Simplified Branch Server Management : Simplified Branch Server Management Identity and Access Management Efficient Storage Management


Efficient Storage Management : Efficient Storage Management Storage growth estimates: 60-100% per year Managing storage growth effectively is a challenge Adding more direct attached storage (DAS) increases complexity Networked storage solutions can be complex Few IT professionals are storage experts: 35% of SMBs have moved from DAS to networked storage already 40% of SMBs are considering moving to networked storage Costs of managing storage can be 10x the cost of storage Process of consolidating File Servers/Storage is involving Complex and error prone Potential disruption to end users The Challenges of Storage Today


Efficient Storage Management : Efficient Storage Management Windows Server 2003 R2 Storage Management (FSRM) (SMFS) Capacity Management Policy Management File Screening Quota Management Configuration Management File Server Resource Manager Storage Manager for SANs Disk provisioning Disk management


Efficient Storage Management : Efficient Storage Management Capacity Management Determine existing storage capacity usage across the organization Determine whether usage effectively supports organizational goals Define and implement storage policies Adjust the policies as capacity needs grow and as organization needs change Policy Management No easy way to control the type of data stored on file servers Unwanted content must be identified manually Quota Management User home directories often grow quickly causing servers to run out of space Departmental shares can also grow unexpectedly Administrators are only aware of storage crises when the server is already out of space FSRM: Administrator Challenges


Efficient Storage Management : Efficient Storage Management Capacity Management Identify where storage capacity is used inefficiently Identify mechanisms to prevent future capacity misuse Monitor usage patterns and utilization levels Policy Management Eliminate non-business files and improve storage utilization while reducing management costs Implement policies to restrict unauthorized files in order to limit legal exposure Promote a culture of accountability Quota Management Control the amount of space used for a folder or share and limit its impact on server utilization Monitor disk space usage growth per volume, folder, or share Slow down storage growth FSRM: User Scenarios and Benefits


Efficient Storage Management : Efficient Storage Management Administrator Challenges Small-midsize market want SAN benefits, but Existing tools are complex and expensive Administrators have limited experience with SAN technologies Want basic functionality enabling the administrator to easily share storage among servers User scenarios and benefits Offers basic SAN management functionality, including Device discovery LUN creation Storage allocation Enables Shared storage solutions Clustering SMFS: SAN Management and Provisioning


Efficient Storage Management : Efficient Storage Management Basics Uses Virtual Disk Service (VDS) infrastructure Allows Windows® administrators to perform basic array and LUN management Targets small-scale SANs built from simplified hardware MMC snap-in Functionality Discovery of storage arrays on a Fibre Channel or iSCSI SAN, including storage array properties, such as firmware info Creation, deletion and expansion of storage array LUNs Specification of LUN options, such as RAID levels Allocation of LUNs to specific servers on the SAN Monitor LUNs, including status/health and allocation to servers Using VDS, integrates iSCSI, iSNS, MPIO, HBA API local storage management SMFS: SAN Management and Provisioning


Efficient Storage Management : Efficient Storage Management Key storage technology Leading file system virtualization product – virtualizes file servers and network-attached storage devices Provides logical view to physical storage and unified global namespace Users can connect to share without having to remember server name Translates logical names to physical shares Shares can be moved around without affecting clients – share location is transparent to clients Distributed File System (DFS)


Efficient Storage Management : Efficient Storage Management Key Benefits Simple SAN provisioning File quota management, file screening, and file storage reporting UNIX NFS connectivity Key Enablers Simple SAN Management for the IT Generalist File Server Resource Management Virtual Disk Services (VDS) 1.1 UNIX/Windows interoperability for streamlined cross-platform file server management Hardware Compatibility Tests (HCT) 12.1
