  1. The Smart Software Symposium: Storage Management Solutions Richard Vining Product Marketing Manager 3 March 2009

  2. The economic crisis we didn’t predict The reality of living in a globally integrated world is upon us. • Frozen credit markets and limited access to capital. • Economic downturn and future uncertainty. • Energy shortfalls and erratic commodity prices. • Information explosion and risk/opportunity growth. • Slowing superpowers and emerging economies. • Increasingly complex supply chains and empowered consumers. The world is connected: economically, socially and technically.

  3. Economic climate: Impact on IT Source: IDC Worldwide Black Book Q4 2008 (February 2009),Consensus Economics

  4. Only Software and Services are expected to grow And of all the hardware categories, Storage is expected to contract the least -1.0% 3.3% 3.4% Source: IDC Worldwide IT Spending 2008-2012 Forecast Update, February 2009

  5. But, <10% of CIO’s say they will cut Storage PCs Mobile devices VoIP Printers What are you planning to cut? Servers Network Storage 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 Source: IDC’s Futurescan Survey, 2008 (n = 300)

  6. …driving nearly unabated storage capacity growth External Disk Storage Worldwide Petabytes Shipped 2000 – 2012 Sources: IDC, Economic Crisis Update: Worldwide Disk Storage Systems 2008-2012 Forecast Update, Doc # 216074, Jan 2009 IDC Worldwide Disk Storage Systems Quarterly Tracker, Dec 2008

  7. Grappling with data growth in today’s economy Imperatives and Focus Areas for Storage Administrators Productivity • Be more Cost Effective • Be more Capital Efficient • Improve Service • Reduce Risks Power Utilization Scalability Availability Security Recovery Compliance

  8. The Pressures on Storage Admins are Mounting • Data growth • It takes longer to back it up • Higher service level requirements • You can’t afford down time • You can’t afford to lose any data, anywhere • Longer retention periods for more data • Need more capacity; need to manage it • Mergers and acquisitions • Need to integrate systems, processes • Security requirements • Need to protect your customers’ data as well as your own • Remote/branch offices • Creating and storing more business-critical data

  9. Critical Data may not be Well-Protected: Mid-Sized Companies / Branch Offices • Lack of IT resources and processes • Backups are performed by non-IT personnel that have other jobs • They often forget to run the backup, or they do it wrong • If it doesn’t get backed up, it can’t be restored • Tape-based systems have issues (in small offices): • Manual processes • Security risk: tapes get lost/stolen when moved/stored off-site • Recovering lost data from tape is a painful and often impossible task

  10. IT Realities Today Smaller staffs Budget cuts (esp. CAPEX) Project postponement “You do things when opportunities come along.” - Warren Buffet

  11. IBM Service Management for Storage Delivers… Visibility The ability to see everything that’s going onacross the infrastructure Control The ability to keep the infrastructure in itsdesired state by enforcing policies Automation The ability to manage huge and growinginfrastructures while controlling cost and quality.

  12. Techniques that help reduce storage costs

  13. IBM Tivoli Storage Management

  14. Storage Management Solution Overview Data Protection & Unified Recovery Management • Enabling business continuity at all times while aligning recovery costs based on business risk and information value • Offering efficient utilization and automated management of all IT resources • Virtualizing storage for ease of administration, capacity utilization and transparent data migration Storage Resource & Infrastructure Management Information Retention & Lifecycle Management • Retaining information automatically to enable future business leverage, or to comply with internal or external regulations Visibility, Control, and Automation of Storage processes

  15. Key Offerings Data Protection & Recovery Management • Tivoli Storage Manager 6 • IBM’s flagship data protection and recovery – 20,000+ customers • Industry-leading scalability, performance, availability, administration • Leveraging disk and tape to meet recovery and cost objectives • Integrated archiving and data movement and encryption capabilities • Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack • Leading Microsoft Server and Microsoft Exchange recovery • Reduces the amount of data at risk to near zero (improved RPO) • Near-instant virtual recovery of data to reduce downtime • Tivoli Continuous Data Protection for Files • Simple to use laptop/desktop data protection and recovery • Works in the background, automatically; drag-and-drop file-based recovery

  16. Tivoli Storage Manager 6 Announcement: 5 Feb 09 Availability: 27 Mar 09 Addresses our customers’ most challenging issue: cost-effectively containing the tidal wave of data growth.
