Slow Applications
• 70% experience poor performance with
their most important apps
• 61% have experienced slow applications
after server virtualization
Due to Storage
• 77% have experienced I/O problems after
server virtualization

Performance Challenges with Applications

• 76% are either using, implementing or
evaluating Flash storage
• But, 16% of companies reported that
Flash did not accelerate applications
• Flash is still more expensive than HDD & is
wasted for “cold” data

Frequency of Data Access
Declines Over Time
Interest in Flash Storage is High
but not a Universal Cure for Performance

• 19% of companies have had storage
failures cause downtime
• Outages primarily due to human error
(61%) and facility problems (58%)
• Customers’ ratings of storage reliability
has gone down
• Downtime costs up to $427 per minute
Companies Suffer from Unplanned Downtime

GROWING SLOWLY
Data Doubles Every 2 to 4 Years
Data is Growing Much Faster Than Budgets
Sources: Storage Magazine / SearchStorage, Nasuni

• 64% have arrays from 3 or more storage vendors
• 30% want help managing more storage resources with the same staff
• 17% want to simplify managing mixed storage environment & increased storage efficiency
Silos of Data Lead to Wasted Capacity
and Management Complexity

• Applications run slow, impacting operations
• Storage I/O can’t keep up
• Downtime is expensive
• Storage has higher RTO than servers
• Budgets are tight, while data is growing quickly
• Storage spending is going to additional capacity
• Silos of storage prevent agility and simplicity
• Storage hardware is not interoperable
