Section 1 : Storage System Introduction to Information Storage and Management Chapter 1
Chapter Objectives Upon completion of this chapter, you will be able to: • Describe who is creating data and the amount of data being created • Describe the value of data to business • List the solutions available for data storage • List and explain the core elements of data center • Describe the ILM strategy • Describe storage evolution
Lesson : Information Storage Upon completion of this lesson, you will be able to: • Describe the importance of information to individuals and to businesses • Define data and information • Discuss the categories of data • Describe the storage architectures and their evolution
Why Information Storage • “Digital universe – The Information Explosion” • 21st Century is information era • Information is being created at ever increasing rate • Information has become critical for success • We live in an on-command, on-demand world • Example: Social networking sites, e-mails, video and photo sharing website, online shopping, search engines etc
Nearly a quarter of the world's population – roughly 1.4 billion people – will use the Internet on a regular basis in 2009.
Online Video 4,700,000,000 video streams monthly
England has approximately 4 million surveillance cameras 1 for approximately every 14 Britons
Storage requirements: Facebook 10,000,000,000 photos 2-3 Terabytes of photos are being uploaded to the site every day One petabyte of photo storage Serve over 15 billion photo images per day Photo traffic now peaks at over 300,000 images served per second

Data is converted into more convenient form i.e. Digital Data Increase in data processing capabilities Lower cost of digital storage Affordable and faster communication technology Who creates data? Individuals Businesses Video 01010101010 10101011010 Photo 00010101011 01010101010 10101010101 Book 01010101010 Digital Data Letter What is Data “Collection of raw facts from which conclusions may be drawn”
PDFs E-Mail Attachments X-Rays Unstructured (80%) Check Manuals Instant Messages Images Documents Forms Web Pages Contracts Rich Media Invoices Audio Video Structured (20%) Categories of Data • Data can be categorized as either structured or unstructured data • Over 80% of enterprise information is unstructured Rows and Columns
What do individuals/businesses do with the data they collect? They turn it into “information” “Information is the intelligence and knowledge derived from data” Businesses analyze raw data in order to identify meaningful trends For example: Buying habits and patterns of customers Health history of patients Centralized information storage and processing Network Network Wired Wireless Wireless Wired Uploading Accessing information information Users of Creators of Information information Virtuous cycle of information Demand for more Information Define Information
Value of Information to a Business • Identifying new business opportunities • Buying/spending patterns • Internet stores, retail stores, supermarkets • Customer satisfaction/service • Tracking shipments, and deliveries • Identifying patterns that lead to changes in existing business • Reduced cost • Just-in-time inventory, eliminating over-stocking of products, optimizing shipment and delivery • New services • Security alerts for “stolen” credit card purchases • Targeted marketing campaigns • Communicate to bank customers with high account balances about a special savings plan • Creating a competitive advantage
Storage • Data created by individuals/businesses must be stored for further processing • Type of storage used is based on the type of data and the rate at which it is created and used • Examples: • Individuals: Digital camera, Cell phone, DVD’s, Hard disk • Businesses: Hard disk, external disk arrays, tape library • Storage model: An evolution • Centralized: mainframe computers • Decentralized: Client –server model • Centralized: Storage Networking
