  2. Agenda • Joint sales opportunity • Customer environment and challenges • SQL Server Fast Track Data Warehouse program • EMC and Cisco joint offering • Value proposition and differentiation • Identifying opportunities • Engagement model and sales contacts • Ordering and fulfillment • Competition • Call to action

  3. Joint Sales Opportunity • Microsoft data warehousing = huge sales opportunity • $2.1B addressable market for Cisco UCS • $2.6B storage opportunity * - most of this is EMC VNX opportunity • Microsoft SQL Server is a big player in data warehousing and they are investing to grow share • EMC-Cisco have developed Fast Track Solutions to … • Help you identify new DW opportunities and win in this large market • Simplify customer deployment with pre-tested, validated solutions • Help start new sales conversations with Cisco, EMC and Microsoft * IDC, 2011

  4. What is a Data Warehouse? A Data Warehouse organizes historical data from multiple sources into functional areas - such as accounting, manufacturing and HR - enabling key lines of business and executives to make decisions Business Value Delivers timely and trustworthy intelligence on a variety of business activities and processes to help executives make better decisions

  5. Data Warehouse Customer Challenges Approximate data volume managed by data warehouse • Increased data volumes • Need to reduce costs • Increased adoption of DW appliances • Demand for flexibility and mixed workloads • Desire for real-time analytics • Growing importance of data quality Today In 3 Years 21% Less than 500 GB 5% 20% 500 GB – 1 TB 12% 21% 1 – 3 TB 18% 19% 3 – 10 TB 25% 17% More than 10 TB 34% 2% Don’t Know 6% Source: TDWI Report – Next Generation DW

  6. Data Warehouse Customer Challenges • Increased data volumes • Need to reduce costs • Increased adoption of DW appliances • Demand for flexibility and mixed workloads • Desire for real-time analytics • Growing importance of data quality Effect of current recession on DW teams and projects Budget reduced 57% Hiring frozen 41% Approved projects on hold 30% Priorities shift to short-term gains 31% No impact so far 27% New tool and platform acquisitions frozen 25% Some team members laid off 19% Focus shifted from new dev to admin of old solutions 18% Other 3% Source: TDWI Report – Next Generation DW

  7. SQL Server Fast Track Data Warehouse Reference Architectures to help customers accelerate their DW deployments • A method for designing a cost-effective, balanced system for Data Warehouse workloads • Reference configurations developed in conjunction with hardware partners • Best practices for data layout, loading and management

  8. EMC-Cisco SQL Server Fast Track Joint Offerings Reference Architectures to help customers accelerate their DW deployments • Mid Size Enterprise Fast Track Configuration • Target Data Warehouse size: 12 – 24 TB • Solution components: • - Cisco UCS C250 M2 Rack Mount Server (2 processors) • - EMC VNX 5300 Storage System with 75 SAS disk drives • Large Enterprise Fast Track Configuration • Target Data Warehouse size: 24 – 48 TB • Solution components: • - Cisco UCS C460 M1 Rack Mount Server (4 processors) • - Two EMC VNX 5300 Storage Systems (each with 75 SAS disk drives) • Upsell Cisco networking, EMC BRS products and DR

  9. Value proposition Reduced Risk Accelerated Time to Value • Validated by Microsoft, Cisco and EMC; reduces risk of overspending • Cisco UCS integrates compute, storage, network for balanced performance • Known performance and scalability • Reduced design, deployment time • Cisco UCS automates configuration and provisioning of server, network, storage Low TCO High Scale and Performance • Pre-tested and validated configuration • Shorter deployment through Cisco UCS integration of compute, storage, network • VNX high density footprint and price-performance value • Proven scalability to 48TB • Best of breed - UCS ideal for large memory-intensive workloads • High-bandwidth EMC VNX ideal for DW

  10. High memory density = more workspace in a single server for data warehouse workloads Integration of compute, storage, and network = simplified deployment and management Automated server configuration process = faster time to benefit Unified network fabric converging LAN and SAN = fewer interface cards, cables, and switches Fewer cables, interface cards, physical servers = lower energy costs and less floor space Cisco UCS – DW Value Proposition

  11. VNX Hardware – Ideal for DW Environments • High density drive shelves and racks • Shelves: 25 Drives, 2U Where floor space is a premium VNX is footprint efficient • High bandwidth (Coming this quarter!) • Adds an additional 6Gb/s four lane SAS Ideal for Data warehousing/BI 3X THE CAPACITY 2X THE BANDWIDTH

  12. Target Customer Contacts and Challenges • Infrastructure teams • Challenges • No time to plan – reacting to data and user growth • Implementation issues – delayed or expensive DW projects • Performance issues and difficulty with root causes • Data center constraints – floor space, power and cooling • Business service levels difficult to meet Business Decision-Makers Challenges • Executives need better information to make business decisions • Data needs to be accurate and up-to-date • Demand for analytics to assess new business opportunities is escalating • BI projects can be expensive and risky • BI applications are often hard to implement and use

  25. Microsoft SQL Server is not just a relational database. It is a comprehensive, integrated data platform which contains a complete set of tools that help people derive value from information. What is Microsoft SQL Server?

  34. Data Warehouse versus OLTP • Database Goal • - Designed for analyticaloperations • Strategic focus • - Optimized for bulk load and large, complex, unpredictable queries • - Fewer concurrent users relative to OLTP • Database Goal • - Designed for operationalrequirements • Tactical focus • - Optimized for transactions: “single row” entry and retrieval • - Thousands of concurrent users

  35. Data Warehouse versus OLTP • Storage Goal • - Primary focus on sequential read operations • - Optimized for disk scan over seek operations • - Storage optimization focused on disk scan rate (MB/s) • Storage Goal • - Emphasis on transactional (random) performance • - Optimized for disk seek over scan operations • - Storage optimization focused on I/O operations/s (IOPs)

  36. Customer Data Warehouses Challenges • Attempt to utilize pre-existing environment • *ADD* Data Warehouse work onto existing production infrastructure • Resource intensive for customer to design configuration • Low success factor and poor ROI

  37. Customer Challenge • Server/Storage design balance can be complex for customers to design … and get right! • - Server can consume 12 GB/sec of IO, but the SAN can only deliver 2 GB/sec • Even when the SAN is dedicated to the SQL Data Warehouse, which it often isn’t • - SAN can deliver 16 GB/sec, but the server can only process 2 Gb/sec • Queries are slow • - Despite significant investment in both Server and Storage Result: significant investment, not delivering performance

  38. Fast Track Solution: Balanced System Design • Design a server /connectivity/storage configuration that optimizes storage I/O capability with SQL Server data processing capacity • Avoid the performance challenge of shared systems • Avoid over-investment in disk drives by optimizing storage for workload attributes and server I/O consumption capability • Allow customer personnel to focus on primary role • - Not designing a server/storage configuration

  39.

  40. What is SQL Server Fast Track Data Warehouse? • A Solutionto help customers and partners accelerate their data warehouse deployments • A Methodfor designing a cost-effective, balanced system for Data Warehouse workloads • Reference hardware Configurationsdeveloped in conjunction with hardware partners using this method • Best practices for data layout, loading and management

  41. Evolution of Microsoft SQL Server Fast Track Data Warehouse Solutions • Cisco/EMC produced medium and large solution with UCS and VNX 5300 • 12 – 24 TB solution • 24 – 48TB solution V.420xx V.32010 V.22009 • EMC produced two configurations with EMC CLARiiON AX-4 storage system design • 4 – 8 TB solution • 12 – 24 TB solution Cisco/EMC plan additional solutions

  42. SQL Server Fast Track Data WarehouseIt’s all about optimized high performance • SQL Server Fast Track targets traditional data warehousing scenario • Large scans, large fact tables • Writes for history, not operations • Minimal change overtime • SQL Server Fast Track provides high levels of I/O throughput • - Scan intensive, disk scan performance as the key priority • - No indexes and storing data sequentially will provide the fastest disk throughput rates • - Index-lite (few indexes or even no index) is faster because there is less disk head movement
