Fibre Channel Support Details

● Supported on all vGC configurations

● Customer provides ESXi host with FC host bus adapter (HBA)– Support for ESXi 5.0 and ESXi 5.1– Leverages VMware qualification of storage arrays and switches– Projected FC LUNs available as iSCSI disk targets on Granite Edge


EX1360Extend Consolidation to More Branches

● Serve high-performance workloads in the branch– Features more compute resources and faster cache– Run more demanding applications directly from Granite

(e.g., database apps)– Consolidate while ensuring edge user productivity

● Consolidate more data– Provides 10TB useable edge cache capacity


EX1360 Models & Specs

● Three new models: EX1360G, EX1360L, EX1360M

● Granite license included

● Delivers 1700 IOPS and 10TB edge cache

● Features 8 cores and 64GB RAM for VSP

Granite 2.5Streamline Data Protection Management

● Snapshot scheduler simplifies management of branch application snapshots– Centrally configure schedules for all branches from a single UI– Save administrator time and effort

● Reduce risk by ensuring application recoverability– Capture “application consistent” snapshots of branch applications

on data center storage (EMC, NetApp, Dell EqualLogic)


Granite 2.5Simplify Data Center Backup Integration

● Snapshot handling process simplifies backup of branch data in the data center– Integrates pre- and post-backup scripts into Granite– Makes disk snapshots easily available to backup proxy– Simplifies data protection with data center backup applications

(e.g., Symantec NetBackup)

● Give organizations the assurance that valuable branch data is protected
