Public Clouds: Driven by Intelligent Software Admins / Users CLOUD UI/API ADVANTAGES Commodity hardware PUBLIC CLOUD Software-driven Ops Unified single software stack Automated Resource Mgmt ZeroStack Inc. zerostack.com 5

How Can Private Clouds Compete? Today Private cloud cost & operational complexity Customer Wants Public cloud s ease of use & AI driven Ops Control Customization 24x7 on-call support Data and workload locality Seamless public cloud integration ZeroStack Inc. zerostack.com 6

5 Requirements For Success Data locality, Security Private Cloud Performance, Visibility Integrate with Public Clouds Optimize Resource Management Lower Operational Complexity using Smart Software Integrated cloud software stack Lower Infrastructure Cost ZeroStack Inc. zerostack.com 7

1. Lower Infrastructure Cost Use Hyper-convergence Compute and storage combined Seamless scale out On demand scaling No Silos Key Metric: Leverage your Existing Hardware Solution should work with standard servers Solution should be able to use existing storage Hyper-convergence and server/storage Flexibility ZeroStack Inc. zerostack.com 8

2. Fully Integrated Software Stack Use a turnkey software stack Should have software defined-compute Should have software defined-storage Should have software defined-networking Built-in monitoring Built-in dashboards Key Metric: Deployment Time Minutes, days, weeks?? Directly translates to cost for your team Integrated software stack with monitoring & operations ZeroStack Inc. zerostack.com 9

3. Lower Operational Complexity Use Smart Software for Manual, Error-prrone tasks Self-monitoring software Self-healing design Seamless patching, upgrades Fixing a failure quickly often leads to errors Key Metric: How are hardware, software failures handled Look for self healing capabilities Lower the burden on your teams Self-healing software architecture ZeroStack Inc. zerostack.com 10

4. Optimize Resource Management Use Data-driven & analytics based resource management Built-in application based capacity planning Insights for right sizing Insights on next set of server configurations Key Metric: Decisions not dashboards Look for help in critical decision making Lower the dependence on gut feelings and excel sheets Data driven insights and efficiency optimizations ZeroStack Inc. zerostack.com 11

5. Integrate With Public Clouds Leverage Public Cloud For its strengths Public clouds are a great fit for certain use cases Leverage them as additional platform Use them to provide choice, flexibility Key Metric: Migrate application to/from AWS Look for migration capability and not just provisioning Suggest public cloud usage for certain workloads Leverage Public Clouds for Choice & Flexibility ZeroStack Inc. zerostack.com 12
