37 Why VPLEX for XtremIO (All Flash Array) VPLEX Expands XtremIO Support To Include AIX and Other Hosts Only VPLEX provides a way for AIX to connect to XtremIO today This opens up IBM shops as customers for XtremIO Expand X-bricks Without Disruption With VPLEX Putting VPLEX between hosts and storage allows IT to add XtremIO capacity and performance by adding X-bricks without disrupting application data access Tiering -Move Workloads To and From XtremIO Without Disruption Application data can be stored on spinning disk and non-disruptively moved to XtremIO when performance requirements demand it Provide Continuous Availability With VPLEX Array Mirroring Mirror data from XtremIO to XtremIO to protect against the loss of an array or even an entire site. Provide DVR capabilities for your data (roll-back & roll-forward) to protect against operational Failure, host side data corruption, or disaster recovery. VPLEX with RecoverPoint provides synchronous and asynchronous replication enabling operational and disaster recovery for XtremIO 37

38 Non-Disruptive Performance Management Alternate Scenario APP Host 1 APP Host 2 APP Host 3 APP Host 4 1. Host 1 and 3 both have a planned procedure requiring a large amount of storage performance. (e.g. large VMware import or high IOPS Oracle database process) 2. It is determined that an All-Flash-Array is needed in order to satisfy the performance requirement and also not to impact other customers on hybrid arrays during the procedure. 3. Non-disruptive migration of Host 1 to the All-Flash-Array, and procedure is completed. Hotel 1 Hotel 3 Hotel 2 Hotel 4 4. Non-disruptive migration of Host 1 back to original location on Storage Array Similar non-disruptive migration of Host 3 to All-Flash-Array and back to accomplish the high IOPS procedure. 38
