1. Syncsort Confidential and Proprietary – do not copy or distribute 1 Name Title 1 ECX Enterprise Catalog Syncsort Confidential and Proprietary – do not copy or distribute

2. What is ECX? ECX catalogs all your NetApp snapshots and files and lets you search for them It provides reports and analytics It monitors your protection status

3. Syncsort Confidential and Proprietary – do not copy or distribute Why Do I Need an Enterprise Catalog? Because you can’t find data in an easy and timely way! Unstructured data is exploding, growing 60-80% a year File environments number into the millions and billions The use of Snapshots is accelerating to provide fast and efficient data protection 3

4. Syncsort Confidential and Proprietary – do not copy or distribute Data Protection Complicates the Problem! Primary Storage Secondary Storage Tertiary/DR Storage Snapshots short retention SnapVault longer retention SnapMirror longest retention Multiple versions of files stored across snapshot history create an issue of file sprawl

5. Syncsort Confidential and Proprietary – do not copy or distribute ECX Catalogs Your Entire NetApp Enterprise ECX catalogs your entire snapshot history across all tiers ECX does not replace whatever you are using for data protection Catalogs snaps created by Powershell, OnCommand, SnapCreator, SnapManagers, SnapVault, SnapMirror, SnapProtect, etc.

6. Syncsort Confidential and Proprietary – do not copy or distribute Easy to Deploy and Configure 6 ECX deploys as a VMware virtual appliance and can be installed in 15 minutes No other servers or components required Adding nodes and cataloging policies is easy and intuitive

7. Syncsort Confidential and Proprietary – do not copy or distribute Search is Easy! Just enter the search term and hit go! Files, snapshots, LUNs, Volumes, Aggregates….

8. Syncsort Confidential and Proprietary – do not copy or distribute FAS1 Enterprise-wide Search Across All Disk Tiers In only seconds, ECX locates every instance of a file across entire snapshot history and all cataloged devices Primary Snapshots Secondary SnapVault Tertiary/Off-site SnapMirror Filexyz.doc Device:FAS1 Location: Snap1/Mydocs/docs… Filexyz.doc Device:FAS1 Location: Snap2/Mydocs/docs… Filexyz.doc Device:FAS2 Location: Snap1/Mydocs/docs… Filexyz.doc Device:FAS2 Location: Snap2/Mydocs/docs… Filexyz.doc Device:FAS3 Location: Snap1/Mydocs/docs… Filexyz.doc Device:FAS3 Location: Snap2/Mydocs/docs… ECX Search FAS2 FAS3

11. Syncsort Confidential and Proprietary – do not copy or distribute How old are my files? What types of files take up the most space? What and where are my largest files? File Analytics 11

12. Syncsort Confidential and Proprietary – do not copy or distribute Am I near a utilization threshold on LUNs, aggregates, qtrees, volumes? What snapshots take up the most space? What’s the big picture across all my disk? Storage Utilization 12

13. Syncsort Confidential and Proprietary – do not copy or distribute Are my volumes and qtrees properly protected? Are Snapshots, SnapVault, SnapMirror, SnapManager and OSSV working as expected? Am I overprotected anywhere? Protection Reporting 13

14. Syncsort Confidential and Proprietary – do not copy or distribute VMware Reporting How many VMs are unused (VM sprawl)? Are there any orphaned LUNs that are wasting space? Do I have old snapshots on my VMs?
