6 StarWind At-A-Glance Scale-Out File Server General overview Leading Storage Virtualization and iscsi SAN Software Designed for 2 most popular workloads: Hyper-V and SQL Provides easy to use file-based storage Ownership: Privately held since 2003 Product: StarWind storage virtualization software Users: 30,000+ customers in over 100 countries Headquarters: Burlington, MA, USA R&D office in Europe Support: Worldwide, 24x7x365 support Infrastructure Global Channel: Two-tier indirect sales channel, VARS & System Integrators Global Alliance Partners: Microsoft, VMware, Citrix, HP, IBM, Dell, VEEAM Scalable by design Boosts performance with RDMA (SMB Direct) Supports tiering, flash caching, and offline deduplication (using Storage Spaces and Windows Server functionality)

7 SMB 3.0 is a future network storage protocol Microsoft sees SMB 3.0 as a primary future storage protocol, iscsi is legacy. Reasons: iscsi spec is complex and controlled by community and SMB is fully maintained by Microsoft CSVFS has issues playing the clustered file system role MSFT sees more flexibility in scaling compute and storage layers independently by using commodity hardware SoFS provides a cost-effective way to scale existing FC and SAS infrastructures
