What’s driving interest?

Ability to respond quickly to business threats or

opportunities

Simplify operations with software-driven automation and

life cycle management

Public-cloud efficiency and economics, but with

peace of mind ofon premises

Start small and easily scale up or scale out

while maintaining performance levels

Improve efficiency and lower operational costs

Main drivers

Agility Simplicity Modernization Scalability

Bridging the Data Protection Gap

Data protection starts with the core infrastructure

XC Series Built In Data Protection

• Local backup using VM-centric snapshots

• Flexible cloning of snapshots

• Data replication across multiple sites– Ability to recover from, or fail over to remote

site

• Cloud connectivity to backup to public cloud services
