3.  Architected to use disk only; overlaying flash on top results in partial solution Today’s Storage Architectures Purpose-built, Performance Hybrid  Designed from the ground up to leverage the best of flash and disk  Eliminates compromise between performance, capacity, and data management

4.  Scale just performance, just capacity, or both  Scale-out cluster eliminates storage silos  Scale with zero downtime Scaling at the Lowest Incremental Cost DATA PROTECTION PERFORMANCE CAPACITY SCALING CASL  High capacity disk  Always-on compression  High ratio of usable to raw capacity 2-5x More Usable Capacity/$  Responsive flash cache accelerates reads with no RAID overhead  Serialized writes eliminate need for high RPM spindles 2-5x More Performance/$  Thin snapshots with no performance penalty  Retention for months, not days  WAN-efficient replication Instant Backups & Restores  Scale just performance, just capacity, or both  Scale-out cluster eliminates storage silos  Scale with zero downtime Scaling at the Lowest Incremental Cost DATA PROTECTION PERFORMANCE CAPACITY SCALING CASL

5. 2-5x better performance / $ 2-5x better capacity / $ ~ 4x reduction in footprint, power and cooling UNIVERSAL COMPRESSION: 30-75% SAVINGS  Variable-size blocks enable fast inline compression  Elimination of read-modify-write penalty allows compression of all applications WRITE-OPTIMIZED LAYOUT: 100x FASTER WRITES  Guaranteed coalescing of random writes to sequential stripes; eliminates dependency on spindle speed  Coalesced writes to flash increase lifespan by 500% DISK SSD Cache  Cache populated intelligently on first write, instantly on cache miss  Metadata in cache accelerates all accesses DYNAMIC CACHING: 50x FASTER READS

6.  Consolidate 4x more–high perf and efficiency ●Compact 3U chassis  Instant snapshot and restore ●1000’s of efficient snapshots ●VSS / VMware integration ●WAN-efficient replication  Scale-to-fit architecture ●Scale-up/scale-capacity/scale-out as needed  All-inclusive enterprise features ●Cloning, thin provisioning, replication, etc. ●Simple management for storage, backup, DR CS210CS220 / CS220G CS240 / CS240G CS260 / CS260G CS420 / CS420G CS440 / CS440G CS460 / CS460G Base array raw capacity 8TB12TB24TB36TB12TB24TB36TB Flash160GB320GB640GB1200GB640GB 1200GB Network4 x 1GbE 6 x 1GbE or 2 x 10GbE + 2 x 1GbE (G models) Controllers Dual hot-swappable controllers in active-passive configurations with mirrored NVRAM

7. SCALE COMPUTE/CACHE  Scale IOPS and reduce latency by scaling cache and/or compute SCALE CAPACITY  Scale capacity alone using expansion shelves SCALE-OUT CLUSTER  Scale performance and capacity by adding nodes while managing centrally Scale flexibly and non-disruptively at the lowest incremental cost.
