Solutions Scenarios:
Issue:
Server Management - Consolidation
What type of data storage do you currently
have (SAN, DAS, NAS)? Do you have to
continually add capacity to some servers
while other servers have unused capacity
going to waste? How many servers are you
managing? What type of applications and
operating systems do you have? How much
capacity are you managing currently? How
much growth do you anticipate?
Scenario # 1
iSCSI SAN
Event:
When planning for future
capacity growth
Question:
would it help if
Player:
you
Action:
could allow all servers to access
a shared pool of storage rather
than using individual server
resources?

Issue:
Disaster Recovery Requirements
Do you have a Disaster Recovery Plan in
place? What is it? What regulatory/compli-
ance issues do you and your company face
today (SOX, HIPPA)? How are you currently
storing your data at both your Primary and/
or secondary sites, (SAN, DAS, NAS)? What
are the storage capacity requirements at each
location? What size WAN link will be used
between locations?
Scenario # 2
Replication
Event:
When implementing a Disaster
Recovery Plan
Question:
would it help if
Player:
a storage provider
Action:
could also provide replication
capabilities with no expensive
channel extension equipment,
add-on software, or costly staff
training needed?

Objection Resolution
"I need Fibre Channel"
This is usually a performance argument. However,
controller efficiency and the number of disks, rather
than the bandwidth of your network connectivity or
type of disk connectivity, are the typical bottlenecks
for most business applications. iSCSI lets businesses
utilize existing skills and network infrastructure to
create IP-based SANs that deliver the performance of
Fibre Channel, but at a fraction of the cost
Benefits of iSCSI
•
Simplified deployment and management: storage
networks can be set up quickly with minimal effort
•
Enables cost-effective, scalable, secure, and
highly-available SANs
•
Utilizes existing management skills and network
infrastructure
•
Delivers excellent performance
•
Provides interoperability using industry standards
•
Implemented by the leading server, storage, and
network providers
•
Available for 10GbE vs. 4GbE FC
Issue:
Storage Growth Requirements
How much faster is your storage requirement
growing than your server requirements? What
is your current storage capacity? What is the
estimated storage capacity you will need in
the next year? Are you looking to increase the
size of your SAN, more fabrics and more ports
or just ports, in the next 2 years? What types
of applications and operating systems do you
have? Which applications are mission critical?
What performance requirements
are associated with those
applications? Do you have a
storage tiering strategy?
Scenario # 3
Scalability (Tiered Storage)
Event:
When implementing additional
storage capacity to meet growing
requirements
Question:
would it help if
Player:
you
Action:
could physically and logically com-
bine arrays to configure storage
pools or tiers to optimize perfor-
mance and capacity according to
application-specific demands?

Issue:
Back Up Complexity
How is your back up done now? How long is
your back up window? How does that affect
your IT staff? How many employees are in
your IT organization? How confident are you
that you can restore data to the way it was
before a crash, virus, bug, upgrade or mistake?
Scenario # 4
Back up & Recovery
Event:
To shorten back up windows
Question:
would it help if
Player:
you
Action:
could take Snapshots of your
data to virtually eliminate the
back up window along with hav-
ing the ability to instantaneously
restore your data?

Top Sales Tactics
Conduct an on-site demo
•
Additionally, challenge competitors to do the same
so prospects can experience the added complexity of
the competitor's solution
Proposals:
•
Dell is cost-effective when evaluating TCO and
comparing competitor's software and maintenance
costs. Ask for an apples to apples quote including
years 4/5 maintenance costs
•
Focus on cost for capacity and performance, not raw
GB and raw spindle
