HP, IBM, Cisco, others NetApps, Auspex, EMC, SUN, HP, IBM NetApps, Intel company private

14 positioning iscsi a new way of transporting! LAN (Ethernet) and WAN (TCP/IP) compatible! a SAN without a second network technology expanding the market for SANs! new customers that are primarily direct attach today! ready for SANs but not a second network! want to extend to the WAN and Internet

15 iscsi protocol a transport protocol alternative for SCSI that operates over TCP/IP host SCSI command set iscsi TCP IP Ethernet FCP Fibre Channel Parallel Bus device (array, tape) the frame format Ethernet header IP header TCP iscsi header SCSI payload data CRC

19 It s easy for me to upgrade my existing Ethernet to support. I know how to do that and I know it will work. I just don t want another network. Sony America IT Manager customers speak We have three major data centers and using Fibre Channel SANs and gateways to TCP/IP is just too complex. We ve been slow to adopt FC because it hasn t worked well. We think the company that can provide native IP in the next 12 to 18 months will have a tremendous advantage. Bill Telford Proctor and Gamble Director of Worldwide IT Systems

20 Storage is the killer app for Networking Steve DuPlessie Senior Analyst Enterprise Storage Group analysts speak

22 Storage is the killer app for Networking Steve DuPlessie Senior Analyst Enterprise Storage Group analysts speak Do we really need a second local area network (LAN) technology and infrastructure simply to support server- to- device data traffic? We believe (IP ) will supplant Fibre- Channel (FC)-based SANs as the primary conduit for enterprise data traffic in the next five years. Stan Schatt Colin Rankine Giga While the benefits of network remain unmistakable, the cost and complexity of fibre channel have left many exploring the viability of less costly and easier to manage native IP- based SAN solutions.
