Hybrid Cloud Storage: StorSimple and Windows Azure
Windows Azure Conference 2014
Primary storage growth
Growth of infrequently
used data
Growth of backup and long term
data retention
Growth in datacenter sprawl and equipment
High-cost, untested disaster recovery

Archival Storage
Disk based backup storage
Tape infrastructure

Off-site DR and geo-resiliency
Storage Today = Complex & Expensive (and not necessary for

StorSimple is ideally suited for workloads generating lots of data that is accessed only briefly in its lifecycle.

Single vendor for hybrid cloud
storage (integrated on-
premise and cloud storage)
Lower infrastructure and management cost 60-80% Lower
Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
Reduced cost associated with: • Cloud integration• Data management • Media management • Data center resources • Secondary storage for data
protection (and licensing)• CAP-EX storage for growth
Automated data tiering to
the cloud
Automated local and
remote backup

model for data stored in the
cloud
Use cloud as secondary
datacenter; recover data

Windows Azure Conference 2014
StorSimple and automatic tiering Data is automatically
tiered across on-premises storage and
cloud storage. On-premise storage and
cloud storage are viewed as one pool of
storage
On-premise storage retains frequently
accessed, “hot”, data; cloud storage retains
infrequently accessed, “cold” data
Data spills from SSD to HDD to cloud storage. The oldest data in the tier spills to the next
tier, when more data is stored, in the tier, and
the threshold is exceeded
Automatic tiering reduces activities associated with data management for performance optimization, cost optimization, and archival

Deduplicated, Compressed, & Encrypted Data
Automatically moving data to the next tier
occurs when tiers are about 80% full
The least recently accessed
fingerprint in the tier is the first to move to the next
tier
Windows Azure Conference 2014
Deduplication and compression
Deduplication is done at the block level; across all volumes
within a cloud account
No duplicated blocks between snapshots
Optimizes the utilization of SSD
capacity, improving performance
Minimizes size of data transfer and storage in
Azure. Also, reduces data download and
recovery times
Fingerprints are content addressable, enabling transparent capacity expansion to
Azure storage
On-premise data capacity can be
increased by 2x – 5x based on the type of
data stored
