HDS Virtual Storage Platform 3 D Scaling: Scale Up Increase performance, capacity and connectivity tightly coupled through a global cache to meet increasing server demands. Solution Capabilities § Host servers can access all the resources that are dynamically added to the base configuration. § All the resources can act as one system for maximum performance and capacity. § Managed as one common pool of resources for more efficient utilization of resources § Dynamically scale for performance, capacity, connectivity without disruption Business Value § Industry’s highest OLTP performance for open and mainframe environments. § Grow from a small data center footprint – 19” rack § Front to rear airflow for most efficient floor planning § Highest density storage using 2. 5” drives § Host transparent migration from/to multivendor storage at 80 percent less effort and cost 3 D

HDS Virtual Storage Platform 3 D Scaling: Scale Out Solution Capabilities Increase aggregate performance, capacity, throughput, and connectivity by dynamic allocation of storage resources to satisfy multiple distributed host server requirements. § Build out the storage system by combining multiple units into a single logical system § Dynamically scales out to support the needs of different servers by prioritizing the common storage resources § Ensure safe multitenancy and quality of service through partitioning of cache and port address space. Business Value § Tailor for increasing workloads without compromise § Consolidate resources for virtual server environments 3 D § Highest data center density and lowest power consumption for the capacity stored

HDS Virtual Storage Platform 3 D Scaling: Scale Deep Storage virtualization can provide a third dimension of scaling for consolidating externally attached storage systems with virtual servers. Solution Capabilities § External storage joins the storage pool with all the functionality of the storage system § Offloads less demanding data to lower cost external storage § Simplifies management of external storage with common management, data protection, and search § Allows use of existing or legacy assets – over 200 storage systems and up to 255 PB Business Value § Increase value and useful life of existing assets § Reduce OPEX costs through a common management framework 3 D § Reduce CAPEX using lower cost tiers of external storage

Hitachi Dynamic Provisioning § Virtualize devices into a pool of capacity and allocate by pages HDP Volume (Virtual LUN) § Dynamically provision new servers in seconds § Eliminate allocated but unused waste by allocating only the pages that are used HDP Pool § Extend Dynamic Provisioning to external virtualized storage § Convert fat volumes into thin volumes by moving then into the pool 120 Response Time (ms) § Optimize storage performance by spreading the I/O across more arms LDEV LDEVLDEVs 100 80 60 40 716% more transactions 20 0 0 1, 000 2, 000 3, 000 4, 000 5, 000 Transactions (IOPS) Single LDEV Windows LVM HDP Pool 6, 000 7, 000

Today: Automated Data Mobility § Two layers of data mobility • Infrastructure layer or block level Tier 0 • Object layer or file level § Enterprise SLC Flash has 100, 000 write/format cycles Tier 1 • Wear leveling, error recovery, spares § Use virtualization and data mobility tools to move (or reprovision) the volume without disruption to any other pool or tier based on Tier 2 • Promotion or demotion • Consolidation or migration • SLO, performance or cost change § Automated with policy based management • Based upon pre-set SLAs Infrastructure/ block level Object/file level

Page Level Tiering POOL A § Different tiers of storage are now in EFD/SSD TIER 0 one pool of pages § Data is written to the highest Last Referenced SAS TIER 1 performance tier first § As it becomes less active it migrates to lower level tiers § If activity increases it will be promoted back to a higher tier § Since 20% of data accounts for 80% of the activity, only the active part of a volume will reside on the higher performance tiers. Last Referenced SATA TIER 2
