  1. Introducing Snap Server™ 700i Series

  2. Introducing the Snap Server 700i series • Hardware • iSCSI storage appliances with mid-market features • 1U 19” rack-mount holds 4 drives • Expand with SANbloc S50s • Scales from 1 to 36TB with SATA and SAS drives • For Linux, VMware ESX, and Windows servers • Maximum uptime for Windows via HA mirroring • Ideal for Microsoft Exchange and SQL Server • Highest Performance (3X measured competitors) • Great Price / Performance • Best Scalability (down and up) • Complementary addition to Snap Server family

  3. Positioning within the Snap Server Family • Guardian OS • NAS (CIFS, NFS, AFP) plus iSCSI • Storage for individuals and workgroups • Great for distributed enterprises • Remote Management • Replication • Data Protection 700i Expandable Rack 520/650 Expandable Rack • OnTarget OS • iSCSI only • Storage for application servers • Great for Exchange and SQL Server iSCSI Performance / Features 410 Fixed Rack 110/210 Desktop Multi-protocol: NAS & iSCSI Mid-market IP SAN

  4. Snap Server Family Overview

  5. Why Step Up to an IP SAN? • Remove storage from individual application and file servers • Higher performance • Multiple drives are used in parallel • More reliable • RAID disks, hot spares, background data scrubbing, redundant power & fans • Flexible storage • Allocate only what is needed to each server • Add capacity to iSCSI appliance • Expand capacity for servers while they are up and running • Why iSCSI vs. Fibre Channel • Less complex and less expensive • Growing at 70%-80% CAGR Corporate LAN IP SAN

  6. Snap Server 700i - Flexible and Scalable • Scalable • Up to 36TB of storage • SAS and/or SATA drives • Up to 4 GigE ports • Linux, VMware, Windows • Hardware iSCSI HBAs • Software iSCSI initiators • Diskless boot from SAN • Via HW iSCSI HBA • Via emBoot software

  7. Snap Server 700i - Easy to Set Up & Manage • Easy, wizard-based management • Unique: Automated volume provisioning • Saves administrator time • Adheres to Windows VDS Provider specification • Administer 700i series from any SAN management tool Adaptec Storage Manager Target-side Host-side

  8. Snap Server 700i – Hardware Reliability • Redundant, hot-swappable power supplies and fans • Leverages Adaptec RAID Controller • Hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 w/ Hot Spares • RAID controller cache is battery backed up for 72 hours • UPS can signal the 700i for graceful shutdown • SNMP and email alerts keep administrator informed

  9. Snap Server 700i – High Availability for Windows For mission-critical Exchange or SQL Server applications • Supports Microsoft Clusters • Windows MPIO Driver provides multiple paths to 700i series • Synchronous Mirroring between 700i series • Mirror only chosen LUNs, not the whole 700i Exchange or SQL Server Synchronous Mirroring with Seamless Host Failover Microsoft Cluster

  10. Snap Server 700i - Snapshots • Schedule or on demand via Adaptec Storage Manager • Typically occur several times per day • Retain up to 256 snapshots • Provides fast recovery points • Archive with any backup software • Unique: Simultaneous snapshots of multiple related volumes on separate 700i series • On-demand Windows VSS snapshots • Such as backup software requests

  11. Snap Server 700i – Efficient Backups of Windows Servers Windows VSS hardware transportable snapshots Backup agent requests VSS snapshot Series 700i takes VSS snapshot Backup server does backup without involving Exchange server 1 Backup Server Exchange 3 1 2 3 2

  12. Snap Server 700i - Configurations & Pricing

  13. Marketing and Sales Focus • Medium-sized companies ready to step up to a SAN • Exchange Servers with up to 5000 mailboxes • Large SQL Server or Oracle databases • Companies looking to backup to disk (D2D2T)

  14. Summary – Introducing the Snap Server 700i series • iSCSI storage appliances w/ mid-market features • For Linux, VMware ESX, and Windows servers • Scales from 1 to 36TB • Mix and Match SATA drives for cost-effective capacity and SAS drives for performance • Maximum uptime for Windows via HA mirroring • Ideal for Microsoft Exchange and SQL Server • 3X the performance of competing devices • Great price/performance • Complementary addition to Snap Server family
