CEOs believe technology will be at the forefront of driving change through 2015* “ 71% of CEOs identify technology change as the most important external force impacting their organizations”* 78% CFOs report that pressure remains high to control costs and increase efficiency Is your storage infrastructure optimized for the greatest efficiency of all your applications and resources? Does your storage infrastructure enable you to provide rich, actionable insight? * IBM, Leading Through Connections: Insights from the Global Chief Executive Officer Study May 2012. , 2 © 2013 IBM Corporation

The real question Will your infrastructure block or enable change? Only 1 in 5 clients have highly efficient IT infrastructures allocating 50% more of their IT budget to new projects 1 1 IBM, 3 Data center operational efficiency best practices , April 2012. © 2013 IBM Corporation

Key Virtualization Features Thin Provisioning ü Satisfy provisioning requests but allocate storage only when data is written Dynamic growth Without thin provisioning, pre-allocated space is reserved whether the application uses it or not With thin provisioning, applications can grow dynamically, but only consume space they are actually using Real-time Compression ü Improve capacity utilization across the infrastructure ü Value: Purchase only the storage you need when you need it ü Buy and maintain less storage ü Compress active data up to 80% without application performance degradation ü For example, VMware ~75%, Database ~80%, Exchange ~50% ü Value: Store more data with less disk IBM Easy Tier SSD Management ü Busiest data automatically moved to highest performing Solid-state Drives ü Up to a 3 x performance improvement with as little as 5% SSD ü Value: Optimized performance at lower overall cost 6 © 2013 IBM Corporation

Key Management Features High Availability Configurations ü Synchronous and asynchronous mirroring between sites ü Real-time data mobility between sites complements VMware v. Motion and Power. HA Live Partition Mobility ü Integrated management with practice support ü Automated fail-back after repair ü Value: Enable near-continuous data availability Application-Aware Copies ü ü Integrated, instant copy for critical applications Rapidly create clones for application testing View inventory of application copies and instantly restore Value: Virtually eliminate application downtime for backup Practice Disaster Recovery Techniques ü Practice application recovery procedures ü Detect mirroring failure and automate failover ü Value: Train staff and prove business continuity plans work without disrupting applications 7 © 2013 IBM Corporation
