Introduction

The Iceberg in the Data Center
Could it sink you?

structured data

unstructured 80% of all digital
data data is unstructured

Unstructured data
is growing by 60%
CAGR

Unstructured data
resists utilization
and reuse


Customer Challenges

• Explosive growth of unstructured data (files)
• Regulatory compliance
• Storage admin tasks highly manual and redundant
• Costs in hardware, power, cooling, administration
• More electronic collaboration = more files
• Hidden value deep in file systems
• Where to start?


File-based Data Growth

“The fastest-growing data type is the file.
Unstructured, file-based data is growing faster, is
consuming more space, and is being retained longer.
This is a challenge that touches every tier of storage,
from primary to data protection to archiving.”
IDC, January 2009


Just Adding Storage is Unsustainable

“Simply continuing to add more storage through
traditional methods is unsustainable because many
datacenters will be unable to provide the necessary
power, space, or cooling. As a result, companies
need to be more effective and efficient in the way
they provide storage resources.”
IDC, December 2007


Do you know...

How many orphaned folders are on the network?
How many TB of MP3s?
How many documents haven't been accessed in the six
months? The last year?
How many redundant files are stored?
Do you know how much space the files above take up on
your network?
How much does it cost to power and cool?
How much time are you spending backing up?
Understanding your data better is the first step to
rationalizing it

Two Approaches to Efficiency

•Before more
Buy disk Now
• Assess your current state
• Manage blocks • Customize policies for your
• Manage LUNs business requirements
• Hierarchical Storage
• Control data based on its
Management relevance
• Storage Virtualization
• Automate mundane tasks
• Others
• Optimize your file storage
• Reduce back-up windows
• Maintain streamlined
storage environment

Why not control data at the source? Start with the user.

1. Novell Storage Manager ®

• Novell Storage Manager manages files and folders
with polices based on user identities and roles
• IT customizes policies based on their own business
rules, thereby automating redundant, low-value tasks
over the life-cycle of the file
– Provisions and deprovisions based on identity

– Moves and restructures data (event driven)

– Load-balances

– Vaults and deletes files based on policy
Identity-Driven
Data Management


2. Novell Dynamic File Services ®

• Dynamic File Services automatically moves “stale”
files from expensive primary storage to low-cost
secondary storage, based on policies set by IT

• File tiering is accomplished without any impact to the
end user; files appear to be exactly where originally
stored
– Windows and Linux-based file systems

– Customizable policies based on identities and file metadata

– Automated tiering Policy-based
Data Relocation


2. Novell File Reporter ®

• Novell File Reporter inventories file systems to provide
IT with a clear picture of storage resource usage across
multiple categories, including user identities

• Reports can be used to construct and fine-tune policies
for Novell Storage Manager and Novell Dynamic File
Services
– Immensely scalable

– Trend data and monitor Automated

Addressing File-based Data Growth

“Nothing can be done to control the costs of file-based
storage without knowing who is creating a majority of
the data and to what end.”

IDC, January 2009


Even with ample storage...

Without even a basic knowledge of:
• How much you are storing
• How much capacity if being used
• What volumes are storing the most data
• How old your data is
It’s probably costing you money!

Potential Needless Spending On

Tier 1 Storage Capacity

Little Thought When Assigning Storage

• Storage devices are rolled out

• Assigned based on best guesses

• Basically ignored until a problem appears


Novell File Reporter

Architecture and Requirements

Novell File Reporter ®

• Was developed to examine and report on terabytes of
data

• In other words, millions of files and directories scattered
among the various network storage devices that make
up the network

• To do so efficiently, Novell File Reporter disperses the
work load

Scans

• The Agent initiates a Scan of the Storage Resource (SR)
• Scans are indexed and compressed data specific to a SR
• A Scan is decompressed only when data within the scan will be used to
generate a report
• A Scan includes comprehensive information on
– File types being stored and file size
– Duplicate files, file owners
– When files were created or last modified
– Much more
