All-in-One Small and mid-size companies face unique challenges when it comes to storage… Customer Challenges
7
Data storage is out of control: E-mail growth (MS Exchange), regulatory requirements, and data protection is driving massive data proliferation and storage growth. Servers running out of capacity: companies add more DAS or more servers – easy to do, but is not cost effective and is difficult to manage, grow, and protect. Lack of resources: SMBs have stayed away from network storage because of cost and complexity. SMBs lack storage expertise: Current solutions work at the storage layer but IT managers work at the application layer. SMBs want the guidance of a trusted advisor Customer Challenges The current state of the SMB customer
8
Clients Exchang e SQL Server Customer Challenges IT works at the application level Application view: Administrators work with their applications and think about Exchange Storage Groups, Databases, File Shares, etc.. File Servers As they grow, servers run out of capacity… Need additional file servers to meet end-user demands…
9
Clients Customer Challenges Growth options with DAS are limited DAS Issues: Servers proliferate and adding more direct attached storage is inefficient, creating storage ‘islands’ of wasted capacity File Servers Exchang e SQL Server Can be difficult to manage, grow, and protect… JBOD
10
Clients Customer Challenges Network storage has many benefits… Network storage allows capacity to be shared by multiple servers and can provide enhanced protection, performance, and availability. File Servers Exchang e SQL Server Network Storage However: Many network storage solutions are out of reach for many customers…
11
Clients Customer Challenges Barriers include cost and complexity Traditionally, network storage technologies can outside of reach for many SMB or branch office customers and can require infrastructure and storage expertise File Servers Exchang e SQL Server Storage View: Virtual arrays, fibre channel, disks, LUNs, stripe sets, targets, initiators, RAID, etc... Network Storage

Unbelievably Simple: No storage expertise required. Total integration + intuitive operation Uniquely Affordable: A complete storage solution for SMBs. 1TB for $5K Unquestionably Reliable: Worry free storage from HP and our 145,000 trusted channel partners HP All-in-One Storage Systems HP All-in-One Storage Systems Finally, radically simple shared storage solutions enabling small and mid-sized businesses to affordably manage grow and protect their data. Integrated file serving, application data storage, data protection, and easy management designed for SMBs. It’s everything you need without the complexity; All-in-One.
16
Ideal customer Networked environment with approx. 3 to 14 servers. (SMBs as well as enterprise branch office / departments) High rate of data growth. Need for longer term online storage. IT expertise limited to applications, not storage Microsoft application usage (SQL or Exchange) Not currently using network storage (maybe some low-end NAS) Needs to easily implement improved data protection strategy Needs a foundation for simple and manageable growth Prioritizes affordability and ease of use over high-availability and high-performance HP All-in-One Storage Systems HP All-in-One Storage Systems

1) Launch Exchange Migration Tool 2) Select Exchange Server Default options pre-populated based on application vendor best practices. These suggested settings can easily be customized to meet the needs of advanced users and user specific configurations. 3) Select databases to migrate 4) “Best Practice” storage configuration is automatically created. 5) Press “Finish”! StorageWorks All-in-One It’s like having an expert in the box: For example, Exchange data migration and consolidation tool uses expert settings and Microsoft ‘best practice’ configurations to automate tasks, speed up deployment, and improve application performance.
18
Managing all file share and application data in one GUI. Looks similar to disk manager but presents storage pools in terms of application usage. Allows for easy storage management, allocation, and growth. 1) Select Database, Mailstore, or File Share. 2) Increase or decrease space for the selected area. 3) Monitor size of database, mailstore or file storage. Set quotas and alerts. 4) Implement data protection policies for disk based snapshots or tape backup jobs StorageWorks All-in-One Easily manage all data from a single application-centric console

StorageWorks All-in-One Partner Opportunity Capitalize on Market Trends The timing is right for an easy to use, low cost, unified storage solution designed to meet the specific needs of SMB customers. The All-in-One has been extensively tested with customer focus groups and all indicates very positive response to the AiO value proposition. Capitalize on HP GTM efforts to drive SMB Volume Storage This is one of the most significant volume storage product launches in recent SWD history. Will include outbound marketing and advertising to build awareness, as well as dedicated channel partner programs to drive new category revenue. Capitalize on Cross Sell/Up Sell Opportunity Early adoption of iSCSI SAN has occurred but most customers are waiting for a mainstream solution. Current iSCSI products are highly technology focused and have missed the needs of mainstream SMB customers – flexibility, ease of use, affordability.
