SMB Overview

• Customer
• Transitioning from internal to external storage
• No dedicated storage administrator
• Cost conscious and value driven
• Require quick and simple implementation
• Solution vs. technology driven
• Challenges
• Growing beyond limitations of internal storage
• Trying to stay within their limited budgets
• Limited IT resources and expertise
• Increasing data protection / recovery at a
  reasonable cost
• Unaware of functionality that would add value to
  their business

5
Customers Storage Requirements Are Evolving

• Protection you have more to lose
• Performance Addressing new application demands
  and data loads
• Availability more people need access more
  often
• Scalability growth without disrupting
  operations
• Flexibility select the options based on your
  needs
• Manageability Manage more data with less
  resources

6
External Disk Storage Opportunity
PB 2-3 (5-15K) are growing much faster than the
higher price bands

• Market growth drivers
• Higher storage requirements from fundamental file
  and print, email, web serving, database
  applications across all business segments
• New, innovative applications such as security,
  digital media, and imaging

Serial Attached SCSI Technology
11
SAS is superior to SCSI

• SCSI is in its 7th generation with the U320 SCSI
  and has reached its final iteration
• Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) is the successor to
  parallel SCSI
• New roadmap and the industry-wide acceptance
• Offers significant performance enhancements
• 3-Gbps SAS x4 wide ports provide a cumulative
  bandwidth of up to 12-Gbps for host connectivity
  and expansion
• SAS will become the interface of choice for
  entry-level storage and servers
• SAS and SATA drive compatibility supports tiered
  storage

What is Tiered Storage? Tiered Storage is a term
used when customers divide their storage
according to their datasrequirements. For
example data that is most commonly used in read
environments is stored on cost-effective SATA
disks, while transactional data (databases) is
stored on SAS disks thatare suited for random
read / write operations.
