  1. Redefining Storage Economics September 2012 Kaushik Shirhatti, Director CTG

  2. Enabling Simplicity at Scale • Coraid was bootstrapped in Linux market starting 2004, adopted in Linux kernel in 2005 • Ethernet SAN technology: EtherDrive® • Price performance & simplicity vs. legacy storage • Elastic scale-out architecture ideal for big data, cloud • 2011: Coraid acquires Yunteq: EtherCloud™ • Software-defined Storage platform $85m in funding 10x growth in last 2.5 years 1,500+ Customers in 45+ Countries

  3. Coraid: 1500+ Customers 3

  4. EMEA Customers

  5. Storage Challenges A Legacy SAN Topology: Rigid, Expensive B Bottleneck: Dynamic Virtual Workloads Expensive HBAs, Static Workload Complex Multipathing Controlled Data Layout on Drives Server Cluster with VMotion Extremely Complex SAN Management Chaotic Data Layout on Drives: Head Contention • Static connections • Scale-up compute tied to scale up storage • Predictable application access profiles • Dynamic application to storage relationships • Scale-out compute infrastructure • Unpredictable, variable application access profiles 5

  6. Coraid EtherDrive: Scale-out Ethernet SAN EtherDrive: Dynamic Virtual Workloads EtherDrive Benefits Server Cluster with vMotion™ AoE EtherDriveStorage Arrays • 5-8x Price Performance Advantage • Faster than Fibre Channel • Massively parallel • 1/5th the Cost with off-the-shelf hardware • Operational Simplicity: • Eliminates complex topologies and multipathing • Simple recovery – Zero Hour Support • Scale-out • No controller bottleneck • Grow in-line with business demand Ethernet (1Gb / 10Gb) Massively Parallel 6

  7. Coraid EtherDrive EtherDrive Overview Storage building blocks for the modern programmable data center • Scale-out Ethernet SAN arrays • AoE: Layer 2 connectionless Ethernet • VDAS: Driver presents as local SCSI for Linux, Windows, Solaris, VMware • SRX-Series supports: • SATA/SAS/SSD - mix in same shelf • SATA: 1,800+ MB/sec throughput at under $0.50/GB • SSD: 200,000 IOPS (3M IOPS per rack) at under $8/GB 7

  8. Coraid Solutions – • SAN • NAS

  9. No Single Point of Failure Storage Architecture Mirrored Data 9

  10. Coraid ZX: Two Innovative Architectures Meet Coraid ZX is a feature-rich NAS appliance based on the Zettabyte File System (ZFS) and designed to work with Coraid EtherDrive block storage ZFS File System Ethernet SAN • Faster than Fibre Channel • Commodity Hardware Economics • Scale-out Architecture • Flexible deployment options • Simple to configure, deploy and maintain • Enterprise features • Pooled storage model • Highly scalable (128 bit) • Thin Provisioning • Deduplication • Compression • Snapshots and Clones • Replication • HA Clustering

  11. EtherCloud Features • 1-Click Provisioning • EtherCloud with VMware ESXiand XenServer • Storage Automation • Storage Profiles and Repositories • Templates, Metering, Service Objectives • Multitenancy • LDAP/Active Directory Authentication • Groups and Permissions • Full REST API • Programmable Datacenter via HTTPS
