22. Source: The Radicati Group, Inc. “Information Archiving Market, 2012- 2016” Business Case: Archiving

23. Majority of data are general file storage which are less frequently accessed compared to database and emails yet consumes the same cost per gigabyte as frequently accessed data Nightly backups are repetitive, constantly backing up unchanged files daily or weekly, again and again Important data needs to be archived for 7 years or more to meet regulatory requirements Healthcare requires archives of patient live + 1 year Business Case: Archiving

24. NAS Archive Appliance Content Addressable Storage alternative to EMC Centera Hot Swap RDX Media with 30 years life certified by ECMS 379 Standard Supports Windows, Linux & MAC Automated HSM migrated from online NAS to near line/offline RDX Unlimited capacity, up to 1 billion files managed WORM Capable Built in AES 256 Encryption Built in Compression & Replication Built in Audit Trail Built in Deduplication Built in Search File & Content by Keyword Built in Secure Auto Erase Solution: Infinivault Archive with no capacity limitation

25. Remote offices are unable to share files with head office due to packet loss WAN is unable to sustain proper performance for Video, Voice & VDI Remote replications are often interrupted or delayed Remote office is limited to wireless and/or slow wan speeds Business Case: WAN Packet Loss

26. NX Appliance or VX Software on VM Ware VM is installed at each site Using patented technology, WAN Traffic is optimized at Layer 3 level to add parity information to packets to provide allowance for inevitable dropped packets RAID 5 over WAN! Improved TCI/IP & UDP Traffic Consistent traffic thus allows for better file sharing, Voice, Video & VDI Solution: WAN Optimization Software and/or Appliances

27. Business Case: Need higher IOPS for Database & Virtualization Most intensive read & write applications are database and virtualization External SANs do not scale out to accommodate growth in applications and number of virtual machines All IOPS bottlenecks are at RAID Controller Cache Level and at best Supplemented by extra SSD Latency at disk level is 1,000 times longer than raid cache
