  2. Tiered Storage Defined “The use of multiple storage technologies in combination with policies and applications to meet business requirements for data availability” Tape Disk Optical

  3. Tiered Storage Strategy • Define Business Requirements • Access performance • Resource availability and service levels • Identify Storage Classes • Data types and volumes • Access patterns • Establish Storage Policies • Retention periods for data migration • Compliance with archival storage regulations • Select Appropriate Storage Architectures • Optimize data placement on storage hardware

  4. Tiered Storage Strategy 1. Define Business Requirements • Access performance • Resource availability and service levels Immediate access to active data 95% availability for active data 5 minute system failover 30 - 90 minute data restore time 2 minute access to archive data

  5. Tiered Storage Strategy 2. Identify Storage Classes • Data types and volumes • Access patterns Active - 2TB Recently created / modified files Frequent access to most files Backup - 5TB All active data Infrequent access to specific files Archive - 10TB Historic files no longer active Periodic access to random records

  6. Data Lifecycle Requirements Create Modify Archive Active Data Reference Data Requirements Uninterrupted Availability High Performance Read/Write Access Requirements Data Authenticity Extended Data Longevity Rapid Random Read Access Low Total Cost of Ownership Backup and Disaster Recovery Redundant Data Requirements High Media Capacity High Performance Streaming Low Storage Cost per GB

  7. Active 30 days Active - Disaster Recovery 30 days Tiered Storage Strategy 3. Establish Storage Policies • Retention periods for data migration • Compliance with archival storage regulations Backup 90 days Archive 7 years

  8. Active Data 30 Days Online Reference Data 7 Years Backup Data 90 Days Offline Reference Data Storage Retention Periods High Access Performance Low Data Retention Period Long Short

  9. Active Magnetic disk - Fibre channel RAID High cost / GB Active - Disaster Recovery Magnetic disk - SATA RAID Medium cost / GB Tiered Storage Strategy 4. Select Appropriate Storage Architectures • Optimize data placement on storage hardware Backup Magnetic tape - LTO or AIT Low cost / GB Archive Optical - UDO Low Total Cost of Ownership

  10. Active Storage Technology Attributes DAS - Direct Attached Storage • SCSI or SATA RAID • Cost effective, Server attached NAS - Networked Attached Storage • SATA RAID with Linux OS • Cost effective, Simple to integrate SAN - Storage Area Network • Fibre Channel RAID • High performance, Highly flexible
