9. The Emergence of the Storage Hypervisor
“A storage hypervisor [lets] the server […] hypervisor run an
increasingly larger portion of the storage services.”
“It makes sense—both operational and financial—to complete
the abstraction; to separate the storage functionality from the
physical storage system by creating a storage hypervisor.”
“This may even have bigger potential than the virtual server
revolution.”
“Only once it is possible to easily add commodity hardware to
storage pools, which are then controlled by virtualization
and cloud automation software and subject to user
self-provisioning, will we have achieved true virtualization.”
10. Key Trends in Virtualization & Storage
Datacenter convergence reinvents datacenter roles
The emergence of SSD (and how to best leverage it)
The hypervisor will extend to effectively manage enterprise storage
hardware
Multi-hypervisor becomes the industry standard
New storage architectures designed for cloud-scale computing and
commodity economics will emerge
Increasing adoption of Private, Hybrid & Public Cloud initiatives
The Storage Hypervisor plays a pivotal role in each of these trends

Notes de l'éditeur
Speaker’s notesServer virtualization has fundamentally changed IT over the past 10 years. Since Vmware introduced the hypervisor 10 years ago, IT organizations have continued to virtualize workloads from physical servers to multiple virtual machines running on fewer physical servers.
As a result, storage for virtual environments have increased dramatically over the last few years. It’s estimated that Virtualization is tied to $12B of SAN storage in annual spend.This is not only a expensive proposition that will become cost prohibitive to extend virtualization into other environments, but the challenges described in the previous slide simply require a new paradigm shift as customers continue to increase their migration/adoption of Cloud Computing
1. Once server consolidation has occurred, the profile of Input / Output (I/O) that virtualized applications write to storage changes dramatically. From 1 app to one server to direct attached storage, the new model is up to dozens of virtual machines on 1 physical server, with each VM trying to write to storage without any coordination with each other. 2. Virtual machines are encapsulated and isolated, but they are all writing over to storage at the same time, the I/O gets extremely randomized as it writes to storage. That randomized I/O causes decrease in performance to the VM’s thereby impacting business SLA’s and customer experience.3. In order to compensate for the degraded performance, storage vendors have lead customers to believe that over-provisioning to increase spindle counts is the best way to increase I/O performance. As a result, this over-provisioning of storage creates an expensive storage infrastructure to support virtual environments.4. Several analysts, including Andrew Reichmann at Forrester, have calculated that all of the benefits realized through server virtualization have been consumed by this rampant growth in expenditure in storage. 5. But, in addition to performance degradation and the need to use an expensive storage infrastructure to deploy virtualization, virtual environments also require a new paradigm in storage management to allow for greater scale, more flexible provisioning, increased speed of deployment, and more granular management of VM’s.6. However, up until now, such a solution did not exist, and as a result, customers continue to pay this tax on virtualization.
