3 What is HCI? Hyper Converged Infrastructure (HCI) is the integration of Compute virtualization (vsphere) Storage virtualization (vsan) Hardware vsan Ready Nodes Certified hardware running vsphere + vsan 15+ server OEMs, lots of choices from each vendor Any aspect of the Ready Node can be customized further via flexible component HCL VxRail (sold by Dell EMC, powered by vsan) Appliance available in various different options Prescriptive hardware and software, fully integrated at factory #STO1378BE CONFIDENTIAL 3

4 vsan s mission: Radically simple HCI with choice Our mission: Build storage HCI that is radically simple to buy, set up, operate Build storage HCI for vsphere admins Be easy for 2 nodes, and 1000 nodes alike Allow for full automation of every aspect of management What this means: Build an "appliance-like" experience, on your choice of hardware Deep integration with vsphere and vsphere workflows All aspects of vsphere need to be radically simple Choice and Simplicity #STO1378BE CONFIDENTIAL 4
