Today’s Storage Architectures
 Architected to use disk only;
overlaying flash on top results
in partial solution
Purpose-built, Performance Hybrid
 Designed from the ground up to
leverage the best of flash and disk
 Eliminates compromise between
performance, capacity, and
data management
2-5x More Usable Capacity/$
2-5x More Performance/$
 High capacity disk
 Always-on compression
 High ratio of usable to
raw capacity
 Responsive flash cache
accelerates reads with
no RAID overhead
 Serialized writes eliminate
need for high RPM spindles
CASL
Integrated Data Protection
Operational Efficiency
 Instant thin snapshots with no
performance penalty
 Retention for months, not days
 WAN-efficient replication
 Data sciences-based proactive
support (InfoSight)
 Cloud based monitoring
 Predictive analytics–usage,
growth
 Peer Insights

UNIVERSAL COMPRESSION:
30-75% SAVINGS
 Variable-size blocks enable
fast inline compression
 Elimination of read-modify-write
penalty allows compression of
all applications
WRITE-OPTIMIZED LAYOUT:
100x FASTER WRITES
 Guaranteed coalescing of random
writes to sequential stripes;
eliminates dependency on
spindle speed
 Coalesced writes to flash increase
lifespan by 500%
DYNAMIC CACHING:
50x FASTER READS
 Cache populated intelligently on
first write, instantly on cache miss
 Metadata in cache accelerates
all accesses

Notes:
1. Effective capacity is usable capacity after no to 2x (or 50%) compression; typical range: 30% to 75%.
2. The CS420 model is available in CS420-X2 and CS420-X4 options only.
Storage
SCALE COMPUTE/CACHE
 Scale IOPS and reduce
latency by scaling cache
and/or compute
SCALE CAPACITY
SCALE-OUT CLUSTER
 Scale capacity alone
using expansion shelves
 Scale performance and
capacity by adding nodes
while managing centrally
Scale flexibly and non-disruptively at the lowest incremental cost.
