Data Center Complexity Leads to Wasted Resourcesand Reduced Availability
EmailERP WebTransactions
Ever more stringent SLAs
Limited visibility
Inability to track utilization
Limited skilled staff
Out of control storage costs
Inefficient resource silos
Costly human errors
Burdensome change management
Manual processes to “keep things going”
Storage used as a “buffer” to reduce application risk
Increased risk of downtime

Streamline Operations
Optimize Storage
Prevent Downtime
This makes failover operations much simpler and reliable, something that doesn’t take a Ph.D. to execute.
I consider this ‘actionable intelligence’ to prevent problems before they occur.

•Multi-tier Server environment
•Multiple tiers of storage– Replicated or not– Thin or not– Various RAID level– Diverse media types
•Multiple storage vendors
Streamline Operations by reducing Storage Complexity

•You define the set of Storage Services available to your applications– Gold: EMC VMAX, Replicated, Thick
RAID 10 on SSD– Silver: EMC VMAX, Replicated, Thin
RAID 1 on FC– Bronze: HDS AMS, Thin RAID 6 on
SATA
•Automatic identification of devices matching the Storage Services
•Create and manage file systems and host volumes based on Storage Services
•Automatic handling of the underlying SAN complexity
Focus on the Service Level Matter, Not RAID Levels

Optimize Storage by identifying and reclaiming underutilized storage
Sample Reports
Storage Utilization. View storage waste and reallocate based on application needs
License Deployment. Deployment reports based on your environment ensures compliance
Patches. Ensure that the most recent patches are in
deployment

Prevent downtime and instantly detect failures
• Detect failures, recover faster and use less resources.
– Storage Foundation HA relies on OS based events to immediately react to resource failures.
– Removes the need to poll resources and reduces system resource need by up to 95 percent.
• Prevent downtime.
– Non-disruptive testing of HA/DR configurations across physical and virtual
– Coordinated start/stop of application resources simplifying maintenance and recovery in the event of an outage
• Patch and maintain with confidence.
– Simplified patching for existing installations and preparation for new installs
