14 Top Use Cases for Centera to ECS Migration 14 of Dell - Internal Use - Confidential

15 Centera Capacity Consolidation LEVERAGE ONE UNSTRUCTURED STORAGE PLATFORM PROBLEM Explosive data growth has expanded Centera footprint Considered CVA, but unwilling to accept performance impact Managing separate clusters drives up OPEX SOLUTION Consolidate 10 Centeras to 2 ECS appliances VALUE Reduce costs Consolidating to 1 ECS appliance saves $ in heating/cooling per year Simplify management Reduce complexity by using 1 simple interface Scale easily to meet demand Elastic storage enables seamless expansion via adding new drives, nodes or racks 15

16 Mixing Centera Compliance Modes LEVERAGE ONE FLEXIBLE COMPLIANCE PLATFORM PROBLEM Multiple Corporate and Industry compliance requirements result in different product requirements Centera implements compliance at the cluster level Customers with diverse compliance environments must implement multiple Centera clusters in order to ensure adherence to compliance requirements SOLUTION One ECS appliance with tailored Namespace and Bucket settings to meet the compliance requirements for each workload VALUE Tailored Compliance Comply with all Corporate and Industry regulations don t settle for one size fits all! Reduce costs Consolidating to 1 ECS appliance saves $ in heating/cooling per year Simplify management Reduce complexity by using 1 simple interface 16

17 Global Content Repository ON-PREMISE UNSTRUCTURED STORAGE PLATFORM PROBLEM Can t cost-effectively manage or scale storage to support explosive growth in unstructured content Centera lacks a global namespace and not suited for new Web, mobile and cloud applications Difficult and costly to manage data lifecycle and retention policies across archive silos and sites Applications Tiering, Archiving, Backup SOLUTION ECS Appliances with global namespace VALUE Reduce complexity and cost one globally accessible, geo-efficient archive that serves multiple applications and content types at lower cost than public cloud Anywhere data access All data globally accessible by Web, mobile and cloud apps Enterprise-grade data protection Efficient geo-protection and policy-based retention for basic compliance and governance L.A. Memphis U.K. 17

18 Healthcare Storage Platform EFFICIENT, SECURE, GEO-CAPABLE STORAGE PROBLEM Centera doesn t offer native encryption, requiring customers to implement at the application level Centera architecture not optimized for multi-site, mobile access to content Use of proprietary CAS API complicates development SOLUTION ECS Appliance with open APIs and Encryption VALUE Secure Data Storage Implement Data at Rest Encryption (D@RE) to ensure data security Anywhere access - Provides anywhere access to geo-replicated content Unmatched access and efficiency - Geo-protection, active-active architecture optimizes both access and storage efficiency for large and small files 18

19 Modern Application Platform EFFICIENT GEO-CAPABLE STORAGE & ANYWHERE ACCESS PROBLEM Centera architecture not optimized for multi-site, mobile access to content Writing to multiple file systems and proprietary APIs complicates development Can t access or process large data sets SOLUTION EMC ECS Appliance (Object and HDFS) VALUE Anywhere access - Provides anywhere access to geo-replicated content Simpler, faster development - Supports multiple industry standard APIs/protocols and anywhere access with strong consistency Unmatched access and efficiency - Geo-protection, active-active architecture optimizes both access and storage efficiency for Big Data large and small files L.A. Memphis U.K. 19

20 Archive Tier for Isilon/DataDomain COST EFFECTIVE LONG TERM RETENTION PROBLEM Infrequently accessed data occupies valuable space on Isilon/DataDomain Cold data must still be retained to meet corporate / industry compliance requirements Tape is too risky to rely on for long term retention Isilon CloudPools with ECS DataDomain CloudTier SOLUTION VALUE Reduce Costs - Costs less than public cloud - provides onpremises security Secure, Reliable LTR Improved reliability and availability compared to tape 20
