4. Why was Tegile Founded? 4 Founders experienced the demands 100’s of VM instances put on current storage systems CEO/CTO Early history at Perfigo Network Admission Control Acquired by Cisco Cisco UCS Integrated Platform For running Enterprise VMs Tegile Founded to address key issues with VM/VDI implementations Performance Protection Management/deployment Over 250 systems in place enabling the agility advantages that VM delivers Tegile = technology + agile

5. Tegile – Go-to-Market Strategy 100% Channel Model –Staffing field resources for our partners Both sales and technical sales support 5-star CRN Partner Program Winner Maintain simple, high margin model Persistent (indefinite) opportunity registration –50% off of list for registered deals –20% off of list for service renewals Focusing on areas of differentiation; to maximize the benefits of VM, VDI, or Database implementations 5

6. We’re onto something here… 6 Although Tegile is known for its Hybrid architecture, the HA 2800 (all flash) array was recognized as superior in the all SSD category! Our judges gave the HA2800 high marks for innovation and value… Another judge noted that the HA2800's "inline dedupe and hybrid disk, and snapshot and replication make for a comprehensive feature set." 6 existing clients see a real world 3x-5x effective capacity from deduplication and compression includes excellent data protection features web-based management interface speeds deployment …supporting all VMware vSphere VAAI features

7. Tegile is a serious contender: 7 Excerpt from DCIG – 2012 Enterprise Flash Buyer’s Guide: The Zebi HA2800 provides unified storage through concurrent support for both SAN and NAS protocols. This fits with Tegile’s goal, “to deliver a new generation of storage arrays that address all of the demands of the modern data center, backed by expert customer support.”

10. Product Overview Primary Virtual Storage with in-line Deduplication Unified Hybrid … –Artfully combines DRAM, Flash, and Rotating Disk Transparent, continuous optimization of block locations –Multi-protocol NAS + SAN –CIFS/NFS... iSCSI/Fibre Channel Integrated, advanced data protection Mission: Cost effectively meet the needs of today’s virtualized and high IOPS environments 10

11. Common SSD Approaches 11 ApproachAdvantagesDisadvantages Add flash to modular disk Some I/O performance improvement Disk is already owned No movement to lower cost storage, so certain data sets are locked in flash Only moderate gains in IOPS for select applications Server-resident Flash (PCI flash…) Big boost in IOPS for extreme transaction oriented applications (like low latency databases) VM mobility is constrained Capacity limited – fewer VMs get performance boost Complicates Data protection scheme All Flash Storage Arrays Great for high IOPS workloads Expensive $/GB for all workloads Administratively complex if used as a silo

12. Tegile’s Unified Hybrid Approach 12 DRAM Write Speed Flash SSD Read Cache/ Metadata storage Metadata Accelerated Storage System Snapshots Replication 7,200 RPM SAS disk High Capacity Storage Metadata Backups No need for expensive 10k or 15k drives, with fast I/O handled by flash Fast I/O is handled by Fast storage; with hot Data pinned in Flash, and infrequently used blocks moved “down”. Storage Tiers are unified and managed, offering storage efficiency and protection

16. Hybrid eliminates compromises 16 Flash SSD $100 per GB Disk Tegile delivers no-compromise performance and cost for demanding virtualization and database environments, and is the only vendor that offers: 5,000 - 50,000 IOPS $1 - $10 per GB 100 - 600 IOPS DRAM $400 per GB 200,000 IOPS $1.40/IOP $1.50/IOP $13.00/IOP $1.50 per GB AND 1.50 per IOP

19. How does Tegile deliver extreme IOPS in Write performance? Leveraging the speed of both DRAM and Flash memory, the Zebi architecture delivers super-fast write performance 19 1. Fast write into DRAM 2. Copy into FLASH 3. Commit returned to host VDI environments experience high random write IOPS No commit-delay from RAID computation or disk rotational latency 4.Write to disk in a few seconds after commit DRAM FLASH DISK

20. How does inline deduplication improve performance? 20 Only unique data is stored, effectively making the cache larger Improving the likelihood of serving read requests out of SSD. Compression reduces the size of the data set Deduplication removes redundant data

21. Supporting Website Information 21 One click in the user interface configures a LUN as a backup target, virtualization store, database store or file server store Solid implementations of CIFS/NFS simultaneously available with iSCSI or fibre channel interfaces Thin provisioning, compression, and deduplication shrinks data and storage costs significantly Intelligent use of DRAM and Flash, with in-line deduplication improves both cache hits and write performance

22. Sound Bytes Built to satisfy high IOPS environments, without the cost or capacity limitations of pure SSD solution “It’s all in the Jar” – an old Prego spaghetti sauce line, but appropriate here: A single system provides NAS, SAN,, DRAM, SSD, and SAS disk – unified into a fast, deep storage system. It is protected by snapshot and replication utilities, controlled under a single management umbrella with extensive monitoring and reporting capabilities At 7x the performance, using a fraction of the rackspace and 1/10 of the power, Tegile compares favorably against traditional disk systems costing 4 times more. Traditional disk is designed to support a single operating system and one or more applications, but it runs out of transaction speed when used under a heavily virtualized environment 22

23. CIO Level Product Messaging Designed to support virtualized environments and high IO workloads No compromise – the SUV of disk storage for high IOPS workloads Delivers the performance benefits of SSD, the cost benefits of traditional modular disk, and the protection and management utilities of enterprise class storage 23
