1 like3,411 views
Organizations today are being forced to do more with less, and the demand for scalable, reliable and secure cloud-based infrastructure and platform services is on the rise. The cloud is here to stay, and for good reason. StorSimple is a cloud-integrated storage (CiS) product that allows you to store commonly used data on premises and put more infrequently accessed data in Azure. With a hybrid storage appliance, you can seamlessly use Azure storage without worrying about what's on premises and what's in the cloud. In this webinar, we provided an overview of Azure's technical storage capabilities, and showed how a hybrid storage appliance like StorSimple can supply your organization with massive amounts of capacity and added functionality, all while providing disaster recovery and reducing costs by up to 50%.

- 7. What We’re Discussing Today • The storage situation – An overview • What can be done? • The first step
- 8. The Storage Situation An Overview
- 10. The Current Situation Capacity Time CapEx, OpEx of traditional storage
- 11. The Current Situation Capacity Time CapEx, OpEx of traditional storage Data grows exponentially (50–60% Annually)
- 12. Data Set Characteristics Access Unstructured data growing 40% YoY Working data set stays fairly constant Data working set is relatively small Significant amount of inactive data Time
- 13. Current Storage Solution Architecture Traditional Storage + Data Protection Architecture Servers Primary Volume Snapshot Disk Array Media Server Disk Backup/ VTL Encryption Appliance Physical Tape Infrastructure Offsite Vault
- 14. A Review of the Current Situation Storage Today = Complex & Expensive Data Management Complexity Backup Issues Untested Disaster Recovery Data Growth & Footprint Equipment Sprawl Primary Storage Disk-based Backup Storage Tape Infrastructure & Management Archival Storage Replicated Storage for DR Offsite Facility for Geo-resilience
- 15. What can be done? Hybrid Cloud Storage (HCS) Solutions
- 16. What if You Can Simplify…
- 17. How Microsoft HCS Saves You Money Capacity Time CapEx, OpEx of traditional storage Cloud Storage Local Storage However, most I/O happens to the “Working Set” data
- 18. How Microsoft HCS Saves You Money Capacity Time CapEx, OpEx of traditional storage Cloud Storage Local Storage However, most I/O happens to the “Working Set” data Data grows exponentially (50–60% Annually)
- 19. How Microsoft HCS Lowers Complexity Storage Tomorrow = Flexible, Powerful and Less Costly Microsoft Azure Primary Storage Disk-based Backup Storage Tape Infrastructure & Management Archival Storage Replicated Storage for DR Offsite Facility for Geo-resilience
- 20. Two > Six ? Microsoft Azure Primary Storage Disk-based Backup Storage Tape Infrastructure & Management Archival Storage Replicated Storage for DR Offsite Facility for Geo-resilience Azure + StorSimple = 60–80% Lower TCO
- 21. StorSimple Cloud Snapshots and RTO StorSimple Cloud Snapshots speed up RTO by up to 100x RecoveryTime Primary Data Size 1 TB 5 TB 20 TB 50 TB 100 TB 15 Min. 1 Hour 1 Day 7 Days 30 Days 90 Days Regular Cloud Backup with 100 Mbps WAN Link Tape StorSimple Cloud Snapshots with 50 Mbps WAN Link ApplicationRecoveryTimesfrom offsitebackups in caseof a disaster
- 22. Why Not Use a Pure Cloud Storage Solution? Integration • HTTP/REST API • Integration with existing backup applications & processes Performance • WAN latency performance impact • WAN bandwidth costs • Traditional WAN optimization does not work with public clouds Security • Data security & compliance risk App HTTPS/REST Microsoft Azure
- 23. Fundamental Value of StorSimple App Applications in Physical or Virtual Servers StorSimple Customer Data Center Enterprise SAN storage Inline de-dupe, compression & automatic tiering Automated offsite data protection using cloud snapshots Highly efficient, location independent disaster recovery StorSimple connects Windows, Linux and Hyper-V/VMware servers to Azure Storage in minutes with no application modification
- 24. When to Consider HCS Target Use Cases File Share • CIFS • NFS • File servers • NAS SharePoint • Business intelligence • Collaboration • Content & records management Archives • EMR/PACS • Legal • Construction • Media • Engineering • Logs, records VMs • Regional office storage • VM sprawl • VM archives Tier 2 Applications Generic Application Server SharePoint Server Backup to the Cloud File Share Server Virtual Machines Local Storage Backup Archiving Server Regional Office Storage
