3. A Deluge of Data An Opportunity for CS & MIS Students ? “… The total amount of digital storage worldwide is approaching 1 zettabyte, or 1 million times the contents of the Earth’s largest library. Currently that information is archived on equipment with a mass equivalent to 20 percent of Manhattan. Global data storage is expected to reach 35 zettabytes by 2020 …” The Boston Globe Editorial & Opinion September 7, 2010

5. Storage as a Major Component of IT Spend • Storage is 2nd highest cost in IT • Storage costs are growing 50% per year Storage efficiency is the answer.

6. The Need For Efficiency • Trimmed IT Budgets keep cost containment to topof mind • Data growth represents a large expense and an opportunity to reevaluate Source: IDC

7. A Major Market Transition is Underway • IT responsiveness not meeting business needs • Keep-the-lights-on spending remains high • Strategic IT investments are limited • Aging Dedicated • Architectures • Explosive • Data Growth • Waste, Complexity, • and Inefficiency  Utilization No Data Reduction  Data Copies Huge Waste Data Apps $ Servers Network Storage

8. IT Leaders Are Exploring Alternatives Embrace Service Providers?Delivering new levels of cost efficiency and responsiveness External Dedicated Architectures Build a Private Cloud?Compete on cost and deliver business enablement Internal IT Business as usual is not the winner’s choice

9. The Challenges Facing IT Today Running out of power, cooling, space in the data center Economic pressures requiring IT budgets to do more for less >70% (industry average) of IT budgets are dedicated to “keeping the lights on”, only a minority towards innovation and growth IT increasingly expected to quickly adapt to business changes Need to develop forward-looking skills and IT architecture Continually dealing with numerous vendors for resolution

13. Global Cloud Traffic – the Zettabyte EraCisco Global Cloud Index - 2011 Annual global data center IP traffic will reach 4.8 zettabytes by the end of 2015 Global cloud IP traffic will increase twelvefold over the next five years. Overall Cloud IP traffic will grow at a CAGR of 66 perfect from 2010 – 2015 By 2014, more than 50 percent of all workloads will be processed in the cloud By 2015, one-third of data center traffic will be cloud traffic.

14. Cloud Revenue Projected Revenue Growth from all IT in 2011: $1.6T (5.7%)2 - But cloud is < 2% of the market NOTE: The economic downturn has amplified cloud services adoption due to the cost-cutting mantra of most organizations. 1Byrne, Brian, “Public Cloud Revenue to Rise 21.6% by 2014”, February 8, 2011, http://bit.ly/tBRNWv. 2Gens, Frank, “IDC Top 10 Predictions”, December 2010, IDC #225878, Volume: 1, http://http://bit.ly/v2xkSe.

21. Why Faculty Should Care Storage, the Cloud and Shared Services IT

22. Implications for Academia “Today’s IT landscape is undergoing a major shift as cloud computing and virtualization are becoming the norm. As a result, data management and storage strategies are changing. It’s our job as educators to make sure our students have a knowledge base and understanding of these technologies so that when they graduate, they are prepared to hit the ground running. NetApp has proven to be an innovator and industry leader in enabling shared infrastructures, and working with them really helps me open up new doors for my students and get them ready for the real world.” Professor Xiao Su Department of Computer Engineering, San Jose State University

23. "There seems to be a shortage of skilled technologists who understand cloud; how it applies to their IT organization, who the vendors are, what the architectures are (and so on). Those folks are in short supply because everyone is on a learning curve. I think anyone who can stand up and say 'I'm a certified cloud technologist' is definitely going to be sought after by IT organizations.“ Gene Ruth, Research Director, Gartner

32. Data ONTAP Simulator What is it ? A tool that gives you the experience of administering and using a NetApp storage system with all the features of Data ONTAP at your disposal.

33. Faculty & Student Access to eLearning Library • Learning Accounts • Web-based Courses

34. Student Feedback – WBTs “I definitely gained a better understanding of the role of storage.  Before this class, I had almost no knowledge of storage in today’s enterprise computing.” “It was so much better than the textbook! It made it a lot more interesting with the use of the visual aids and the way the narrator described all the components. By using the web-based course you were able to add life to the lesson and it kept my attention.” “The entire Data ONTAP course was interesting to me, and I’d love to have a chance to play with/use the software in a real world situation someday.” Yes, being able to listen to “Bob” while looking directly at the graphics and examples that relate to the speech is very helpful. The web-based course is more intuitive and interactive than our text book but more importantly than that, the course is up to date.
