1 1 FLASH.NEXT Zero to One Million IOPS in a Flash Ahmed Iraqi Account Systems Engineer North Africa

2 2 The Performance Gap CPU performance increases 100x every decade Hard disk drive performance has stagnated Xeon E Pentium Pro I/O Gap Hard Disk Drive IOPS/Spindle

3 3 Expectations Are Reset Forever

4 4 DATA IS GROWING

5 5 While At The Same Time Costs Must Be Contained Information Must Become An Asset Performance Must Be Delivered At Massive Scale

6 6 ONLY FLASH CAN MEET THESE EXPECTATIONS

7 7 Flash: Redefining The Possible 2000 IOPS/GB 4000X FASTER THAN HARD DRIVES 0.5 IOPS/GB Hard Disk Drive PCIe Flash

8 8 HOW DO WE BEST DEPLOY FLASH?

9 9 XtremSF Performance Efficiency Flexibility

10 10 Introducing EMC XtremSF Flexibility Broad Range Of emlc And SLC Capacities For Use As Local Storage Or With VFCache Performance Dramatic Improvements In Application Latency And Throughput Up To 1.13 Million IOPS Efficiency Best TCO Lowest Overhead, Highest Performance, Lowest Power Consumption, Best Density

11 11 The XtremSF Family All Cards Are HHHL Highest Density In The Industry XtremSF TB XtremSF TB XtremSF GB XtremSF GB UP TO 1,130,000 IOPS
