Cost control for growing data is a high priority
High availability cannot be compromised
Migrating applications to the cloud is accelerating
Predictable performance and predictable cost is required

5. At Buurst, we're
thinking about cloud
storage differently

answer is always a part for
your car

answer is always surgery

8. Consult with a storage
company and the answer is
always more storage

9. *NetApp financials Q3FY20
Hard drives are the DNA of storage companies
81% of NetApp revenue comes from storage and
HW maintenance*
81%
Their sales people just wait till you run out of capacity
so they can charge you more

10. What happens when you can no long afford your data?
90% of the world’s data
has been created in the
last two years and every
2 years data is doubling
90%
Now is the time to think differently
about storage
• How do you keep your storage cost
under control?
• How do improve the performance of
your data?
• How do you make your data pay
for itself?
At this rate, your IT
budget won’t keep up.

20. Data availability
When SLA’s matter
Patented cross-zone high availability
with a 99.999% uptime guaranteed
Redundancy and replication to prevent
data loss or corruption
Block level replication
Auto fail and resume during failure
Split brain prevention
Time is crucial to our customers. By using
SoftNAS, we get them up and running in a
fraction of the time and our customers
think that’s amazing.
