1 Paul Hodge 25 Oct 2016 RUN FAST. NEVER STOP The Next Generation Virtual Platform

2 Premium Platform Refresh Initial Release of Premium Platform 6/30/2013 Upgrade to the drive subsystem 10/30/2014 End of standard warranty for current Premium Platform Honeywell announced its intention to refresh the platform 6/30/ /30/2015 End of maximum extended warranty for current Premium Platform 6/1/ Compact Reliable Simple Scalable 6/30/2016 Launch of next generation Premium Platform Same core value proposition is retained Honeywell and our partners are committed to the long term support of the current premium platform Supportable

3 What powers the Next Gen Platform? Dell FX2 (Hardware) VMware vsphere (Hypervisor) VMware Virtual SAN (Network Storage)

4 Parts of the FX2 FC630 Server Chassis FD332 Storage Block Management Module Power Supplies IO Aggregator PCIe Slots

5 Storage Sled Initial Honeywell config will be 2 SSDs and 6 regular drives per sled Has a capacity of 16 drives per sled Potential for additional future variations that will support very large storage requirements of DVM for example

6 Virtual SAN 5 Software-defined storage embedded in vsphere Pools HDD/flash into a shared datastore High performance through flash acceleration Highly resilient - zero data loss in the event of hardware failures Virtual SAN SSD Hard disks SSD Hard disks SSD Hard disks Virtual SAN Shared Datastore

7 1 2 3 Simple Scalable Supportable Reliable Compact

8 Simple Shared storage built into the hypervisor Pre-Installed Hypervisor and Virtual SAN Pre-Configured IP Microsoft Datacenter bundled

9 Simple Next Gen Chassis join together to form a Next Gen Cluster No complicated storage protocols or controllers to master No additional network top of rack Next Gen Chassis Next Gen Cluster

10 Scalable Modular design provides for future expansion options PCIe NICs delivers immense network flexibility

11 Scalable Storage in each next gen chassis is globally accessible The more chassis, the faster and larger the storage pool. 36 TB 12 TB Scale OUT Add more nodes Scale UP Add more Disks Capacity IOPS

12 Supportable Allows for the more cost effective used of long life warranty contracts Longer availability period than standard hardware Traditional 3-5 Years Premium Platform 3-7 Years Reducing Open Systems Churn

13 Supportable 12 Non disruptive maintenance Rebalance hosts while VMs are running Migrate from one generation of hardware to another with zero disruption and need to touch the VM. vmotion vmotion

14 Compact Density = Hardware Size + Performance 12 U 7 U 6 U Essentials Platform Current Premium Platform Next Generation Premium Platform Disk performance that is 20x faster than today

15 Compact Cooling Weight Space Power

16 Reliable Automatically recover from a faulty node or chassis Recover in minutes or instantaneously with Fault Tolerance Workloads are automatically distributed to remaining hosts

17 Reliable 16 Protect critical applications with fault tolerance No application modifications Zero downtime, Zero data loss. Primary Instantaneous Fast Checkpointing Failover Sync 4 vcpu 4 vcpu Secondary Primary ESXi ESXi
