What’s your data growth rate? Is your storage infrastructure ready for what’s next? 5 @Dell_Enterprise Global Commercial Channels

6. Traditional storage won’t help you keep pace 6 Almost 40% of respondents have only one backup method. Documents, images and other files are growing rapidly and multiplying data silos. Plan for storage migration every 3 years. On average, nearly 40% of storage purchased is not used. Up to 95% of data is cold. Nearly 50% of organizations need to reduce backup times. 201220152018 40% 50% 40%95% 3 Inactive data is sitting on costly storage Data silos duplicate management, hardware Storage is sitting idle in the data center Backup processes slow storage during day Migrations are frequent, costly and lengthy Data protection strategies are incomplete 21 654 @Dell_Enterprise

Global Commercial Channels @Dell_Enterprise Global Commercial Channels What can Fluid Data do for you? 9 “The flexibility of our VDI environment should reduce desktop hardware replacement costs for non-persistent lab environments by 30 to 40 percent as we roll over to zero clients during our refresh cycles, resulting in a $318,000 projected CAPEX reduction for School of Business computer labs over five years.” “We replicate all of our production volumes from our remote sites to our data center and then to our disaster recovery center using Dell EqualLogic. We’ve been able to shorten our recovery time objective to one hour, instead of days to weeks.” “With automated tiering in the Dell EqualLogic arrays, we’ve reduced administration overhead by around 20 percent.” Flexible Jeremy Pollack Director of IT University of Connecticut School of Business Efficient Stefan Reitmeier Senior Network Administrator Serviceplan Group Reliable Alan Hunt Operations Manager Dickinson Wright PLLC
