DATASPHERE SOLUTION BRIEF THE STORAGE DIVERSITY PROBLEM
KEY USE CASES • Implement VMware VVols with Existing Resources and Storage-Aware Policies
Billions of dollars have been invested into storage solutions to ensure business agility in our data-driven economy. This storage diversity gives companies unprecedented abilities to meet a wide variety of business needs. However, moving data to different storage types throughout the data lifecycle is a difficult and time-consuming task. Even though last week’s hot data might now be cold, most data remains in the same storage silo where it was first created because of the complexity and expense of data migration. This limits enterprise agility and leads to costly overprovisioning as storage fills up with data that doesn’t always need the same level of performance and protection it did when it was first created.
• Automate Data Lifecycle Management • Expand Scale Out Storage to All Workloads
BENEFITS • Simplify management by converging data to automate orchestration across all storage
RIGHT DATA. RIGHT PLACE. RIGHT TIME.
• Reduce costs by increasing storage utilization
Convergence has become a critical element in the datacenter, making resource management agile enough to meet today’s urgent and diverse business needs. Hypervisors converge compute, software-defined networking converges connections, and hyperconverged storage converges compute, network, and storage, but also becomes a new storage silo that enterprises must maintain alongside other storage systems. DataSphere solves the storage diversity problem by converging data across a single, global dataspace. Now, modern enterprises can finally place the right data on the right storage tier at the right time to meet evolving business demands, while maximizing resource utilization and simplifying management.
• Respond instantly to new and changing application needs • Increase application uptime during migrations and upgrades • Enable a scale out architecture across all storage vendors and protocols
DYNAMICALLY ORCHESTRATE DATA ACROSS CONVERGED VIRTUAL AND PHYSICAL STORAGE RESOURCES THE PRIMARY DATA DATASPHERE PLATFORM was created to transparently connect storage infrastructure from any vendor, media or protocol under a single, global dataspace, allowing data to easily move between server, shared and cloud storage. Through a powerful Objective engine, DataSphere transparently orchestrates data throughout a company’s storage infrastructure, placing data on the ideal storage for its performance and protection needs. Primary Data puts the right data in the right place at the right time, without business disruption.
