What is Unified Storage?Open Storage ArchitectureA solution that brings storage functions together

• Integrated HW & SW Solutions or Appliances

• Supports block and file level storage

• Common mgnt console for all storage functions

• Advanced SW features

Hybrid Storage Pool explainedArchitecture for efficient Data Management

• ZFS automatically :> Writes new data to a very fast SSD

pool used as Write Cache> Determines data access patterns

and stores frequently accessed data in the SSD Read Cache

> Bundles IO into sequential lazy writes for more efficient use of low cost mechanical disks

Focus: Reduce Complexity & CostRoot Cause Issues discovered in Minutes Not Hours

• Quick to install and configure

• Easy to analyze and optimize

• Rapidly diagnose, troubleshoot and resolve issues

• Most comprehensive self-healing

23

• Decisions based on factual data, not estimates

• “What is CPU and Memory Utilization?”

• “How much storage is being utilized?”

• “How is disk performing? How many Ops/Sec?”

• “What Services are active?”• “Which applications/users

are causing issues?”

FISHworks + AnalyticsUnprecedented real-time observability

Amber Road Key Differentiators• Open Platform

➢ Open protocols, open data formats➢ Based on Sun’s core Open Storage platform

• Industry-leading Innovation➢ Hybrid storage pool with Logzilla and Readzilla Flash

accelerators➢ DTrace Analytics for Storage

• Game-changing Economics➢ Sun is not charging for the individual software features and

protocols➢ Hybrid storage pool delivers best $/G, $/IOP, $/MB/s, W/IOP,

W/MB/s
