Award Winning Storage Why we chose EqualLogic? Best of class SAN and cloud technologies EqualLogic wins best storage system award for the second year in a row this design brought improved performance that matched particularly well with the needs of virtualization. -- InfoWorld, January 2011 3
Online Tech Data Centers High Availability Data Centers Multiple data centers, fiber connected Allow for offsite backup Ideal for: SAN-to-SAN replication High-Availability Production Sites Disaster Recovery Sites Data centers on separate power grids 53 Miles Apart Gigabit Fiber Between Locations 4
Audited Data Centers SAN data is important, keep it secure Data remains safe and compliant SAS 70 Type II Audited Since 2009 SSAE 16 Type II Audited in 2011 Currently Operating Under SOC 2/SOC 3 Compliance Includes Managed Services Similar to ISO 9000 or SOX Audits Assurance of High Level Security & Internal Controls Required for Public Company Data to Comply with SOX Foundation for HIPAA and PCI Compliance 5

EqualLogic Major Points Auto-Replication Included free-of-charge with all EqualLogic SAN s Provides the ability to replicate data volumes to peer EqualLogic storage arrays in remote sites (data centers, remote offices, etc ) Disaster recovery option in case the primary group is destroyed A point-in-time replication solution Can use manual transfer utility w/ removable media for large data loads under limited bandwidth environments For large data loads, you can replicate SAN s side by side on same local network 8
EqualLogic Major Points Auto-Replication cont. Asynchronous replication with incremental data updates after initial seed Multiple replication options exist Ability to use fast failback after the secondary site becomes the primary SAN, only deltas are copied back Any TCP/IP network works Must balance amount of data change with available network resources and given replication time window 9
Basic Replication Both SAN s onsite, replicate locally One SAN in site A, one SAN in site B, replicate over the network 10

Multiple to Single Replication Chicago Cleveland Ann Arbor 13 Fort Wayne
Server Performance Auto Replication = background process Little impact on performance of servers But, if heavy I/O exists, replication will take longer Use SANHQ to monitor I/O and choose best replication window 14
RTO/RPO Recovery Time Objective (RTO) 24 hours to back up, etc. Recovery Point Objective (RPO) Acceptable loss or time gap that is ok Both must align with DR plan and storage architecture 15
SAN Auto-replication Replicate volumes to remote sites over any distance Easy to configure and set up Quick recovery and availability of data volumes Leverages existing IP network infrastructure and expertise No impact to application performance Comprehensive SAN software - - - included!!! Investment protection Consistent performance Storage infrastructure flexibility Data Protection, no compromise Network 16
Summary SAN-to-SAN Replication Ideal for production and disaster recovery All inclusive functionality, proven storage solution Powerful & simplified management Efficient enterprise scalability Seamless scaling of both performance and capacity Investment protection no fork-lift upgrades Y2Cloud next week in Tech Town... 17
