Acopia s Intelligent File Virtualization

1. Acopia�s Intelligent File Virtualization Break free from the constraints of today�s storage infrastructure

3. � Acopia Networks, Inc. Complex Mixed vendors, platforms, file systems Inflexible Access is tightly coupled to file location Disruptive to move data Inefficient Resources are under and over utilized Growing rapidly 70% annually (80% are files) The Constraints of Today�s Infrastructure

4. � Acopia Networks, Inc. Simplified access Consolidated, persistent access points Flexibility Data location not bound to physical resources Optimized utilization Balances load across shared resources Leverages technology Freedom to choose most appropriate file storage Virtualization Breaks the Constraints

5. � Acopia Networks, Inc. Must support a heterogeneous infrastructure Multi-vendor, multi-platform, multi-protocol Must support real-time policy enforcement �In-line� intelligence Must not limit performance or growth Faster than aggregate physical resources with scale for future Must ensure data integrity & accessibility No single point of failure Key Elements of Intelligent File Virtualization

6. � Acopia Networks, Inc. Acopia�s Intelligent File Virtualization Works with existing infrastructure Uses industry standard NFS / CIFS No forklift upgrades, new file systems or software agents Purpose-built for real-time policy enforcement Leverages IP / Ethernet network to monitor and adapt dynamically Highest performance and scale GB/sec vs. Mb/sec throughput billions vs. millions of files Enterprise-class availability Maintains service in the event of failures
