1 IT Transformation and Digitization Key Drivers For Virtualized and Converged Data Centers Richard Villars Vice President, Storage and IT Executive Strategies IDC

2 Agenda Today s Business Imperative: IT Efficiency Making the Right Bets in the Data Center Final Thoughts: Transforming the IT Organization

3 What s So Appealing About Cloud Source: IDC s IT Cloud Services Survey, Q N = 219

4 IT and The Economic Slowdown Changing Customer Demands Boost Operational Efficiency Consolidate, utilize, reuse Boost Responsiveness to Business Provision, organize, secure Watch Capital & Operational Costs Sensitivity to IT migration costs

5 Buisness Realities Are Driving IT Towards Variable Capital Mgmt IT Leasing Software as a Service Cloud Computing Virtualization Managed Services A Broad Desire to Decapitalise IT and the Data Center

6 Server Installed Base: The Evolution From Physical to Virtual Servers 100,000, CAGR 75,000, % 50,000,000 WW Virtual Server IB 25,000,000 WW Server IB 0.6% 0 WW Server Shipments Virtualization Leaves its Mark and Primes the Market for Change Source: IDC Server Virtualization 6.5%

7 Making Virtualized Servers, Storage and Networks Work in Harmony Step 1: Expand Use of Networked Storage Option 1: Enhance networked storage and SAN environments Option 2: Rethink server/storage deployment for highly virtualized data center Step 2: Virtualize Your Networked Storage Efficient replication of VMs, applications, and data Flexible allocation and thin provisioning of tiered storage boost utilization rates easy and non-disruptive data migration in support of tiering cut the cost of future storage system purchases Step 3: Take advantage of converged IT infrastructure Automated provisioning triple the amount of IT resources managed per FTE Intelligent/coordinated Security, Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery cut backup times and reduce spend on backup assets

8 What Is Converged IT Infrastructure Converged IT Infrastructure treats server, storage, and network infrastructure resources as pools, to be assigned as needed to Business Services Converged Infrastructure Maturity Map Phase 1 Integration of traditional hardware functionality (e.g. combining servers, storage, and network in standard bundles or Pods) Phase 2 Tight integration of control, orchestration, and application software with hardware in the Pod Phase 3 Integration of services provisioning and coordinated resource management across Pods and data centers

9 Two Paths to Convergence General Purpose Common pool of IT assets Compute Storage Infrastructure services Dedicated Tuned IT assets for each service Analytics/Database Collaboration New App development

10 Digitization Accelerates Many industries have transformation agendas for the next 5 years Media/entertainment Healthcare (EMR) Mobile services (data services) Legal (ediscovery) Physical Security (IP-based surveillance) Impact on IT Requirements Business centric vs. IT centric Changing functional and environmental requirements

11 File-based Storage Investment Priorities 60% Top Two Priorities 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% Small Businesses Mid Size Businesses Enterprise Disaster recovery for filebased storage assets File server or NAS migration/consolidation Support for server or desktop virtualization Support for rich content applications (video, imaging) Implement a more robust SharePoint infrastructure Source: IDC s Trends in File-based Storage Survey (N = 195)

12 Role Based Storage: Worldwide Enterprise Storage Consumption Model Exabytes Structured data Unstructured data Replicated data Content Depots/Cloud Unstructured and content depots are two fastest growing segments More than half of new terabytes shipped in 2014 consumed by content depots and public clouds Share of traditional replicated data goes down due to increased efficiencies and adoption of public data protection services

13 Evolving Enterprise Datacenters: Migrating To The Virtualized Datacenter Extend Where Possible, Optimize New Extend operational lifetimes Virtualization, de-duplication, convergence Deal with the content and archive problems SharePoint, tiering, file-based storage Convergence In the Datacenter Rack (POD) approach for new deployments More predictable upgrades/migrations SAN/network optimization (10 Gbe) Greater integration of network, systems, and storage administration

14 Physical Servers Ports Shipped (Millions) WW Server Connectivity to Storage SAS/Internal FC/FICON Ethernet (iscsi, NAS, FCoE) 2011 will be a pivotal year for 10 GbE in storage

15 Data Center Build-out & Provisioning Legacy Approach Asset migration is an overlooked cost

16 Datacenter Build-out & Provisioning Classes of Applications Matter The days of the monolithic datacenter are numbered Network Power HVAC Database High Availability SAN Datacenter Central Nervous System Virtual Analytic Content Pool

17 Storage Functions Demanded in the Transformed Data Center

18 Without Converged IT Infrastructure, Can There be a Journey to Private Cloud? Consolidate Virtualize Automate Provision Private Cloud Self Provision Metering & Chargeback Metering & Chargeback Mobility Mobility Mobility Hypervisor Hypervisor Hypervisor Hypervisor

19 The Key to IT Transformation: Rethinking Your IT Organization Information Facilities Build, run, and optimize the stuff in transformed data centers Less about administering individual components and more about ensuring the entire facility is performing optimally Will serve as the primary administrators/monitors of public and private cloud infrastructure relationships Information Services The face of IT when someone wants a new capability Leaders in transition to a more services-orient IT model and evaluators of cloud-based platform and application services. Comprehends the full life cycle of an application/service from idea, to launch, to refresh, to end of life Information Access Ensuring the "right" people securely access information anytime and on any desired device (laptop, smartphone, or smart tablet)
