  2. Manage Protect Control Provision With: Minimum disruption Highest performance Least cost SANmelody 2.0 Solves Fundamental Storage Issues Compelling Value: Storage Network Services (Utility) + Record Performance Acceleration (eg, SATA disks), Powerful LAN (iSCSI) and SAN storage, Consolidates, Pools, and Serves Disks (Open ‘Auto –Grow’ Virtual Capacity Provisioning)

  3. Why SANmelody? Now more reasons… • Users get Open choice in disk, servers, and network • The cost savings and productivity of a Virtual SAN over Fibre Channel or LAN/Ethernet with iSCSI • The foundation for a flexible Virtual Infrastructure • Virtual Storage and Virtual Servers Make Sense! • Industry best price performance • Speed ups: Acceleration of disk storage I/O performance for transaction and video/streaming…Enhances SATA… • Unique “Open & Automatic Virtual Capacity” • Enterprise level Data Protection & Failover over iSCSI • Lowest-cost platform built to scale in performance and high-end disk services • Plus New Powerful Application Services & Capabilities….

  4. SANmelody Application Support Services SANmelody’s Powerful New Capabilities and Solution Services Simplify Storage Networking and Disk Management • Simplified Centralized Windows Volume Administration – Eliminate Steps • Consolidation of disk resources – Greater Flexibility • Supports Immediate use of pre-existing Volume data – Saving time • Windows Disk Data Migration made easy – Re-purpose or Move Rapidly • Simplified backup – Efficient Disk to Disk Backup & Disk to Disk to Tape • NAS/SAN co-existence – Best of Both Worlds • Non-disruptive use of SANmelody features – Power up all your disks! Harness the full power and capabilities of SANmelody!

  5. SANmelody Application Support Services Simplified Centralized Windows Volume Administration – Eliminate Steps Make your administration more Productive! • Central vs. distributed Windows volume administration • Create, manage and map Windows file systems • Windows Disk Manager used to create FAT or NTFS file systems • Managed directly by SANmelody • Map file system volumes to application servers • Consolidation of disk resources – Greater Flexibility • Migrate disparate Direct Attached Storage (DAS) disk hardware off of independent Windows Application servers and workstations to a centralized location managed by SANmelody Network services. Disks can continue to be used as is (mapped back to the owning application server) or re-purposed and re-configured into Virtual Capacity pools of available storage that will provide more effective use of the disk resources and provide wider use and access to these resources.

  7. SANmelody Application Support Services Supports Immediate use and access of pre-existing Volume data – Save time • Mount existing Windows data volumes • Consolidate external direct attached storage (DAS) that is currently connected to individual servers and workstations • Accelerate I/O performance of pre-existing data volumes and deliver to owning Windows Application Servers and Workstations over existing Ethernet NIC’s (iSCSI) orFibre Channel • Introduces the benefits of SAN technology and storage virtualization • Improve data redundancy • Create high availability • Migrate data to newer, faster or lower cost storage • Increase storage performance • All with one (1) reboot of servers and workstations SANmelody provides the ability to manage and immediately utilize ("As is" ) formatted (NTFS/FAT) Windows volumes. Being able to utilize formatted volumes (NTFS or FAT) allows the user the immediate use of pre-existing data that resides on the file system of that volume.

  9. SANmelody Application Support Services Windows Disk Data Migration made easy – Re-purpose or Move Rapidly • External Physical DAS is moved to SANmelody Server • SANmelody presents original volumes with existing data to owning application servers and workstations • Application servers run normal I/O loads to presented virtual volumes • Volumes can continue to be used or removed from service once data has been migrated • Re-purpose for other uses (Virtual Capacity pools that can be allocated to any server in the IP or SAN network • Retire from use • Windows file system data can be migrated transparently in real time • Host based mirrors • Synchronous Mirrors • Snapshot Complete Image

  13. SANmelody Application Support Services Simplify Your Backup Process – Gain Efficiency - Disk to Disk [D2D] Backup/Restore - Disk to Disk to Tape [D2D2T] Backup/Restore • Offloads User LAN traffic • Utilizes DataCore Snapshot technology • Easy delivery of volumes to the backup server • "Getting our backups back in control was the immediate need, but going forward the flexibility ofvirtual capacity makes a huge difference in managing the constant demand for more storage. SANmelody dramatically sped up disk performance by a factor of 3 times enabling the backup window to shrink by over 10 hours."- Ann Schneider, IT Director for WEC

  16. SANmelody Application Support Services Co-existence with NAS solutions • Accelerate your NAS (e.g., Microsoft Windows Storage Server) and at the same time create a SAN, all on the same storage server. • SANmelody delivers block level volume resources to co-existing NAS solution • Static Volumes • Virtual Capacity Auto Provisioned Volumes (NMV’s) • SANmelody accelerates NAS backend I/O operations • SANmelody applies higher level storage features for virtual volumes being delivered to the NAS engine. • Synchronous Mirrors • SnapShot • AIM • NAS delivers file level resources over LAN to users and applications servers • SANmelody delivers block level volumes over LAN (iSCSI) or SAN (FC)

  18. SANmelody Application Support Services Non-disruptive use of SANmelody features – Power up all your disks! • Easy to apply SANmelody features (performance and function) to volumes. • Volume performance is improved by SANmelody’s built-in cache acceleration. The volume can be delivered (mapped) to Application servers over the FC or IP infrastructure. • Synchronous mirrors can be configured so that the data is mirrored to a SANmelody partner in a high availability configuration. This provides continuous access to the data in case a failure occurs to the data volume. • The Snapshot features can be used to generate a point-in-time snapshot of the data volume. Then other applications can utilize the point-in-time version for offline work. • Asynchronous IP Mirrors can be used to transmit the volume to a remote site for disaster recovery or other remote site uses. • All features can be utilized non-disruptively in real time as the volume is being utilized by the owning application servers. • The administrator has the choice of "in the SAN or out" when required - no lock in, freedom to gain enhancements when needed.

  19. Real Utility and Network Storage Services • "This approach to growing disk capacity makes real sense, but has never been possible before. Now, Disk Servers have enabled storage to become a utility function in much the same way as a print or file server.“– IT Director, Warwick University • “SANmelody makes it possible to serve up high-performance and highly available storage.” • - CIO, Wasatch Advisors
