Introduction to Information Storage
and Management -5
What do individuals/businesses do with the data
they collect?
They turn it into information
Information is the intelligence and knowledge
derived from data
Businesses analyze raw data in order to
identify meaningful trends
For example:
Buying habits and patterns of customers
Health history of patients
Virtuous cycle of information
Information begets information: Information can
create another new information

Data Center Infrastructure 21
When the DBMS receives a request from the
application:
It first searches the server memory; if data is found there,
the operation takes about a millisecond
If not, it uses the operating system to request the data
from the storage array
Dedicated high speed networks transport this request to
the storage array
Intelligent storage arrays can deliver the requested data
within a few milliseconds, and are typically configured to
protect data in the event of drive failures

Data Center management activities include:
Provisioning/Capacity/Resource Planning
resource allocation, proactive planning and provisioning
for anticipated increases in capacity have to be
performed
Monitoring
array performance, data security and availability have to
be continually monitored
Reporting
periodic reporting on performance, capacity utilization,
internal chargeback for cost recovery should be
performed
