Part IBuilding Blocks, Power, and Consolidation
In Part I, we consolidate server direct attach storage, improve on single tier storage, and discuss unrelenting demand growth for performance capacity and the expenses related to hardware price (CapX), power (OpX), management (OpX), data aging (OpX), and data center outgrowth (CapX). We demystify both the technology and the business aspects of storage performance, replication, backup/recovery/archival, and storage virtualization.
Part I establishes a baseline for single-tier storage using critical ratios for performance, capacity, cost, and power as well as data aging (these same ratios will be compared for multitier and cloud storage architectures).
