Global independent software vendor, headquartered in Toronto, Canada –Customers and resellers in Europe, Asia Pacific, North and South America 2,200+ satisfied customers, two lead products: –PlateSpin PowerConvert –PlateSpin PowerRecon Experts in solutions for virtualized data centers VMware Technology Alliance Partner Microsoft Certified Partner

5. The State of the Data Center

6. A heterogeneous mix of platforms makes data centers inflexible –Moving servers across diverse infrastructures is virtually impossible The State of the Datacenter Image Archives/Backups Physical ServersVirtual Machines Microsoft Virtual Server VMware Infrastructure 3 DoubleTake LiveState BackupExec TrueImage Blades Desktops VMware Server Rack Servers Xen 3

7. The State of the Data Center Workloads and Resources operate unbalanced –Servers with many resources are handling small workloads (under-utilization / wastage) –Servers with small resources are handling large workloads (over-utilization / risk) Large Resource Supply Small Resource Supply Large Workload Demand Small Workload Demand OVERUTILIZED SUPPLYUNDERUTILIZED SUPPLY

8. The State of the Data Center If you could … –Measure workloads and resources effectively –Move workloads easily in your datacenter, then –You could optimize resource supply and workload demand saving money and reducing risk Large Resource Supply Small Resource Supply Small Workload Demand Large Workload Demand BALANCE BETWEEN WORKLOAD DEMAND AND RESOURCE SUPPLY

9. PlateSpin Products PowerRecon Data Collection and Analysis Consoldiation and DR Planning Foundation for ongoing optimization PlateSpin sells two software products: PowerRecon and PowerConvert PowerConvert Implements Plans created in PowerRecon Live and concurrent X2X migrations Incremental synchronization for DR

10. PlateSpin PowerRecon - Awareness Data collection, analysis and planning for the IT Architect What resources are in the datacenter What workloads are running on those resources How effectively are workloads assigned to resources Create plans to optimize workload and resources Workloads Resources

11. PlateSpin PowerConvert - Migration Technology that automates the streaming of operating system, applications, data between infrastructures Decouple workload from host Infrastructure Live Peer-to-Peer Workload Movement Deploy or Recover Workload from Archives and Backups Reconfigure Workloads Dynamically Imag e Virtu al Blad e Physic al OS + applications are decoupled from Hardware

13. PlateSpin Featured Solutions P2V RecoveryContinuous Server Consolidation

14. PowerSolution: Continuous Server Consolidation

15. Continuous Server Consolidation: A Three Phased Approach PlateSpin continuous server consolidation transcends P2V Planning P2V V2P 1.Collect inventory and resource usage trend data and build optimized server consolidation plans 2.Implement plans using concurrent, live transfer P2V conversion technology 3.Optimize servers as necessary to maintain balance in the data center

16. Continuous Server Consolidation PowerRecon is the cornerstone of Consolidation Planning Inventory Remotely discover server hardware and software assets Gather detailed data for each server without agents Organize servers by discovered properties or custom groupings

17. Continuous Server Consolidation PowerRecon is the cornerstone of Consolidation Planning Collect Record utilization data over days weeks or months Build custom reports to identify workloads and resource mismatch View summary data or drill down to the details

18. Continuous Server Consolidation PowerRecon is the cornerstone of Consolidation Planning Design Create consolidation scenarios to distribute workloads across servers Maximize utilization and adjust resource allocation to meet workload demands Evaluate scenarios based on TCO, space, power, utilization and consolidation

19. Continuous Server Consolidation PowerConvert is the implementation engine for Server Consolidation Convert Drag and drop source to target to configure a conversion Right size resource allocation and optionally reconfigure OS and applications Seamlessly transfer workloads to an automatically created VM

20. Continuous Server Consolidation PowerConvert is the implementation engine for Server Consolidation Optimize Migrate virtual servers onto physical hardware Completely hardware independent conversion Meet application support constraints or responding to changing workload requirements

39. Case Study AXA Tech

40. Case Study Global F500 Financial Services Company –Complex mix of servers distributed across many different regions Hundreds servers including Dell, HP, IBM, and VMware ESX Servers Objective –Move the entire data center (300 servers) from Japan to Australia Business Pain –Management challenge across wide geographic area –Poor visibility into server utilization

41. Case Study Approach –Consolidate servers to a VMware ESX virtual environment –Automate the server migrations with PlateSpin PowerConvert to reduce the time and effort required for consolidation PowerConvert automated the consolidation –Remotely controlled the migrations, no physical contact with the source or target servers was required –Adjusted and right-sized configuration son-the-fly Results –Multiple concurrent conversions saved weeks if not months of labor –Remote control saved tens of thousands of dollars compared to any other available mechanism for migrating the servers

42. Licensing Options

43. PlateSpin Licensing Model PowerConvert can be licensed in two ways: Per Server Perpetual License Per Conversion License PowerRecon is licensed: Per Server Day E.G. 1 server for 100 days = 100 servers for 1 day
