Agenda

Application storage in todays clo Todays IaaS performance option Core functionality

Cloud scale-ability Performance virtualization Profitable efficiency Complete management automation

Fueling new opportunities in your Live Product Demonstration


3/31

Why dont allapplicationsrun in the

cloud today?

Cloud not seen as ready for busiapplications

Concerns about security, availabperformance

Limited storage options are a hug Capacity is cheap, performance is ex Dedicated storage cost prohibitive Multi-tenant storage performance hig

Cant replicate the consistency aan enterprise datacenter


4/31

ApplicationStorageOptions in

todays cloud

DAS limited capacity and perno HA, limited flexibility

Object suitable for backup anpoor choice for primary storage

SAN / NAS no performance gwithin shared infrastructure, cocomplex to manage, unable to

lacks multi-tenant security feat


5/31

What if cloudproviderscould

achieve

Guaranteed performance to thouapplications

Storage QoS with firm SLAs Provision storage as quickly as c PB scale within a single manage Complete automation and end-us Differentiation on cost, quality, an

services


6/31


Its time for a bold new directio

Only SolidFire offers the solution for runningbusiness-critical applications in the cloud.

Architecture Discussion


23/31

Data laid out contiguously Thick provisioned Simple map from start of LUN to

physical space offset No sharing of data blocks

between LUNs Enables: Capacity virtualization

SAN 1.0


24/31

Data laid out mostly contiguously Physical space allocated in

chunks (1MB-1GB) Controller = mapping engine Enables:

Thin provisioning Storage tiering

SAN 2.0


25/31

Completely separate datastorage from higher levelrepresentations

Allocate physical space in byte-size chunks

Optimize storage of smallblocks

Utilize entire drive pool forevery volume

Enables: Performance virtualization

SolidFire Era


26/31

Stores all data blocks fromall volumes Implemented as a distributed

CAS/SIS Duplicate blocks never

stored Hides details of underlying

storage from higher levels No direct mapping of blocks

back to volumes

Block Storage


27/31

Compact representation ofdata in a volume Allows for standard volume-

based abstraction of data Tracks BlockID for each LBA

in the volume Allows for efficient:

Thin provisioning Cloning & Snapshots

Remote replication

Volume Metadata
