True Dynamic Tiering • What? Finest level of granularity LUN Volume File Block • When? Data is tiered on-the-fly Weeks Days Hours On-The-Fly • How? Automatic movement between tiers Manual Manual Policy-based Automatic Disruptive Non-disruptive – Automatic by frequency, access pattern and size 5
How It Works • Tiered File System (TFS) dynamically places data on optimal media • Active data owned by high-performance Avere FXT cluster • In-active data owned by Mass Storage System (MASS) • Offers a global view of all MASS filesystems locally & remotely • Avere algorithms monitor access patterns & manage data location • Policy mgmt keeps FXT cluster in sync with MASS for backup, etc. 6 Proprietary & Confidential
Customer Benefits • Performance acceleration: Active data moved to RAM, SSD, SAS • Cost savings: 5:1 reduction in disks, power, space • Simplicity: Seamless fit with existing clients, NAS servers • Scaling: Efficient, non-disruptive growth through clustering • Ease of management: Global Name Space & WAN capable Performance & capacity scale independently, more efficiently 7 Proprietary & Confidential

WAN Deployment • Accelerate data access at Satellite offices • Coherent access to all data from all offices • Hide WAN latency at Satellite office • Centralize data management & retention at Core office Avere FXT Cluster � (optional) � Avere FXT Cluster � WAN* Satellite office Core office – Minor installation w/o local MASS – Major datacenter w/ local MASS(es) – Multiple satellite offices supported – Multiple core offices supported – Write-around mode – Data retention & management at core office – Selectable cache timeout period – Optional FXT cluster (in WT mode) Proprietary & Confidential *Typical WAN connection is private, reliable network 12
Global Namespace • Join exports from multiple MASSes into GNS • Support heterogeneous MASS vendors & models • Clients access all exports/MASSes from a single mountpoint, single IP • NFS & CIFS support, simpler than automounter & DFS, no extra server • Newly added exports are visible to clients without client reboot • GNS “logical view” is admin-defined on Avere UI, client’s view of namespace • Nesting of exports/junctions not supported 13 Proprietary & Confidential
