    This document discusses information storage systems. It begins by outlining the objectives of discussing why information storage is needed, what constitutes data and information, information storage technologies, challenges in information management, and information lifecycle management. It then defines data and information, describes how data is converted and stored, categorizes data as structured and unstructured, and discusses challenges in managing increasing amounts of information and the need to optimize storage. The document outlines components of a data storage infrastructure including applications, databases, servers, networks, and storage arrays. It also discusses information lifecycle management and how it can improve utilization, simplify management, maintain compliance, and lower costs by aligning infrastructure with data value over time.

    Information Storage System

    Submitted By Ni. Ki Cs 7th sem

    Objectives
    During our presentation, we will discuss on following topics: Why we need Information storage. What is Data and information. Information Storage Technology. Challenges in Information management. Information Lifecycle Management.

    Why Information Storage


    Digital universe The Information Explosion
    21st Century is information era Information is being created at ever increasing rate Information has become critical for success

    We live in an on-command, on-demand world


    Example: Social networking sites, e-mails, video and photo sharing website, online shopping, search engines etc

    Information management is a big challenge


    Organization seek to Store , Protect, Optimize and Leverage the information optimally.

    What is Data
    Collection of raw facts from which conclusions may be drawn

    Most data is being converted into a digital format


    Driven by user demand Facilitated by
    Increase in data processing capabilities Lower cost and increased speed of storage Affordable and faster networks

    Who creates data?


    Individuals Businesses
    Letter

    Digital Data

    Categories of Data

    Data can be categorized as either structured or unstructured data Structured: PDFs E-Mail Attachments Data Bases X-Rays Check Unstructured (80%) Spread Sheets Unstructured Manuals Instant Messages Forms Images Documents Images Forms Audio Web Pages Movies
    Contracts Rich Media Invoices

    Over 80% of enterprise Information is unstructured


    Structured (20%)

    Audio Video

    Define Information
    What do individuals/businesses do with the data they collect?
    They turn it into information Information is the intelligence and knowledge derived from data

    Businesses analyze raw data in order to identify meaningful trends


    For example: Buying habits and patterns of customers Health history of patients

    Storage
    Data created by individuals/businesses must be stored for further processing Type of storage used is based on the type of data and the rate at which it is created and used Examples:
    Individuals: Digital camera, Cell phone, DVDs, Hard disk Businesses: Hard disk, external disk arrays, tape library

    Storage model: An evolution


    Centralized: mainframe computers Decentralized: Client server model (Data spread across many servers) Centralized: Storage Networking (Hugh respositories)

    Storage Technology and Architecture Evolution

    LAN

    FC SAN

    Multi Protocol Router

    Internal DAS

    RAID Array

    IP SAN SAN / NAS

    Time

    The Core Elements


    Applications Databases Database Management System (DBMS) and the physical and logical storage of data Servers/Operating systems Networks (LAN and SAN) Storage arrays

    Example of a Data Center Infrastructure


    Local Area Network

    Storage Area Network

    Application User Interface

    OS and DBMS

    Database

    Consider an order processing system consisting of: Application for order entry Database Management System (DBMS) to store customer and product information Server/Operating System (OS) on which the application and database programs are run Networks that provide
    Connectivity between Clients and the Application/Database Server (LAN) Connectivity between the Server and the Storage system (SAN)

    Storage Array database is stored on physical disks in the storage array

    Process Flow
    A customer order is entered via the Application User Interface on a client. The client accesses the server over a Local Area Network A DBMS uses the operating system on the server to read and write this data to the physical location on a disk A dedicated Storage Area Network provides the communication link between the server and the storage array, and transports the read/write commands and data between the server and the storage array A storage array receives the read/write commands and data from the server and performs the necessary operations to store the data on the physical disks

    Challenges in Managing Information


    Exploding digital universe
    Multifold increase of information growth

    Increasing dependency on information


    The strategic use of information plays

    Changing value of information


    Information that is valuable today may become less important tomorrow.

    Some Constraints to Meeting the Requirements


    Constraints include: Cost Physical environment Maintenance and support Compliance regulatory and legal Hardware and software infrastructure Interoperability and compatibility

    Management Activities
    Data Center management activities include: Provisioning/Capacity/Resource Planning Monitoring Reporting

    Information Lifecycle Management


    Protect

    New order Value

    Process order

    Deliver order

    Warranty claim

    Time

    Fulfilled order

    Aged data

    Warranty Voided

    Create

    Access

    Migrate

    Archive

    Dispose

    A proactive strategy that enables an IT organization to effectively manage the data throughout its lifecycle

    Information Lifecycle Management Process


    Policy-based Alignment of Storage Infrastructure with Data Value

    AUTOMATED
    Classify data / applications based on business rules Implement policies with information management tools Integrated management of storage environment Organize storage resources to align with data classes

    FLEXIBLE

    Benefits of Implementing ILM


    Improved utilization
    Tiered storage platforms

    Simplified management
    Processes, tools and automation

    Simplified backup and recovery


    A wider range of options to balance the need for business continuity

    Maintaining compliance
    Knowledge of what data needs to be protected for what length of time

    Lower Total Cost of Ownership


    By aligning the infrastructure and management costs with information value.
