Offloaded Data Transfer (ODX)Token-based data transfer between intelligent storage arrays

Benefits• Rapid virtual machine provisioning

and migration.• Faster transfers on large files.• Minimized latency.• Maximized array throughput.• Less CPU and network use.• Performance not limited by network

throughput or server use.• Improved datacenter capacity and

scale.

• Ability to leverage Windows Azure cloud services to back up data.

• Backs up data to Azure

on a user set schedule.

• Reduced cost for backup storage and management.

• Ideal for small businesses, branch offices, and departmental business needs.

PROTECTING YOUR DATA

Online protection: StorSimple

Applicationsin physical orvirtual servers

Benefits1. Data tiered to Azure depending on usage patterns.2. Fast on-ramp to the cloud.3. Seamlessly integrates cloud based archive, backup,

DR with primary storage.4. Reduce enterprise storage TCO by 60-80%.5. Ideal for File server workloads, Sharepoint Archives, VM

Archives

What is itAppliance that connects Windows servers to Azure storage in minutes with no application modification.

F: StorSimple iSCSI Cloud Volume

PROTECTING YOUR DATA

New On-premise Storage Options

• Virtualization of storage with storage pools and storage spaces.

• Storage resilience and availability with commodity hardware.

• Data automatically tiered across memory, SSD and spinning disks.

• Write-back cache to absorb spike in random writes.

• Resiliency and data redundancy through n-way mirroring or parity mode.

• Utilization optimized through thin and trim provisioning and enclosure awareness.

• Integration with other Windows Server 2012 capabilities.

• SSD, Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) and Serial AT Attachment (SATA) interconnects.
