Agenda • Introduction • Dt. S Architecture overview • Product details • Positioning • Product roadmap • Questions and answers

Driving Trends • Reliance of business success on corporate information is increasing • Data growth is outstripping the ability to manage it using traditional technologies • Factors needed to solve the problem 4 Simplified, unified management 4 Greater storage deployment flexibility 4 Greater data availability

Driving Trends Example Storage growth is increasing faster than IT resources • IT Staffing budgets increasing 5% a year • Corporate Data Growth increasing 100% year Gartner 2000

Solution • Networked storage plus management tools 4 Unified storage environment (The SAN) 4 Unified management (using appliances) 4 Greater flexibility (the storage network) 4 Easier accommodation of growth

Customer Benefits of SAN Deployments Understanding the advantages of consolidation • Significantly higher application availability 4 Easier storage deployment and configuration 4 4 As much redundancy as desired Streamlined data recovery 4 Simpler, faster backup 4 As much as twice the DAS utilization 4 One person can manage four or more times the storage • Add storage, switches, tape to the SAN while applications run • Drives and tape on the same storage network • Much better disk capacity utilization • Ease of centralized management

The DAS to SAN Trend Dilemma • Most DAS customers say they want to move to SAN • Yet DAS continues to be deployed • Migration from DAS to SAN has not been simple 4 Storage system replacement, reconfiguration 4 Application downtime “Too Complex” 30% 61% “Too Expensive” Source: Info. Stor May 2000 “Too Risky” 21%

Deploying More Servers To Increase Your Storage?

Addressing the DAS Customer Needs With a SAN Solution “Please give me…affordable, scalable, high performance, consolidated storage system that is easy to buy and deploy so I can begin replacing my direct attached storage. ” Typical Compaq Customer

What Is Dt. S? Dt. S = DAS to SAN Direct Attach Storage to Storage Area Network • Instant consolidation of existing DAS data into a Compaq SAN • Significant simplification of storage consolidation 4 Creates an easy migration from Smart Array DAS to SAN 4 Minimizes application disruption during data migration 4 Protects investments in drives and data

Seamless Data Migration Dt. S is unsurpassed investment protection for Pro. Liant customers Smart Array plus Enclosures 4200/4300 Dt. S Architecture Smart Array and internal drives Four Easy Steps to a SAN: RA 4100 1. 2. 3. 4. Set up new SAN array Move existing drives Create server/volume ownership Turn on servers and GO!

How Dt. S Works Smart Array writes configuration information on each drive Drive 1 Instant Migration MSA 1000 When drives are moved, new array recognizes configuration information immediately! Drive 2 Drive n Configuration Area (RIS) Drive 2 Drive 1 Drive n RAID Level, LUN, Spare Drive Information and Data are Preserved

Customer Benefits of Dt. S The Storage. Works Difference • Unsurpassed Total Cost-of-Ownership 4 Protects drive investment, preserves data, and delivers the benefits of SAN • Easy entry point into SAN consolidation 4 Unique support of data migration from DAS • Replaces tape backup/restore as the migration mechanism 4 Significantly lower application downtime and risk • Uses existing DAS hardware 4 Ultra 2 and Ultra 3 Compaq Universal 1 -inch drives connected to any Smart Array Controller

Benefits of a SAN with Dt. S A more cost effective storage topology LAN USERS Server Server Multi-Pathing & Clustering Consolidated SAN Back Up Maximized Capacity Utilization! Instant Additional Servers & Storage Consolidation Migration of SAN Consolidation! drives and data from Smart Array Dynamic Storage Growth

Modular SAN Array 1000 Featuring Dt. S Architecture • Key features 4 4 4 Works in existing Compaq SANs Supports Pro. Liant and x 86 servers Selective Storage Presentation (multiple server support) Scalable to 3 TB Fully redundant components Boot from SAN capability • Unique benefits 4 4 4 Built on Compaq’s exclusive Dt. S Architecture Embedded 2 Gb fabric switch (opt) Advanced Data Guarding (ADG)

MSA 1000 Controller Features • High Performance Architecture 4 2 Gb Fibre Channel to Host Ultra 3 SCSI to Drives 160 MB throughput >20, 000 I/O per second 4 Active/Active in 4 Q 02 4 4 4 • Redundant controller support • • RAID 0, 1, 0+1, 5 and ADG LUN Masking (SSP) 2 Gb/1 Gb auto-sense host ports Dual Cache Modules 4 Upgradeable to 256 MB

Selective Storage Presentation The Key to Storage Consolidation • Controller based intelligence 4 Securely manages access by multiple hosts to storage • Levels of access control 4 4 4 System level RAID level Logical volume level • User accessible via standard Compaq management tools

Advanced Data Guarding Compaq Exclusive A 0 B 0 C 0 0 Parity 0+ Parity A 1 B 1 1 parity 1+ parity C 1 A 2 2 parity 2+ Parity B 2 C 2 3 parity 3+ parity A 3 B 3 C 3 4+ parity A 4 B 4 C 4 4 parity A 5 B 5 C 5 5 parity 5+ parity • Similar to RAID 5, data and parity is distributed across all drives • The capacity equal to two drives is reserved for two sets of parity data (RAID 5 distributes one set of parity data) • RAID ADG can withstand two simultaneous drive failures without downtime or data loss • Supports online RAID level migration from RAID 1 or RAID 5
