The right data on the right storage at the right cost
– Automation: Manage more with less Cloud
$$
– Integrated with and adapts to virtual environments
– Moves data by policy across tiers or to cloud saving time
– Easily find data through index and search
– Optimization: Store more on less Primary Secondary Backup Storage Archive Storage
– Tier in the array or across arrays saving costs Storage Storage $$$ $$
– Dedupe and compress across tiers saving space $$$$$ $$$$
– Put data on the right storage at the right time Move, dedupe, compress, index across each
Store Protect
– Seamless Scale: Scale more for less – Compellent – DX Archive Store
– Buy what’s needed – grow seamlessly later – PS Series – DL Backup to Disk
