Where virtual computing is headed
Virsto already delivering on these value propositions
CLOUD SCALE
Beyond thestorage array
VASTLY HIGHER UTILIZATION
Always thinly provisioned,no VM duplication
VIRTUAL STORAGE ARCHITECTURE
Abstract VM storagefrom hardware
RADICALLY NEW ECONOMICS
Distributed, commodity,hardware independent

VDI complicates the storage problem
VDI workloads even more random,
write intensive
Much wider variability between peak
and average IOPS
Scale: provisioning/managing
thousands of VM images
VDI storage costs even higherAugust 2011 © Virsto, confidential
