1. THANK YOU FOR JOINING US
Red Hat Storage Breakfast
June 24, 2015

2. THE RED HAT STORAGE MISSION
To offer a unied, open software-dened
storage portfolio that delivers a range of data
services for next generation workloads
thereby accelerating the transition to modern
IT infrastructures.

3. Open Software-Dened Storage is a fundamental
reimagining of how storage infrastructure works.
It provides substantial economic and operational
advantages, and it has quickly become ideally
suited for a growing number of use cases.

4. A RISING TIDE
“By 2020, between 70-80% of unstructured data will be held on
lower-cost storage managed by SDS environments.”
“By 2019, 70% of existing storage array products
will also be available as software only versions”
“By 2016, server-based storage solutions will lower
storage hardware costs by 50% or more.”
