Driving Costs Down & Performance Up with Advanced Technologies

The Hierarchy of Needs

The game is changing…FAST! FASTER…CHEAPER…BETTER is being replaced by NOW – FREE – PERFECT ! Do more with less…Drive down costs! ….but make sure you keep up with Security, Compliance, Audits….and deliver great performance to your clients! Hyper-Converged Infrastructure Q: How are you going to keep up?

A: Innovation & Disruption

SimpliVity Overview Founded in 2009 in Westborough, MA: 3.5 years of development All code purpose built and “home grown” Pioneer in Hyperconverged Infrastructure Mission: To Simplify IT $276m in Venture Funding; Series D Public IPO Plans for 2016 $1B Valuation: Tech “Unicorn” Premier investors: Q3 2015 Highlights 250% year-over-year revenue growth More than 50% of sales outside of U.S. 700+ employees worldwide, 350% year-over-year growth More than 2500 systems deployed 600+ customers

Hyperconvergence is the Future Orchestration Legacy IT Infrastructure The Hyperconverged Future Is Now Management Hypervisor All IT infrastructure below the hypervisor Servers Storage switch Deployed Anywhere HA shared storage SSD array Backup appliance WAN optimization Powered by Cloud gateway Storage caching What if you didn’t have to deal with all of that? What if you could just make your life easier. Imagine for a second that your IT environment was split in half: CLICK All IT above the hypervisor and all IT below it. CLICK (a bunch of times to fill in the left) Below, you’ve got the entire legacy stack or all of those 8-12 different appliances we talked about on the last slide producing that massive complexity and inefficiency. Imagine for a second, that instead The hyperconverged future is now. Imagine All IT below the hypervisor Deployed anywhere. On-premises, in the cloud, in your remote sites Running on x86 resources Powered by SimpliVity. Imagine if you could have everything on the left. EVERYTHING. At the cost and efficiency of the cloud, running anywhere, on commodity infrastructure, without tradeoff…giving you all of the capabilities and features that you’re used to in a small footprint. Imagine. How is that possible? Let’s show you how. Data Protection Apps

The Leap from “Traditional” to “Hyper-converged” Thomas Foresta Randolph Savings Bank

Environment Dell Equalogic SANs well past end of life Existing SAN management tools difficult to work with Heavy dependency on vendor for remote monitoring and expertise Data replication from primary to backup taking forever WAN not provisioned to facilitate SAN replication Limited support staff

Options Outsource – Infrastructure as a Service Traditional – ESX cluster with SAN + add on for backup EMC Dell Equalogic Hyper-converged Simplivity

Considerations Chosen technology solution needed to be current, preferably future looking Ability to scale was critical Ability to test systems Leverage existing investments in infrastructure (e.g. vmware) Short training curve for staff to take ownership More immediate and granular recovery ability than site recovery manager affords…and simpler

Decision Why Simplivity? Simple architecture Simple management (tab on existing tools) Granular recovery at server level, done in seconds Deduplication reduces bandwidth drain Cost …And since becoming a customer, top-notch service and support!
