Fulfilling The Promise of Tiered Storage

o Tiered disk storage has not yet lived up to its promise• Small cost and

performance differential between FC and SATA disk

• TCO is very closeo SSD gives extreme

performance at high cost

o Cloud storage gives massive capacity at low cost

Storage Delivery Network Economics

o Just-in-Time Provisioning• Plan/buy for usage and not for peak capacity

o Fully Managed Storage• Managed GB = Power, space, cabling, racks, monitoring,

software, hardware, migration to new media… all included

o Enterprise Purchasing and Pricing Model• Flat, bundled price starts at $0.25/GB/month, $3K/TB/year• Enterprise sales, engineering, and support staff• Consulting and strategy available
