4、condary,Disk Cost Savings,Move inactive files to cost effective Tier 2 Majority of data (70%-90%) Reclaim Tier 1 capacity Movement of data is automated and transparent,Disk Cost Savings Example Before: 25TB x $/GB Tier 1 After:5TB x $/GB Tier 1 + 20TB x ($/GB Tier1 - $/GB Tier2) Savings = 20TB x $9/

5、GB Savings: $180,000,Client,Tier 1 / Primary,F5 ARX,Tiering reduces primary storage,Majority of data on Tier 2,Foster + Partners,Backup Savings,Move inactive files to cost effective Tier 2 Reduces active dataset to be scanned / backed up Dramatic decrease in backup time Savings in backup media costs

6、,Backup Savings Example Before: 25TB x 5 weekly full copies = 125TB After: 5TB x 5 weekly full copies = 25TB Savings = (125TB 25TB) x $0.75/GB (tape) Savings: $75,000,Client,Tier 1 / Primary,Tier 2 / Secondary,F5 ARX,Reduced Tier 1 backup data set,Same weekly fulls, but only 10-30% of the data,No we
