  14. The University of Auckland Business challenge New Zealand’s leading university and research facility, The University of Auckland supports approximately 40,000 students and staff members. Facing expanding data storage requirements and inadequate data availability, the university’s IT organization set out to address these issues as part of a larger project to build out a new primary data center. “IBM’s vision of storage and storage virtualization matched our view of how it should be done.” “Virtualization has enabled us to remove a lot of the physical infrastructure, which means we’re not using as much power, we’re not using as much cooling. It has reduced our carbon footprint and lowered our operating costs while giving us room to grow.” Solution Fully virtualized IT infrastructure • VMware ESX Server • IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller • IBM System Storage DS4800, DS4100 Benefits • Reduced data center footprint through server consolidation • Improved storage utilization and reduced power and cooling costs • Improved application availability and centralized management • Reduced total cost of ownership of the IT infrastructure John Askew, system architect, The University of Auckland

  15. SAN Storage Pool Basic Disk Storage Virtualization Concept Array Pooling: SAN Volume Controller (SVC) Example SAN SAN Volume Controller From many independent arrays . . To a single/multiple pool/s of storage

  16. SAN SVC Node SVC Node SAN Volume Controller Architecture SAN Volume Controller (This is a “Node-Pair”) Logical • SVC is ‘In Band’. • All data goes through the SVC. • Consolidates function and adds speed. Physical • Servers and Storage still cabled directly to the SAN. • SVC cables to additional SAN ports.
