    1. Acopias Intelligent File Virtualization Break free from the constraints of todays storage infrastructure

    3. Acopia Networks, Inc. Complex Mixed vendors, platforms, file systems Inflexible Access is tightly coupled to file location Disruptive to move data Inefficient Resources are under and over utilized Growing rapidly 70% annually (80% are files) The Constraints of Todays Infrastructure

    4. Acopia Networks, Inc. Simplified access Consolidated, persistent access points Flexibility Data location not bound to physical resources Optimized utilization Balances load across shared resources Leverages technology Freedom to choose most appropriate file storage Virtualization Breaks the Constraints

    5. Acopia Networks, Inc. Must support a heterogeneous infrastructure Multi-vendor, multi-platform, multi-protocol Must support real-time policy enforcement In-line intelligence Must not limit performance or growth Faster than aggregate physical resources with scale for future Must ensure data integrity & accessibility No single point of failure Key Elements of Intelligent File Virtualization

    6. Acopia Networks, Inc. Acopias Intelligent File Virtualization Works with existing infrastructure Uses industry standard NFS / CIFS No forklift upgrades, new file systems or software agents Purpose-built for real-time policy enforcement Leverages IP / Ethernet network to monitor and adapt dynamically Highest performance and scale GB/sec vs. Mb/sec throughput billions vs. millions of files Enterprise-class availability Maintains service in the event of failures

    7. Acopia Networks, Inc. Multi-platform Multi-vendor The Industrys Only Intelligent File Virtualization Engine

    8. Acopia Networks, Inc. Acopias Intelligent File Virtualization Solution

    9. Acopia Networks, Inc. Acopia Intelligent File Virtualization Architecture

    10. Acopia Networks, Inc. Data Migration with Acopia Solution: Transparent to users and applications File-level granularity NFS & CIFS support across multiple vendors Scheduled policies to automate data migration Benefits: Reduce outages and business disruption Lower operational overhead No client reconfiguration Decommissioning without disruption Automation

    11. Acopia Networks, Inc. Challenges Need to seamlessly migrate data from old filers to new Upgrade to NetApp ONTAP 7G without impacting the business Solution ARX1000 cluster Benefits Multi-terabyte data migration without disruption NAS software upgrade, system de-commissioning without downtime OPEX savings by eliminating downtime & automating migration Data Migration Case Study

    12. Acopia Networks, Inc. Storage Tiering with Acopia Solution: Automated & non-disruptive data placement of flexibly defined filesets Multi-vendor, multi-platform Clean (no stubs or links) File movement can be scheduled Benefits: Reduced CAPEX Leverage cost effective storage Reduced OPEX Reduced backup windows and infrastructure costs

    13. Acopia Networks, Inc. International trade-show company Over 600 employees worldwide; revenues >$380M Challenges Move less business critical data to less expensive storage, non-disruptively to users Solution ARX1000 cluster Benefits 50% reduction in disk spend Dramatic reduction in backup windows (from ~14 hours to ~3 hours) and backup infrastructure costs Storage Tiering Case Study

    14. Acopia Networks, Inc. Data Replication with Acopia Solution: Fileset based replication NFS & CIFS across multiple vendors Replicas may be viewed Supports multiple targets Change-based updates only (file deltas) Benefits: Freedom to use heterogeneous storage Cost effective disaster recovery

    15. Acopia Networks, Inc. Worlds largest equipment rental company Challenges Upgrade NAS platform Introduce lower cost ATA disk File-based Disaster Recovery solution Solution ARX1000 cluster at HQ & ARX1000 at remote DR facility Benefits NAS upgrade with no impact to users 50% savings through use of ATA disk Cost effective disaster recovery solution Dramatic reduction in backup and replication times Data Replication Case Study

    16. Acopia Networks, Inc. Load Balancing with Acopia Solution: Automatically balances new file placement across file servers Flexible dynamic load balancing algorithms Uses existing file storage devices Benefits: Increased application performance Improved capacity utilization Reduced outages associated with data management

    17. Acopia Networks, Inc. Load Balancing Case Study Challenges Infrastructure was a bottleneck to production of digital content Difficult to provision new storage Solution ARX6000 cluster Benefits Ability to digitize >500% more music 20% reduction OPEX costs associated with managing storage Reduction in disk spend due to more efficient utilization of existing NAS
