…OF THE TRADITIONAL
STORAGE ARRAY IS COMING
…NOT OF STORAGE, …NOT OF
STORAGE PEOPLE 2

Today’s Premise
• Why this isn’t hype-converged • Is “IT simplicity” an oxymoron? • Where are we on the journey?

The Architecture
• Scale out…Distributed Systems • Standardized, yet flexible • It’s all about software, still requires a fully tested stack • Inside, Outside, Open and Choice • Flash, cloud, containers and beyond

It’s a big enough umbrella…
Meet most of the criteria, but purposefully not meeting all
Scale-‐out All-‐flash array SDN meets SDS Data Aware Scale-‐out NAS

CIO Challenges
• Budgets and headcount are flat • Exponential growth in data and steady increase of new
projects • Competition from “the cloud”
IT simplicity translates into agility and flexibility 11

Operational Impact Conway’s Law “Organiza(ons which design systems … are constrained to produce systems which are copies of the communica(on structures of these organiza(ons.”
FEAR: Does the new model = less jobs?

Some Final Words • Friends don’t let friends build new data centers • BoFlenecks aren’t eliminated, they are simply moved • Don’t let legacy [infrastructure, applica`ons or mindset] hold your
business back

Summary • Server SAN architecture proven in hyperscale, early
days in enterprise – 2014: ~ 600M hyperconverged; > $6B converged; > $1T IT
• Simplicity requires technology and people in sync • Infrastructure serves your applications
