This document provides an agenda for a CloudEndure presentation at an AWS storage day event. The agenda includes an introduction to CloudEndure and how it works with AWS, enterprise disaster recovery strategies, a deep dive into CloudEndure's DR technology and demo, customer case studies, and a Q&A session. It discusses CloudEndure's key technology pillars for OS-based continuous replication and disaster recovery benefits like cost reductions and recovery objectives. The document also includes case studies of how CloudEndure helped customers like CGS and HealthQuest implement DR solutions on AWS to reduce costs and improve recovery times. It promotes CloudEndure DR and migration products available on AWS Marketplace and provides a call to action to become a CloudEnd

CloudEndure and AWS
“We would not have finished migration in time had
we not used CloudEndure. There was no way we
would have finished the way we did without them.”

The “old on premise way” of Disaster Recovery is outdated
§ Massive upfront investment & high ongoing costs
§ Data growth increases hardware and operational costs
§ Additional operational overhead for globally distributed businesses
§ Hard to actually test without business disruption
§ Vulnerable to cyber threats, hacking, ransomware etc.
§ Today, businesses need their systems up in minutes (not hours/days!)

Why cloud for Disaster Recovery
ü No upfront hardware investment required
ü Only pay for rightsized compute / storage when actually needed
ü Lower IT management overhead
ü Easy, non disruptive and repeatable testing
ü Regional / Global flexibility
ü (MUCH!) More automation

Business challenges
§ Business grew, increasing DR infrastructure costs and management overhead
§ Expensive duplicate compute resources for a disaster that may rarely occur
§ Expensive OS, DB and application licenses for a disaster that may rarely occur
§ Needed to ensure application resilience to meet customer SLAs
§ Downtime, RPO, and RTO were becoming a real concern
18. 2017 CloudEndure - Confidential
Technical challenges
§ Application division ran complex multi-tenant Microsoft Dynamics ERP
application, heavily leveraging SQL server clusters and IIS
§ Used a combination of Dell servers and EMC storage in multiple datacenters
§ Used a complex mix of Veeam backups, EMC SAN replication, SQL log shipping
§ Needed affordable continuous replication vs snapshot solutions that increased
RPO and impacted performance
§ Finding a seamless cloud-based solution that can handle complex environments
19. 2017 CloudEndure - Confidential
The Search for a Better DR Strategy
§ CGS realized that an in house DR solution was not sustainable and that they
needed to go with a cloud provider that is cost effective and scalable
§ Cloud providers evaluated: AWS, Azure, Google
§ Products evaluated: Azure Site Recovery, Zerto, Veeam
§ Solution needed to support complex workloads including SQL clusters, file
clusters, DFS, IIS farms, Always On Availability Groups
20. 2017 CloudEndure - Confidential

Customer Satisfaction
“Orchestration of the cloud replica — the provisioning and creation of virtual
machines — is the real game changer from CloudEndure. No one in the market
has a product that’s even close”.
“We were so impressed with CloudEndure’s DR solution that we decided to
incorporate it into our cloud services offerings.”
- Michael Brandi - Vice President of the Technology Solutions Division at CGS

About Health Quest
§ Integrated delivery healthcare system
§ Services 250 doctors in four hospitals
§ 6,000 employees
§ Hundreds of servers
§ Headquartered in New York
25. 2017 CloudEndure - Confidential
The Challenge
§ HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996)
§ Hybrid environment (physical servers and VMware)
§ Eight-year-old secondary data center required hardware + licensing refresh
§ Growing business meant increase in number of servers in IT environment
§ Disaster recovery strategy unable to achieve four-hour RPO
26. 2017 CloudEndure - Confidential
The Search for a Better DR Strategy
§ Hired Annese, a ConvergeOne Company (AWS consulting partner)
§ Chose AWS for cloud-based DR
§ Requirements for DR solution:
§ Support for both VMware and physical servers
§ Target infrastructure must meet HIPAA strict security requirements
§ Aggressive recovery objectives
§ Managed services due to small IT shop
27. 2017 CloudEndure - Confidential
Why HealthQuest Chose CloudEndure
“We needed to make sure that, because we aren’t a huge IT shop, if we
picked a vendor, we’d be able to use managed services to ensure our
systems are replicated properly and that the environment is healthy.
When we compared solutions on this parameter and our need to mix
VMware and physical servers, only CloudEndure fit the bill.”
-Rob Gilliland, CTO at Health Quest
28. 2017 CloudEndure - Confidential
Proof of Concept
§ Mission-critical applications
§ Replication and deployment in AWS
§ No data loss or application access issues
“We had to get up to speed with training on our side. But
if you take away this training period and we could have
just hit the ground running, the technical work for the
proof of concept only would have taken a couple of days.”
- Mike Close, Server Team Lead at HealthQuest
29. 2017 CloudEndure - Confidential
Results
§ CloudEndure Disaster Recovery implemented on hundreds of servers
§ Multiple checkpoints for point-in-time recovery
§ Downsizing of secondary data center
§ 50% cost savings on DR infrastructure
§ Real-world Workload RPO of 2 minutes or less
§ Single pane of glass interface
§ Unlimited, non-disruptive DR testing

Customer Satisfaction
“With CloudEndure, all we have to do is log into the CloudEndure
website and we can see everything in real time. This helps us create a
fluid testing process and stay on top of the whole DR environment. In a
fast-paced IT department that is undermanned, having CloudEndure’s
simple management and expert support staff is very helpful.”
