As this happens it creates multiple overlapping storage services that are complex to deploy and manage and costly to implement resulting in multiple data silos. The result is; hardware and software sprawl with no real way to manage, orchestrate or analyze any of this data to extract real business value along with a deluge of data. DATA SERVICES COPY OPTIMIZE MOVE STORE DATA SERVICES COPY OPTIMIZE MOVE STORE

5 Today’s IT Challenge: Drowning in a Deluge of Copy Data Result: Increased cost and complexity and no additional business value COPY DATA GROWTH Big Data workload (Analytics) ? Geometric Copy Data Growth Compliance workload (Archive) Copy Data will be a $51B problem by 2018 Consumes as much as 60% of disk capacity Drives 65% of Storage Software and 85% of the Storage Hardware spending Almost all copies sit idle 1 Copy Data Mgmt Gap Resilient workload (Mirror) 1 50+ Copies Non production workload (Test/Dev or DevOps) Storage Growth 6 Appropriate Data Growth Resilient workload (Disk Backup) ~35% YoY 23 This deluge of data is substantial. [BUILD] IDC did a study of enterprise accounts. They found that production data is growing linearly anywhere between 35% and 50% year over year (YoY). This data growth is hard enough to keep up with. IDC went a step further and identified Copy Data, or the copies of production data is increasing geometrically [BUILD]  The study found Copy Data will be a $51B problem for the enterprise by 2018. They also found that these copies of production data consume as much as 60% of your disk capacity Drives 65% of storage software and 85% of the storage hardware spending And here’s the kicker, almost all these copies sit idle As our slide before describes, these copies come from multiple business operations such as backup, local and remote, DR, test/dev, compliance, analytics and much more. In the end, enterprises end up with more than 50 copies of production data or “Copy Data”.

The first is a catalog of all the data, not just the primary data, but the snaps, vault, mirrors etc… This will provide IT with the insight needed to better manage the data, and better orchestrate that data for the various needs of the business. Once IT has the insight, management and orchestration, the catalog needs to be able to provide the analytics back to the business to prove all of the SLAs are being met as defined by the business across all data.

8 Catalogic’s Copy Data Management Platform
Your Infrastructure Catalogic ECX Copy Data Management Platform Catalog, Manage, Orchestrate and Analyze Copy Data across your Enterprise and Cloud Downloadable VM Agentless Use Cases LEVERAGE Automated DR, Enhanced Test/Dev, DevOps Automation, Analytics and Enhanced Recovery Orchestration and Automation of application consistent Snapshots and VMware VADP Copy Images Copy Data Orchestration and Automation VM Virtual snapshot and replication capabilities Efficient management of Copy Data through full lifecycle (Copy Creation, Copy Use, Compliance and EOL), across heterogeneous storage infrastructure Eliminate the need for scripting based upon unique APIs per storage platform Copy Data Lifecycle Management AND/OR Self-service provisioning as well as Self-Service automated DR, Test/Dev, DevOps and analytics App teams gain speed and IT keeps control and gains SLA management Self-Service for App teams or Admins Let’s talk about Catalogic’s ECX solution and how it helps to manage the full lifecycle of copy data. First, ECX enables the existing infrastructure that is in place – storage and VMware. ECX’s mission; help take better advantage of clients existing investment. [BUILD] Simply add Catalogic’s ECX Copy Data Management platform. ECX enables clients to Manage, Orchestrate and Analyze Copy Data across the Enterprise and Cloud. ECX is simple to use and lightweight Simply down load a virtual machine, register the storage arrays and vCenter servers. No need for agents and ECX is not in band. ECX takes about 15 minutes to install and configure and clients are ready to start leveraging all of ECX’s capabilities. [BUILD] ECX enables four powerful copy data use cases that were not have before ECX [BUILD] First is Copy Data Orchestration and Automation This is all about the automation and orchestration of the storage and application consistent snaps at the hypervisor layer. Clients already have an application consistent copies production environment sitting in a separate location waiting to be leveraged. ECX enables use cases such as: Automated Daily DR testing, Enhanced Test/Dev and Real-time data access for capabilities such as Operational recovery Business analytics Reporting and much more These workflows can be scheduled, run on an ad hoc basis and can be invoked by IT or by application users leveraging the REST API. The key value is the ability to easily provide near real-time data access for the benefit of the different business units. And that data can be refreshed as often as snapshots are taken. [BUILD]The second uses case is Copy Data Lifecycle Management ECX provides the efficient management of copy data through its full lifecycle, (Copy Creation, Copy Use, Compliance and EOL), across heterogeneous storage infrastructures. This gets at the root of the management challenge. Snapshots and Replicas can be consistently created by workflows, enabling the best practices of the IT team and helping to meet the SLAs of the business. [BUILD] The next use case is Self-service for the Application Teams. ECX enables storage administrators to create templates for the application teams to use to self-provision new environments and have faster access to the data they need to do their job. This enables the application teams to gain speed while the IT team maintains control and accountability of the SLAs. [BUILD] The last use case is Copy Data Catalog and Analytics. Visibility and insight are critical to managing any environment. ECX’s metadata catalog provides IT the search and reporting capabilities required to manage copy data and individual files across the enterprise and hybrid cloud.

9 …Over budget and … “data starved”
The Copy Data Reality PRIMARY SITE SECONDARY SITE Current Environment Highly efficient and resilient Replicated Primary and secondary Snapshots Separate Environments for: Test/Dev Analytics or Data warehouse Operational Recovery DR Archive …Over budget and … “data starved” VM VM VM VM VM VM VMware VMware Let’s bring all of this to life with a simple example. Most organizations have built highly efficient and resilient storage environments with replicated application consistent snapshots. This is pretty standard. But most organizations don’t use these data copies. And most firms build out separate storage environments for Test/Dev, Analytics and DR. Additionally, most firms spend a lot of CapEx and Opex managing these separate environments trying to keep the data in these separate environments up to to date. The end result is too many data copies, lots of software, lots of hardware and overspending the budget and still no access to the data needed. Clients are “data starved” Array Replication Storage Array Storage Array

10 Copy Data Management Copy Data Management “Catalog” provides:
PRIMARY SITE Catalogic ECX SECONDARY SITE Copy Data Management “Catalog” provides: Catalog all snaps, replicas, and VMware objects Detailed visibility and context of your current environment Copy Lineage and location Compliance reporting VM VM VMware API VMware API Here is what is important to know about how Catalogic’s Copy Data Management software works. [BUILD] ECX installs as a virtual machine or vApp and does not require any agents. The configuration is as simple as just registering the storage and hypervisor assets. From there, ECX catalogs all copy data from the storage as well as VMware and Flash Copy Manager environments. ECX does this by talking directly to the public storage and hypervisor APIs Array Replication Storage APIs Storage APIs

11 Copy Data Management Copy Data Management actionable catalog provides:
PRIMARY SITE Catalogic ECX SECONDARY SITE Copy Data Management actionable catalog provides: Catalog all snaps, replicas and VMware objects Detailed visibility and context of your current environment Copy Lineage and location VMware / Storage correlation Compliance / Audit reporting VM VM VM1 VM2 VM3 Production Data VMware VMware Full Copy Once the environment is cataloged, IT now has detailed visibility and insight of all the data, including the data copies, within the environment. ECX catalogs all snaps, replicas, VMware and FCM objects. In addition, the catalog understands the lineage and location of a data copies, so there is a clear understanding of what is production data and what is snapshot or replica data and which volumes the snaps and replicas are associated with. The catalog also correlates between Virtual Machines and Storage infrastructure so IT has compliance reporting on recover points or data availability points, local and remote, on a VM by VM basis. ECX provides detailed reporting to ensure business SLAs are being met. Snapshot Array Replication Storage Array Storage Array

Simple process to consistently configure and deploy snapshots/Replication Replaces complex custom scripting Full visibility, analytics and SLA reporting PRIMARY SITE Catalogic ECX SECONDARY SITE VM VM VM1 VM2 VM3 Production Data VMware VMware Full Copy Automation & orchestration enables powerful use cases: Enhanced Recovery, Automated Daily DR, DevOps, Analytics Workflows run scheduled, ad hoc or via REST API Refresh Data as often as you snapshot The ECX catalog is an “Actionable Catalog”, which drives the Copy Data and Use Data workflows and enables the automation and orchestration for both the storage and the hypervisor. These workflows enable uses cases such as; Enhanced data recovery, Automated DR testing and Automated DR Dev/Test or DevOps, and Real-time data access for business analytics ECX provides the business with near real-time data access and greater data availability and ensures IT can meet the requirements of the business. The data that is made available and is as fresh as the frequency of the snapshots / replicas, in the environment. The workflows can be seen in a single view in the ECX workflow dashboard. These workflows run on a schedule or can be executed to run ad hoc. Snapshot Array Replication Storage Array Storage Array

13 Copy Data Management Automated DR / DevOps / Analytics:
Workflows leverage actionable catalog Bring up applications in a fenced network Bring up applications in order leveraging existing application consistent snapshots Test DR every day Enable DevOps agility; faster time to market Fresh data for analytics; greater accuracy PRIMARY SITE Catalogic ECX SECONDARY SITE Fenced VM Environment Fenced VM Environment VM VM VM1 VM2 VM2 VM VM1’ VM2’ VM3’ Production Data VM1’ VM2’ VM3’ VMware VMware API Full Copy We’ll dive a bit deeper into how ECX’s ‘Use Data’ workflow works. [BUILD] To make data available for a DR, DevOps or Analytic environment for a set of applications or different business units is next to impossible without automation and orchestration. [BUILD] ECX’s Copy Data Management Platform enables IT to set up these environments and meet the business SLAs. Leveraging ECX’s actionable catalog, the ECX ‘Use Data’ workflow is able to spin up application consistent VMs in a fenced network environment. This is a critical step so as not to impact production. ECX even allows IT to configure the order in which to bring up the VMs needed to ensure application dependencies are met. [BUILD]The new environment is now up and running and available in this fenced off environment and the data is available to be used for any use case.

The ability to automatically clean up these environments helps to reduce data sprawl. This is especially important if these workflows are running daily.

For example, in a DevOps environment, once a new data set is tested, and it meets the requirements of the business, it can be quickly promoted and put into production with the click of the mouse. The environment is migrated to production using vMotion. Snapshot Array Replication Storage Array Storage Array

These environments can be cloned and left ‘active’ to perform multiple operations on and these operations are not running off a snapshot of the data. This data is migrated seamlessly to its own disk volumes and leveraging using vMotion. Snapshot Array Replication Storage array Storage Array

17 The Power of Storage Workflow Templates
Current situation STORAGE TEAM Understand the environment and has the storage skills to set the environment up and provide the required up-time Setting up environments is a manual and error prone task that takes time Doesn’t have the tools to provide self service to App teams CIO Measured on: Up-time Containing cost Agility for the Business Business Unit Leader INTERNAL COMMUNICATION GAP Measured on: Speed of software delivery Quality of code not up-time APP TEAM Would like more control over how storage for an application is designed. Would like to self-serve storage – eliminate the delay created by Storage team At best, the App Team is frustrated with the process At worst, the App team goes around the processes and does their own exports or dumps to take control and speed up their work ECX has an added level of “control” for the App team or VM administrators. ECX provides “storage templates” that can be invoked by the App team via a web client or API call. [BUILD]Before templates, there always seemed to be a “communication gap” between the storage team and applications team. The two groups would agree on the needed SLAs for a set of application but executing on those SLAs proved to be difficult. The Storage team understands the environment and can set up the storage to meet the SLAs, but this takes time. It is a manual, error prone set of tasks. The application team gets frustrated with the lack of speed to get their job done. At best they are frustrated, at worst they work around IT, doing their own shadow IT, creating extra data copies which results in added cost. The storage team doesn’t have the right tools to provide the VM and application teams what they need.

18 The Power of Storage Workflow Templates
Templates provide “Common Ground” STORAGE TEAM Understand the environment and has the storage skills to set the environment up and provide the required up-time Setting up environments is a manual and error prone task that takes time Doesn’t have the tools to provide self service to App teams CIO Measured on: Up-time Containing cost Agility for the Business TEMPLATES PROVIDE COMMON GROUND Business Unit Leader INTERNAL COMMUNICATION GAP Measured on: Speed of software delivery Quality of code not up-time Copy Data Management templates help to create a “Common Ground”. The work flows are the same as before. The two groups decide on the right SLAs for a set of applications. The Storage team has the knowledge to set up the environment in order to meet the SLAs. Now, with ECX, the Storage team is able to “publish storage templates” to the application team. Templates such as gold, silver and bronze for the different SLAs for that particular application and environment. Now the application teams can “self-serve”. They can provision their own storage whenever they want to! No waiting on the storage team. The application team gets what they want, speed and self-service. Taking advantage of ECX’s storage templates, roles based access and RESTful API, application and VM teams can enable self-service automated DR testing, DevOps automation, business analytics or any other need for near real-time data access. APP TEAM Would like more control over how storage for an application is designed. Would like to self-serve storage – eliminate the delay created by Storage team At best, the App Team is frustrated with the process At worst, the App team goes around the processes and does their own exports or dumps to take control and speed up their work Storage team: Keeps control and gain SLA management App Team: Gets the speed they need through Self-Service Self-services Provisioning, Automated DR, Test/Dev Refresh, DevOps Automation and Analytics

19 Save CapEx and OpEx – Improve ROA
General operational savings Eliminate complex and hard to maintain scripts Decrease unplanned downtime through compliance reporting and availability audits Replaces multiple tools Automatic Daily DR Leverage existing replicated snapshots – better ROA No need for dedicated storage Eliminate time consuming and rarely successful DR weekends Enhanced Test/Dev or DevOps Reduce manual tasks for data population Dramatically increase developer productivity Increase time to market Near Real-time data access for analytics Eliminate data extraction process via scripting Increase analytic benefits through Near-Real-time data access ECX helps clients get a much better return on their existing assets and provides a greater ROI on newly acquired assets such as flash and cloud. Wikibon, an independent analyst firm, published a study that shows a client environment that saved 39% of hard dollars saving over three years using ECX for just one use case. Wikibon took their study a step further and looked at hard and soft dollars savings for multiple use cases including improved productivity around DevOps and Analytics. This study showed that for every dollar spent with Catalogic we returned over three dollars. Clients save money in multiple ways depending on the use cases they use ECX for. Catalogic has an ROI/ROA calculator and will work with clients to customize their own savings calculations.

20 ECX for IBM SoftLayer (Cloud)
Enable cloud use cases Leverage the cloud for scale and economics – the way it was intended Perform automated DR testing, DevOps, Analytics and Reporting in the cloud without having to have a 2nd data center Catalogic ECX Manage, Orchestrate and Analyze Copy Data across your Enterprise and Cloud Downloadable VM Agentless We have talked about “HOW” ECX functions, now let’s talk about how ECX is integrated the IBM Cloud – SoftLayer and how clients can now better enable SoftLayer and leverage the cloud for its scale and economics.

21 Enable the Cloud Leverage the scale and economics of the Hybrid Cloud
ECX installs in minutes without agents and is available for free trial Creates an actionable catalog of VMware and Storage environments including the cloud Catalog enables search, reporting and SLA Management Enables key Copy Data Use Cases leveraging application consistent Snapshots to the cloud Copy Data Lifecycle Management VMware VM Cloud Copy Data Orchestration/Automation Self-Service for App teams or Admins Copy Data Catalog and Analytics Storage Copy Data Management Take advantage of the cloud for what it was intended. Spin up and spin down application consistent snaps for multiple use cases without the need for a whole separate data center. Finally, as clients look to enable the cloud for what it was designed to do, ECX is the perfect solution to help IT maximize the value of the cloud. Getting the data to the cloud is one thing, but the ability to automate and orchestrate spinning up application consistent images in the cloud allows IT to ensure they are only using the resources they need. ECX can make data available for daily DR tests, testing for different groups throughout the world or available for analytics in any location. PRIMARY SITE SECONDARY SITE

22 SoftLayer – Product Validation
SoftLayer has published a POC whitepaper on ECX driving automated DR in a SoftLayer environment NetApp and SoftLayer published whitepaper In support of the ECX cloud solution, recently, IBM SoftLayer, NetApp and Catalogic published a paper on utilizing ECX’s copy data management solution for automated DR testing in the cloud. The paper discusses a 300+% CapEx and OpEx savings using a copy data management solution. The paper can be downloaded on the link provide on the slide or on the Catalogic / IBM landing page.

23 Architecture and Competitive Differentiation
Catalogic Software Architecture and Competitive Differentiation I’ll quickly review ECX’s architecture and competitive place in the market.

24 ECX Architecture RESTful API Provider Architecture Public API’s
Robust GUI Infrastructure Admins App User Call Center Admins Out of Band Heterogeneous RESTful API Catalog Automate Applications Hypervisors Operating Systems Orchestrate Analyze Provider Architecture Public API’s Marketplace Storage Arrays ECX is based on a JASON architecture and a full set of RESTful APIs. What does this mean? Fundamentally it means that as ECX adds new storage platforms or Hypervisors, or enable new reporting capabilities, these are just simple providers that plug into the main framework. ECX is a very scalable and extensible architecture where by as we add additional platforms, each has all the same capabilities as the ones before. Once the provider is done for the new platform, it snaps in and all of the automation, orchestration and analytics behave consistently across all platforms. The ECX catalog is based upon a scalable MongoDB data base that is capable of handling billions of objects. The ECX software also has a marketplace, such that as new features or reports are available, they are uploaded to the marketplace and clients can download these new capabilities quickly without having to wait for a product release. mongoDB Cloud Public/Private/Hybrid Dynamic Scalability Downloadable VM or Docker Container – Scalable & Extensible

25 “Data Copy” Landscape ü Clients have: Multiple RAID solutions
Actionable Copy Data Catalog Automated Copy Data Use Cases Backup Software ü Storage Efficiency (Compress / Dedupe) Backup Appliances Replication Snapshots Clones Storage Services (RAID, Comp, Dedupe) RAID array Solutions 3 5 7 2 Clients have: Multiple RAID solutions Utilize multiple storage services Want to take advantage of services they already paid for One thing that is important to look at when making a decision to about investing in a copy data solution is to look at the market landscape and the offerings in the market. When Catalogic looks at the market, first and foremost they understand that clients have invested in multiple storage solutions and multiple storage services for their environment and these decisions were not made in a vacuum. Catalogic’s objective is not to upset or force customers to re-think or change their existing storage or hypervisor environments. The objective is to enhance the existing environment to get more out of their current investment as clients look to enable the cloud .

26 “Data Copy” Landscape ü Catalogic ECX: Software Only Layer
Actionable Copy Data Catalog Automated Copy Data Use Cases Backup Software ü Storage Efficiency (Compress / Dedupe) Backup Appliances Replication Snapshots Clones Storage Services (RAID, Comp, Dedupe) RAID array Solutions 3 5 7 2 Catalogic ECX: Single pane of glass Don’t ‘rip-n- replace’ Use existing infrastructure ‘in-place’ Leverage your storage services Get a better return on your existing assets Software Only Layer Leverage what you own! Catalogic’s philosophy is to work across all the hardware platforms ‘in place’ and provide Copy Data Management across all of them with a single pain of glass, where there is no need to rip-n-replace components in the infrastructure, but take advantage of the storage services that have already been bought and paid for. This provides provides clients with a much better return on your assets. This is copy data management 2.0

27 “Data Copy” Landscape ü Other Players: Software Only Layer
Actionable Copy Data Catalog Automated Copy Data Use Cases Backup Software ü Storage Efficiency (Compress / Dedupe) Backup Appliances Replication Snapshots Clones Storage Services (RAID, Comp, Dedupe) RAID array Solutions 3 5 7 2 Other Players: Move your ‘bits’ to a new platform Pay for storage services all over again No catalog of existing infrastructure Manage another solution in your environment Software Only Layer Leverage what you own! Other vendors in the ‘Copy Data’ space want to MOVE data to THEIR platform in order to provide a copy data solution or use their storage services to move data to the cloud . These solutions are much more expensive, force clients to change your process, which is the most difficult thing to do in IT, and learn yet another storage solution. In addition, these solutions don’t provide any insight to the existing storage environment. Catalogic believes that is is NOT how clients want to consume a copy data solution – nor how the vendor ecosystem wants to work with a new solution.

28 IDC’s Copy Data Management Insights
“There’s a couple different approaches to CDM that are out there. If you can, you don’t want to create a whole other separate storage silo. Because that’s not really saving you in terms of capital savings. The more you can do to manage data “in-place” is really going to give you an edge up in terms of economics.” Laura DuBois IDC – VP of Storage June 10, 2015 By way of example, recently, Catalogic did a webinar with IDC’s Laura DuBois – She talked about how Catalogic’s Copy Data Management, a software only solution, does not require whole new storage silo. Managing data in place is much more convenient for clients and provides a better return on existing assets. PW: WALSH

29 Copy Data Management Catalogic Solution Copy Data Management 2.0:
Catalog to know what Data Copies you have “In Place” and the required orchestration to leverage these copies Definition: Optimizing the number of data copies to meet business requirement and no more. Actionable catalog of storage & hypervisor environments with full search and reporting Identify and quantify the copy data issue in the organization Correlate copies to business requirements Actionable catalog with VM association plus copy lineage and location On the left hand side of this slide is the list of requirements that IDC suggest clients look for when evaluating a copy data management solution; Optimize data copies to meet business requirements Identify / analyze copy data Align copy data to the business needs and Repurpose data copies – save on data sprawl The Catalogic Solution is the only solution on the market that meets these requirements. ECX allows clients to: Understand the data copies they have Better manage these copies Leverage these copies for multiple use cases and Report against these copies to ensure they are meeting their SLAs Use Data workflows to leverage data copies for multiple use cases like Recovery, DR, Test/Dev, DevOps and Analytics Repurpose copies to multiple uses Monitor and report to maintain optimization Full Logging and Exception-based reporting to ensure SLA compliance
