Agenda

• Information Challenges

• Solution Benefits

• Solution Overview

• Customer Success Story


Today’s Information Challenges

Data growthRapid and unpredictable growth in unstructured data

Backup timesDramatic increases in backup times and media consumption

Storage costsUnsustainable costs for acquiring and managing storage capacity

DATA DELUGE

BUDGET DILEMMA

20090.8 Zettabytes

202035.2 Zettabytes


Data Domain and F5 Deliver

Lower storage costsAutomatically and non-disruptively tier inactive data to Data Domain systems

Reduce total storage capacity consumption

Reduce backup times and costsDramatically reduce the time required for weekly full backups

Reduce total backup storage consumption

Retain backups onsite for longer with less disk

Replicate efficiently over existing networksMove only unique data over the WAN

Achieve up to 99 percent bandwidth efficiency for cost-effective disaster recovery

EMC Data Domain and F5

“Combining solutions from F5 and EMC enables IT to strip costs out of the data storage

infrastructure by reducing the storage footprint and allowing IT to seamlessly migrate data to the appropriate storage tier, balancing price,

performance, and availability. This strategy can help take significant operational costs out of the storage environment and it is all about

operational costs today.”
