Software solution for creating cloud storage infrastructure

With ParaScale you can build a storage cloud in your own data center

Accessed and managed like a single NAS device

Your choice of commodity hardware

Why ParaScale

Economical – Linux on commodity hardware

Easy – No changes to applications or users

Secure – Your datacenter and IT team

Fast – Local network speeds for data access

Elastic – Massive scalability that can start small

Flexible – Manage data based on value via policies

Automatic – data migration, expansion and failure recovery

Simple – One administrator per multiple petabytes

Offload to the Cloud and Save Money The challenge with file servers You are paying for performance when you only need capacity All access is transferred to the new server The solution Transparently migrate cold data into a ParaScale private cloud Benefits of cloud offload You can expand performance (Tier-1) OR capacity (cloud) as required Access to data does not change Administrator cost reduced Backup overhead is removed

The challenge with file servers

You are paying for performance when you only need capacity

All access is transferred to the new server

The solution

Transparently migrate cold data into a ParaScale private cloud

Benefits of cloud offload

You can expand performance (Tier-1) OR capacity (cloud) as required

Access to data does not change

Administrator cost reduced

Backup overhead is removed

A Better Way to Backup to Disk The challenge with disk-to-disk backup Proprietary hardware and software is expensive Solutions don’t scale beyond a single box Backups are bottlenecked to one device All backup sets are treated the same The solution Backup to a highly flexible and scalable ParaScale Private Cloud Benefits of disk-to-cloud backup User selected commodity hardware running Linux Scale to PBs with just-in-time provisioning Parallel write streams for faster backups Use policies to manage data based on value Integrated replication for high availability User data partitioned and protected by policy User data co-mingled and protected as one

The challenge with disk-to-disk backup

Proprietary hardware and software is expensive

Solutions don’t scale beyond a single box

Backups are bottlenecked to one device

All backup sets are treated the same

The solution

Backup to a highly flexible and scalable ParaScale Private Cloud

Benefits of disk-to-cloud backup

User selected commodity hardware running Linux

Scale to PBs with just-in-time provisioning

Parallel write streams for faster backups

Use policies to manage data based on value

Integrated replication for high availability

Add a Highly Scalable Storage Cloud to Your Environment A private cloud is a cost effective secondary file storage solution Multi-tenancy allows for secure cross-organization use High performance access on the local network Ideal for content and virtual machine storage Easy to integrate No changes to applications or users Simple to manage, multi-PBs per administrator Application aware storage Add applications directly to the platform Run virtual machines on the storage cloud No new hardware or networking required

Don’t Believe the Hype, Try it for yourself © 2009 ParaScale, Cupertino, California; Page “ It worries me a bit how easy it was to get the 3 nodes added, and the virtual file system set up. It was dead easy. Am I missing something? … or is that just the point of how good the ParaScale cloud is?” “ Parascale is one of the best solutions for the enterprise” ““… your ad popped up on a Google page and I was overjoyed. I have one control and three storage nodes setup in less than a day. I have mapped a datastore in esx4 and now have windows, Solaris and Linux servers running directly on cloud storage!!” Download the free version today
