Tier 0 applications – Disaster Recovery – Domain Controller Relativity Analytics – Performance Test – kCura infrastructure – standard storage : 4 minutes – kCura infrastructure – tintri storage : 2 minutes – vCHS shared infrastructure : 3 minutes Not too shabby! vCHS Usage

Templated solution for easy client deployment for up to 100 users We offer this for Amazon, working on it for vCHS 3 web servers, 2 agents, 1 analytics, 1 file, 2 SQL, 3 processing workers, 1 utility box Performance testing is promising – Compared to internal test environment, within 10% of our specs. Some things faster, some slower. Relativity in the Cloud

vCloud Connector – Connect your on-premise vSphere, vCloud Director environments to vCHS vDC’s – Allows centralized management – Migrate/Copy vApps/VM’s between private/public clouds Data Center Extension – Previously known as “stretch deploy” – Stretch private network of VM or vApp to public cloud using layer 2 ssl vpn tunnel – VM appears to be on your private network, while using compute resources in vCHS cloud vCloud Connector

VMware will be rolling out Disaster Recovery as a Service built on vCHS London usage – Training and Special Events – “Safe Harbor” requirements – data testing Burst capacity for special events Internal Functional Test Environments (need to determine costs and benefits) Potential Future Use

Reliability – Maintenance Good notifications and communication from VMware Frequent Typically affects administration of VMs, but the VMs continue running without issue – Code bugs (caused the frequent maintenance) – Now more stable Support – Knowledgeable – Responsive – Helpful Lessons Learned

Pricing – Pay for compute based on monthly intervals 2TB storage - $340 / month Public IP address - $25 / month 5 GHz CPU, 20 GB RAM - $642 / month 10 Mbit internet connectivity - $229 / month – So, about $1500 a month for 5 GHz CPU and 20 GB RAM for shared compute resources – More expensive for dedicated resources – Different model than AWS and competitors Not true pay as you go, different business case than others? Lessons Learned
