The Problem
Data growth averages around 50% to 100% per year

Growing 8x in 5 years Is your IT budget growing 8X every 5 years?

Ubiquitous accessibility becoming mandatory Mobile workforce, connected devices and an all digital workflow Compliance Traditional storage cant keep up with the growth Expensive, cant scale and is unreliable

NAS SAN Tape

Intense pressure on IT to deliver on-demand enterprise-grade cloud storage

INNOVA IT Solutions www.innova.com.tr

Five Key Storage Technologies to Reduce Storage Cost (According to Gartner)

I.

Storage Resource Management products/tools (SRM)

II. Using commodity disks (x86 based drives) III. Thin provisioning / Storage Virtualization IV. Deduplication V. Archiving (archiving e-mail, database etc.)

What is OpenStorage?
OpenStorage refers to storage systems built with an open architecture, using industry-standard hardware, and state-of-the-art storage software;
o supports any connectivity, any protocol (FC, TCP/IP, combination), and any file system format o the system can be upgraded easily, significantly reducing costs by sidestepping proprietary hardware that only can be sourced from a single vendor

Key Drivers for OpenStorage;

Cutting enterprise storage costs (52%)

More customized storage solutions (30%) No vendor locked-in (18%)

Heterogeneous Block & File Replication: Synchronous or asynchronous replication for easy disaster recovery Integrated Snapshot Search: Perform indexing & Boolean searches from the file system to search for files within snapshots Block-level Mirroring: Setup remote backups and disaster recovery at off-site locations Simplified Disk Management: Manage disks and JBODs using either command line or NexentaStor Management Viewer (NMV). Total Product Safety: Proactive, automated alert mechanisms send alerts when configuration deviates from Golden Image (best configuration) VM Integration: VMware ESX, Citrix Xen, MS Hyper-V End-to-End Data Integrity: No silent data corruption INNOVA IT Solutions HA Cluster Support for multiple virtual IP Addresses Removed requirement for alternate dedicated heartbeat device Auto-Sync New remote replication protocol Multi-destinations now supported Replication status bar Ability to resume Auto-Sync service Change source and destination paths on the fly via set-up Auto- Sync edit paths Integrated Snapshot Search: Perform indexing & Boolean searches from the file system to search for files within snapshots SCSI Target FC Added support for multiple mappings of LUNs www.innova.com.tr

Additional Features
Support of metro cluster or stretch cluster deployments: Real-time failover between active/active clusters in different geographies, up to 30 miles apart Reduce the amount of required storage in VDI deployments: SCSI UNMAP as a client-side feature frees up storage in the back end, in the context of thin provisioning (a 100-to-one reduction in space for VDI when using NexentaStor) Reserve space for future growth: Reserve pool space, ensuring to never run out of space accidentally, allowing for work continuation without disruption. with ZFS Synchronization to multiple destinations: Site-to-site replications across disparate destinations. Improves optimization by supporting CIFS cross-forest (groups of clients) trust Quick replication: Between different data centers asynchronously through the use of a new Layer 5 multi-connection, multi-destination, multi-pathing protocol INNOVA IT Solutions www.innova.com.tr

BeyondRAID: Storage Without Limitations

Problems with Traditional RAID
The complexity of RAID has made it challenging for small businesses and consumers to effectively use the technology. RAID has a high learning curve with many options. There's RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60 along with unfamiliar terminology like striping, mirroring, and parity. Aside from complexity, these are the primary challenges with traditional RAID: o Lock-in RAID levels o Lack of expandability o Debilitated state after a drive failure
