Introducing CloudArray 4.5 with DRaaS

Freedom from Backup Software, DR & Management Headaches

§  Simplified Management, Greater Control & Improved Usability •  Snapshot scheduling •  Enhanced bandwidth throttling •  Volume migration across cache policies •  Simpler, more powerful user interface

§  CloudArray Disaster Recovery as a Service •  On-demand disaster recovery of applications and data •  Now included with CloudArray

3


Snapshot Scheduling

Reduce/Eliminate dependence on separate backup software

§  Enables scheduling of recurring, automatic snapshots, age-based retention policies

§  Space optimized, 20X capacity savings versus traditional full backups

4


More Powerful Bandwidth Throttling

Minimize impact of cloud storage on network bandwidth

§  Recurring weekly schedules accommodate high-usage days and times

§  Controls can be fine-tuned to 15 minute intervals and ranges varying from zero to unlimited

5


Volume Migration Across Policies

Optimize Performance

§  Move hot volumes to larger and/or faster cache (i.e. SSD) §  Move cold/archive volumes to smaller and/or slower cache (i.e. SATA) §  Load balance volumes across caches §  Easily shrink cache size, non-intrusively retire old cache storage

Traditional DR/BC Reality 12

Significant administration and tech refreshes for underutilized DR hardware

Double the server and compute

infrastructure

Off-site location in case of disaster

Exorbitant costs to support •  Hosted solution - or - •  Colocation solution - or - •  Remote office

RESULT: Cost & Maintenance Headache


Today’s “Cloud” Alternatives 13

Cloud-Hosted DR

§  Lease hot-standby or warm-standby infrastructure

•  Servers and storage •  Networks, firewalls, IP

addresses §  Pay dedicated per month costs

•  ~$5K-$8K/mo. to recover 50 VMs

Cloud-Compute DR

§  On-demand, but incompatible environments

•  VMware local •  Unknown hypervisor in cloud,

no admin access §  Complex, risky orchestration

•  Rely on VM conversion tools •  Or third party migration tools

$#%!
