Know the difference between utilization and allocation

  • Allocation = How efficiently you use what you buy – allocated storage space vs. how much storage you bought. BUT if you over-allocate your storage, or do not allocate space efficiently, this rate can look good. This can be misleading if not measured the right way – you can overlook a significant amount of wasted space.
  • Utilization = How frequently data is re-referenced (i.e. utilized). We have found that up to 40% of a primary disk array’s capacity holds data that is inert – data that has not been referenced in 6 months or more. Does anyone want t o spend tier 1, disk/SAN prices on data that is not referenced for over 6 months?

Some storage vendors use the terms incorrectly or interchangeably – so if a storage manufacturer says their arrays offer great utilization rates, make sure they are not just talking about allocation.

This is focused largely on reducing energy use both to decrease the corporation's carbon footprint while creating a net savings in operational costs over the lifetime of new, more energy-efficient equipment, including new storage systems.

Planning a Green Storage Initiative

Fluctuating energy prices have heightened electricity and energy consumption as a major issue within the technology community. IT is a significant consumer of energy and IT energy costs have been rising disproportionately because of continued investment in denser IT equipment. Estimates from the EPA and others indicate that IT will account for 3% of energy consumption by 2012.
