10 Year Data Center Outlook Relentless growth ahead mostly Data Center Dynamics 2010 to 2020 Data 124 times 2010 2020 CPU 103 times 2010 2020 36 times 2010 2020 HDD Density Budget Only Double 2010 2020 9
New FLASH 1 st Data Strategy Hot data on fast FLASH SSDs cold data on dense disks Data Activity Hot high activity Highly active data is stored on FLASH SSDs for fastest response time FLASH SSD As data ages, activity falls, triggering automatic movement to high capacity disk drives for lowest cost High Cap. HDD Movement Trigger Cold low activity Data Age (5 years) 10
Storage has Changed Forever FLASH for Transactions and large HDDs for capacity High Performance Enterprise FLASH Classic 15K HDD trying to do both High Capacity HDD 11
FAST VP Policies Policy ensures storage service levels are met 1 2 3 Highest Available Tier Maximize performance e.g. high-performance OLTP system Auto-Tier Optimize TCO and performance e.g. databases with varied levels of activity among tables, or file systems with varied levels of activity across files Lowest Available Tier Reduce TCO e.g., archived or infrequently accessed data LUN 1 LUN 2 LUN 3 SSD HDD 12
