www.tiger-technology.com Why hybrid cloud?

www.tiger-technology.com ▪ Migration no longer considered an end-all solution ▪ Market drivers: distributed hybrid infrastructure, new workloads, exponential data growth, operational excellence ▪ Cloud repatriation when reality does not meet expectations ▪ Public cloud characterized by resilience, scalability, global accessibility Hybrid cloud is rising in popularity

www.tiger-technology.com Cloud adoption over cloud migration www.tiger-technology.com

www.tiger-technology.com On-premises-first (OPF) An infrastructure approach which prioritizes continuity of on-premises workflows and treats the cloud as an enhancer that can be removed without disruption, rather than a primary enabler of digital transformation. OPF hybrid cloud enables organizations to preserve operations, applications, function, and performance while growing and transforming via cloud adoption. Essential in mission-critical deployments

www.tiger-technology.com How much data streams behind public safety? Generated daily by new CCTV cameras worldwide in 2015 566PB Daily data generation by end of 2023 5,500PB

www.tiger-technology.com Why Video Surveillance Essential part of the security strategy of any business. Often government regulated. Mission-critical Camera and retention increases make on- premises high performance storage impossible to afford at full capacity. Hybrid Latency, bandwidth and functional requirements of the applications prohibit direct use of any object storage. OPF

www.tiger-technology.com ▪ Situation: On-premises recording servers and storage 11 How a large US city optimized their infrastructure in hybrid cloud Read the full study ▪ Impact: Cost of on-prem storage too high; high maintenance overhead; lack of scalability & resiliency ▪ Outcomes with Surveillance Bridge: ✓ Cost optimization ✓ 3,500+ cameras across the city able to capture data ✓ Increased video retention to 90 days ✓ Significantly less maintenance ✓ No disruption ✓ Disaster Recovery in place

www.tiger-technology.com Data Resilience The ability of an organization or its systems to continue business operations in case of unexpected disruptions that directly impact data availability. Essential in mission-critical deployments

www.tiger-technology.com How Tiger Technology Addresses Data Resilience www.tiger-technology.com Ransomware Protection Preventing infected data from reaching the large backend storage silo is the key to a quick recovery in case of a ransomware attack Disaster Recovery The ability to quickly restore the data structure to allow applications to resume operation even before the data is fully recovered Continuous Data Protection Finer granularity when replicating and restoring data provides unmatched flexibility compared to traditional backup approaches

www.tiger-technology.com But what if cloud is not an option?

www.tiger-technology.com Snapshot of an Airport “Our surveillance operations are mission-critical. I need to ensure our infrastructure and tech stack are built to provide constant access to camera feeds and recorded data and ensure zero data loss.” www.tiger-technology.com ▪ Matt ▪ CIO ▪ One of the largest airports in the world ▪ Fluent in surveillance workflows

www.tiger-technology.com Amount of video data stored >4PB 4000+ Number of cameras ensuring passenger and staff safety

www.tiger-technology.com The Challenge: Protect against any data loss and interruption of service Total Resilience Easy & Transparent Management Complexity Reduction Mission-critical Priorities The Solution Redundant Data Center

www.tiger-technology.com Were they able to protect their operations when disaster struck? No. www.tiger-technology.com

www.tiger-technology.com Is data resilience enough in mission-critical deployments?

www.tiger-technology.com Defining Operational Resilience www.tiger-technology.com Data Resilience The ability of an organization or its systems to continue business operations in case of unexpected disruptions that directly impact data availability Functional Resilience The ability to maintain full functionality of a system in case of a hardware or software failure Maintenance Complexity The ability to perform regular maintenance tasks without affecting business operations and engaging complex failover protocols
