2 What is our customers want to achieve An IT service centric, automated data center Infrastructure Centric Data Center IT Service Centric Data Center Business View Maintainer Infrastructure provider Cost Center Characteristics Fixed Slow Custom Fragmented Disconnected Unpredictable Manual Business View Innovator Service Provider Growth Enabler Characteristics Elastic Nimble Modular Integrated Streamlined High quality Automated 2

3 What issues is IT facing today? Rolling out new IT services takes longer than expected Inefficient IT leads to difficulty supporting the business Manual and often disconnected processes impact service quality Just 29% of business users consider IT to be distributed, agile, & flexible 28% Invest 24% Replace/Expand existing 48% Maintain Up to 75% of downtime is caused by human error Source: InformationWeek survey of IT perception October 2012 Source: Forrester Research, Inc., Forrsights Budgets & Priorities Tracker Survey April, 2013 Source: The causes & costs of data center system downtime Advisory Board Q&A June 2011

4 How IT should be Open Intuitive Automated End to end Open with an architecture that integrates with the IT of today & tomorrow Heterogeneous with investment protection, supporting legacy infrastructure from multiple vendors Intuitive to set-up and easy to keep using with unified management & easy integration with 3rd party tools Modular, pre-sized & prebuilt, to speed initial set-up & ensure reliable performance Automated with templates built on best practices to ensure accurate & consistent results with maximum speed Scalable with a capability to easily reallocate resources End to end with solutions & services paired with unified support to ensure the highest quality IT customer experience Easy to buy, deploy, & manage with low capital & operating costs 4

5 Operational Efficiency What s different about our enterprise approach? The new proprietaries Costly solutions where operational savings are consumed by high costs with a lock-in penalty Operational costs Capital costs $ $$$ The Optimized Enterprise An end-to-end approach that delivers superior performance and efficiency Breakthrough performance & efficiency Greater IT agility & reliability Solutions that scale Operational costs Capital costs $ $ Legacy systems Complex, monolithic systems that lock in and don t scale Operational costs Capital costs $$$ $$$ Commodity systems and services Low-cost commodity components with no solutions value-add Operational costs Capital costs $$$ $ Performance/Value 5 Enterprise Solutions
