Disruptive Innovation • Term coined by Clayton Christensen in his book The Innovator's Dilemma to denote a technology that – aside (or because of) its technical merit has revolutionary economics • Classic examples: > Digital photography disrupted film > Steamships disrupted sailing ships > Minicomputers disrupted mainframes > EMC (with RAID- & cache-based storage) disrupted IBM in DASD > Linux/x86 disrupted UNIX/RISC • Often involve a redistribution of margin: lower overall margin but much higher volume and broader market Sun Confidential: Internal Only 2
Why is the S7000 Series disruptive? • Over time, the value in a storage product has trended from hardware to software... • ...but storage hardware has remained unnecessarily custom (i.e., expensive and slow) • Sun has built an appliance out of industry standard components (servers + JBODs): higher performing, cheaper (servers + JBODs): higher performing, cheaper • ...and because COGS of software is $0.00, Sun need not monetize the software directly – software development costs can be paid with marginal increase in revenue • Adds up to disruption: 2X performance at ½ cost • The 7000 Series would have been disruptive based on these economics alone, but along came flash memory...

The disruptive effects of Flash • Flash memory now sits between DRAM and 15K RPM disk in terms of performance and price: > Flash is microseconds per op, where DRAM is nanoseconds and disk is milliseconds > Flash is tens of dollars per GB, where DRAM is hundreds of dollars per GB and disk is dollars per GB • Seeing this trend, we integrated flash into a hybrid storage pool , where read-optimized flash is used as a cache • Cache is up to 600GB in currently shipping products, but curves are steep: headed much higher (and much cheaper!) • For random-read workloads, flash + 7200 RPM drives yields 4X performance of 15K RPM drives at ¼ cost!
