Information Lifecycle Management

• New Buzzword in the Industry
• ILM is a Combination of Processes and Technology
  that Determines how Data Ages and Flows Through
  an Environment.
• Storage Networking World
• It Helps End Users Manage Data from the Moment
  it is Created to the Time it is no Longer
  Needed.

ILM Components

• Data Classification
• Structured (DBs), SemiStructured (email),
  Unstructured (documents)
• Mission Critical, Business Critical, Operational
• Age, Access Frequency, Performance Requirements,
  Availability
• SRM and ICM tools
• Data Policies
• Time in a location, flow, number of copies,
  destruction
• Policy Architects should have intimate
  familiarity with the business
• Data Management
• Software to implement the policies HSM, ECM
• Tiered Infrastructure
• Physical structures
• FC, SATA, CAS, Tape, WORM

SRM Answers to Your Questions

• Utilization
• Comprehensive reports that provide summary and
  file-level detail
• Snapshots in the user interface provide a quick
  view of your filesystems, mail servers, and
  databases

1

• Availability
• Thresholds warn you when you approach dangerous
  levels
• Intelligent Actions automatically triggers when
  thresholds are breached
• Reports show what files are at risk due to
  failed backups

2

• Automation
• Automate housekeeping tasks with Intelligent
  Actions
• Create best practice policies to maintain
  healthy storage
• Become operating system and storage-agnostic
  with Intelligent Actions

Hierarchical Storage Management(HSM)
14
HSM

• What is it?
• Automated, policy-based data movement with
  transparent access for unstructured data in File
  Systems and structured data in Database and Email
  systems.
• Implements Archiving and ILM
• What is the primary benefit?
• Lower Total Cost of Ownership
• Other benefits
• Regulatory Compliance and Litigation Discovery
• Improved Performance
• databases, email, backup

15
Motivating Factors Archiving

and Storage Management, Radicati Group, March

16
HSM

• Current Approaches are ineffective
• Just add more disk
• Inefficient use of high-performance, high-cost
  disk
• Manual file deletion or movement efforts
• Selective backup
• Use of Backup as Archive

Inactive Data Consumes Storage/Staff Resources

• Often 80 of files havent been accessed in 30
  days
• Primary storage of inactive data is costly,
  inefficient

If a large percentage of your data hasnt been
accessed in months, do you still need to back it
up every week??

What is CAS?A Business Perspective

• Technology for effective long-term storage of
  massive quantities of Fixed Content
• Provides
• On-line access
• Retention for decades
• Object authenticity and integrity
• Content Protection Security
• Business Continuance
• Disaster Recovery
• Offers Lower Total Cost of Ownership
• Acquisition, operation, management
• Self-configured managed
• Non-disruptive scalability

26
Market Position An Active Archive

• Definition An archive for Fixed Content -
  unchanging digital assets that are retained for
  active reference and long-term business value
• An effective archive must provide

• Fast access 1-10 seconds in multi-terabyte
  environments
• Anywhere, any time

Accessibility

• Assurance content has not been modified
• Where needed, compliance with regulatory
  requirements

Authenticity
Longevity

• Massively scalable to petabytes
• Technology obsolescence protection

• Meets requirements for business continuity and
  disaster recovery
• Requires minimal administration ?Low TCO

Manageability

• Introduced in April 2002
• Fastest growing product in EMC history
• Over
• 10PB shipped through 2003
• 50PB shipped through 2004
• More than
• 1200 customers
• 400 partners and resellers (at launch in 2002 30
  Partners)
• The 1 reason customers buy they create an
  active enterprise archive.
• Online access with assured content authenticity
  at a TCO better than a tape archive.
