  1. Coraid Overview Simplicity at Scale

  2. Enabling Simplicity at Scale • Ethernet SAN technology: EtherDrive® • Price, performance and simplicity vs. legacy storage • Elastic scale-out architecture ideal for big data, cloud • Radically simplifies networked storage: VDAS • Software-Defined Storage platform: EtherCloud™ • Launched in 2012 $85m in funding($10m, $25m, $50m) 12x+ bookings growth in last 3 years 1,700+ Customers in 45+ Countries

  3. Coraid: 1,700+ Customers in 45+ Countries Enterprise Public Sector Big Data / Media Cloud

  4. Market Trends Driving Storage Disruption Storage growth is unstoppable “You vs Amazon” sets bar for enterprise IT 40 Gb Ethernet and commodity hardware win Scale-out replaces big iron 40 Gb

  5. Legacy Storage Complexity Scale-Out Servers MPIO MPIO MPIO MPIO MPIO HBA HBA HBA HBA HBA MPIO HBA No leverage of CPU Scale out Expensive, complex MPIO Proprietary network infrastructure Complex Static switch configuration(1:1 Connections, WWN, zoning, etc.) Dual Fibre Channel Switches Dual Ethernet Switches FC Replication Switches Expensive, proprietary controllers Controller bottlenecks Controller 2 Controller 2 Controller 1 Controller 1 Controller Network (FC, SAS, IB) Controller Network (FC, SAS, IB) Intelligent disk mandates forklift upgrades Scale-Up Storage Disk Subsystem Disk Subsystem

  6. Moore’s Law Drives Scale-out Economics

  7. The Software-Defined Data Center Modern Infrastructure Disruptors Legacy Systems Software-Defined Data Center Monolithic Servers Compute Proprietary Switches with Limited Programmability Software-Defined Networking Network Commoditization Commodity Switches Controller-Based Storage Software-Defined Storage Storage Scale-Out Storage

  8. Ethernet Storage: Simplicity at Scale Scale-Out Servers Automatically use all links Standard Ethernet networking … Standard x86 hardware Ethernet Switching Fabric Distributed storage processing Massively parallel storage access CorOS® Software Intelligence Linear scaling: Performance and Economics … Intelligence in the software layer Scale-Out Storage

  9. Modular, Scale-Out Architecture PACS Web App Backup Exchange VMware File System Object Coraid Ethernet SAN SATA SSD SATA SAS SAS SSD SSD SATA SATA One-Tier-for-All Benefits • Single building block to match any data requirement • Non-disruptively add new storage capacity to the network • Scale performance linearly with distributed processing architecture • Mix drive types and configuration for fine-grained performance optimization

  10. EtherCloud: Software-Defined Storage Coraid’s elastic scale-out architecture is a unique enabler for scalable, automated private and public clouds Self-Service Portals One-Click Stack Provisioning and De-Provisioning Programmatic Control via API REST APIs Storage Control Plane

  11. Decisions, Decisions, Decisions… Type Manageability Cost Performance Scalability DAS Very simple No SAN, no MPIO $ Low/Medium/High Very limited FC Complex FC switches, HBAs $$$ High Medium/High iSCSI Fairly simple $$ Low/Medium SMB focused Medium Monolithic SAN OK, until limits reached $$-$$$ Depends on config Medium Simple Appears as local disk $$ Low cost commodity High Low latency, high speed protocol Massive scalability With Coraid, you can have it all

  12. Coraid Target Focus Areas Use Case Coraid Solution • Block storage with SRX • File storage with OpenFS + SRX • EtherCloud Private and Public Clouds Backup/Data Protection • Block storage with SRX • File storage with ZX + SRX • Block storage with VSX • EtherFlashCache • EtherCloud Mid-Market Corporate IT Other use cases with good product/market fit: digital media, big data

  13. What Coraid Offers Scale-out block storage using commodity hardware Connectionless Ethernet fabric Extensive storage automation Infrastructure programmability Operational Benefits Business Benefits Flexibility • Mix and match drives, create an elastic pool for block, file and object on open storage architecture Scalability • Start small, grow as you go, scale to PB Simplicity • Simple to deploy (VDAS simplicity), grow and manage at scale Business Agility • Open storage architecture Lower CAPEX and OPEX • Incremental CAPEX • Lower management overhead (OPEX) Future-Proof Infrastructure • Off-the-shelf hardware • Standards-based technology

  14. Lower OPEX: Department of Defense • DOD needed 2 Petabytes for video and image files • VMware and Windows file shares • Saved 80%+ in OPEX • From 6 admins to 1 • Deployed all 2 PB in one day including rack, stack, and configuration

  15. Business Agility: Shutterstock • World’s largest online stock photo agency • More than 1 PB for photo storage with app-level data protection • More than 700 software releases per month MogileFS Virtual DAS Secondary Link for HA Coraid SRX “We needed a solution that could provide us with massive capacity, performance, and favorable cost, while maintaining great interoperability with our open-source infrastructure.” – Chris Fischer, Director of Web Ops

  16. Hosting and Cloud Service Provider Customers

  17. Spectrum of Storage Solutions Open Closed White-Box Open StoragePhD “Build It” Coraid Scale-Out Block Storage Big-Iron, Closed StorageLegacy Storage “Buy It” • Commodity economics • No enterprise-class support • Requires expertise to assemble and upgrade • Commodity economics • Active Response™ support • Rapid refreshes tracking hardware trends • Proprietary hardware • Long hardware refresh cycles • Enterprise-class support

  18. Technology

  19. Coraid Ethernet Storage Architecture VDAS: Shared storage presented to servers as local SCSI devices. Eliminates need for multi-pathing, link aggregation, and manual provisioning. SCSI AoE: Massively parallel L2 Ethernet on commodity 10GB (going to 40Gb/100Gb). Eliminates complexity & bandwidth bottleneck of FC. CorOS: Distributed OS for scale-out elasticity and management. Shared global namespace for control plane. EtherDrive™ – Scale-out block storage

  20. Virtual DAS (VDAS) Technology • EtherDrive SRX abstracts the SAN as a local disk • Uses 10G Ethernet as a distributed backplane • Sends disk commands and data as raw L2 Ethernet packets • Low overhead, low latency • Uses every path automatically • No multipathing, port bonding, special switches or switch configuration required • Able to write to all the drives in parallel • Location independent – Any rack or campus building on same Layer 2 network ZX (ZFS) ESX HBA HBA +Grow capacity by adding appliances to the network

  21. VDAS Benefits and Applications • Ability to scale compute and storage independently • Single pane for storage management • Location independence of shelves • Storage virtualization, features such as replication & sync mirroring built in • Single pool of storage for multiple applications Applications Benefits

  22. Open Storage Architecture Coraid = Scale-out, high-performance block storage • OpenFS Strategy • File systems provide specific capabilities • Coraid has successful multi-PB deployments behind widely-used file system object file block Object NAS REST API Automation Layer-2 Ethernet Networking 1GbE, 10GbE, 40GbE, 100GbE Coraid EtherDrive® Block Storage High-Performance, Scalable, Reliable, Simple, Affordable SATA SSD SAS
