  1. SSMG SE Interlock 2006 Habanero / Storage Foundation Management Server: A new frontier Yogesh Agrawal, Kevin Coughlin Product Management, SSMG Aglaia Kong, Tom Battle Engineering, SSMG

  2. Storage Foundation Management Server Agenda • Part 1: What is it and why do I care? • Part 2: Customer Validation • Part 3: Overview Current Solutions • Part 4: Unified Storage Mgmt Strategy…. What?

  3. Part 1: What is it? Why do I care?

  4. From the Dictionary: n.pl.ha·ba·ñe·ros • A cultivar of the tropical pepper Capsicum Chinese having small, round, extremely hot green to red fruit. What is Habañero? • Habanero is our centralized management tool for Storage Foundations online products. The Web based user interface displays information that has been collected from the managed hosts and correlated in a central database.

  5. SF Management Server Overview • Centralized Storage Foundation Administration • Exposes and Simplify advanced features • Application, Server, and Storage centric • Multi-Host Administration • Roles-based authentication & security • Backward Compatible with SF 4.x • Heterogeneous • Management Server: Windows, RH Linux and Solaris • Clients: Windows, Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, & AIX • Consolidated Interface • Dashboard and Summary views • Volume Manager, File System, VVR, Editions • Solution Wizards • Logging and Reporting

  6. SF Management Server Core FunctionalityMonitoring/Reporting • Centralized monitoring • Provides for alerts, tasks in progress and log monitoring • Automated responses to alerts via Action Agent • Email, SNMP • Script execution • Reporting • Capacity, inventory • Licensing • Grouping • Create and persist groups

  7. Architecture • Three-tier architecture • Browser Based GUI • Management Server • Client Agents • Complements existing infrastructure • Supports SF 4.x and 5.x

  8. Go to Market Plans • Base Habanero free with initial Data Services • Discovery, Monitoring, Reporting, Management • Maximize foot print • No $$ barrier to base Habanero • Makes SF the easiest host platform to manage • less admins, more servers • Promotes and unlocks customers Storage Foundation investment • Sell more Storage Foundation • Up-Sell • Up-sell additional SF Solutions post 5.0 • Up-sell CCStorage

  9. Part 3: Customer Validation

  10. Customer Validation: Extensive interviews March/Dec 05 • Centralized SF management was well-received by customers • Central management of large VM/FS environments a pain point • Expose and simplify SF functionality • Solution Focused Offering vs. Technology Well Received and Validated • Bring value of SF to front • Initial target data services validated • Data Migration biggest pain customers face today • Centralized DMP Management second • Building a virtual end-to-end team: Breaking down the silos • Spans host administration and storage administration • Visibility into host/array storage allocations

  11. Part 3: Overview of Current Data Services

  12. Solution FocusedProvides a high level abstraction layer for common operations. The initial Habanero release includes the following solutions • Host Migration • Volume Migration • Advanced DMP Management • Centralized Script Management • Dynamic Storage Tiering • Connectivity Service

  13. Part 4: Unified Storage Management.. What?

  14. This separation creates a gap in IT Poor Visibility addressed through Org Change Creation of the Storage Admin, what’s next? • Today - Storage Admin • Used to be two separate groups in IT: Array and Switch Admin • Merged to create better efficiencies, Usually stops at the Host HBA • Today - Host Admin • Takes LUN from HBA and provisions up the storage stack • Trend - Unified Storage Management Model • Visibility and collaboration between Host/Storage Admin is beneficial • Tools are lacking to provide this • Companies responding by creating merged Host/Storage Team • Responsible from Array to Application • Analysts believes that true SRM efficiencies will not be met until • “dedicated storage management teams are fully responsible for storage capacity at the host and array levels”

  15. System Admin • User administration • System monitoring • File system mgmt • Volume mgmt • User administration • System monitoring • File system mgmt. • Volume mgmt. • Array Management • Switch Management • Device status • Backup/restore Storage Admin • Array Management • Switch Management • Backup/restore Storage Management Org IssuesCurrent Limitations & Future Benefits System Admin • End to End Visibility • No More Lost Storage • Decreased Problem Resolution Time = Increase Availability • Single Point of Administration, Reporting, Training • Enable End to End Automation • Lost Storage • Poor problem resolution Finger Pointing • Incomplete End to End Automation • Many tools to master Unified Storage Admin Gartner

  16. Alignment, Transparency, ManagementBusiness  Host  SAN  Array • Business Manager: Senior IT or LOB staff focused on creation and delivery of business services • Technology Administrator: Sys Admins and DBA’s. Focused on host availability and performance management • Storage Manager: Responsible for large Storage Networks, Multi-Domain. Focused on provisioning, availability and performance delivery. • Three functional groups are responsible for managing different aspects of IT – they need alignment CommandCentral Service Service Level DefinitionService Delivery WorkflowService Cost AnalysisService Reporting SF Management Server Centralized VM/FS/DBED/VVR Reporting, ManagementAutomated Services CommandCentral Storage Centralized Storage Ops.Policy-Based ManagementPerf. and Capacity Mgmt.End-to-End Provisioning

  18. The Data Center is Changing…. so are we • Unified Storage Management is getting legs • Most Companies are either consolidating or considering how to consolidate their host and storage teams • Befits are clear: No lost Storage, no finger pointing, better collaboration = increase application availability • Symantec is in a unique position to capitalize here • Need to leverage our host foot print though Storage Foundations • Creating SF Management Server (5.0 RT) • SFMS and CCStorage enable Unified Storage Management • Transparent Host through Storage administration • Allows you to sell a product and a strategy to your customers • HP is trying, they are not even close
