Agenda

Introducing the DS3000 series Serial Attached SCSI Technology DS3000 Overview DS3000 Competitive overview DS3000 and DS4000 positioning Questions


SMB Overview

Customer Transitioning from internal to external storage

No dedicated storage administrator

Cost conscious and value driven

Require quick and simple implementation

Solution vs. technology driven Challenges

Growing beyond limitations of internal storage

Trying to stay within their limited budgets

Limited IT resources and expertise

Increasing data protection / recovery at a reasonable cost

Unaware of functionality that would add value to their business


Protection – you have more to lose

Performance – Addressing new application demands and data loads

Availability – more people need access more often

Scalability – growth without disrupting operations

Flexibility – select the options based on your needs

Manageability – Manage more data with less resources

Customers Storage Requirements Are Evolving


PB 2-3 ($5-15K) are growing much faster than the higher price bands

External Disk Storage Opportunity

DS3000 series


SCSI is in its 7th generation with the U320 SCSI and has reached its final iteration

Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) is the successor to parallel SCSI New roadmap and the industry-wide acceptance

Offers significant performance enhancements 3-Gbps SAS x4 “wide” ports provide a cumulative bandwidth of up to 12-Gbps for

host connectivity and expansion SAS will become the interface of choice for entry-level storage and

servers SAS and SATA drive compatibility supports tiered storage

SAS is superior to SCSI

What is Tiered Storage?Tiered Storage is a term used when customers divide their storage according to their data’srequirements. For example; data that is most commonly used in read environments is storedon cost-effective SATA disks, while transactional data (databases) is stored on SAS disks thatare suited for random read / write operations.

Uses 1.5Gb/s SATA II drives rather than 3.0Gb/s

Provides very limited real world storage capacity

Very poor dollar-per-useable-gigabytes

No expansion beyond the initial drive tray

Almost no dynamic capabilities

Power supplies can only power one controller

Design requires shutdown and motherboard removal to fix items

Only RAID 5 & 1 supported

HP MSA1500


HPQ MSA1500cs - Pros

Supports SCSI and/or SATA Supports up to 96 SATA drives

Supports up to 56 SCSI drives Somewhat low priced

$8,995 for 0TB - 1 controller (Ideas International web site 1/2/07)

$15,400 for 0TB SAN starter kit (Ideas International web site 1/2/07)

(includes 1 x MSA1500, 1 x controller, 1 x MSA20 SATA drive enclosure, 1 x 4/8 Base SAN Switch, 4 x SFP transceivers & 2 x FCA2214 HBAs & cables)

Supports Linux, Win & Netware Viewed as a low-profile 2U solution Could be used to add SATA to existing HP installations New MSA1510i provides iSCSI


HPQ MSA1500cs - Cons

Uses desktop quality SATA drives Extremely low MTBF

Every drive enclosure is a Single-Point-Of-Failure More modules = more SPOF

Based on five-year old MSA1000 controllers Only two 2Gb/s FC host ports for the entire storage system Extremely poor performance - single 2Gb data path per controller HP recommends the same hard drive capacity be installed in an

entire disk enclosure. Lacks flexibility & configurability

Redundant configurations are expensive Requires two host bus adapters per server

Second controller and fibre channel I/O module

Secure Path software for each server.
