3. Data Center Complexity Leads to Wasted Resources
and Reduced Availability
ERP Transactions Web Email
Inefficient resource silos
Inability to track utilization
 Manual processes to “keep things going”
Ever more stringent SLAs
Out of control storage costs  Storage used as a “buffer” to reduce
application risk
Limited visibility
Limited skilled staff  Increased risk of downtime
Costly human errors
Burdensome change management

4. Work Smarter, Not Harder with Symantec
I consider this ‘actionable This makes failover operations
intelligence’ to prevent problems much simpler and reliable,
before they occur. something that doesn’t take a
Ph.D. to execute.

5. Streamline Operations by reducing Storage Complexity
• Multi-tier Server environment
• Multiple tiers of storage
– Replicated or not
– Thin or not
– Various RAID level
– Diverse media types
RAID 10 RAID 5 RAID 6
• Multiple storage vendors
SSD FC SATA

6. Focus on the Service Level Matter, Not RAID Levels
• You define the set of Storage Services
available to your applications
– Gold: EMC VMAX, Replicated, Thick
RAID 10 on SSD
– Silver: EMC VMAX, Replicated, Thin
RAID 1 on FC
– Bronze: HDS AMS, Thin RAID 6 on
SATA
GOLD SILVER BRONZE
• Automatic identification of devices
matching the Storage Services
• Create and manage file systems and host
volumes based on Storage Services
• Automatic handling of the underlying
SAN complexity

7. Optimize Storage by identifying and reclaiming
underutilized storage
Sample Reports
 Storage Utilization. View
storage waste and
reallocate based on
application needs
License Deployment.
Deployment reports based
on your environment
ensures compliance
 Patches. Ensure that the
most recent patches are in
deployment

8. Prevent downtime and instantly detect failures
• Detect failures, recover faster and use less resources.
– Storage Foundation HA relies on OS based events to immediately react to
resource failures.
– Removes the need to poll resources and reduces system resource need
by up to 95 percent.
• Prevent downtime.
– Non-disruptive testing of HA/DR configurations across physical and virtual
– Coordinated start/stop of application resources simplifying maintenance
and recovery in the event of an outage
• Patch and maintain with confidence.
– Simplified patching for existing installations and preparation for new
installs

9. Work Smarter, Not Harder Key-Takeaways
• Addressing complexity in the data center through automation
• Improved storage utilization with increased visibility and ability
to drive up disk usage
• Reduced risk through coordinated start/stop and simplified
patching & maintenance
