2. HOT TOPIC FOR
ENTERPRISES
Flooding and cyclone in Australia
Mudslides Rio de Janeiro
Earthquake in New Zealand
Tsunami and flooding in Japan
Tornados and flooding in USA
Flooding in Taiwan
6. PAIN POINTS:
• Physical storage demands exploding
• Tape misses the mark
• Reliable storage and retrieval is hard
• DR physical second site is expensive
• Geographic distribution is challenging
28. Provision 1TB of storage in 2 minutes
(from the back of an auto-rickshaw in India).
10 servers in 2
minutes (while sitting
by the pool).
