  1. Introducing Storage Capacity Optimization Reduce storage costs with Sentry Software and BCO Bertrand Martin – Sentry Software

  2. Agenda • Overview • Prerequisites • Collected information • Use cases • Provisioning storage • Prevent resource exhaustion • Space • Bandwidth • Optimize • Optimize existing infrastructure with thin provisioning and manage risk • Reclaim unused space • Charge back • Produce reports of consumed storage

  3. BMC Capacity Optimization • Capacity Optimization by BMC Software • Servers • Virtual Servers • Network • Storage • Manage and control costs • Avoid overprovisioning and purchasing excess off-premises capacity • Plan budgets • Optimize to achieve performance goals

  4. Storage Capacity Management with BCO and Sentry • Connectors and Add-ons for BCO • Collect storage/SAN capacity metrics • Views and reports about storage/SAN • Supported platforms • EMC • Clariion • VNX • Symmetrix • VMAX • Hitachi • AMS • HUS • USP • VSP • Dell • Compellent • NetApp • FAS • V-Series

  5. Storage Capacity Management with BCO and Sentry • Connectors and Add-ons for BCO • Collect storage/SAN capacity metrics • Views and reports about storage/SAN • Requires BCO version 9.5 • EMC • EMC SMI-S Agent ETL for BCO • EMC SMI-S Agent • Part of EMC Solutions Enabler • Embedded in Symmetrix Management Console • Proxy • Free • EMC Clariion, VNX, Symmetrix DMX, VMAX • Hitachi • Hitachi Device Manager ETL for BCO • Hitachi Device Manager • Ships with any Hitachi storage system • Proxy • Not free • Hitachi AMS, HUS, USP, USP-V, USP-VM, VSP • Dell Compellent • Dell Compellent Enterprise Manager ETL for BCO • Dell Compellent Enterprise Manager • Management interface for Dell Compellent • Proxy • Free • All Dell Compellent Storage Center systems

  6. Agenda

  7. Overview: Storage System Details

  8. Overview: Storage Pools

  9. Overview: Storage Pool Details

  10. Overview: Volumes (LUNs)

  11. Provision Storage • With BCO for Storage, gain visibility on your storage infrastructure • Vendor-agnostic • Make wiser, faster decisions 67% faster 50% faster with BCO for EMC and Hitachi with BCO for EMC and Hitachi and NetApp

  12. Provisioning Storage, finding the best system • Find the best system • Enough Available Capacity • Enough Bandwidth • Cross vendor

  13. Provisioning Storage, finding the appropriate pool • Find the appropriate pool • Type • Available space • Oversubscription Risk • Protection level

  14. Prevent Resource Exhaustion • Intelligent Planning of Additional Storage • Identify when storage pools will be running out of capacity • Estimate required additional capacity to meet future demand • Find unused disks 0 day 60% Storage Infrastructure Unavailability (Growing Cloud) Less Performance Issues Caused by Storage

  15. Prevent Resource Exhaustion Trending Alert Threshold Alert Threshold Response Time

  16. Optimize: Thin Provisioning +271% Storage Efficiency Ratio Increase

  17. Optimize: Thin Provisioning Additional Storage Purchase Date Thick Provisioning Unmonitored Thin Monitored Thin Capacity Subscribed

  18. Optimize: Thin Provisioning

  19. Optimize: Reclaim Unused Space

  20. Show Back, Charge Back • Build report • Per host • Subscribed Capacity • Consumed Capacity • Pool and storage system type • Bandwidth

  21. Storage Capacity Management with BCO and Sentry
