  1. Do More. Save More.Non-Stop, Lightning-Fast,Waste-Free SANs April 2009

  2. Non-Stop, Lightning-Fast, Waste-Free SANs

  3. 3 Virtualization ranks as the No. 1 strategic technology for this year, not for its ability to virtualize servers, but for its increasing capability to virtualize just about everything else in a data center...in storage, for instance, virtualization allows users to "to combine different kinds and generations of storage technology.“ Virtualization is Strategic

  4. 4 DataCore Solutions

  5. 5 • Consolidate & Optimize Your Storage by 60% Get full use of what you own, purchase storage on ‘as needed basis’ Save on floor space, capacity costs and energy • Lower Initial and On-going Costs by 50% plus and Future Proof Your Storage Investments Value protection upgradability – pay as needed Future proofing - enduring Software, lives beyond the hardware • Slash Business Downtime Costs (From Weeks to minutes or zero) Cost-effective solutions make HA and DR practical More Productivity - ‘True High-Availability” Business Protection • Enhance Performance (2-4X) & Improve Admin Productivity (3-10X) Automation, SAN-wide Centralized Management, Thin Provisioning Do more in the same timeframe – Accelerate Performance 2-4X! DataCore = Savings and Productivity

  6. 6 Storage Virtualization & the Economy "It's a lot easier for customers to put off the purchases of servers, some software and applications, and even desktops than it is to put off storage purchases. Once a company moves into the digital world ... information just piles up. You've got to have some place to put it." “Software - do more with less” “Storage Virtualization let’s you get the most from your existing investments.” “ DataCore Software...I see their storage virtualization software today offering even greater value in the context of the recessionary economy.” - Jon Toigo, Storage Industry Analyst

  7. Better Storage Capacity Utilization: Thin Provisioning/Reclamation, etc. DAS = 25%-40% (i.e., 60% to 75% of storage assets are wasted) SAN = 85%-90% DataCore = Maximum Utilization! Faster Performance & Lower Admin & Environmental Costs: Accelerate performance 2-4X: Get more work done faster! Simplify Management: Universal Commands, Automation, etc. Ratio of DAS to SAN costs = 3 to 10X Better Productivity Pooling of cost-effective storage = Choice of Savings Do More with Less in the same given time. Avg. Admin Burdened Cost = $75,000+ More Uptime – SANs dramatically increase availablity: Auto Failover/Failback, Disk Backups, CDP, etc, Average revenue lost per employee-hour is $275.00 100 employee impact = $27,500 per hour DAS = 98.0% uptime (60 hours/yr downtime) SAN = 99.9%+ uptime (1hour/yr downtime or less) Savings & ROI from DataCore Virtual SANs vs Traditional Direct Attached Storage (DAS)

  8. 8 Storage growth never stops… High-Availability SAN are critical to protect against“all the eggs in one basket” impact of virtual server consolidation… Virtualization magnifies I/O load… High Cost of traditional SAN limit and delay Virtual Server deployments… Virtualization & SAN

  9. 9 Sweet Spot – ‘High-Availability SAN for SMB’ “DataCore does high-availability better… making business continuity and disaster recovery solutions practical" • Simple Fail-safe SAN data protection • Unique Automatic Failover and Failback • Priced right for Small and Mid-size Business • Full-featured HA SAN software from $10,000 • No-penalty upgradability and “future proofed” growth path Business Continuity DataCore does high-availability better…

  10. Before Server Virtualization: Physical Isolation ~15 Users ~30 Users ~20 Users • Few people depend on each physical resource • Hardware changes more confined ~35 Users ~30 Users

  11. After: Concentrated Workloads 5X MoreUsers Physical Server VirtualMachines

  12. Magnifies impact of: I/O Bottlenecks Interruptions Result: Pronounced Dependency on Storage 5X MoreWorkload Physical Server Shared Resources VirtualMachines

  13. 13 DataCore accelerates Storage I/O… • Cost Effective & Fast Caching and Load Balancing DataCore does high-availability better… • Simple Fail-safe SAN data protection • Insulate Failures Transparent to Applications • Unique Automatic Failover and Failback • Priced right for Small and Mid-size Business • Full-featured HA SAN software from <$10,000 • No-penalty upgradability and “future proofed” growth path Overcome I/O bottlenecks & Business Disruptions

  15. 2X Performance Perform twice the work in the same given time Waste-Free Double disk utilization 40% 80%+ 4 Unmatched Price Performance 1 Consolidation Storage Pooling Thin Provisioning DataCore: Value, Cost Savings and R.O.I. 10X More managed capacity per administrator Slash Downtime attributed to storage 2 3 Centralized Management & Automation Auto Failover/Failback Business Continuance Disk-to-Disk Backups Disaster Recovery

  16. Case In Point Customer Challenge: $200,000 budgeted for virtual infrastructure. Surprised to learn that SAN alone cost over $190K Solution: Business Continuity within budget using DataCore • 300 Users • SQL Server, Exchange • 40 App Servers • Windows VMs • 10TB Police Station 10 Miles Co-location
