What is Unified Storage?Open Storage ArchitectureA solution that brings storage functions together
• Integrated HW & SW Solutions or Appliances
• Supports block and file level storage
• Common mgnt console for all storage functions
• Advanced SW features

Hybrid Storage Pool explainedArchitecture for efficient Data Management
• ZFS automatically :> Writes new data to a very fast SSD
pool used as Write Cache> Determines data access patterns
and stores frequently accessed data in the SSD Read Cache
> Bundles IO into sequential lazy writes for more efficient use of low cost mechanical disks

Focus: Reduce Complexity & CostRoot Cause Issues discovered in Minutes Not Hours
• Quick to install and configure
• Easy to analyze and optimize
• Rapidly diagnose, troubleshoot and resolve issues
• Most comprehensive self-healing
23
• Decisions based on factual data, not estimates
• “What is CPU and Memory Utilization?”
• “How much storage is being utilized?”
• “How is disk performing? How many Ops/Sec?”
• “What Services are active?”• “Which applications/users
are causing issues?”
FISHworks + AnalyticsUnprecedented real-time observability

Amber Road Key Differentiators• Open Platform
➢ Open protocols, open data formats➢ Based on Sun’s core Open Storage platform
• Industry-leading Innovation➢ Hybrid storage pool with Logzilla and Readzilla Flash
accelerators➢ DTrace Analytics for Storage
• Game-changing Economics➢ Sun is not charging for the individual software features and
protocols➢ Hybrid storage pool delivers best $/G, $/IOP, $/MB/s, W/IOP,
W/MB/s
