Emerging Technologies V1A

Assignment A
Q1.) What are the benefits of using multiple HBAs on a host?

Q2.) Why do formatted disks have less capacity than unformatted disks?

Q3.) How can a block-level virtualization implementation be used as a data

migration tool?
Explain how data migration will be accomplished and discuss the advantages of using
this
method for storage. Compare this method to traditional migration methods.

Q4.) The marketing department at a mid-size firm is expanding. New hires are being
added to the
department and they are given network access to the departments files. IT has
given marketing a
networked drive on the LAN, but it keeps reaching capacity every third week.
Current capacity is
500 gigabytes (and growing), with hundreds of files. Users are complaining about
LAN response
times and capacity. As the IT manager, what could you recommend to improve the
situation?

Q5.) An application specifies a requirement of 200 GB to host a database and other

files. It also
specifies that the storage environment should support 5,000 IOPS during its peak
processing
cycle. The disks available for configuration provide 66 GB of usable capacity, and
the
manufacturer specifies that they can support a maximum of 140 IOPS. The application
is
response time sensitive and disk utilization beyond 60 percent will not meet the
response time
requirements of the application. Compute and explain the theoretical basis for the
minimum
number of disks that should be configured to meet the requirements of the
application.

Q6 A large company is considering a storage infrastructureone that is scalable and

provides
high availability. More importantly, the company also needs performance for its
mission-critical
applications. Which storage topology would you recommend (SAN, NAS, IP SAN) and
why?

Q7). An application has 1,000 heavy users at a peak of 2 IOPS each and 2,000
typical users at a
peak of 1 IOPS each, with a read/write ratio of 2:1. It is estimated that the
application also
experiences an overhead of 20 percent for other workloads. Calculate the IOPS
requirement for
RAID 1, RAID 3, and RAID 5

Q8). To access data in a SAN, a host uses a physical address known as a logical
block address
(LBA). A host using a CAS device does not use (or need) a physical address. Why?

Assignment B
Case Study
A hospital uses an application that stores patient X-ray data in the form of large
binary objects in
an Oracle database. The application is hosted on a UNIX server, and the hospital
staff accesses
the X-ray records through a Gigabit Ethernet backbone. Storage array provides
storage to the
UNIX server, which has 6 terabytes of usable capacity.

(a) Explain the core elements of the data center. What are the typical challenges
the
storage management team may face in meeting the service-level demands of the
hospital
staff?

(b) Describe how the value of this patient data might change over time.
