Disruptive Innovation Term coined by Clayton Christensen in his book The Innovator's Dilemma to denote a technology that aside (or because of) its technical merit has revolutionary economics Classic examples: > Digital photography disrupted film > Steamships disrupted sailing ships > Minicomputers disrupted mainframes > EMC (with RAID- & cache-based storage) disrupted IBM in DASD > Linux/x86 disrupted UNIX/RISC Often involve a redistribution of margin: lower overall margin but much higher volume and broader market Sun Confidential: Internal Only 2
Why is the S7000 Series disruptive? Over time, the value in a storage product has trended from hardware to software......but storage hardware has remained unnecessarily custom (i.e., expensive and slow) Sun has built an appliance out of industry standard components (servers + JBODs): higher performing, cheaper...and because COGS of software is $0.00, Sun need not monetize the software directly software development costs can be paid with marginal increase in revenue Adds up to disruption: 2X performance at ½ cost The 7000 Series would have been disruptive based on these economics alone, but along came flash memory...

The disruptive effects of Flash Flash memory now sits between DRAM and 15K RPM disk in terms of performance and price: > Flash is microseconds per op, where DRAM is nanoseconds and disk is milliseconds > Flash is tens of dollars per GB, where DRAM is hundreds of dollars per GB and disk is dollars per GB Seeing this trend, we integrated flash into a hybrid storage pool, where read-optimized flash is used as a cache Cache is up to 600GB in currently shipping products, but curves are steep: headed much higher (and much cheaper!) For random-read workloads, flash + 7200 RPM drives yields 4X performance of 15K RPM drives at ¼ cost! Sun Confidential: Internal Only 4
Sun s Open Strategy General Purpose Systems + Open Source Software = Lower Costs Open Servers Open Source reduced costs and vendor lock-in Scale out architectures brought new economics Commoditisation brought increased competition Differentiation from innovative product design and packaging Open Storage Follows same server trend General purpose systems will drive storage costs down Robust Open Source soft-ware will further reduce costs Simple data administration Revolutionary analytics Open architectures will free users from vendor lock-in Open Archive Archive products built from open architectures Using general purpose systems that drive down costs Seamless integration with existing environments Leading Sun Archive software now open sourced Sun Confidential: Internal Only 5
