The Problem – Shrinking Budgets, Growing Storage Requirements

With typical SANs:

• Costs are high You often pay for features you don’t need

• Performance potential is not reached Storage controllers and back-end switches clog performance High-level functions consume performance (and add complexity)

• Reliability could be better Disks fail – the more disks you have, the worse it gets Storage controllers and back-end switches also can fail

Emprise 5000 Highlights

• Built on patented Intelligent Storage Element (ISE™) technology Better performance: More IOPS/MBps, linear performance scale Dense capacity: 30% less data center space, linear capacity scale,

efficient capacity utilization Greater reliability: More than 100x the reliability of traditional disk drives,

no more disk replacements

• Flexible storage building block: Attach one directly to a server or many via a switch

• Easy to use, with minimal attention or tuning needed

• Like nothing else on the market, providing the lowest TCO of any SAN-like system

Intelligent Storage Element (ISE)The heart of Emprise 5000 – unmatched reliability, performance, and scalability

Reliability• Reduced heat & vibration• Drive reconditioning• Granular recovery• Self-healing/sparing

Performance• Integrated drive &

controller software• Cache, RAID, and

drive management closer to drives

• 1GB cache per ISE

Scalability• 10-20x typical drive size• Linear performance scale• DAS to SAN

Emprise 5000 vs. Traditional SANs

With Emprise 5000, you:

• Don’t pay for what you don’t need Emprise 5000 is all muscle, no fluff

• Get everything you pay for Emprise 5000 gives you full performance and capacity every time

you add a system

• Keep your data safe ISE technology dramatically reduces disk drive failures Removing controllers and back-end switches removes potential for

failure of those components

• Do it all for the lowest possible cost

Get Everything You Pay For

• Typical SANs limit true performance and scalability Performance is slowed by controllers and back-end switches Scalability is limited by how many drives you can effectively put

behind the controllers

• Emprise 5000 systems eliminate controllers and back-end switches Data can flow freely at top speed Scalability is easy: Start with one Emprise 5000 system

connected to a server or connect multiple systems via a switch Performance and capacity scale linearly

Keep Your Data Safe

• With typical SANs disk failure is inevitable and costly Drive failures cost you time – someone must replace the failed drive During rebuilds you are at risk of a second disk failure, causing data loss

or the need to recover from backup – plus performance often plummets Human errors, such as replacing the wrong disk, are all too common and

can lead to data loss Cost of replacing failed drives is built into most other vendors’

maintenance contracts

• The controllers and back-end switches in typical SANs introduce additional components that can, and do, fail

• Emprise 5000, built on ISE technology, provides reliability other storage systems can’t touch
