1. Windows Azure Conference 2014 Hybrid Cloud Storage: StorSimple and Windows Azure

2. Windows Azure Conference 2014 Introduction

3. Windows Azure Conference 2014

4. 4 Primary storage growth Growth of infrequently used data Growth of backup and long term data retention Growth in datacenter sprawl and equipment High-cost, untested disaster recovery infrastructure Traditional storage data center architecture Primary Storage Archival Storage Disk based backup storage Tape infrastructure and management Off-site DR and geo- resiliency Storage Today = Complex & Expensive (and not necessary for all workloads)

5. Windows Azure Conference 2014 StorSimple Cloud Integrated Storage (CiS) Hybrid cloud storage: a simplified approach Primary Storage Archival Storage Disk based backup storage Tape infrastructure and management Off-site DR and geo- resiliency Hybrid Cloud Storage = Simplified + Cost Optimized (ideal for many standard datacenter use cases) Primary storage growth Pay-as you- grow for infrequently accessed, “cold” data Pay-as you- grow for backup and long term retention A single, consolidated solution provided by one vendor Simplified DR to any StorSimple solution

6. Windows Azure Conference 2014 Capacity Time Windows Azure Storage StorSimple Hybrid cloud storage ideal for unstructured data Data grows exponentially Most I/O happens to the “working set” of data Access Time Unstructured Data StorSimple is ideally suited for workloads generating lots of data that is accessed only briefly in its lifecycle. Working-set of data

7. Windows Azure Conference 2014 Single vendor for hybrid cloud storage (integrated on- premise and cloud storage) Single vendor for hybrid cloud storage (integrated on- premise and cloud storage) Lower infrastructure and management cost Automated data tiering to the cloud Automated local and remote backup Pay-as-you- grow OP-EX model for data stored in the cloud Use cloud as secondary datacenter; recover data anywhere

11. Windows Azure Conference 2014 Connects Windows Servers to Windows 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% Application Servers Inactive Data + Backup Copies in Cloud Speed of SSD/SAN + Elasticity of Cloud SAS Local Tier Most Active Data on SSD StorSimple CiS Azure Storage Learn more: microsoft.com/storsimple

12. Windows Azure Conference 2014 StorSimple and automatic tiering

13. Windows Azure Conference 2014 Flow of data with automated tiering SSD Application or File servers SAS Linear Data Deduplicated Data Deduplicated & Compressed Data Deduplicated, Compressed, & Encrypted Data Automatically moving data to the next tier occurs when tiers are about 80% full The least recently accessed fingerprint in the tier is the first to move to the next tier

14. Windows Azure Conference 2014 Deduplication and compression Deduplication is done at the block level; across all volumes within a cloud account No duplicated blocks between snapshots Optimizes the utilization of SSD capacity, improving performance Minimizes size of data transfer and storage in Azure. Also, reduces data download and recovery times Fingerprints are content addressable, enabling transparent capacity expansion to Azure storage On-premise data capacity can be increased by 2x – 5x based on the type of data stored
