5 Traditional storage won t help you keep pace Storage is sitting idle in Inactive data is sitting on the data center costly storage Data silos duplicate management, hardware 40% 95% On average, nearly 40% of storage purchased is not used. Up to 95% of data is cold. Documents, images and other files are growing rapidly and multiplying data silos. Backup processes slow Data protection storage during day strategies are incomplete Migrations are frequent, costly and lengthy 50% 40% Nearly 50% of organizations need to reduce backup times. Almost 40% of respondents have only one backup method Possible storage migration every 3 years. 5

8 What can Fluid Data do for you? Efficient Stefan Reitmeier Senior Network Administrator Serviceplan Group 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 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. Reliable Alan Hunt Operations Manager Dickinson Wright PLLC 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. 8
