The SPEED Problem THE PROCESS THE PHYSICS DBA Creates copies and masks data Prototype Unit Test Build Integration QA Test UAT Tester requests copy. Tickets opened. Compute and storage is provisioned Change Management Request SLA 1 2 weeks SLA 1 week SLA 1 week Developer gets a masked copy Ex: The initial copy + 5 physical copies of 5TB over 1 Gbps will take 5 days Production Data First Copy COPYRIGHT 2015 ACTIFIO 7

Low Fidelity Data Leads to QUALITY Problems Unit Testing Works Great!! Integration Testing Works! QA Testing Works! It Does Not Work!!!!!!

Virtual DB as a Service Financial Services Global Retail and Investment Bank PROD DBs COPIES 14 Copies Per DB Avoided = 1.2 PB DB Data + 2 PB of storage growth avoided 9000 developers. Saved time equivalent to 875 developers = 1.5 M hours per year saved 85 DBAs saved 20,000 DBA hours within 12 months 30 Additional Dev Projects per year within existing budget Time To Value = 7 Months IRR = 294% Every $1.6 M investment in Actifio returned $22 M in value 73% resource benefits 27% hard savings 26 business case stakeholders DB, Storage, Operations, AppDev. 13 Executive Mgnt input Retail, Investment and Data Security 13
