BENEFITS OF TIERING TO CLOUD STORAGE
2. Reduce on-site storage footprint, management, life cycle
3. Maximize storage utilization
4. Enable initiatives that extend to cloud compute
1. Elastically increase storage capacity

*” The Copy Data Management Challenge” IDC. January 2014.
Inefficient resource allocation:
• Capacity restraints
• High management costs
• Larger local footprint
*65%of storage system capacity is used to store non-
primary, inactive data
WHO NEEDS CLOUD TIERING?
6© Copyright 2016 EMC Corporation. All rights reserved.© Copyright 2016 EMC Corporation. All rights reserved.
MOVE INACTIVE DATA TO THE CLOUD
Move archive, NAS, and other
infrequently accessed data to the
cloud for an elastic, more cost
effective storage strategy

CLOUD-READINESS: TIER NOW OR LATER
• Strategic
– Leverage investments in cloud/object storage
– Jump start cloud initiatives over next 3-5 yrs
• Beneficial
– Efficient use of storage resources• Improved utilization of primary storage
• Pay as you go capacity expansion (esp. public cloud storage)
– Centralized control of data • In a hybrid cloud/on-premise environment
• With enhanced interoperability, availability
– Future-ready, without cloud commitment• Start cloudless
• Add/change cloud providers in the future

IN-CLOUD SNAPSHOTS FOR DATA PROTECTION
• Pointer based, in-cloud snapshots are space efficient and use no bandwidth
• Schedule recurring snapshots with customized retention policies
• Rapid recovery by mounting old snapshots
• Eliminate traditional backups
14© Copyright 2016 EMC Corporation. All rights reserved.© Copyright 2016 EMC Corporation. All rights reserved.
MINIMIZE NETWORK IMPACT & REDUCE OVERALL CLOUD FOOTPRINT
• Bandwidth scheduler & throttler enables you to minimize network impact during business hours
• Optimize WAN and reduce footprint in cloud with data compression
• Pre-flight compression reduces amount of data replicated and stored in the cloud
15© Copyright 2016 EMC Corporation. All rights reserved.© Copyright 2016 EMC Corporation. All rights reserved.
INCREASED SECURITY
• Cloud providers offer massive physical infrastructure protection
• CloudArray adds AES-256 bit, pre-flight encryption which protects data during replication as well as in the cloud
• Local key management prevents cloud providers from ever accessing encrypted data
