Storage Trends 10 Predictions in 2011

JAKARTA - Year 2011 which has just started this, of course demands a variety of changes, including in the IT industry segments. According to the Hu Yoshida, Chief Technology Officer (CTO), Hitachi Data Systems storage market trends will be colored with 10 primary storage data centers around the transformation. And the following 10 trends storage according to Hu Yoshida, who okezone quotes through its official statement on Sunday (16/01/2011). 1. Adoption of storage virtualization and dynamic provisioning faster. Both the foundation for the application of cloud computing and dynamic data center with high availability. Storage virtualization, virtualization of external storage arrays enable the migration from one array to another array without any interruption.Meanwhile, dynamic provisioning enables storage is provided in minutes. 2. The integration of server and storage virtualization more closely. This integration is necessary to increase the adoption of virtualized data center.Today, server virtualization has matured beyond consolidation cost reductions from the print server, file, test and development to support the application server tier 1.Virtualization servers require the integration of virtualization storage array that can reduce the 'bottleneck' I / O software such as SCSI, so they can meet the needs of enterprise-class applications. 3. Adoption of virtual tiering for lifecycle management. Currently, tiering is able to allocate virtual volumes to a single pool of storage (storage group) that contains the performance, cost and number of tiers of storage. Virtual tiering also has the intelligence to move the components of that volume to another tier based on the number of access. 4. Time to use the SSD (Solid State Drive) in a virtual configuration tier. SSD can improve performance while lowering the cost of a virtual configuration tier.Currently, 80 percent more volume classified as inactive, only a small number of SSDs that are needed in Tier 1 to serve the active components from a single volume.Most of the volume can use SAS or SATA drives are cheaper. 5. Adoption of Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) for systems of enterprise storage. Unlike Fibre Channel (FC) loop is used to support FC drives on the old storage systems, SAS is a protocol point-to-point. Most SAS drives currently 6Gbps speed and most of the FC loop is 4Gbps. Thus, SAS has faster performance with the access point-to-point, making them easier to find the drive that failed compared to FC loops. 6. Drive SFF (Small Form Factor), will be more easily found. Mainly because of the power and cooling efficiency SFF owned. SFF devices are 2.5-inch drives which consume power around 6 to 8 watts, compared to drive Large Form Factor (LFF) 3.5 inch which takes 12 to 15 watts. Thus, SFF cut dramatically the power and cooling, plus also savings from the use of the room. Some vendors package the 24 disks in a drawer SFF 2U-high 33.5 inches wide. Hitachi AMS package and Virtual Storage Platform (VSP) to be more compact. One drawer AMS has 48 drive 3U high by 24 inches wide. This drawer can be pulled for maintenance by 48 disk is still spinning. 7. Cloud (Cloud) was accepted as one of the infrastructure model. Cloud computing will begin to be accepted as one of the concepts tested. A number of foundation to the Clouds will encourage adoption by providing a number of device management and orchestration layer that provides transparency throughout the process. 8.Konvergensi data center soared. Convergence server infrastructure, storage and networking will simplify and accelerate application deployment. The use of servers, hypervisor, storage and network virtualization provides a way for an open platform that ensures investment protection and choice to users. 9.Aplikasi increasingly transparent in storage virtualization. Without this transparency, the user application can not know whether the target Service Level Agreement (SLA) has been reached, how to know their billing mechanisms, planning and utilization of health level of its infrastructure. 10. Managed services (managed services) Remote start is available. Remote Managed Services will reduce the burden of monitoring, reporting, warning and management of IT operations that prevent switching to new technology. For more than 10 years, the mandate given to IT is to do more with less so that the staff was busy with the maintenance of the same technology.
