What Does Your Next NetApp Refresh Look Like?
- 1. What Does Your Next NetApp Refresh Look Like? Available On Demand A live panelist discussion on how to best leverage NetApp filers ● Modern use cases for unstructured data ● NetApp’s challenges in meeting these use cases ● NetApp alternatives: all-flash and object storage ● Repurposing, not replacing your NetApp
- 2. Our Speakers George Crump is the founder of Storage Switzerland, the leading storage analyst focused on the subjects of big data, solid state storage, virtualization, cloud computing and data protection. He is widely recognized for his articles, white papers, and videos on such current approaches as all-flash arrays, deduplication, SSDs, software-defined storage, backup appliances, and storage networking. He has over 25 years of experience designing storage solutions for data centers across the US.

- 6. Is It Just About NetApp? • No!
- 7. Types Of Unstructured Data • Office automation files • Images of customer interactions (e.g., contracts) • Rich media (drawings, pictures, videos) • HD security cameras • Storing social media interaction
- 8. Use Cases For Unstructured Data • Data Discovery • Trend Analysis (e.g., social media) • Data Exploration (e.g., most common diagnosis) • Signal detection (e.g., diagnosis phrases that could lead to trouble)
- 9. NetApp’s Challenges In Meeting These Use Cases • Limited scalability • Leads to storage silos • No centralized catalog of data content • Repeated backup of fixed content • Not usually performance: more scalability & management
- 10. NetApp Alternative: All-Flash Storage • The problem was not performance • Much more expensive • Leaves with scalability issues
- 11. NetApp Alternative: Object Storage • Very scalable long term storage of unstructured data • Right price point for data with low perceived value • Difficult to learn & manage another storage protocol • Users will have multiple places to find their data
- 12. NetApp Alternative: Thin Provisioning Your NetApp • Automatically move older files out to object storage • Maintain mount point • Gain scalability and manageability advantages of object storage • Maintain mount points • No change in user behavior
- 13. Have Your Cake And Eat It Too • Don’t replace or buy more NetApp just because you’re at capacity • Repurpose it instead • Everybody wins!
- 14. Thin-Provision Primary NAS Storage One quarter the cost of legacy storage Transparent file access – no application changes ● Plugs into Windows and NetApp file servers Streamlines backups, auto-tiering & restores ● Policy-driven – set it and forget it Global file repository & access ● Aggregate files from multiple servers Data is continuously protected, consolidated & searchable Aligning data to the cost and performance of where it’s stored.
- 15. FileFly – Retain Primary Storage Investment Retain Primary Storage Footprint Existing Primary Storage now only10% consumed 100TB 0TB New Secondary Storage 200TB 0TB Smart Tiered 90% Reclaiming 90TB Primary Storage
- 16. Overcomes NetApp Performance Barriers Business Benefits Achieved with Caringo ● Over 2.5PB video for 650+ vehicles accessible anytime, anywhere ● No performance degradation to access large static files ● No future NetApp primary storage spend & reduced backup windows ● Achieved internal strategy to deliver IT like large cloud providers “Their Swarm system had the scale. It did not have file system limitations. And, they had the ability to tier data off our traditional NAS into a much cheaper, more scalable storage system.” Tony Williams Director of IT
