Quantum Confidential | Big Data, Big Challenges  VALUE of Data –Power to analyze. –Option to monetize or repurpose  VOLUME of Data –‘Free’ data collection –Increasing data granularity –Content being stored forever  MASSIVE Data Repositories –Expensive to build, manage long-term –Siloed, offline and unretrievable 2 More valuable data generated = more to manage indefinitely

Quantum Confidential |  Scale To Petabytes and Beyond –Single-site and/or multi-geo  Protect from Data Loss Affordably –High-density disks are vulnerable to bit errors –Hardware RAID inefficient on TB+ drives –Storing multiple full copies of data $$$$  Reduce Operational Costs –Administrative/operational costs going up –Need for self-managing, self-healing –Need to reduce power and cooling  Durable for Decades –Easy migration to new disk technologies Disk Archives Don’t Scale Well 3 A new technology is required for large-scale disk archives

Quantum Confidential | Introducing Quantum Lattus Object Storage 4

Quantum Confidential | What is Quantum Lattus?  Next Generation Object Storage  Flat namespace scales indefinitely  Both HTTP REST + file system access  Fountain Coding Algorithm  A type of Forward Error Correction (FEC)  Mature technology used in communications (e.g. space missions, cell phones)  Designed with failure in mind – assumes components WILL fail  Multiple copies of encoded data distributed across object storage nodes A new disk archive with advanced architectures & algorithms

Quantum Confidential | Quantum Lattus: The Forever Disk Archive Scales indefinitely Scales to hundreds of PBs via flat object namespace High-speed, low-latency access Flexible access via NFS, CIFS, REST and StorNext FS Data easily spread across geographically dispersed sites Self-healing & self-migrating Self-healing: Extreme durability to ensure data is never lost (better than RAID) Self- migrating: Innovative algorithms simplify upgrades to new storage technologies Lower operating & capital costs “Green” drives for lower initial cost, less power & cooling required Lower maintenance costs due to higher redundancy TCO reductions of 50-70%

Quantum Confidential | 7 Quantum Lattus Scale-Out Architecture  Lattus S10 Storage Node –Extensible storage for the object data  Lattus C10 Controller Node –The brains of the Lattus object storage  Lattus A10 Access Node –Provides NAS file system access

Quantum Confidential | Disk-Based Archives – Where they Fit Primary Disk Archive Disk Nearline Tape Active Vault More demand for predictable restore times of disk archives. But with reliability and scalability at a low price $’s Per TB (List) Access and Restore Times

Quantum Confidential | Lattus-X for NAS Access Flexible NAS access to durable object storage CIFS/NFS access via A10 HTTP REST for apps 400m files per access node 9

Quantum Confidential | Lattus-M with StorNext Management StorNext policy-based tiering Includes Storage Manager keys 1 Billion Files (per MDC) Virtually unlimited scalability Integrated with StorNext for an automated, durable archive

Quantum Confidential | Quantum Lattus: The Forever Disk Archive  Scales indefinitely –Scales to 100s of petabytes –Data easily dispersed across multiple sites  Self-healing & self-migrating –Extreme durability protects data from loss –Redistribution algorithms simplify upgrades to new storage technologies  Lower capital & operating costs –Lower maintenance due to high durability –Less power & cooling required 11 Scalable, durable & cost-effective disk archives
