  6. Enterprise Storage Realities • Enterprise storage growing at 100%/year • System and storage administrators are scarce • Staff growth not keeping pace with storage • Storage management cost is outpacing Storage cost • 4X-10X acquisition costs • Networked storage requires 3X-6X less staff than direct-attached storage Source: Enterprise Storage Group

  7. Network Storage Market Forecast Source IDC $B

  8. Technology Trends • Increasingly ubiquitous: • Processing Power • Doubling every 1.5 years. 100x in a decade • Storage • Doubling every year. 1000x in a decade • Bandwidth (wired and wireless) • Doubling every 9 months. 10,000x in a decade • Networked Storage • Storage becoming an independent resource • Purchased and managed separate from servers • Shared between servers

  9. $ 2000 2005 Storage Demands OutpaceIT Budget Growth “Our storage requirements are doubling each year; our IT budget isn’t.” --- Fortune 1000 Software Company Enterprise Storage Requirements Resource GAP IT Budget

  10. Profit Wedge Revenues R E V E N U E S Operating Expenses SpecificCosts TIME The “Profit Wedge”

  11. VERITAS Opportunity • Leverage dominant position in host-based software into emerging Network Storage market • Network file and block services for Unix and Windows environments • Technology building blocks • VxVM, CVM, VxFS, VCS, VVR, NBU • Exploit current channels • OEM, Master resellers/VARs

  12. Network Storage Needs • Availability • 24x7 data access • Data protection to ensure survivability of data in event of failures or mistakes • Performance that matches application needs • Scalability • Ability to expand performance and capacity in timely fashion • Cost-effective • Simple solutions • Ability to Consolidate resources: Shared access to centralized storage resources • Easy to Manage

  13. Account Profile • Focus on -> Solaris System and Storage Administrators • Customers Profile • Uses Sun Servers and VERITAS solutions • Don’t want to introduce yet another vendor product, eg. NTAP • Don’t want to get lockdown with one storage vendor • Account having growing pains (or want solution that is open and scales) • NetApp customer w/ backup issues? • Want to simplify and efficient grow storage • Existing VERITAS Customer is best • Leverage VxVM, VxFS, VCS, NBU & VVR adoption and knowledge

  14. Independent management and scaling Enables separation of storage system from applications Offloads application servers Higher data availability Separates application services from storage services Highly available storage services – RAID & Failover Shared access Allows data to be shared by heterogeneous systems in a common pool NAS Appliance Benefits

  15. VERITAS ServPoint Benefits Deliver, with partners, cost effective storage appliancesthat are. . . Open, Scalable & Available

  16. Topics What is a NAS Appliance? What are ServPoint Appliance for NAS features?

  17. What Is A NAS Appliance? • A specialized server optimized to provide file service over IP networks • Easy to install • Easy to administer • Serves heterogeneous clients, i.e. UNIX and Windows • Reduced total cost of ownership (TCO)

  18. Server Corporate Network ServPoint Appliance Software Transforms industry-standard platforms into Enterprise-class appliances: Workgroup to Data Center VCS NAS SW GUI/ Manageability Solaris OS VxFS Sun Storage VM NetBackup ServPoint Appliance Software

  19. Files ServPoint Software for NAS Transforms open systems into Network-Attached Storage appliances • Highly available • Highly scalable • Easy to manage • Flexible backup Unix NT W2K Serves Unix & W2K/NT clients LAN Appliance SW VxFS, VxVM, VCS

  20. Advantages • Open • Industry standard servers -- First offering on Sun/Solaris • Open storage – Sun StorEdge • Scalable • Scale performance -- 1 to 64 CPUs • Expand storage capacity – up to 50+ TB • Increase Network bandwidth – add more NIC • Available • RAID 1+0 or 5 • Cluster up to 32 node clusters • Backup with NetBackup or NDMP • Replicate content with VVR • Point-in-time Copy for quick recovery

  21. Appliance Features • Installs typically in 30 minutes • GUI & CLI interfaces • Wizards for easy installation & setup • Manage from anywhere on the network • Detail volume and cluster administration • Point-In-time Copy (PIC) • Storage thresholds • Powerful VxVM and VCS management

  22. Setup Wizard

  23. Point In time Copy (PIC) • On-disk point in time copies of a file system using minimal disk space • Fast restore without an administrator or needing to mount a tape • Allows online backups • Easy to undo changes by going back to a previous PIC • Create PIC’s every few hours • Unlimited number of PIC’s
