  4. Executive Summary • Storage Exec functionality being merged into EV • Align reporting, file blocking, quotas with EV FSA • Build comprehensive file management solution • Deliver on customer needs around data classification • This move will better leverage resources • More overall resources on file management • File management is hot growth area for EV • Storage Exec provides differentiated functionality • We will attempt to manage transition smoothly • One more “standalone” release of SE mid-year • Modular option(s) in EV for “file management” • Existing SE customers upgraded to relevant option to EV

  5. What On Your Mind? • What is the strategy? • What is Storage Exec? • How does it fit with FSA? • How will this help our business? • What are our plans? • Around integration? • Existing customers? • New releases? • Where do I get more information? • Presentation? • Statement of direction? • Questions?

  7. Recovery Storage Legal • Growing backup windows for file servers • Growing recovery times for file servers • Painful process for end-user file recovery • Exploding file share storage requirements • Inactive/duplicate data on expensive disk • Too much time spent cleaning up servers • Legal asking to capture and retain files • Legal asking to search files (e-Discovery) • Legal asking to control files (e.g., MP3) File Server Management Today…

  8. File Server (NTFS or NetApp) • Secure • Rationalize • Share • Retain • Future Proof • Index • Categorize • Expire • Audit Search Analyze Retrieve Disclose Transfer Links Archive Data Store EV File System Archiving Overview

  10. EV File System Archiving (FSA) Business • EV File System Archiving business hot • Grown from 5% to 13% (FY3Q06) of option bookings • #2 option behind Exchange Mailbox Archiving • Ahead of DA, Journaling, PST Migrator • Natural extension of EV business • Add-on from email to file archiving • Next source of content for legal purposes • Comparable value propositions to email archiving • Significant return on engineering investment • Small dedicated development team today (2) • Leverage from overall EV platform • Integration vehicle for partners (e.g., Gamma – SAP archiving)

  11. What We Hear From Customers About FSA • Three primary use cases for FSA today • Transparent file storage tiering / consolidation • File retention and eDiscovery • End-user file search and restore • Majority of customers go through evolution • Frequently start with storage problem • Often realize also needs to be retained and searched • Many want common data archiving platform across data types • In the long run, customers need an integrated solution for • Classifying data across the organization • Applying policies for archiving, migration, blocking, retention • Searching and reporting on file infrastructure

  12. Storage Exec (SE) Business • Originally built by W Quinn Software • Acquired by Precise • Acquired by VERITAS • Acquired by Symantec • Currently sold as part of BE “Suite” • Storage Exec • Available through BE partners and price list • Not a fit with sales model (enterprise) • Part of Storage Resource Mgmt. (SRM) market • Not a strong market historically • Dominated by EMC • Difficulty translated opportunity into revenue

  13. Storage Exec: Automated Data Management Features Benefits Business Value Real-time end-user alert and notification • Minimize IT management • Control storage growth • Maximize storage resources Quota Management Enables users to clean up their own storage • Only business data gets backed up and stored • Faster backup times • Minimize legal exposure Prevent unwanted files(MP3s, viruses, music) from being saved to company servers File Blocking/Content Filtering In-depth insight into storage • Reclaim wasted disk space • Identify problem areas • Manage storage with greater efficiency ExtensiveReporting Drill down reporting – Clean up storage directly from reports

  14. Proactive Quota Management • Specify per end-user • Notify users at threshold • Enable end-users to clean up files upon violation

Use Storage Exec reports to plan for future growth 1 2 4 3 Storage Exec + FSA: File Server Management * Planned deeper integration in second half of 2006 File Server

  30. Rationale For Integration • Demand for integrated file management • What should I archive? • What policies should I use? • How can I manage space in a consistent fashion? • Compliance and discovery accelerating need • Data classification • Automated policy management • Beyond storage savings • Better alignment on go-to-market • Leverage EV enterprise focus • Leverage EV sales/partner channel • Leverage EV brand

  32. How Do The Products Work Together Today? • Value proposition for using SE with FSA / EV • Pre-sales identification of need for file archiving and policies • Proactive ongoing health of file servers • Identify PST files to be migrated • SWIFT and SE QA testing products together • Products compatible together generally • SE monitors based upon actual disk usage • However, SE reports based upon emulated disk usage • Planning to publish white paper on using together

  33. How Could They Work Together? Retention / Discovery Classification / Compliance Storage Management Self-Service File Mgmt. Capture files and file versions Allow end-users to search and restore old files Manual archive to allow users to manage space Reporting to end-users on file usage Capture and retain files Index and search Reporting on what’s out there to define what you need to capture Policies to define where users can save in future Archive questionable content for future to keep record of policy violation Identification and reporting on what’s out there to identify exposure and define policies Blocking, quarantine, warning to enforce policies Policies on quotas, blockingmigration, archiving to manage space on servers Report on files to identify ROI and define archiving policies Reports to show ROI from storage management and possibly chargeback RED = Storage Exec; BLACK = EV FSA

  34. What Are Our Plans On Integration? • Storage Exec functionality as part of EV • Aligned with FSA • May be part of FSA or separate option • Will not require “rest” (e.g., Exchange) of EV • Packaging integration (potential) • Install • Pricing and licensing (TBD) • Branding • Functional integration • SE reporting to drive FSA policies • Manual archiving from SE reports • Common policy management between archiving, filtering, quotas

  35. What Is Implication For Existing Customers? • SE customers • Upgrade path to relevant part of EV • May or not be separable from EV FSA option • Added value in file management • FSA customers • Increased value from reporting, blocking, etc. • SE functionality may be extra or free (TBD) • SE at most will be license add-on

Will There Be Another Release Of SE? • Storage Exec 5.5 will be last standalone release • Planned for first half of 2006 • Key features planned (always subject to change) • Enterprise Administration Option command line interface • Reduced Privileges Component • Security enhancements • Cluster support for VERITAS Cluster Server and Microsoft Cluster Server • File screening on mount points • Block files by user and group • Scan inside an archive • Scan folder after policy is applied • Apply multiple policies to a managed resource • Symantec LiveUpdate support • Supportability enhancements • Co-existence with Microsoft R2 • Installation on Vista and Longhorn

  37. Timeline (CY) All future release dates tentative and subject to change. • 2007 • Tighter integration (e.g., common policy management) between FSA and SE • Focus solution on E-Discovery and Compliance use cases • TODAY • Announce vision to Engineering • Announce high level plan to Sales • SE 5.5 (1H06) • Formal announcement to customers of future plans around EV integration 1H06 2H06 2007 • EV 7.0 (NOT COMMITTED) • SE as part of EV suite • Integration between SE and FSA • Focus on storage mgmt. use cases • FSA enhancements • Deployment • Flexibility • Policy Management

  38. Where Can I Get More Information? • On VNET now • EV FSA + SE presentation • EV FSA + SE “statement of direction” • Planned • Compatibility white paper (CY 1H06) • Detailed plans for EV 7.0 (CY 2Q06) • Contacts • SE 5.x: Kim Madler • EV FSA + SE plans: Nick Mehta
