6. 5 features with every LeftHand SAN

7. SAN/iQ Storage Clustering True clustering brings reliability, performance, and ease of management Storage clustering −Aggregates critical components −Data is load balanced −Predictable scalability Grow on your terms −Scale-out storage −Non-disruptive −Throttle bandwidth Storage tiering −Optimized for type of data −Online volume migration Simple centralized management −One step server-volume mapping −Integrated performance management SAS SATA Centralized Management Console Disk Cache Storage Node Hardware RAID SAN/iQ Storage Software Redundant Cooling Redundant power CPU NICs

8. SAN/iQ Network RAID Always on storage, data remains accessible during site failures Beyond component redundancy −Protects data from array failure −Synchronous replication −Configure on a per-volume basis −Configure on-the-fly, no down time High availability −Multiple disks, controllers, or arrays −Zero disruption of data access −Ensures “high availability” for data SAN/iQ Cluster A B C D A B CD B A C D BA C D The goal for SAN availability is "no nines," or 100% availability. (Gartner,2007) Human error and firmware bugs are the weakest links, even in properly deployed SANs. (Gartner, 2007)

9. SAN/iQ Multi-site SAN Real-time protection from site failure Protect Storage By: −Racks −Room −Floor −Building −Site Keep Data Online During: −Facility disruption −Natural disaster −Site maintenance SAN/iQ ClusterSAN/iQ Multi-site SAN ADAD BABA CBBC CDCD Volumes Remain Online

10. SAN/iQ Thin Provisioning Raise storage utilization, increase return on investment, and reduce costs Cost Savings −Purchase only what you need today −Allocate only as data is written −No reserve necessary −Integrated with SmartClones, Snapshots and Remote Copy Delay Future Storage Purchases −Grow capacity as warranted Simple to Manage −Enable/disable with radio button on per- volume basis Full Provisioned Thin Provisioned 50 GB written 200 GB Volume Allocated200 GB Available0 GB Used0 GB Wasted200 GB Allocated0GB Available200GB Used0GB Wasted0GB Allocated200 GB Available0 GB Used50 GB Wasted150 GB Allocated200 GB Available0 GB Used100 GB Wasted100 GB Allocated50GB Available150GB Used50GB Wasted0GB Allocated100GB Available100GB Used100GB Wasted0GB Waste Available

11. SAN/iQ SmartClone Cost efficient volume copies that allow for quick provisioning Realize cost savings through cloning No duplicate data, only changes are stored Ideal for storing system images Instant provisioning of volume copies for test and development Testing can be done with real data No impact to production SmartClone Volumes SAN/iQ Cluster

12. SAN/iQ Snapshots Point-in-time, space-efficient snapshots for backup and recovery Simplified Backup and Recovery −Point-in-time volume copies −Scheduled, ad hoc or scripted Functional −Volume rollback −Recover granular data −Backup integration Microsoft VSS VMware VCB Space Efficient −Thin provisioned always −Delta changes only −No snap reservation SAN/iQ Cluster 1:00 2:00 3:00 1:00

13. SAN/iQ Remote Copy Time and space-efficient asynchronous replication for disaster recovery and backups Asynchronous Replication −Per volume basis −Scheduled or manual −Thin provisioned −No reserve space required −Incremental failback Simple to Manage −Bandwidth management −Failover / Failback Wizard SAN 1 Vol_1 (Primary) SAN 2 Vol_1 (Remote ) 2:00 1:00 3:00 2:00 1:00 Vol_1 (Primary ) Baseline Copy Incremental Copy Recovery Server
