10 Prediction of Storage Technology in 2011

Enter continues to grow each year. Then, how these trends in 2011? Consider the prediction Hu Yoshida, Chief Technology Officer (CTO), Hitachi Data Systems.
According to Hu, in 2011 will be colored with 10 main storage trends surrounding the transformation of the data center. Here penjabarannya as quoted on Tuesday (01/11/2011):
1. Adoption of storage virtualization and dynamic provisioning faster.
Both the foundation for the implementation 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.
Users do not need to classify a volume and allocate it to a single tier storage. Users also do not need to raise or lower the volume to a certain tier based on the activity.Dynamic Virtual tiering or tiering will do it automatically without the need to inter-tier classification or transfer.
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% 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. Multi-tier storage pool that has a little SSD and a lot of SAS or SATA drives will be cheaper than a pool of SAS drives with a total capacity of the same and give IOP of four to five times as much.
5. Adoption of Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) for enterprise storage systems.
Unlike Fibre Channel (FC) loop is used to support FC drives on the old storage systems, SAS is a protocol point-to-point. FC loop requires every drive in the loop to help access to the loop, which resulted in inefficiencies. If you drive faster - such as SSD drives - connected to loop it, will spend the loop so that other drives do not miss out access.
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. SAS is also compatible with SATA.The only difference is its port, SAS has a dual port SATA ports while the single.
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 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. Convergence 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. Applications increasingly transparent in storage virtualization or application will require a Cloud infrastructure.
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.
Management software can provide a dashboard application for business units that use them in accordance with the target SLA. Dashboard shows the status of SLA, the allocation of disks, RAID type, port storage and the level of health infrastructure used, and capacity usage.
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. To transform the data center, IT staff must find time for training, planning and execution.
A group of IT experts who operate outside the Service Operations Center uses remote management devices can increase this capacity to the various installations at a cost of more acceptable and encourage faster return on investment.

2011, IT Spending Reached $ 3, 6 Trillion

Stamford - research and consulting firm information technology, Gartner, estimates that the world's IT spending will increase approximately 5.1 percent and exceeded $ 3, 6 trillion during 2011.
Gartner notes, 2010 and then the world's total IT spending to grow approximately 5.4 percent of the achievement of 2009, reached the figure of USD 3.4 trillion. Positive trend is believed to still be continuing. That is why, Gartner revised the 2011 prediction by changing the rate of growth per year from 3.5 percent to 5.1 percent.Thus was launched ZDNet, Friday (1/7/2011).
Positive predictions that come driven by soaring market of telecommunications equipment. Expenditures for this market was allegedly going to increase to 9.1 percent and reached USD1, 65 trillion, considering that smartphone sales continue to grow rapidly.
Furthermore, Gartner also include fluctuations in currency exchange rates as one important factor in the revised prediction.
"Aided by U.S. dollar value of that quite well, the global IT spending estimated exceed five percent in 2010. But, with the same growth rate, despite these predictions, the figures were not yet certain, given the macro economic uncertainty continues, "said Gartner vice president, Richard Gordon.
Even so, Gartner still believes the IT industry will continue to grow. Gordon claims, IT is a fundamental key in the company's cost reduction and optimization. Investments in technology are increasingly viewed as an important element in business development strategy.
In its report, Gartner also noted if the user has a contribution to Asia-Pacific to reach $ 652 billion, an increase of USD 57 billion in the year 2010, an increase of USD 57 billion from last year's achievement.
Software touted to be the biggest leap in user spending, which reached 12.8 percent.That figure is higher than other categories such as hardware, IT services and telecommunications.
However, overall, telecommunications equipment is still the biggest spending area by donating USD460 billion during 2011, compared to the period 2010 achievement of USD422 billion.
Last November, Gartner noted if the organizations in the Asian region is predicted to increase their IT spending up 7.6 percent, reaching USD 312 billion. However, the growth rate in 2011 is weaker when compared with last year, where the budget increased to 10.6 percent.

HP Printer Technology Distance wandering 60% Population

Jakarta - belong Eprint Technology Hewlett-Packard (HP) claimed strongly supportsIndonesia's current consumer lifestyle is a very mobile. It makes HP's confident thattheir products would be successful in the market. They are also targeting the 60percent of Indonesia's population.
This was said by Lord Goddard Karnadi, Managing Director of Imaging and PrintingGroup, HP Indonesia, on Tuesday (11/01/2011), during the launching ceremony heldat Plaza Senayan Eprint. He explained that users of this technology is the age of 14years and over, where they are active users of the Internet, social media, and smart phones.
"Population age 14 plus in Indonesia is 60 percent. While 72 percent of the productive population in the island of Java,"said Goddard.
He also explained based Canalys data, in 2010 there were 4.7 million smart phone users and is predicted to increase to 14 million in 2013 (up about 45 percent). Withan increase of 3 times that, HP believes that this new technology will be successful.

Onno: Useless There Server BlackBerry in Indonesia

Jakarta - In addition to the BlackBerry Internet censorship demands, also asked theMinistry of Communications and Informatics Research In Motion (RIM) to build itsservers or repeaters in Indonesia. The goal, in addition to facilitate the investigation ofcriminal cases, also to reduce the cost of a BlackBerry subscription.
Widodo Onno Purbo technology practitioners argue, in the world of computers and the Internet, the location of the server to be not so important. More main thought is to have full access rights to enter the server.
"If his server is in Indonesia but we are not given a password to access it, yes the same as lying. If we have a password, even if the server is in Canada there, we stillcan access,"he said when contacted ITGazine, Tuesday (01/11 / 2011).
More importantly, he still said, the access key can be used for the purposes of lawenforcement in Indonesia. For example for the investigation of the police.
"Moreover, most users use Yahoo or Gmail. Strange that RIM should move the serverhere. Why does not Yahoo, Gmail was told to move all," he said.
Onno also not agree if the presence of RIM's servers in Indonesia will have an impact on tariff reduction which makes the BlackBerry service so much cheaper.
"There is no effect, although the RIM servers in Indonesia, but most users do notaccess outside sites such as Yahoo, Gmail. So still subject to international traffic," he explained.

'Not Important Block Porn on the BlackBerry'


Jakarta - Blocking porn sites on the BlackBerry assessed Onno W. Purbo IT experts are not important. According to him, the more the main priority if you want to block porn sites are at schools, offices and cafes.
"The government is one priority of urgency. Users of BlackBerry in Indonesia is only about two million people and most use it for email, chat and social networking. Resolve any major homework, if you want to block pornographic sites from schools, cafes and offices. That's more important," Onno said when contacted ITGazine, Tuesday (01/11/2011).
It is said also by Onno this policy unfair and misplaced. Section, Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (Communications and Informatics) makes the Telecommunications Act as the basic mandate of this policy plan.
"It's for telecom operators. While RIM (Research In Motion) do not. He only works with BlackBerry service providers," said Onno.
BlackBerry according to the proxy service only via the handset. Simply put, Onno describes the BlackBerry is only a mediator to fetch something.
"We ask ambilin emails in Yahoo, Facebook, Gmail for example, was taken by the BlackBerry, he has served. So this is one of urgency and misplaced priorities," he said.
