Data influx driving the need for

scalable, affordable storage

Storage must be:

Easy to scale - to enormous capacities

Affordable

Flexible – grow as needed

Simple to deploy and manage

Software Defined Storage and Hyperconverged Market Drivers

Software Defined Storage Hyperconverged Infrastructure

Exponential growth in object, block and

file storage cannot be sustained with

traditional Tier 1 storage vendors

Challenges in managing traditional file,

block and object storage - Disparate systems

- Multiple administration points

- Complex replication schemes

Continued need to reduce TCO and

improve ROI across datacenter

Capacity storage (80% of data)

Ex use cases: backup/restore, archiving

Need for rapid time to market

Drive to deploy applications quickly

Requirement for optimized software

Hot Storage (20% of data)

Ex use cases: Enterprise ERP, CRM,

Accounting, HRM, email, VDI,

virtualization

Easy building block

(compute + storage)

approach for rapid time to

market

Scalable, affordable storage

to meet enormous data

capacity and management

needs

Where does each fit in the datacenter?

Datacenters will not be discretely traditional storage, SDS and HCI. Customers will select

workloads that are best fit for each technology and a single datacenter could deploy all three

technologies depending on their needs.

Traditional Storage Tier 1 or 2 and Legacy Apps

Software Defined Storage Tier 2, 3 application deployments for large data

sets and storage virtualization

Hyperconverged Infrastructure New Tier 2 applications fast rollout for

compute + storage

Customer use cases


University use case

Challenge:

Expand its storage system for file sharing and

email service.

Needed large data capacity, full storage

management tools, strong security within a

tight budget.

NetApp and EMC were nearly triple the cost of

the solution, with nearly the same functionality.

Benefit of StorSelect solution:

Cost savings of deploying large capacity file

storage (projected $9M over 5 year period).

Data protection with built-in encryption,

authentication, access control, and logging

capabilities.

Easy scalability.


Financial service provider use case Challenge:

Keep up with exponential growth of data from

brokerage services, portfolio management,

financial products, mobile devices, and in-

house data.

Had outgrown current storage at an alarming

rate and needed to handle shrinking budgets

and headcounts, poor storage utilization, and

scaling constraints

Benefit of StorSelect solution:

Simple and affordable scalability

Reduced need for additional headcount to

manage storage

Increased flexibility to match the correct size

storage to demand

No scaling constraints

Manage growth within budget


Hospital use case

Challenge

Maxed out traditional storage space due to the

large number of patient MRI images to be

archived to meet HIPPA and insurance

requirements

Storage system quickly running out of space

Expensive and complicated to expand the

capacity

Benefits of StorSelect Solution

Easy, affordable, scalable archive storage

Simple management

Unlimited searchable metadata to be

associated with each stored object


Communications company use case

Challenge • Replace outdated distributed file storage with a

more robust object based storage for better scalability and flexibility

• Need strong security and multi-tenancy capabilities for cloud hosting services

• Low cost, rapid deployment, 100% S3 protocol compatibility

Benefits of StorSelect Solution: • Strong certificate based security

• Multi-tenancy management

• Low cost per GB storage for very large deployments

• Ability to easily expand as demand increases

• Deploy upon arrival
