The Iceberg in the Data CenterCould it sink you?

structured data

unstructured data

80% of all digitaldata is unstructured

Unstructured data is growing by 60% CAGR

Unstructured data resists utilization and reuse

Customer Challenges

• Explosive growth of unstructured data (files)• Regulatory compliance• Storage admin tasks highly manual and redundant• Costs in hardware, power, cooling, administration• More electronic collaboration = more files• Hidden value deep in file systems• Where to start?

File-based Data Growth

IDC, January 2009

“The fastest-growing data type is the file. Unstructured, file-based data is growing faster, is consuming more space, and is being retained longer. This is a challenge that touches every tier of storage, from primary to data protection to archiving.”

Just Adding Storage is Unsustainable

“Simply continuing to add more storage through traditional methods is unsustainable because many datacenters will be unable to provide the necessary power, space, or cooling. As a result, companies need to be more effective and efficient in the way they provide storage resources.”

IDC, December 2007

Do you know...

How many orphaned folders are on the network?

How many TB of MP3s?

How many documents haven't been accessed in the six months? The last year?

How many redundant files are stored?

Do you know how much space the files above take up on your network?

How much does it cost to power and cool?

How much time are you spending backing up?

Understanding your data better is the first step to rationalizing it

Two Approaches to Efficiency

Before Now

Why not control data at the source? Start with the user.

• Buy more disk• Manage blocks• Manage LUNs• Hierarchical Storage

Management• Storage Virtualization• Others

• Assess your current state• Customize policies for your

business requirements• Control data based on its

relevance• Automate mundane tasks• Optimize your file storage• Reduce back-up windows• Maintain streamlined

storage environment

1. Novell® Storage Manager

• Novell Storage Manager manages files and folders with polices based on user identities and roles

• IT customizes policies based on their own business rules, thereby automating redundant, low-value tasks over the life-cycle of the file

– Provisions and deprovisions based on identity

– Moves and restructures data (event driven)

– Load-balances

– Vaults and deletes files based on policyIdentity-Driven

Data Management

Page 15: Novell File Management Suite for Microsoft Active Directory Environments

2. Novell® Dynamic File Services

• Dynamic File Services automatically moves “stale” files from expensive primary storage to low-cost secondary storage, based on policies set by IT

• File tiering is accomplished without any impact to the end user; files appear to be exactly where originally stored

– Windows and Linux-based file systems

– Customizable policies based on identities and file metadata

– Automated tieringPolicy-based

2. Novell® File Reporter

• Novell File Reporter inventories file systems to provide IT with a clear picture of storage resource usage across multiple categories, including user identities

• Reports can be used to construct and fine-tune policies for Novell Storage Manager and Novell Dynamic File Services

– Immensely scalable

– Scheduled or ad-hoc reporting

– Trend data and monitor AutomatedData

Addressing File-based Data Growth

IDC, January 2009

“Nothing can be done to control the costs of file-based storage without knowing who is creating a majority of the data and to what end.”

Page 20: Novell File Management Suite for Microsoft Active Directory Environments

Even with ample storage...

Without even a basic knowledge of:• How much you are storing• How much capacity if being used• What volumes are storing the most data• How old your data is

It’s probably costing you money!

Novell® File Reporter

• Was developed to examine and report on terabytes of data

• In other words, millions of files and directories scattered among the various network storage devices that make up the network

• To do so efficiently, Novell File Reporter disperses the work load

Storage Resources and Reporting Agents

• A Storage Resource (SR) can be a server volume, Novell® Storage Manager policy, network folder path, or a Linux mount point

• Agent performs a “Scan” of the SR to which it is assigned• Agents for:

– Netware®

– Open Enterprise Server 2 Linux– Windows 2003 and 2008 Server– SUSE® Linux

generate a report• A Scan includes comprehensive information on
