HP’s Enterprise Storage Vision

HP's Enterprise Storage Vision aims to provide a utility-like storage solution for the age of E-Services. It offers 24x365 availability, infinite scalability, and self-management capabilities, while ensuring safe data storage. It addresses the issues of high management costs, backup/restore inefficiencies, overburdened LANs, and server-specific storage inefficiencies. With its SAN architecture, centralized storage management, and support for heterogeneous servers, it provides device-level control, device-independent tools, and integrated applications for capacity, performance, and availability management. It supports multi-vendor infrastructure and offers efficient, flexible, and re-useable storage resources, with assured security and availability of customer data. HP's Enterprise Storage Vision enables shared data among business processes and allows for the insertion of new technology without downtime.

  6. Management cost of distributed storage is too high Backup / restore is cumbersome and inefficient LAN is overburdened with storage demands Storage management tools are storage and/or server dependent and require specialized training Server specific storage not efficiently utilized Adding or reconfiguring disk is too complex and requires server downtime Non-existent or inconsistent tools for capacity, performance, and availability management Data Center Storage Issues

  7. SAN Architecture Support for Heterogeneous Servers Disaster Recovery Centralized storage management • Device-level control through common Web-based GUI’s • Device independent tools for capacity, performance and availability planning • Integrated applications for SAN-wide data management • Supports major backup applications • Links to data center managers Multi-vendor FC infrastructure SAN Service and Implementation Services Multi-vendor on-line storage devices Multi-vendor off-line storage devices • Supports legacy storage • Self-managing technologies • Choice of tape technologies

  8. Efficient, flexible and re-useable infrastructure Choice of distributed computing storage resourcesfor cost management Assured security and availability of customer data Standardized processes / procedures for storage management through common software across storage devices Enable shared data among business processes Ability to insert new technology without downtime Benefits of SANs

  9. 1 Choiceof storage device and server vendor Commitment to Open Storage & Open SAN... 3 2 Easiest evolution to intelligent SANs Simplest-to-useself-managing technologies HP Enterprise Storage Strategies

  10. EMC ESN (Symmetrix only) IBM Seascape (IBM only) SUN ISN (StorEdge only) Compaq ENSA(StorageWorks only) HP Equation (HP SureStore E & Symmetrix & STK Silos) Dell SAN (PowerVault only) None Strategy #1 Choice in storage device vendors... Storage device vendor choice within storage architecture NO CHOICE CHOICE Tested and integratedinto HP’s SAN CHOICE Server vendor choice within storage architecture NO CHOICE Avoiding storage device vendor lock-in is becoming important

  11. HP is committed to delivering solutions that simplify the management and operation of storage assets With these technologies, such as AutoRAID now and future technology enhancements to SureStore E Storage Node Manager, customers can: Strategy #2 Simple-to-use, self-managing technologies… • Staff training time • Storage resource management time • Time sink for IT resources • Total cost of storage ownership Reduce Allows you to focus on your business, not your IT infrastructure

  12. Investment protection for existing SCSI storage (SCSI Bridge) Support for existing FC-AL loops in new FC switched fabrics A comprehensiveapproach to SAN (management, backup, disaster recovery, high-availability online storage and fabric) Choice of cost-effective modular storage or centralized storage Migration services (e.g. HP SureStore E SAN Management Implementation Service) Strategy #3 Easiest evolution to intelligent SANs: Realize the benefits of the HP Equation… at the pace that’s right for your business
