3 Agenda Storage challenges Addressing storage challenges with StorSimple StorSimple 8000 series Overview Demo & Use cases Summary

4 Storage challenges Rapid data growth - 40% YoY * Storage cost and infrastructure sprawl Complex data protection & recovery Resource constraints Storage Today = Complex & Expensive * Source: EMC Digital Universe with Research and Analysis by IDC, 2014

5 Addressing storage challenges with StorSimple Storage Today Microsoft Azure StorSimple Primary Storage Manage data growth Lower storage costs Archival Storage Disk-based Backup Remote Replication StorSimple Simplify data protection and disaster recovery Increase business agility Tape backup and DR Reduce storage costs by 40-60%

6 StorSimple 8000 Series Overview

7 Fundamental value of StorSimple StorSimple connects Windows, Linux and VMware servers to Azure Storage in minutes with no application modification Customer Data Center Applications in Physical or Virtual Servers Enterprise SAN storage Inline de-dupe, compression & automatic tiering StorSimple Automated offsite data protection using cloud snapshots Highly efficient, location independent disaster recovery

9 Fault tolerance of enterprise class storage Dual Controllers Software Feature Protects Against? How it works? Controller failover Protection against the failure of a controller. The dual controllers are active/passive. In the event the active controller fails the passive controller automatically takes over. NVRAM mirrored across controllers via NTB. Storage Spaces Protection in the event of one or more drive failures. Disk insert into and removal from pools. Redundant Power Supplies Network Interfaces Nondisruptive software upgrades (NDU) Allows updates to be made to the operating system without taking downtime. The software is downloaded and updated on each controller. One controller is up at all times to continue processing and serving data.

27 StorSimple customer testimonials Zac Saunderson, Network Engineer Rand Morimoto, President Wes Owen, Senior IT Performance Manager Cynthia Weaver, Vice President of IT The addition of the StorSimple Virtual Appliance is a major game-changer. We no longer need to copy data over landlines, making the data protection process much more fluid, flexible and economical. StorSimple 8000 Series greatly simplifies both the data protection and disaster recovery functions. The new StorSimple Manager allows you to manage both physical and virtual appliances from the same console. StorSimple has far exceeded expectations by cutting our incremental storage and archiving costs by 90% with no loss in performance. We needed to find a cost-effective new technology that could help us cope with explosive data growth. With StorSimple and Microsoft Azure hybrid cloud storage, we found exactly what we were looking for.
