MODERN APPS ARE BREAKING
TRADITIONAL STORAGE
NOT DESIGNED FOR MODERN APPLICATIONS AND HYPERSCALE

Architecture is too complex


Locking, replication, High Availability, geo-
distribution is complex

Not Web or firewall friendly


Distributed (WAN) access is complex

Storage silos impede development


Different hardware for every data type and
access protocol

NEW DEMANDS FOR HYPERSCALE
SOFTWARE-DEFINED STORAGE AND COMMODITY ARE FOUNDATIONAL

The Potential

Reduce storage costs with


7:1 Savings
commodity off-the-shelf (COTS)
components and standard, open
technologies
The Reality

Individual components provide


lower performance, lower
reliability, etc.
You need sufficient scale, the right
software, and operational expertise Storage Appliance Commodity Hardware

to provide a reliable, scalable


infrastructure #EMCECS

WHAT DO CUSTOMERS NEED?

Customer need simple, API-


accessible, software-based
storage
that can be deployed on
commodity off-the-shelf
components

in a hyperscale architecture

ECS IS COMMODITY INNOVATION
ECS BRINGS HYPERSCALE AND RAS TO COMMODITY

COTS components
X86 Servers, Ethernet networking, SATA disk drives

EMC Innovation in:


Market leading software-defined object storage
engine
How the software and hardware are integrated to
enable scalability and serviceability!
