  1. Your Name Your Title Storage Management Software for Server and Storage Consolidation

  2. xxx Efficiently managing the escalating volume of data required by your enterprise can contribute materially to maximizing the availability, service quality, and cost-effectiveness of your entire IT infrastructure. Only IBM provides comprehensive, proven, and open enterprise-class, storage management solutions today

  3. Integration of People – Process – Information Anywhere, any time, from any device Transactional Processes Information Management Collaboration Application Development, Deployment & Maintenance Open Standards-based Business Objectives and Policies Policy-based Orchestration Provisioning Availability Assurance Optimization Virtualization Engine Distributed Systems Network Servers Storage Storage Software Is a Key Component in an On Demand Operating Environment

  4. Business Driven Service Management Policy Based Orchestration Availability Security Optimization Provisioning Virtualization Software Resources System Resources = Powered by Autonomic Computing Server & Storage Consolidation and IBM's On Demand Operating Environment • Disk and tape subsystems • Highly functional • Scalable • Standards based • SAN and NAS attached • Centralized management • Efficient in large scale • Redeployable • Virtual Storage • Operational efficiency • SAN File Systems • Operational efficiency • Storage Resource Management • Automated provisioning • Policy based management • Standards based at all layers

  5. The Storage Management Challenge… the escalating risk, complexity and cost of storage Trends Problems Initiatives • Business Continuance • Storage Assessments • Server and Storage Consolidation • Lack of accountability for storage consumption • Inability to get detailed insight into storage usage and trends • Manually-intensive storage administration • The average company will grow storage capacity tenfold from 2002 to 2006* • Average utilization of open systems storage is less than 50%* • $4 - $6 is spent on management staff for every $1 spent on storage hardware*

  6. Server & Storage Consolidation • Most large enterprises have begun or plan to implement SANs and storage resource management (SRM) software • > 43% have already or plan to undertake storage consolidation exercises • Expectations are similar • Improved capacity utilization, leading to reduced purchases of capacity • Lower administration costs • Support future growth without adding staff

  7. Server & Storage Consolidation • Decision factors • Performance • Availability • Backup and recovery capability • Service quality benefits • Reduced TCO and ROI Source: International Technology Group, Value Proposition for Enterprise Storage, June 2003.

  8. IT Consolidation – Strategies • Highest yield strategies address multiple rather than single parameters of efficiency • Consolidation • Network integration • Automation • Must also address specialization issues • Skills development • Management practices • Cultural change • Technical challenges Source: International Technology Group, Value Proposition for Enterprise Storage, June 2003.

  9. The Promise of Consolidation Over 90% of respondents in a 2002 Gartner Group survey indicated that they are either considering consolidation (~25%) or actively consolidating (~70%). • Better Service • Availability of applications and data • Response time / performance • Scalability and flexibility • Lower Cost • Software licensing • Utilization of assets • Administration / management The Promise of Consolidation How can Storage Management Software help?
