2. Agenda Overview Primary Storage & Platform Cloud Integrated Tiering Cloud Security Backup/Restore and DR Demo Cloud Economics Summary

3. Overview Cloud Integrated Storage (CiS) - StorSimple

4. Storage Challenges are Broad Equipment Sprawl Data Growth & Footprint Data Management Complexity Backup Issues Untested Disaster Recovery Primary Storage Disk-based Backup Storage Tape Infrastructure & Management Archival Storage Replicated Storage for DR Offsite Facility for Geo-resilience Storage Today = Complex & Expensive

5. CiS can help…StorSimple + Windows Azure Primary Storage Disk-based Backup Storage Tape Infrastructure & Management Archival Storage Replicated Storage for DR Offsite Facility for Geo-resilience Storage Today = Complex & Expensive StorSimple + Windows Azure = 60–80% Lower TCO Recovery from Cloud to Any DC Recovery from Cloud to Any DC Cloud Snapshots Cloud Snapshots Thin, Reduced Snapshots Thin, Reduced Snapshots Automated Cloud-as-a-Tier Automated Cloud-as-a-Tier Enterprise SAN Storage Enterprise SAN Storage

6. CiS Focused Workloads Capacity Time Data Grows Exponentially (50–60% Annually) Tier 2 – Tier 3 However, Most I/O Happens to the “Working Set” Data CapEx, OpEx of Traditional Storage CapEx, OpEx of StorSimple Cloud Storage Local Storage Target Use Cases File Share CIFS NFS File servers NAS SharePoint Business intelligence Collaboration Content and records management Archives EMR/PACS Legal Construction Media Engineering Logs, records VMs Regional office storage VM sprawl VM archives

7. CiS - StorSimple Application Servers Inactive Data + Backup Copies on Azure storage Speed of SSD/SAN + Elasticity of Cloud SAS Local Tier Most Active Data on SSD Connects Windows and VMware Servers to Azure Storage in Minutes with No Application Modification Benefits Consolidates primary, archive, backup, DR thru seamless integration with Azure Cloud snapshots = revolutionary speed, simplicity and reliability for backup and recovery Reduces enterprise storage TCO by 60– 80%

8. Primary Storage & Platform Cloud Integrated Storage (CiS) - StorSimple

9. CiS Architecture On an Enterprise-Class Platform Certified: VMware-ready and Microsoft Windows Server-certified HA: full redundancy + hot swaps + non-disruptive upgrades SAN Storage iSCSI SAN with auto-tiering (SSD/SAS) Automated snapshots Primary dedupe/compress Seamless Cloud Integration for: Tiered primary + archives Cloud snapshots: mountable for DR With Cloud Data Management Seamless iSCSI integration Highly efficient storage Thin provisioning Primary storage de-duplication High performance + cloud elasticity Integrated tiering: SSD, SAS & cloud Full security for the cloud Local keys + encryption of all cloud data Protecting both data-in-motion and data at rest Fast, automated data protection + recovery Automated snapshots to cloud Fast online restores and elimination of tape Integrated disaster recovery – lowest cost & complexity

10. Deduplication and Compression 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 Total data capacity required = 10TB DC A A E Data blocks 5x de-dupe ratio De-duplicated Compressed Metadata map Data blocks + Capacity used = 2TB A B C D EF CB B B F DC A D E DC A C F

11. CiS Tiering Cloud Integrated Storage (CiS) - StorSimple

12. Weighted Storage Layout (WSL) Optimized cloud storage access BlockRank™  All volume data is dynamically broken into “chunks”, analyzed and weighted based on frequency of use, age, and others Frequently-used data chunks stored in SSD for fast access Real-time data deduplication enables capacity scalability Less frequently-used data chunks can be:  Optimized and stored on integrated SAS  Optimized, encrypted and stored in the cloud High performance local storage (SSD, SAS) Frequently-used working set data SCSI data from application servers StorSimple Cloud-integrated Storage Infrequently used non-working set data

14. Cloud Security Cloud Integrated Storage (CiS) - StorSimple

15. Industry leading Security for Cloud Storage Obfuscation Deduplication Compression Data in cloud Deduplicated Compressed Encrypted Application Servers Blocks encrypted with customer key SSL communication: Authentication Metadata Data transfer Local Data Broken into storage blocks, then: Multiple layers of obfuscation through the system Original data is broken into storage blocks (chunks) Blocks are fingerprinted + deduplicated with data from other volumes 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 AES-256 passphrase keys performed at Cloud configuration step, before volumes are provisioned

16. Backup/Restore & Disaster Recovery Cloud Integrated Storage (CiS) - StorSimple

17. Cloud Snapshots… Primary Volume Virtual Tape/ Replication Physical Tape SnapshotOffsite Tape Storage Backup, Restore & DR Today: Inefficient, Complex, Laborious, and Risky Primary Volume Local Snapshots Backup, Restore & DR with StorSimple: Automated, Optimized, Reliable Cloud Snapshots 1.Backup copy of data volume created in cloud 2.Changes to local volume automatically transferred 3.Cloud snapshots mountable for restore Benefits Backup now as easy as snapshots Very fast restores from off-site backups Integrated, easy to test disaster recovery Truly eliminates tape

18. …Enables Seamless Scalability and Rapid Recovery Cloud Snapshots Enterprise Data Center 1 Enterprise Data Center 2 Connect Many Servers to Cloud Storage and Scale Data Sets with StorSimple Solution Rapidly Recover to Any Data Center, Location- Independent, via Mounting the Cloud Snapshot Production Data

19. Disaster Recover - Behind the Scenes 1.Configuration import process populates DR appliance with all information from original appliance 2.Registry restore downloads available backup information from the cloud 3.Clone operation fetches volume metadata from the cloud and creates the volume on the DR appliance 4.As and when data is requested, blocks are downloaded from the cloud Benefits Quick restore Download only the required data
