AGENDA

● Storage and Virtualization Market Dynamics

● Traditional Challenges with Virtualization and Storage

● Converged Virtualization Storage with Red Hat

● Maximizing the Value of Virtualization and Storage Investments

RED HAT CONFIDENTIAL | ADD NAME3

THE COST OF TRADITIONAL STORAGE IS RAPIDLY ERODING THE RETURN ON VIRTUALIZATION● Increasing virtualization footprint in

IT infrastructures globally

● 40% - 60% of virtualization dollars related to storage

● Nearly 44,000PB of storage with a total spend of $16Billion will be deployed for virtualized environments by 2016*

● Integrating virtualization and data is a must have as organizations start to define and build open, hybrid clouds

● Storage issues in virtual environments eroding efficiencies

TRADITIONAL STORAGE FORCES COMPROMISE

Costs Complexities Growth Downtime

● VM sprawl consumes expensive space on SAN infrastructures

● Staff training costs for specialized expertise

● Managing complex storage infrastructures in virtual environments

● Low storage utilization and less optimal performance

● Traditional storage systems unable to right-size on demand

● Adding SAN infrastructures to manage scalability further leads to complexities

● Concerned about avaiilability of virtual layer along with physical layer

● No DR capabilities
