随着数据量的升级，许多企业正在寻找存储效率 - 他们已经与软件定义的存储（SDS），发现它

“对于IT组织进行数字化改造，SDS提供了所需要的能力的良好匹配 - 灵活的IT敏捷性;更简单，更直观的管理由独立的存储管理特性驱动;并降低资本成本由于使用商品和关断的，现成的硬件，” 所述埃里克波哥，IDC的研究主管。

该研究公司预计，SDS市场将以13.5％的复合年均增长率在2021年增长。 要完整地阅读这篇文章，请点击此处 //m.amiribrahem.com/article/3295879/sds-running-storage-like-it-s-an-application.html#tk.rss_storagewithoutlimits 存储 2018年8月1日星期三06:31 00 -0700 品牌发布 品牌发布

If there’s a downside to business growth, it’s typically the urgent need for IT resources to keep up with demand. But that obstacle cannot impede forward movement, especially when it comes to storing critical data.

This was the challenge facing two companies. Their legacy storage systems couldn’t address demand for performance and capacity, causing rising IT costs and adding management complexity.

Here’s how they tackled the scalability challenge and cleared the path for business growth. 

Scale With Room to Grow

LUSH Fresh Handmade Cosmetics needed a makeover in the storage department. With 800 stores in 51 countries, the IT infrastructure was rapidly running out of capacity.

Without upgrades and enhancements, nearly every company at some point reaches the natural limits of its IT infrastructure. That threshold seems to hit sooner rather than later when it comes to storage, thanks to escalating volumes of data and increasing workloads.

To avoid capacity problems and ensure continued business growth, it’s critical to modernize storage infrastructure. Here’s how two different organizations reached that conclusion and the paths they took toward upgrading.

A Lesson in Scale

Mesa Community College (MCC) in Arizona enrolls more than 40,000 students each year. Like many organizations, its IT environment included multiple systems from multiple vendors, and the college has a lean IT staff to manage it all.

IT和企业高管几乎总是说，数据安全是1号问题让他们彻夜难眠。违反或攻击的后果远远不够 - 无论是财务损失，品牌受损，或知识产权的损失的可能性

Data sprawl is a problem. Most companies, regardless of industry or size, are trying to balance their need to store increasing volumes of data with the associated costs to their infrastructure.

IDC expects continued growth in data, with an estimate that the world will generate 163 zettabytes by 2025. The massive build up is being driven by technologies including machine learning, AI, IoT, video streaming, and augmented and virtual reality. Add digital transformation efforts into the mix and the requirements for data storage become even greater.

The straightforward answer is to the data sprawl problem is to add capacity. But that option is often made untenable by variables such as costs, next-generation workloads, increased amounts of unstructured data, and growth of the business and its locations.

Flash storage has quickly taken off, thanks to its ability to use less capacity with greater speed. Flash boosts performance and enables companies to reap benefits like reduced power consumption and consolidated apps per machine.

Initially quite expensive, flash storage had been used reservedly, such as for subsets of application data. Although improvements and efficiencies in the technology have resulted in lower prices, there are still cases where using hard disk drives (HDDs) is either more efficient or more economical. And this is why we’re now seeing the emergence of hybrid flash storage solutions.

Let’s take a look at the options.

All-flash arrays

Although much of the initial excitement for blockchain technology centered around bitcoin and financial services, it’s quickly showing applicability to other areas for increased business value.

For example, Walmart has invested in blockchain to improve its supply chain operations. In initial tests, the retailer says the technology reduced the time it takes to track food as it moves from farms to stores — from six days to two seconds.

That’s all due to the decentralized nature of blockchain. It’s often referred to as a distributed consensus model, consisting of nodes or blocks of encrypted information. Each node contains the exact same data and transaction history, and that information is secured with cryptographed hashes and digital signatures.

Digital transformation requires companies to be nimbler, more proactive, and more responsive to customers. Our always-on culture has begotten the need for always-available data.

Meanwhile, the tolerance for downtime continues to plummet. Whether it’s a bank customer conducting a financial transaction or a salesperson submitting an order, a processing delay is no longer acceptable. An interruption like this sets off an IT scramble to determine how to fix that “app-data gap” — i.e., what’s causing delays in data delivery to applications.

To alleviate the app-data gap and improve data-center operations, many organizations have turned to flash storage, which speeds delivery and improves performance. And while it does provide much-improved efficiency and speed than traditional hard drive disk storage, flash alone doesn’t solve other problems like configuration and interoperability issues that cause the app-data gap.

The emergence of data-heavy applications such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and the Internet of Things (IoT) has upped the enterprise storage ante. Combined with the data in apps used daily to run the business, the limits of storage are being stretched.

Yet having to continually procure storage capacity doesn’t make sense; forward-looking CIOs and IT decision makers must future-proof their investments. Here’s what to consider.

• Performance

Digital business will constantly evolve, meaning organizations will need to deploy applications and services as business needs change or new objectives emerge.
