Todays Enterprise ChallengesIBM System Storage N series OverviewExplosive data growthMaking everything do moreAdapt and scale the infrastructure24 x 7 global accessData security and complianceApplication integrationIT ManagersCIOsImproving business processesEnterprise-wide operating costsGrowing customer relationshipsSupporting competitive advantagehttp://www.certificationkey.com/NS0-156.html 4Goal of this slide: Open dialog with customers to explore the challenges they are most concerned with, allowing you to better position our solutions with the customers requirements.Script: We talk with lots of customers, and even though their environments and businesses are very different, many of the same challenges come up over and over again. IT managers consistently struggle with handling explosive data growth, the need to do more with less, keeping up with change while maintaining constant availability, keeping data out of the hands of the wrong people and keeping their bosses out of jail. One of the newer trends were seeing is a real focus on application integration, because people want to spend more of their resources focused on increasing the performance of their critical business applications, not worrying about low-level infrastructure components like storage. This is one of the reasons that we work so closely with key vendors like Oracle, Microsoft, and SAP, so that their applications can take direct advantage of our innovation. Over time, that integration will deliver the benefits of our storage innovation directly into the hands of their customers.[Click mouse to build]Another trend were seeing is the recognition of the broad impact a companys IT infrastructure can have on business. This, in turn, means CIOs everywhere are looking to align their IT capabilities with the companys business challenges.These are just some of the things we see broadly across the industry, but Im curious about the challenges you face. Do they align to this list pretty well? What would you say are the biggest and hardest challenges you face? (Use this time to open up dialog.)

IBM N series delivers. (add) The N series Unified Architecture AdvantageIBM System Storage N series OverviewIncompatible silosCompatible familyPlatformsCompetitorsN seriesSoftware &ProcessesIncompatible software;different processesUnified software;Same processesExperts &IntegrationServicesLots of experts andintegration servicesReduced training & service requirements6Goal of this slide: Demonstrate the difference and consequential value of the N series Unified Architecture approach.Script:One of the best examples of N series innovation is the Unified Architectural Model which provides the foundation for the dramatic differences in value N series is able to provide.First lets look at the hardware platform model. No matter which of our competitors you look at, they all use the same approachspecialized, incompatible platforms for different functions. They may have a platform for low end, another for mid-range, yet another for high-end, and still another for compliance. Each of these platforms, while robust in its own area, forms an information silo, and an investment dead-end. By contrast, N series systems base solutions on one, extremely broad, scalable and fully compatible platform, totally eliminating the notion of information silos. And to help you get the most out of your investment dollars, every system can be easily upgraded without migrating the data.[Click mouse to build]This model starts to get even more compelling when you look at the software and processes required. The specialized hardware platforms each run their own, incompatible software, each with its own set of processes and best practices. In contrast, the N series family all runs the same set of software, with the same processes. So much so that we hear customers say that they only have to test an application with one N series systemthey know what works on one, will work on all.[Click mouse to build]Add to this the people side of the equation, and you see that all those incompatible platforms each need their own experts, and getting them to work together requires even more people and expensive integration services. With n series, your people need less training, spend less time on making things work together, and because theyre familiar with the systems, they make fewer mistakesthe leading cause of downtime.I hope this helps you understand how simple concept like architectural simplicity can make a big impact to your bottom line. Single OS running on all storage platforms for reduced management complexities and seamless scalability.

N5000 series: Value, Performance, and VersatilityIBM N5000 series Unified Storage System Outstanding price-performance valueExcellent performance for Unified Storage Environments requiring both NAS & SANSuperior application availabilityUnsurpassed versatility

High-end performance at mid-range price

http://www.certificationkey.com/NS0-156.html 23Additional Comment:The N5300 and N5300 Gateway use the same hardware and the same version of the Data ONTAP operating system.The N5600 is the IBM branded version of the NetApp FAS3070. The N5600 offers customers some very compelling benefits.One, its unified storage architecture provides multi-protocol heterogeneous platform and is an excellent choice for customers with midrange unified storage needs. Especially those clients who have both IP, iSCSI and FC storage needs and are looking to optimize their IT or consolidate to fewer storage devices. Two, as you will see in later slides, the system has outstanding value in price/performance.Three, With all the software capabilities available on the N5600 and all N series systems, it is a very versatile system. This versatility is one of the greatest strengths. With the amount of software options available on N series, you can easily tailor each system to your clients unique needs.

Capabilities N5000 seriesKey Features of the N5000 seriesScales up to 504 drives & 504TB capacityStorage tiers with FC and SATA drives High-bandwidth I/O designIntegrated remote managementN5300 and N5600Unified storage providing connectivity for multi-protocol host environments

http://www.certificationkey.com/NS0-156.html 24CommentsNote that remote management and 4Gb FC have become a standard features in the 2nd generation N5300 and N5600 systems.

10Gb Ethernet is available as a single-port PCI-X card for N5200 and N5500 systems today. The N5300 and N5600 do not have PCI-X expansion slots. Instead, they have higher bandwidth PCI Express (PCIe) slots. By supporting both FC and SATA disk drives it an ideal system for both primary and secondary storage client requirements. I would like to point out the N5600 is also based on the 64 bit architecture, and that high bandwidth architecture which is the same as in the N5600 and N7000 series. The N5600 has onboard Gigabit Ethernet and 4Gbps Fiber Channel ports. For expansion, the N5600 expansion slots are PCI express or PCIe.

See the detailed technical specifications document for single-controller specifications.

Each of these systems has 8 integrated Fibre Channel ports and 8 integrated Ethernet ports in an active-active, dual controller configuration. The integrated Ethernet ports all run at Gigabit speed. The integrated Fibre Channel ports in the N5200 and N5500 run at 2Gb/sec while the N5300 and N5600 have 4Gb/sec speed on their integrated ports.

The maximum port figures for FC and Ethernet are achieved via a combination of integrated ports and quad-port FC adapter cards or quad-port GbE NICs. For example, a N5300 configured to have 32 FC ports (integrated + adapters) will have 8 integrated Ethernet ports. Conversely, the same N5300 can be configure to have 32 Ethernet ports (integrated + NICs) and 8 integrated 4Gb FC ports.

Error Rate per Bits Read40NetApp RAID-DP offers the highest level protection with the best performance available to protect from data loss double resulting from media failure within the same RAID groupNow consider a storage array. Drives are grouped in RAID sets. RAID helps to build resiliency to individual disk drive failures. Upon a drive failure, the RAID set can reconstruct the lost drive using mathematical redundancy built into RAID. The reconstruction requires that all of the bits in the RAID disk drives are read. Data loss occurs when you encounter a bit error during reconstruction read operations.You now have the three ingredients for a perfect storm under single parity RAID:Increased (up to 2X) drive failures = more reconstructions with ATA drivesLower bit error resiliency on ATA drives = increased likelihood of bit errorsLarger ATA disk drives = larger number of bits in a RAID group = increased likelihood of bit errors.NetApp effectively eliminates this risk with RAID-DP. Others can too (with RAID6). The difference is that our solution creates minimal performance impacts and is extremely simple to deploy.

New!49N series can help you get more from your current storage investments. The N series Gateways transforms legacy storage systems from IBM, Hitachi Data Systems, HP, EMC, Fujitsu, and 3PAR to provide the benefits of Data ONTAP and the N series manageability software family. The unified and virtualized storage is designed to be easier to provision and manage. Backup time, space requirements, and cost can be dramatically lower with N series Snapshot copies. You can also increase storage utilization and reduce costs with N series FlexVol thin provisioning. FlexVol can also increase performance by spreading data across more disks. And, with N series controllers in front, your legacy storage can be used not only for FC-SAN but also for NAS and IP-SAN (iSCSI).

An N series Gateway is a disc-less controller with Data ONTAP.

The N series Gateways currently supports the disc arrays of the vendors whose logos you see below.Heres a more in-depth support chart for you to inspect:

Simple and intuitive web-based single-appliance administrationSecureAdmin is standard feature of Data ONTAP that enables authenticated, command-based administrative sessions between an administrative user and Data ONTAP over an intranet or the Internet. SecureAdmin can be used to authenticate both the administrative user and the N series system, creating a secure, direct communication link to the N series system. It helps protects administrative logins, passwords, and session commands from "cleartext" snooping by replacing rsh and telnet with the strongly encrypted SSH protocol SecureAdmin

The expectation is that no other disk fails nor uncorrectable bit errors not occur during a read operation while reconstruction of the failed disk is still in progress. If either event occurs during reconstruction, then some or all data contained in the RAID array or volume could be lost. With modern larger disk media, the likelihood of an uncorrectable bit error is fairly high, since disk capacities have increased but bit error rates have stayed the same. The ability of traditional single-parity RAID to protect data is being stretched beyond its limits.Disk VolumesN seriesApplication Cluster with N series clustering

http://www.certificationkey.com/NS0-156.html SnapManager for SQL server and SnapManager for ExchangeHost software for managing Exchange and SQL Server backup and restore. SnapManager software simplifies data protection by automating processes to provide hands-off, worry-free data management. It enables you to schedule and automate backups, use policy-based backup retention management, and simplify the migration of existing databases to IBM N series systems. SnapManager also delivers built-in high availability, with features that allow you to expand databases online. It also offers tight integration with Microsoft Cluster Server (MSCS) and Multipath I/O (MPIO) and with the N series Clustered Failover option and SnapMirror for simplified disaster recovery implementation. Enables the recovery of a single mailbox from a Microsoft Exchange Information Store. Unlike Lotus Domino where every mailbox is stored as a separate database (and therefore is implicitly recoverable as a unit by itself), Exchange clumps several mailboxes together into .edb files and .stm files.This makes recovery of a single users mailbox extremely cumbersome and in most cases impossible unless there is some brick-level backup software in place.With SMBR, no brick-level (transaction level) backup is required. SMBR can extract a single mailbox or email directly and rapidly from an Exchange Information Store.

Failure to consider storage virtualization in the design and deployment of a VMware Solution simply transfers costs from servers or desktops to storage

81Users access these desktops remotely from a PC or a thin client using a remote display protocol. Since applications are managed centrally at the corporate data center, organizations gain better control over their desktops. Installations, upgrades, patches and backups can be done with more confidence without user intervention.VMware Virtual Desktop Infrastructure lets companies preserve the security level of their corporate network at offsite facilities. Remote users access applications that reside in the corporate data center, where companies can more easily adhere to compliance requirements as well as secure data that is now locked down in the host country data center.Joint Value PropositionIncrease ROI by aggregating, thin-provisioning, and managing resources across virtual machines & flexible volumes

http://www.certificationkey.com/NS0-156.html 86Clicking through the slides, we present a simple scenario

The simple exchange mailbox servers Note that they are happily consolidated to a Network Appliance array.Create a Snapshot only a couple of seconds to do it! Ready to archive to tape if you want!SnapDrive and SnapManager key components. Remember that SnapDrive integrates to the SAN and carries out the requests that SME makes. SME is a wizard driven interface that allows for the automation of Snapshot creation.Extend the scenario everything is running famously well, then WHAMMO A store is down. SnapRestore to the rescue. SME again is used to handle the work SME will apply the appropriate Snapshot, Exchange auto replays the logs, auto validate the store with appropriate Microsoft tools as Microsoft recommends. Presto the store is up again and running. And it takes minutes, not hours.

Easy as eatin lettuce! See the online Demo for proof! You can easily extend this scenario with SnapVault and send the Snapshots to disk backup on a NearStore.

It may be required to take what the customer knows about a snapshot and re-apply it to how the process of rolling back to it works. Sinking to deep into the technology will obscure the top level message. The detail can come later. Demos help.

Note the slide says recover in minutes. Compared to tape recover this is very true. Time to recover depends on several factors:Replay of logs. If the last snapshot is 24 hours old, you will need to run through 24 hours of logs. Obviously it will be far faster than tape, but it is unlikely to be done in 10 minutes. This time can be minimized with more frequent snapshots being taken and kept online. Length of recover is dependent on factors such as CPU and amount of logs to replay.Time it takes to validate the recover with eseutil.exe. Processing power of the serverActivity happening on databases in other storage groups on separate LUNS are not affected by the recover scenario.

Transition

There is also one other potential issue you may have Do you verify your Exchange backups so that you are certain that the consistency of the database is correct so that when a recover occurs? If you do, you may notice the big impact it has on the server CPU.

95Lets start with what we call Traditional disk based backup and recovery. On the left you see primary storage which is characterized by a higher cost, higher performance and very fast performance. On the far right you have archive targets which have traditionally been tape or optical jukeboxes. This is characterized by slower performance, often a low cost to store the information but with higher operational costs to manage and access the information. Also, much slower access times to read and write data.(Click)2 years ago we introduced the concept of introducing Nearline storage in the middle for disk staging. This enables organizations to do daily backups to disk and backup to tape weekly or bi-weekly which reduces the amount of data that needs to be written to tape. Also, data is online for faster recovery. The other advantage this provides is that you can leverage your existing investment in primary storage, your backup application, and tape libraries.

Also a single solution supports both sync, semi-sync and async replication. The solution can be installed quickly and requires little in terms of operational costs. It is efficient in that only changed blocks are sent acrosst he network.

IBM System Storage N series Overview100SnapLock is non-erasable, non-rewritable magnetic disk storage, also known as WORM (write once, read many).SnapLock protects archived emails from Intentional or Accidental Erasure or tampering. This is required for some types of compliance (like SEC Rule 17a-4) and strongly recommended for other types of compliance (like Sarbanes-Oxley and HIPAA).SnapLock supports individual retention dates for each archived message or attachment. The archived messages cannot be deleted until their retention periods have passed. These retention periods can be extended but never shortened.Because SnapLock leverages existing NetApp hardware and Data ONTAP, it automatically works with almost all popular NetApp features including Snapshots for instant backup, SnapMirror for easy data replication, RAID-DP for a super extra level of protection against disk failures, and the normal high archival and retrieval performance found in NetApp storage.SnapLock uses standard file protocols to write and read data, so no special API or SDK is required. This helps ensure that data can be read or migrated in the future and protects customers against vendor lock-in.There are two kinds of SnapLock licensesSnapLock Compliance: Enables organizations to satisfy strict records-retention regulations such as SEC Rule 17a-4 (broker-dealers), HIPAA (healthcare), Sarbanes-Oxley (public companies), 21CFR Part 11 (life sciences), and DOD 5015.2 (government). Only an act of willful destruction, such as physically removing disks from a NetApp system, can result in record deletion or alteration prior to the specified retention date. SnapLock Enterprise: Enables adherence to rigorous organizational best practices through functionality similar to that of SnapLock Compliance, but allows administrators to delete entire SnapLock Enterprise volumes. Under no circumstances is it possible for any SnapLock Enterprise user or administrator to delete or modify individual SnapLock Enterprise WORM records or undermine SnapLock Compliance WORM volumes.

.http://www.certificationkey.com/NS0-156.html 107Lets start with what we call Traditional disk based backup and recovery. On the left you see primary storage which is characterized by a higher cost, higher performance and very fast performance. On the far right you have archive targets which have traditionally been tape or optical jukeboxes. This is characterized by slower performance, often a low cost to store the information but with higher operational costs to manage and access the information. Also, much slower access times to read and write data.(Click)2 years ago we introduced the concept of introducing Nearline storage in the middle for disk staging. This enables organizations to do daily backups to disk and backup to tape weekly or bi-weekly which reduces the amount of data that needs to be written to tape. Also, data is online for faster recovery. The other advantage this provides is that you can leverage your existing investment in primary storage, your backup application, and tape libraries.

.SnapMirror112IBM System Storage N series OverviewOctober 23, 2007112Key Point: N series can protect Exchange data from disasters or catastrophic natural events by replication to a remote site with a cost efficient remote mirroring solutions.

Talking Points: Economical DR Any-to-any mirroring Any N series storage device can mirror to any other storage device- even simultaneously. This provide you the flexibility to mirror to a NearStore for reduced costs or to a high end system for rapid failover. Bandwidth Efficient N series replicates only changed data blocks across a mirrored link, dramatically reducing bandwidth requirements for mirrored solutions.Mirror over existing WAN N series mirroring solutions work over standard IP based networksScalable replication frequency Adjust replication frequency to replicate data as frequently as every minute or as infrequently as once a day or week - depending on available bandwidth or data protection needs.Rapid recovery in the event of a disaster: When disaster strikes the primary location, a standby Exchange server at the remote location can connect to the Exchange data on the SnapMirror target volume to provide users with rapid access to their email data.
