• Delivers elastic resilient storage by enabling storage growth or contraction without disruption to the application

• Reduces the storage footprint with built-in deduplication and compression

• Automates administrator tasks and reduces impact to end-users with priority-based scheduling of storage operations

• Builds accountability with storage chargebacks for business services across multi-vendor storage

11

12

Feature Overview

• Choose what to compress: files, directories, or the whole file system

• Transparent to applications

• Reduces replication and snapshot times

Use Case

• Archival storage, File Server - ideal for long term storage and read-mostly workloads

Example

• 80,000 files, a mix of text and pictures from Symantec.com.

• Compression reduced storage needs by 70%

Reducing Storage Footprint with Compression

Without Compression

With File Compression

13

Feature Overview

• Enable deduplication per file system

• Transparent to applications

• Variable deduplication block size

• No performance impact on writes

Use Case

• Virtual Machines storage

Example

• ~100 virtual server images, a mix between Windows and Linux

• Deduplication reduced the storage footprint between 50-80% per VM

Without Deduplication

With Deduplication

Reducing Storage Footprint with Deduplication

Information to Action

• Improve operations with a single pane of glass for reporting and remediation – Run a storage utilization report and

reclaim storage with 1-click

– Receive a thin pool shortage alert and automatically provision new storage without disruption

– Meet SLAs with business service dependency mapping, incident alerts, and automatic recovery

• Deploys services faster with automated provisioning of storage by tier of business service

Virtualized and Cloud IT Models Require a New Cloud-Driven Pricing Model

• With 6.0, we are introducing a new pricing model based on actual core usage:

– Pay for the software you are using

– Utilize a flexible model that meets your changing needs - growth or contraction

– Simpler transfer process when virtualizing workloads on newer, faster, multi-core processors

– Easier license management and inventory tracking
