1 10 Cloud Storage Concepts to Master

2 Cloud hype has given way to a certain amount of confusion, particularly around the terms used to describe the technology itself. This E-Guide defines "cloud washing" and distinguishes popular buzzwords from true cloud offerings. Discover cloud concepts you will need to understand to have conversations with vendors, team members, and upper level management and learn about a new private storage cloud service you can leverage immediately. Popular Cloud Terms So many cloud terms to learn, so little time. If you're an IT pro who will be advocating for cloud storage project funding, or if you just want to get a head start on understanding the technology, these cloud storage definitions will help you gain a solid understanding of the fundamentals. These cloud terms cover everything from service-level agreements (SLAs) to the nuts and bolts of a cloud storage infrastructure, and they can help you sound like a cloud storage professional when talking to team members, your chief information officer and your vendor. 1. What is cloud storage? It's no surprise this term is at the top of our list because analysts and vendors alike are struggling to determine what cloud storage truly is. Cloud storage options are broken into three categories -- public cloud, private cloud and hybrid cloud -- each with its defining factors to help distinguish it from the others. 2. What is a cloud storage SLA? A cloud storage service-level agreement is crucial for any organization looking to move to cloud storage. This contract between a customer and their cloud storage service provider provides guarantees and details the services being offered, such as 99.9% uptime. Page 2 of 6

3 3. What is cloud washing? The chances that you ve been cloud washed are pretty good. It means a vendor has slapped a cloud label onto a product that isn't truly a cloud offering. For tips on how to avoid cloud washing, listen to our expert podcast with ESG senior analyst Terri McClure. 4. What is cloud insurance? This is a risk management approach often included in a cloud service-level agreement. This contractual cloud insurance policy guarantees financial compensation if downtime or failures are made by the service provider. 5. What is a green cloud? Part of the buzz surrounding cloud technology is the opportunity to reduce your organization's data footprint. Research indicates that the potential for green storage benefits exist for organizations switching to cloud storage solutions, including a nearly 40% reduction in data center energy worldwide by What is cloud drive storage? This refers to mounting a cloud storage option so that it simply appears as a drive letter for users in the interface. This allows the server to treat the cloud storage drive as if it were on direct-attached storage (DAS) or a shared storage filer. 7. What is a cloud storage service? Any company that provides cloud storage services is considered a cloud storage service provider. These services can range from those supplied by public cloud storage, such asamazon S3 or Windows Azure, to offerings from private cloud storage companies such as Hitachi, Nasuni or StorSimple. 8. What is a cloud storage gateway? Cloud storage gateways allow users interested in a public cloud solution to form a bridge of sorts between local applications and remote cloud-based storage. This is a necessity in certain cases because legacy applications and public cloud technologies use different protocols, therefore making them incompatible. Be sure to check out the recent in-depth podcast on cloud Page 3 of 6

4 gateways that assistant site editor Rachel Kossman conducted with Gartner research director Gene Ruth. 9. What is cloud file storage? This Internet-based storage option, often called CFS, is billed as a pay-peruse service that's best for unstructured or semi-structured data: documents, s, spreadsheets, presentations and so on. ESG senior analyst Terri McClure shared her views on the benefits and best uses cases of cloud document sharing in a recent SearchCloudStorage.com podcast. 10. What is a cloud storage infrastructure? Simply put, a cloud infrastructure is the software and hardware components needed to meet the requirements of a cloud storage model. These requirements can include virtualization software, servers and operating systems -- yet they differentiate a cloud storage solution from a normal storage solution in that the system must be able to access files remotely through a network. NetApp and Equinix launched a private storage cloud service using NetApp storage hosted by Equinix and connected to the Amazon Web Services public cloud. The NetApp Amazon Web Services allows organizations to build a hybrid or private cloud infrastructure using NetApp storage systems that are connected to Amazon Elastic Compute (EC2), Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) or Amazon Glacier services. Customer data will be stored on NetApp FAS and V-Series storage systems located in separate cages within the Equinix data centers, and the storage uses the AWS Direct Connect to the Amazon cloud. Amazon Web Services (AWS) Direct Connect is a dedicated network connection from a data center or colocation site to AWS. Page 4 of 6

5 "Instead of putting storage in the cloud, you put the storage in a colocation in a NetApp filer," said Greg Adgate, Equinix's general manager of global alliances and partnerships. "[Customers] can create a hybrid cloud, basically using the AWS [public cloud] and [NetApp] private storage." The service allows for a tiered storage setup using different Amazon clouds. For instance, customers can use EC2 for high-performance computing applications while using S3 forcloud-based backup and recovery. They can also do bi-directional data replication from on-premises NetApp virtual appliances to NetApp storage in an AWS Direct Connect Equinix data center. "You can use the public cloud for application computing but store data in a private filer," Adgate said. "Data is in private storage in the public cloud. It is private storage connected to the public cloud for compute." The most common use cases for the NetApp and Amazon EC2 service is disaster recovery, testing and development, and big data analysis. The most common use case for Amazon S3 and Glacier is multi-tier backup to the cloud, according to NetApp product marketing manager Tom Shields. "It's a combination of public cloud with private storage and it's connected onpremises with the public cloud. It's a hybrid cloud. It [is a] connected private infrastructure with public cloud. But you also have the private connection with the public Amazon cloud resources," he said. "This is our way of going to market with Amazon Web Services," Shields added. "We do services with other providers but they have different services. In those cases, they build acloud service on top of NetApp storage." Shields said distributor Avnet is working with resellers to provide small, medium and large pricing model packages. NetApp AWS is available in U.S. Equinix data centers in California and Virginia, as well as others in Singapore, Japan and Australia. Page 5 of 6
