The terms “data” and “information” are closely related and it is common for the two to be used

interchangeably. However, it is important to understand the difference between the two. Data, by

itself, is simply a collection of facts that needs to be processed for it to be useful. For example a

set of annual sales figures of an organization is data. When data is processed and presented in a

specific context it can be interpreted in a useful manner. This processed and organized data is

called information. For example, when the annual sales data is processed into a sales report, it

provides useful information, such as the average sales for a product (indicating product demand

and popularity), and a comparison of the actual sales to the projected sales. Information thus

creates knowledge and enables decision-making.

As discussed previously, processing and analyzing data is vital to any organization. It enables

organizations to derive value from data, and create intelligence to enable decision-making and

organizational effectiveness. It is easier to process structured data due to its organized form. On

the other hand, processing non-structured data and extracting information from it using

traditional applications is difficult, time-consuming, and requires considerable resources. New

architectures, technologies, and techniques (described in Module 2, ‘Third Platform Technologies’)

have emerged that enable storing, managing, analyzing, and deriving value from unstructured

data coming from numerous sources.

Module 1: Introduction to Information Storage

In a computing environment, storage devices (or simply “storage”) are devices consisting of non-

volatile recording media on which information can be persistently stored. Storage may be internal

(for example, internal hard drive), removable (for example, memory cards), or external (for

example, magnetic tape drive) to a compute system. Based on the nature of the storage media

used, storage devices can be broadly classified as given below:

• Magnetic storage devices: For example, hard disk drive and magnetic tape drive.

• Optical storage devices: For example, Blu-ray, DVD, and CD.

• Flash-based storage devices: For example, solid state drive (SSD), memory card, and USB

thumb drive (or pen drive).

Storage is a core component in an organization’s IT infrastructure. Various factors such as the

media, architecture, capacity, addressing, reliability, and performance influence the choice and

use of storage devices in an enterprise environment. For example, disk drives and SSDs are used

for storing business-critical information that needs to be continuously accessible to applications;

whereas, magnetic tapes and optical storage are typically used for backing up and archiving data.

The different types of storage devices are covered in Module 3, ‘Data Center Environment’.

In enterprise environments, information is typically stored on storage systems (or storage

“arrays”). A storage system is a hardware component that contains a group of

homogeneous/heterogeneous storage devices assembled within a cabinet. These enterprise-class

storage systems are designed for high capacity, scalability, performance, reliability, and security

to meet business requirements. The compute systems that run business applications are provided

storage capacity from storage systems. Storage systems are covered in Module 4, ‘Intelligent

Storage Systems (ISS)’. Organizations typically house their IT infrastructure, including compute

systems, storage systems, and network equipment within a data center.

Module 1: Introduction to Information Storage

A data center is a dedicated facility where an organization houses, operates, and maintains back-

end IT infrastructure including compute systems, storage systems, and network equipment along

with other supporting infrastructure. A data center centralizes an organization’s IT equipment and

data-processing operations, and is vital for carrying out business operations.

A data center typically comprises the following:

• Facility: It is the building and floor space where the data center is constructed. It typically has

a raised floor with ducts underneath holding power and network cables.

• IT equipment: It includes equipment such as compute systems, storage systems, network

equipment and cables, and cabinets for housing the IT equipment.

• Support infrastructure: It includes all the equipment necessary to securely sustain the

functioning of the data center. Some key support equipment are power equipment including

uninterruptible power sources, and power generators; environmental control equipment

including fire and water detection systems, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC)

systems; and security systems including biometrics, keycard, and video surveillance systems.

An organization may build a data center to provide open access to applications over the Internet,

or for privately executing business applications within its operational environment. A data center

may be constructed in-house and located in an organization’s own facility, or it may be

outsourced, with equipment being located at a third-party site. Large organizations often maintain

multiple data centers to distribute data-processing workloads and for disaster recovery.

Organizations are increasingly focusing on energy-efficient technologies and efficient management

practices to reduce the energy consumption of data centers and lessen the impact on the

environment. Such data centers are called as “green data centers”.

Module 1: Introduction to Information Storage

The activities carried out to ensure the efficient functioning of a data center can be broadly

categorized under the following key management processes:

• Monitoring: It is a continuous process of gathering information on various resources in the

data center. The process involves monitoring parameters such as configuration, availability,

capacity, performance, and security of resources.

• Reporting: It is a process of collating and presenting the monitored parameters such as

resource performance, capacity, and utilization of resources. Reporting enables data center

managers to analyze and improve the utilization of data center resources and identify

problems. It also helps in establishing business justifications and chargeback of costs

associated with data center operations.

• Provisioning: It is the process of configuring and allocating the resources that are required to

carry out business operations. For example, compute systems are provisioned to run

applications and storage capacity is provisioned to a compute system. Provisioning primarily

includes resource management activities to meet capacity, availability, performance, and

security requirements.

• Planning: It is a process of estimating the amount of IT resources required to support

business operations and meet the changing resource requirements. Planning leverages the

data collected during monitoring and enables improving the overall utilization and performance

of resources. It also enables estimation of future resource requirements. Data center managers

also determine the impact of incidents and devise contingency plans to resolve them.

• Maintenance: It is a set of standard repeatable activities for operating the data center. It

involves ensuring the proper functioning of resources and resolving incidents such as

malfunctions, outages, and equipment loss. It also involves handling identified problems or

issues within the data center and incorporating changes to prevent future problem occurrence.
