IBM Storage is About the Smart Movement and Management of Information IBM Storage Grows Capacity Without Complexity IBM Smarter Planet Vision The world is flatter and smaller. Now it s becoming smarter. The world is generating 15 petabytes of data daily. Information is doubling every 18 months. Storage capacity is growing 45% yr. 80% of new data growth is unstructured content. How do I create an infrastructure that drives down cost, protects information, and delivers new intelligence to enable smarter business decisions? 2

Inescapable Data Growth Implications for our clients Inescapable Data Growth IDC predicts 500% over next 4 years Gartner predicts 650% over next 5 years Inescapable financial motivation for our clients CAPEX budgets won t grow like this to buy capacity OPEX budgets won t grow like this to manage the capacity Inescapable technology adoption Clients must be more efficient in data storage De-duplication, Compression, Thin Provisioning, Automated Tiering, Archiving Clients must stop copying and transmitting backup copies everywhere Snapshot, Replication Clients must make their people more efficient 3 Automation, Integration

Scalability: Customer case study One of the Largest Financial Institutions in the United States Business challenge: The Bank s storage scale is measured in petabytes. Storage capacity is leased from multiple vendors to introduce competition and reduce capital costs. However, technology turns and leases end meaning new storage must be leased and data must be migrated. The disruptive nature of migrating data between traditional arrays often resulted in the Bank having to extend leases month-to-month incurring significant cost. Solution: Virtualization with IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller. With over 2PB of tiered Fibre Channel and SATA storage now virtualized, the Bank can transparently migrate data from old technology to new arrays, meeting lease termination dates and saving significant cost in lease extensions. Because migration is transparent, application uptime is also enhanced. Because virtualization is heterogeneous, the Bank can further leverage its multi-supplier strategy to keep costs down for its virtualized IBM XIV, and EMC DMX and CLARiiON storage. Benefits: 19 Reduction in lease extension costs Tested 30% increase in storage utilization Improved application uptime Solution components: IBM SAN Volume Controller FlashCopy Global Mirror Thin provisioning Transparent data migration IBM XIV Storage System
