- 7. Polling Question What is your primary source of unstructured data?
- 8. • Most IT Professionals know that Unstructured Data is Growing • What’s New - Unprecedented • The rate of growth • The variety of data types • The quantity of files / objects • The need to use / re-use this data • Data analytics to build new business and research opportunities The Unstructured Data Problem - It’s More Than Just Data Growth
- 9. As A Service • Storing it WAS the big Challenge • Storing it “relatively” easy today but difficult to do within budget • Today Unstructured Data needs to be: • Streamed and accessed rapidly • Seamlessly accessible by a variety of users across a variety of storage devices and location • Securely shared beyond the boundaries of the firewall • Preserved (not just stored) for decades Unstructured Data Then And Now
- 10. Impact Of Modern Unstructured Data • A Storage System for every occasion • High Performance Block and NAS Access • High Capacity NAS and S3 • Compliance / Regulatory • Private Cloud (Object Storage) • Public Cloud • Most Cloud Providers have 4 classes of storage service • The Result - NAS Sprawl
- 11. As A Service • Data centers have dozens of systems storing Unstructured Data • A new type of NAS is purchased for each use case • And the new number of use cases are expanding • Within each use case additional NAS are bought as the first NAS reaches limitations Understanding NAS Sprawl
- 12. The Impact Of NAS Sprawl • Capital Expensive • Operationally Expensive • Technologically Limiting • Data can’t be accessed and identified across storage types
- 13. The Cause Of NAS Sprawl • It’s not the Hardware • The hardware is all (basically) the same • It’s the Software • Specifically, it’s the file system
- 14. The Problems The File Systems Cause • They are too myopic • Most file systems are focused on one use case • Some only preserve, some only perform • May reach file count and object limits rapidly in today’s large unstructured data environments
- 15. The Problems The File Systems Cause • They are too silo’ed • Work within the confines of one storage system (even scale out) • Work with only one hardware type • They do not incorporate multiple geographic locations and data in the cloud • They don’t enable mobility • May tier (flash to HDD) within a single system • But not flash to HDD to Object to Cloud to Tape
- 16. • A Single File System that Delivers • High Performance access and streaming performance • A true Global File System • Presents a single namespace across NAS, Object, Tape, Cloud • Delivers High Performance metadata for analytics and fast streaming • Delivers performance for both standard file data as well as rich media images and video • And...a system that can preserve data for decades The Modern Data Center Needs A Modern File System
