DELL STORAGE IN 2008
Growing fast in growth markets
#1 in iSCSI units
#1 in Windows/Linux storage
Growing 67% faster than the overall storage market
Growing 92% faster than the Windows/Linux storage
market
…with respected products
EqualLogic PS5000 Series
Uniquely simple virtualized iSCSI SANs
Dell | EMC CX3/4 SAN family
Industry leader in Fibre Channel SANs

Data Source: Gartner Qstats May 2008
WHY iSCSI IS IMPORTANT TO
VIRTUAL INFRASTRUCTURES
Simplifies Networked Storage
– Uses more affordable hardware and
existing infrastructure
– Leverages ubiquitous networking knowledge
iSCSI
SAN
Enhances Consolidation ROI
– Simplifies virtual server deployments
– Reduces acquisition, deployment, and
ongoing management costs
Enables a Simple Virtualized Storage
IDC's Top Storage
Architecture
Predictions for 2008:
– Natively supports virtualization primitives
– Allows scalable, flexible networked storage Virtual servers will
grid implementations emerge as the killer
– Load balances across all SAN resources application for
iSCSI

AUTO-SNAPSHOT MANAGER / VMWARE EDITION New
BUNDLED DATA PROTECTION WITH EQUALLOGIC PS SERIES SANS
Automated, Consolidated VM Backup and Recovery
• High performance, space-efficient online data protection
• Hypervisor-aware, scalable SAN-based solution
• Reduced space overhead & enhanced ESX performance
• Fast recovery of VMs and VMFS DataStores
• Easy to navigate GUI with SAN & VMware-centric views
• Snapshot policies logically assigned to VM hierarchies
“With ASM/VE, I can automate the
virtual machine backup process and
recover a lot faster with a simple,
integrated feature.”
Cody Page, IT Director
Peterson Sullivan PLLC CPA
HOW ASM/VE WORKS
To take a snapshot of all VM’s
in a VMFS
Query VC to identify all VMs ESX Server
Virtual Center
in VMFS
Query VC to identify SAN SAN
volume VMFS is based on Fabric
For each VM, command VC
to take a VM snapshot
(i.e., put each VM in snapshot mode)
Command EQL to take SAN- VMFS-1 vmdk1

based snapshot of VMFS

For each VM, command VC
