16. Efficient Storage Management The Challenges of Storage Today • Storage growth estimates: 60-100% per year • Managing storage growth effectively is a challenge • Adding more direct attached storage (DAS) increases complexity • Networked storage solutions can be complex • Few IT professionals are storage experts: • 35% of organizations have moved from DAS to networked storage already • 40% of organizations are considering moving to networked storage • Costs of managing storage can be 10x the cost of storage • Process of consolidating File Servers / Storage is involving • Complex and error prone • Potential disruption to end users

17. Efficient Storage Management Windows Server 2003 R2 Storage Management File Server Resource Manager (FSRM) Capacity Management (Reporting) QuotaManagement (Limiting) Policy Management (Screening) Storage Manager for SANs (SMFS) Configuration Management Disk provisioning Disk management

18. Efficient Storage Management FSRM: User Scenarios and Benefits • Capacity Management • Identify where storage capacity is used inefficiently • Identify mechanisms to prevent future capacity misuse • Monitor usage patterns and utilization levels • Policy Management • Eliminate non-business files and improve storage utilization while reducing management costs • Implement policies to restrict unauthorized files in order to limit legal exposure • Promote a culture of accountability • Quota Management • Control the amount of space used for a folder or share and limit its impact on server utilization • Monitor disk space usage growth per volume, folder, or share • Slow down storage growth

19. Efficient Storage Management SMFS:SAN Management and Provisioning • Administrator Challenges • Small-midsize market want SAN benefits, but • Existing tools are complex and expensive • Administrators have limited experience with SAN technologies • Want basic functionality enabling the administrator to easily share storage among servers • User scenarios and benefits • Offers basic SAN management functionality, including • Device discovery • LUN creation • Storage allocation • Enables • Shared storage solutions • Clustering
