SanDisk Enters Enterprise Storage Solutions Market Completed acquisition of Pliant Technology, a leading developer of enterprise flash storage solutions, in May 2011 Forms SanDisk s Enterprise Storage Solutions business Strong line up of NAND-based Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) Enterprise SSDs Lightning 6Gb SAS Enterprise SSD PCIe solutions in development 5
Overview of Enterprise Storage Opportunity SITUATION Storage demands, performance requirements continue to increase while budgets are limited, power is limited, space is limited and green initiatives are rising in priority. QUESTION How to do more with less? WHAT S NEEDED Innovative products are required to change existing storage paradigms. SOLUTION Higher performance, lower cost, increased reliability, reduced power, and smaller footprint. 6
New Approach: Improved Efficiencies HDD-ONLY CONFIGURATION Higher RPM (10K/15K) Short stroke HDDs Smaller form factor drives Over-provision HDDs Lower capacity HDDs Stripped data for MB/s HYBRID CONFIGURATION Storage tiers Hot data on SSDs Dual port for performance Fewer devices for reliability High capacity HDDs DO MORE FOR LESS! 7
