  1. Changing the Game: Moving from Reactive to Proactive High Availability Luigi Mercone Senior Director, Product Strategy

  2. Storage and Availability Objectives Increase availability and DR readiness • What isn’t Mission Critical? • Maintenance windows shrinking • Site consolidation & A-A DR Manage storage growth • Improve operations • Reduce cost per GB • Utilize existing assets Reduce cost with new technology • Server virtualization • x86 servers • Thin storage

  3. Agenda Drive Out Downtime 1 Transform Operations 2 Leverage Existing Infrastructure Virtualize, Consolidate, and Scale 3 4

  4. VERITAS Cluster Server Vision Standardize, without compromise,on a single HA/DR platform We are focused on helping you • Drive out downtime • Transform operations • Leverage existing infrastructure • Virtualize, consolidate, and scale GOAL

  5. Protect Data with FlashSnap, VVR DR Testing with Firedrill Primary Site DR Site 02:00 05:00 06:00 07:00 VSS Integrated Disk-based Point-in-time snapshots 3 1 Site 2 Site 1 2 Sync, Async, Sync-Override Intelligent Local Failover Protect Access to Data with DMP Failover factoring in load & capacity EXC SQL MPIO Integrated Multi-Pathing EXC SQL D A B C Protect Application with VCS Campus Cluster Coordination Primary Site DR Site Site A Site B Storage Growth at the Correct Site Local, Metro and Wide-area HA/DR Foundations to Drive Out Downtime With Application, Data & Infrastructure Protection

End-to-End, comprehensive protection Deep application awareness for Exchange, SQL, Oracle, SAP, others Transparent to application administrators Simple to deploy and maintain No need for passive standby hardware and resources VM B VM B SQL IIS SQL VERITAS Cluster Server for VMware Hardware (x86) Hardware (x86) VM A VM C VM D VMware ESX VMware ESX VCS VCS

  16. VCS Compared With VMware HA If the application fails, VMware HA is not aware VMware HA is not aware of network or storage connectivity failures * Future releases ** Experimental support (not supported by VMware)
