  3. SYSOP and ICL • ICL customer (Trimetra DY) • ICL is a SYSOP partner • Business dependency on VME • VME Longevity • Cost of Ownership • Ease of integration

  4. SYSOP Strategy • Build on SYSOP Core Competences • Storage Management • Data Centre disciplines • Service Management skills • Training • Increase Capabilities via Partnerships

  5. SYSOP Accreditations

  6. Drivers for Networked Storage • Data Warehouses • Intranets, Extranets, e-commerce • Scalability • Demand for resources • Heterogeneous Systems • Mission critical e-mail • Laptop data

  7. Tape drive or Robot Network Attached Storage Clients Little or no data held locally Local Area Network File IO Servers Little dataheld locally Disc Storage

  8. Disc Storage Storage Area Network Clients Little or no data held locally Local Area Network Servers Little dataheld locally Storage Area Network FABRIC Tape drive or Robot

  9. Comparing SAN and NAS

  10. Advantages of Storage Area Networks • Overcomes SCSI limitations • Eliminates distance limits • LAN-Free Backup • Server-less Backup • Remote Vaulting • Shared storage resource • Centralised management • High Availability “Mainframe” attributes

  11. Disc Storage Storage Area Network Clients Little or no data held locally Local Area Network Servers Little dataheld locally Storage Area Network FABRIC Tape drive or Robot

  12. SAN / NAS issues • Cost of SAN Infrastructure • SAN Standards • Bandwidths • Where does VME fit ? • Management and Consolidation

  13. PADUA • Library Control S/W on NT Server • Industry Standard • Wide portfolio of Libraries for VME • VME/Windows NT/UNIX Sharing • Full Library Functionality: • All Quantum | ATL Libraries • All M4 Data Libraries • Validated StorageTek Libraries

  14. Library Configuration TAPE LIBRARY VME LIBRARIAN SCSI DATA PATH SCSI control path OSLAN CONTROL PATH PADUA

  15. PADUA Control Paths Data paths not shown Legato (Networker) Backup Server Veritas ( NetBackup or Backup Exec ) Backup Server Tape Library control path VME RCS task or LIBRARIAN PADUA

  16. Customer 1 • Requirements • Upgrade Backup Manager to Networker • Centralise Backup • Issues • Retain 9710 • Low budget

  17. Implementation 1 VME Data path to library drives not shown LIBRARIAN Networker Backup Server Network PADUA 9710 Windows NT / Unix / Novell Servers

  18. Customer 2 • Requirements • Strategic Implementation • Investment protected • Test and Evaluate • Phased Implementation • Issues • VME • Budget held outside IT

  19. Disc Storage Implementation 2 NetBackup Backup Server VME LIBRARIAN FABRIC PADUA 9710 t.b.a. for consolidation & serverless backup Windows NT / UnixWare Servers

  20. Customer 3 • Requirements • Centralised backup • Stable VME, growing NT • Data Interchange

  21. Implementation 3 VME Tape Library LIBRARIAN Ethernet 36-track BackupExec Backup Server Ethernet Ethernet PADUA Tape Library Windows NT Servers

  22. SAN Strategy • Phased implementation • Build on what you have • SAN bridges for compatibility • Add SAN fibre, Hubs, Switches • SAN ready storage

  23. Summary • SAN promises huge benefits • SAN or NAS is a Strategic issue • No need for “big bang” • Prioritise - Backup, Consolidation, VME • SYSOP is established in the NT market • SYSOP can offer unique ways forward
