<uPeer Incite>u: Grant, a Sr. Storage Admin at a large bank discusses how heterogeneous storage virtualization can help reduce the budget for 2009.
WikitipWhat implementing Green storage technology may mean to your ROIReprinted with permission © 2009 TreeTop Technologies "Green" storage technologies are increasingly popular as energy prices go up and as budgets tighten up. But according to a white paper put out by Gartner late last year, Quantifying the Value of Green Storage Technologies, the cumulative savings of such technologies can mean a very short timeframe for return on investment. So, whatever you put into them, you will quickly see back in many cases. Among the observations: An organization deploying a high-end storage system in a typical environment could see up to a 36% reduction in acquisition costs and a $47,000 savings in power and cooling during a three-year period. On a terabyte basis, SATA disk drives typically consume 81% less power than FC disk drives. The data reduction technologies used in network-attached storage (NAS) and virtual tape library (VTL) storage systems are driving the redesign of applications and storage infrastructures, which can result in power and cooling savings of up to 700% in NAS storage, and up to 2,500% in VTL storage.

Featured Case Study
Virtualization Energizes Cal State UniversityJohn Charles is the CIO of California State University, East Bay (CSUEB) and Rich Avila is Director, Server & Network Operations. In late 2007 they were both looking down the barrel of a gun. The total amount of power being used in the data center was 67KVA. The maximum power from the current plant was 75kVA. PG&E had informed them that no more power could be delivered. They would be out of power in less than six months. A new data center was planned, but would not be available for two years. |

Featured How-To Note |
Storage Virtualization Design and DeploymentA main impediment to storage virtualization is the lack of multiple storage vendor (heterogeneous) support within available virtualization technologies. This inhibits deployment across a data center. The only practical approach is either to implement a single vendor solution across the whole of the data center (practical only for small and some medium size data centers) or to implement virtualization in one or more of the largest storage pools within a data center. | |||
