3 Migration Stats 61% of projects migrated 3 or more systems 52% had effective data migration scoping 64% of projects used manual coding 46% of projects planned and forecasted effectively 43% of projects well governed and managed 62% of projects used phased migration strategy 36% of projects kept to forecasted budget 46% of projects delivered on time 69% of projects considered successful Source: Experian Data Migration Research Study 2017

4 Traditional Migration Challenges

5 Migration Challenges Knowledge Technology Lock-In Cloud Adoption Time Constraints Employee turnover Shadow IT Application Support Always new technologies Disparate systems Cost Architecture Mobility Exit strategy Resources Downtime Compliance

6 Traditional Migration Solutions

7 Manual Application Move PROs Fresh OS Installs Application Updates CONs Knowledge Application Support Resource Intensive Downtime Expensive

8 Storage Level Move PROs LUNs/VMs Moved Whole Knowledge Less Important Can be Performed Online CONs Difficult to Manage Downtime Greater Risk Lock-In No Testing Expensive

9 In-Guest Agent Solutions PROs VMs Moved Whole Knowledge Less Important Greater Control CONs In-Guest Agent Performance Impact Target VMs Needed Resource Intensive At Risk Testing Expensive

10 Zerto s Migration Solution

11 Zerto Solution Knowledge Technology Lock-In Cloud Adoption Time Constraints VPGs make application move simple Test before committing Storage agnostic Multiple hypervisors Public, private and hybrid cloud Conversion during replication Reverse replication AWS, Azure, IBM Cloud, and Cloud Providers Bandwidth throttling CDP Minimal downtime

12 Migration Process Initial replication is a background task (Can even be pre-seeded) Continuous Data Protection then occurs Places migration timing control back into your hands This process takes just minutes as no large data move needed We then recover to this checkpoint on the target side meaning zero data loss When the Move VPG process is initiated, the source VMs are shutdown & a checkpoint is then inserted in the journal Zerto is hardware agnostic enabling on-boarding of customers regardless of hardware in place Cross-hypervisor and inter-cloud protection further enhances this

13 Zerto Migration Use Cases Hybrid Cloud Mobility Private Cloud Migrations Any Storage, Multi-Hypervisor, Cross Hypervisor Zerto CSP Migrations Migrations to and from any Zerto CSP Public Cloud Migrations Migrate to and from Public Clouds Multi-Cloud Migrations Migrate Between Public Clouds

14 IT Resilience The ability to accelerate transformation by adapting to change, while protecting the business from disruptions

15 About Aaron s Aaron s engages in the sales and lease ownership and specialty retailing of furniture, consumer electronics, home appliances. Industry Omni-channel provider of lease purchase solutions Founded in 1955 Revenue Publicly traded - $4 Billion Locations companyoperated and franchised stores in 47 states and Canada

16 Migration Drivers Datacenter was experiencing heating and cooling issues Workload availability Wanted to get out of the datacenter business

17 Migration with Zerto 1 Datacenter Over 100 Applications Migrated 4 waves within 3 months 4x faster

18 Key Results Greatly reduced complexity, cost, and time to assimilate and migrate datacenter Guaranteed workload availability guaranteed by moving to colocation 30 mins for smallest migrations

19 Lessons Learned 1 Phased approach - Sort out dependencies and mappings 2 Migrations can be overwhelming but achievable with plan (and Zerto) 3 POC to build confidence 4 A solution like Zerto makes it simpler and and more seamless
