Solution: Rdx A8 JBOD, VTL (Backup) & Archive

Source: The Radicati Group, Inc. “Information Archiving

Market, 2012-2016”

Business Case: Archiving

• Majority of data are general file storage which are less frequently accessed compared to database and emails yet consumes the same cost per gigabyte as frequently accessed data

• Nightly backups are repetitive, constantly backing up unchanged files daily or weekly, again and again

• Important data needs to be archived for 7 years or more to meet regulatory requirements

• Healthcare requires archives of patient live + 1 year

Business Case: Archiving

• NAS Archive Appliance Content Addressable Storage alternative to EMC Centera

• Hot Swap RDX Media with 30 years life certified by ECMS 379 Standard

• Supports Windows, Linux & MAC• Automated HSM migrated from online NAS to near line/offline RDX• Unlimited capacity, up to 1 billion files managed• WORM Capable• Built in AES 256 Encryption• Built in Compression & Replication• Built in Audit Trail• Built in Deduplication• Built in Search File & Content by Keyword• Built in Secure Auto Erase

Solution: Infinivault Archive with no capacity limitation

• Remote offices are unable to share files with head office due to packet loss

• WAN is unable to sustain properperformance for Video, Voice & VDI

• Remote replications are ofteninterrupted or delayed

• Remote office is limited to wirelessand/or slow wan speeds

Business Case: WAN Packet Loss

• NX Appliance or VX Software on VM Ware VM is installed at each site

• Using patented technology, WAN Traffic is optimized at Layer 3 level to add parity information to packets to provide allowance for inevitable dropped packets

• RAID 5 over WAN!• Improved TCI/IP & UDP Traffic • Consistent traffic thus allows for

better file sharing, Voice, Video & VDI

Solution: WAN Optimization Software and/or Appliances

Business Case: Need higher IOPS for Database & Virtualization• Most intensive read & write

applications are database and virtualization

• External SANs do not scale out to accommodate growth in applications and number of virtual machines

• All IOPS bottlenecks are at RAID Controller Cache Level and at best Supplemented by extra SSD

• Latency at disk level is 1,000 times longer than raid cache

Solution: Implement NAND Flash onto PCI-e Bus

Optimized for Disks

The Performance of a SAN…

…in the Palh of your Hand

Optimized for Flash

• Integrates with servers at the system bus and kernel level, creating a new Flash memory tier

• Not an SSD—easily outperforms dozens of SSDs and a single server

• Accelerates applications, improves response times, and boosts efficiency

• Reduces storage latencies and eliminates I/O bottlenecks

• Delivers the performance of thousands of disk drives in a single server

• Up to 1.28TB of enterprise-grade, solid-state Flash

• Available io Turbine (for VMWare) to accelerate Reads from other vendor’s SAN

Solution: Implement NAND Flash onto PCI-e Bus
