8 StorSimple Cloud-integrated Storage
Leveraging on-site network speeds, but with hierarchical storage to the cloud This appliance has 20TB of On-Board Storage. Until it fills up it will never push anything to the cloud. Once it fills up it will at a block level start moving the data that is least used and move into Azure storage. Data will still be available in the cloud No retraining of the users no re-education. They can still access it the same way As it ages and once the appliance fills up it will start pushing out data to the cloud. Security-all data at rest and transit encrypted Archiving/Backup: DR

17 De-dupe and compression
Total data capacity required = 10TB Maximizes storage of ‘hot or warm data’ on- premise for higher IOPS and/or lower response times for application access. Minimizes size of data transfer and storage in Azure Works at the block-level and replaces duplicate data blocks with a meta data map (pointers to the original block) Data is de-duped in the SSD tier and compressed in the SAS tier before being tiered to Azure On-premise data capacity can be increased by 2x – 5x based on the type of data stored Backup de-dupe: Cloud snapshots are differential and thereby eliminate copies of redundant blocks across backups E F E F Data blocks A A B B D A C A D C C B D C D C 5x de-dupe ratio Data blocks Metadata map Capacity used = 2TB A + B C D E F De-duped Compressed

28 Security

29 Industry-leading Security for Cloud Storage
Multiple layers of obfuscation through the system Original data is broken to storage blocks Blocks are fingerprinted + deduplicated with data from other volumes Obfuscated blocks are stored in compressed form Encrypt everything before sending to Azure AES-256 CBC encryption is applied before transmission using customer key Additional SSL encryption of all data + meta-data operations with Azure Encryption keys stay only with customer Microsoft/StorSimple doesn’t have access to customer encryption keys Keys can be imported from customer’s secure key mgmt system or generated from pass phrases Encrypted / compressed / obfuscated blocks stored in Azure Data is secure even if account gets compromised Application Servers Local Data Broken into storage blocks, then: Obfuscated Deduplicated Compressed Blocks encrypted with customer key SSL communication: Authentication Metadata Data transfer Data in cloud Deduplicated Compressed Encrypted with customer key

30 Cloud Storage Access Security
Scenario 1: Access key got compromised Scenario 2: Storage admin employee leaves company Risk mitigation and best practices Compartmentalize information Azure subscription can have multiple storage accounts Recommended to use different storage accounts to compartmentalize info – e.g. per dept, project, role, etc. Periodical key rotation Each account has two 256-bit access keys  allows easy key rotation without service disruption Only requests with valid access keys are allowed to access stored blocks Data fragments accessed are still obfuscated and encrypted Frequent key rotation (e.g. every 90 days) is recommended Ad-hoc/emergency key rotation if a key is compromised StorSimple allows use of up to 64 storage accounts per system

31 Cloud Storage Data-at-Rest Security
Scenario 3: Cloud Provider decommissions server hardware or loses physical hard drives in maintenance process. Risk mitigation and best practices Data at-rest is obfuscated Data is broken to individual small blocks and fingerprinted to comprise a global de-duplication dictionary – no volume, file system or file context ~16 Million obfuscated blocks per 1TB of Azure storage, spread across multiple hard drives Data at-rest is encrypted StorSimple systems encrypt data stored in cloud with a customer-provided encryption key. Federal standard AES-256 encryption used. Up to 64 different encryption keys can be used in one appliance for data-at-rest isolation to complement access compartmentalization practice. Encryption key is derived from Customer Passphrase or Key generated by Key Management System. Only entered input is accessible in appliance UI. Microsoft or 3rd parties cannot read data when physical drives are lost, replaced, or repaired in Azure DC
