Single platform increases market leverage

Key benefits:

Same performance, half the price

Configurable performance

A Scale Evolution Pattern

Fast deployment

Spec’d by development, not IT

Do what’s easiest to get going

Grow fast

Do more of what you did before

Things break:

cost, performance, and manageability

Enterprise-ready deployment

Cost & operational efficiency

Performance & reliability

Manageable, repeatable

Page 10: Founder's Perspective

Example: New Analytics

Works when…

Uniform problem

on uniform data

Doesn’t work when…

Multiple problems; non-uniform data

Workloads without balance in

capacity/compute

Have to buy servers to add capacity

Have to buy storage to add compute

Database with Hadoop Map/Reduce

Lots of CPUs

Existing network & DAS

Performance scaling just works

Overwhelms network

Overwhelms storage

Page 11: Founder's Perspective

Example: New Analytics

Enterprise-ready software solutions

CPU farms

Faster, bigger networks

Hadoop networked storage solutions

Database with Hadoop Map/Reduce

Lots of CPUs

Existing network & DAS

Performance scaling just works

Overwhelms network

Overwhelms storage

Page 12: Founder's Perspective

Example: Flash/Storage on the Host

Add storage to host

Unit of scale =

CPU + Storage

CPU

Flash

Page 13: Founder's Perspective

Scale drives IT markets toward:

Efficiency

Manageability

Shared infrastructure
