Forward Looking Statements During our meeting today, we may make forward-looking statements.

Any statement that refers to expectations, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances is a forward-looking statement, including those relating to market position, market growth, product sales, industry trends, supply chain, future memory technology, production capacity, production costs, technology transitions, construction schedules, production starts, and future products. This presentation contains information from third parties, which reflect their projections as of the date of issuance. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements due to factors detailed under the caption “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in the documents we file from time to time with the SEC, including our annual and quarterly reports. We undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof.

I/O Challenges Affect Productivity and Revenue

“… some people have a hard time grasping it, these (solid state) drives save a tremendous amount of money.”

“Even very small delays would result in substantial and costly drops in revenue” [when search results pages were slowed by 1 second … +0.1 seconds costs Amazon 1% of sales]

Industry Challenge: Efficiently Scaling Databases

Data explosion accompanied by growing demand for transactional performance and analytics

Adding servers / CPU / memory / HDD storage is not cost effective

Need for low-latency I/O and storage

Opportunity: Seamless, low-latency database scaling

6

Industry Challenge: Datacenter Sprawl

IT environments running up against I/O and storage bottlenecks

Low storage performance creates inefficiencies in datacenter

Application acceleration costs are straining IT budgets

Opportunity: Eliminate I/O bottlenecks to allow storage consolidation

Flash Storage - Database Performance Game Changer

Flash Storage into the Data Center provides performance gains that were difficult to reach using hard disk technology.

SanDisk’s broad range of Flash Solutions allow companies to easily tier data using the features of Oracle,

– Providing solutions for servers and storage arrays with different performance characteristics and cost metrics

Intelligent Software takes advantage of this faster hardware. Database Smart Flash Cache, on Oracle Linux to accelerate I/Os for read-mostly

database and provides intelligent caching of hot data on the Oracle server. – Using flash as a persistent extension of system memory

• Auto-Commit Memory for Oracle • Atomic Writes for Oracle
