SAN Benefits

High availability and manageability– All servers access same storage– Simplified management– Service for multiple platforms

Application performance– SAN provides a dedicated network– DBMS / transaction processing– Fastest record access

Fast scalability– Hundreds of servers – Hundreds of storage devices– Leverages existing infrastructure– Overcomes distance limitations

Better replication and recovery options

Storage consolidation optimizes TCO

Typical Customer IT Issues

SAN infrastructures provide greatest storage flexibility, wide interoperability, and sophisticated data migration and availability options

Company mergers require data migration and high availability improvements

Centralized SAN-attached storage simplifies data protection, backup, and information recovery

Need better information backup and disaster recovery process

Increase storage utilization and simplify management by pooling storage

Decentralized storage is hard to manage and hard to change

Balance server, storage, and SAN workloads for optimal performanceIncrease applications response time

Consolidate storage and storage management to lower TCO

Costs of information management rising

EMC SAN SolutionIssue


EMC SAN Delivers Business Impact

Problem: poor response time, management difficulties, limited floor space; disaster recovery solution needed

– Large credit card company with over 1 million peak hours transactions per day

– Needed to consolidate and simplify management

– Balancing online and batch workloads

Business impact– I/O response time decreased by 50%– Batch processing time shortened by

30%– Storage footprint reduced by 50%

“Although we were previously a single vendor shop, we were impressed by EMC’s solution because they

took the time to address all of our requirements. The sales team helped us with a TCO model and we were quite impressed when we engaged with local reference accounts. After implementing phase one of the solution we reduced our storage footprint by 50%, peak hour I/O response time decreased by 50% and our batch processing production window shrunk by 30%. Phase two will address DR.”

— VP IT Operations, Credit Card Company

Credit Card Company



Problem: scalability, flexibility, and access

– PeopleSoft and e-mail applications impacted by dynamic nature of large university environment

– Decentralized environment made access to data difficult

Business impact– Centralized solution with single point

of management– Improved quality of service– Increased disk utilization

“EMC offered a complete

solution. The sales team focused on showing us how the whole thing

worked together and demonstrated how we we adjust as required had how we could plan for the future. And, EMC was the only vendor to guarantee the data migration.

— Director of Operations, University

EMC SAN Migration Services Delivers Business Impact

Problem: application implementation– $300 million rollout six revenue-

related applications in an NT environment

– 650 NT servers backing up manually to tape

Business impact– Quantifiable TCO—shared storage,

servers redeployed, TimeFinder shortened backup window

– Replaced JBOD with RAID – Speedier time to market

Automobile Manufacturer

“EMC’s Professional Services delivered a detailed migration plan and timeline which eliminated downtime. Since our downtime costs can top $500,000 per hour, this plan along with EMC’s recommendation to use mirroring was particularly compelling. EMC’s software functionality, service and support delivered a much higher value than our incumbent vendor.”

— IT Director, Automobile Manufacturer


“EMC was the only company to approach us as a business consultant rather than just a vendor. EMC

recommended that we utilize our existing infrastructure and enhance it to meet our goals. As a result we shorted our billing cycle from 14 days for 5 million users to 7 days for 9 million users—an improvement of 290%. EMC also helped us to easily mirror our critical billing and customer care data 61 km over Fibre Channel”

— CIO, Telco Company


Problem: consolidation and disaster recovery

– Telco merger required consolidation of two IT infrastructures

– Reliable SAN infrastructure required to provide uninterrupted service

– Customer care and billing considered financial life line

Business impact– Shortened billing cycle for more

users – Utilized existing infrastructure
