Data Growth and Data Aging Worst Ransomware Strains Warm moderately active ~ 35% Cold inactive ~ 50% Hot active ~ 15%

Storage Sizing based on HDD Customer requirement: 150TB Tier-1 Storage 40.000 IOPS Because: Offloading old and cold data will free up capacity but still 240 HDD’s are needed to meet IO performance requirements Cold data doesn’t need any disk performance Flash Cache Flash Pool Should cold data get offloaded? File Activity ….. It depends, but probably not ….. 312 Disks 240 Disks 144 Disks 312 Disks x 900 GB SAS = 250TB usable 282 Disks x 150 IOPS / Disk = 42.300 IOPS 240 Disks x 900 GB SAS = 180TB usable 144 Disk x 6 TB SATA = 700TB usable

Flash Storage changed the Game Customer requirement: 150TB Tier-1 Storage 40.000 IOPS Because: Offloading old and cold data will reduce the primary storage capacity and you still overachieve the IO performance requirements Cold data can be stored on low cost storage and doesn’t need IO performance anyway DataOptimizer Should cold Data get offloaded? Worst Ransomware Strains ….. ….. 24 Disks YES!!! 48 Disks 144 Disks Safe 50% Capacity and still overachieve IO requirements! 24 Disk x 3,8 TB SSD = 80TB usable 48 Disk x 3,8 TB SSD = 160TB usable 144 Disk x 6 TB SATA = 700TB usable

Because Data is Aging ….. ….. 24 Disks 144 Disks Migrate old and cold data from the Performance Tier to Capacity Tier Because data is aging! hot today hot today cold tomorrow DataOptimizer ….. 24 Disks ….. 144 Disks Data Aggregat 0 cold tomorrow Data Aggregat 1

Capacity Upgrade on primary Storage? Don’t upgrade capacity on primary storage cold in-active ~ 50% Flash Cache warm moderately active ~ 35% Flash Pool Data grow Data grow hot active ~ 15% Data grow DataAnalyzer Disk Upgrade?

Offload cold Data from Primary Storage Offload old and cold data Don’t upgrade capacity on primary storage DataOptimizer

Get all flash ready Only 50% flash capacity is needed for your NEW primary Storage A300 / A700 All Flash Storage warm / hot data cold data

Easy Installation DataOptimizer Software Solution Windows Server VMware HA copy Primary Secondary move stubbing SATA

Transparent Data Access Classifying files to be moved (tiered) 1 Copying classified files 2 Replacing original file with stub file 3 Accessing stubbed files through primary storage 4 1 4 5 Providing file to application / user with “pass through read” 5 2 SATA 3

Features / Benefits NetApp to NetApp policy based file tiering Transparent to Users and Applications No changes on applications are needed Move data from SSD to low cost SATA or Cloud Storage Stubbing on primary storage and path through data access Multitenancy by separated Storage Vaults Standardised formats and protocols (UDF, RESTful, HTTP, …) Support for CIFS and NFS configurations Support for ONTAP 7-Mode and Cluster-Mode (cDOT) Low latency Data caching Optimised handling of FPolicy requests Very low protocol overhead

Transparent view and access for users and applications Summary DataOptimizer Flash is now!!! 50% Potential of old and cold Data But still too expensive for old and cold data! on-premise low cost SATA Reduce backup restore time! Transparent view and access for users and applications

DataOptimizer vs. FabricPool   ProLion DataOptimizer NetApp FabricPool Support for ONTAP 7.x, 8.x, 9.x Support for 7-Mode and CDOT YES No only ONTAP 9.2 or higher Support for CIFS Protocol No S3 only offload "cold" file-content No SnapShots only Offload data from NetApp MetroCluster No MetroCluster not supported Support for file migration (copy to destination / delete file on source) No Supports NetApp FAS systems as destination storage Granular configurable policies based on file-types, -age, -size, etc. Transparent user access to archived data

...we go the extra mile...
