Forward Looking Statements
During our meeting today, we may make forward-looking statements.
Any statement that refers to expectations, projections or other
characterizations of future events or circumstances is a forward-looking
statement, including those relating to market position, market growth,
product sales, industry trends, supply chain, future memory technology,
production capacity, production costs, technology transitions,
construction schedules, production starts, and future products. This
presentation contains information from third parties, which reflect their
projections as of the date of issuance. Actual results may differ
materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements
due to factors detailed under the caption “Risk Factors” and elsewhere
in the documents we file from time to time with the SEC, including our
annual and quarterly reports. We undertake no obligation to update
these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date
hereof.

I/O Challenges Affect Productivity and Revenue
 “… some people have a hard time grasping it, these (solid state)
drives save a tremendous amount of money.”
 “Even very small delays would result in substantial and costly
drops in revenue” [when search results pages were slowed by
1 second … +0.1 seconds costs Amazon 1% of sales]

Industry Challenge: Efficiently Scaling Databases
 Data explosion accompanied by growing
demand for transactional performance
and analytics
 Adding servers / CPU / memory / HDD
storage is not cost effective
 Need for low-latency I/O and storage
Opportunity: Seamless, low-latency database scaling

6. 6
Industry Challenge: Datacenter Sprawl
 IT environments running up against
I/O and storage bottlenecks
 Low storage performance creates
inefficiencies in datacenter
 Application acceleration costs are
straining IT budgets
Opportunity: Eliminate I/O bottlenecks to allow storage consolidation

7. 7
Flash Storage - Database Performance Game Changer
 Flash Storage into the Data Center provides performance gains that were
difficult to reach using hard disk technology.
 SanDisk’s broad range of Flash Solutions allow companies to easily tier data
using the features of Oracle,
– Providing solutions for servers and storage arrays with different performance
characteristics and cost metrics
 Intelligent Software takes advantage of this faster hardware.
 Database Smart Flash Cache, on Oracle Linux to accelerate I/Os for read-mostly
database and provides intelligent caching of hot data on the Oracle server.
– Using flash as a persistent extension of system memory
• Auto-Commit Memory for Oracle
• Atomic Writes for Oracle
