Lower Lifetime Cost Archive owners want the lowest lifetime of cost of ownership Tape Migration is an unpopular recurring cost No more Robotics to maintain Dust and humidity-controlled environments are expensive Low power consumption - 240 W per Petabyte Extended media life in decades – less recycling No Vendor Lock-in or licenses Local media purchasing policy, no expensive egress costs.

Faster Content Access Clients want faster access to archive Content for Fast turnaround television productions without breaking the bank buying massive Tier 2 Storage Volumes Restore times in seconds and Minutes, rather than hours for heavily contended Tape libraries Lower media contention delays. Each disk to be an independently managed reader. No restore caching, and random content access withing each individual disk No more waiting for cloud egress which can commonly be 5-10 hours for affordable service levels. © Disk Archive Corporation 2021 All Rights Reserved.

© Disk Archive Corporation 2022 All Rights Reserved. Commercially Confidential. The Challenges with using Robotic Tape Libraries Low-density storage with a large physical footprint . High capital outlay to build a clean and humidity-controlled environment with specialist project disciplines. Expensive HSM and Archive Management requirements to optimise Tape to Drive Contention, which is the major issue. Unmanaged contention in Cloud Tape limits suitability for Archiving. First come first served principal results in 5-10 HOURS latency! Studies have indicated Tape Libraries have the highest lifetime cost due to mandatory Tape Migration, Service costs, Environmental and other hidden costs. LTO Tape duopoly has already caused supply issues. Tape Drive monopoly could pose a future threat. © Disk Archive Corporation 2021 All Rights Reserved. Commercially Confidential.

© Disk Archive Corporation 2022 All Rights Reserved. Commercially Confidential. The Challenges with Optical Disk Archives Derived from Consumer technology, Highly Mechanical Juke-box approach with limited capacity and throughput Low storage density and limited Read / Write speed Made this format unsuitable for demanding applications at scale. 5 TB Cartridge capacity lagged behind 20 TB HDD capacities Passable for SD & HD, unsuitable for 2K & 4K content Linear writing principal did not allow space recovery on media.

Cloud Archives Cloud is a Location not a Technology High Performance Cloud is simply Object storage at a secure location. Typically, suitable for transactional data and collaborative media production - but unaffordable for Archive Volumes. Low-cost offerings are based on unmanaged Tape Libraries with 5 -10 hours restore latency. Suitable for “Copy of Last Resort” for disaster recovery but not for Archives A Hybrid system combining ALTO for fast On-Prem access with Cloud Tape tiers for Disaster Recover gives a good combination of Performance, Cost and Security “De-Clouding” is easy and affordable with an ALTO Hybrid.

© Disk Archive Corporation 2022 All Rights Reserved. Commercially Confidential. Spinning Disk Storage Vulnerable OR Expensive Single Parity RAID systems are cheap and protect against a single disk failure. The disk rebuild time is proportional to the disk capacity and operational demand. For 20 TB Disks it can 4 weeks or more. A second concurrent failure will result in catastrophic loss. Dual Parity RAID systems are more expensive to own and operate, they protect against a second concurrent disk failure, but a third concurrent failure will result in catastrophic loss With high-capacity disks there is an unacceptable risk of loss with RAID. Spinning disk storage is also vulnerable to Malware © Disk Archive Corporation 2021 All Rights Reserved. Commercially Confidential.

© Disk Archive Corporation 2022 All Rights Reserved. Commercially Confidential. Higher Security increases Outlay & Lifetime Cost. Duplicated RAID System offer good protection, but at twice the capital cost, twice the power consumption and with many more disks to wear out and replace. Clustered Storage offers good protection, but again with a much higher capital outlay, higher power consumption, and more disk drives to replace – SLA may leverage high disk cost. No SLA usually means no disks. Object Storage increasingly used for on-premise private clouds. Secure but with high capital cost and running cost. Typically, too expensive for Film & TV Archives © Disk Archive Corporation 2021 All Rights Reserved. Commercially Confidential.

ALTO The Alternative to LTO ALTO is a scalable Cold Storage solution for infrequently-accessed media storage optimised for the needs of Television and Film production, preservation and archival. The ALTO Technology is equally applicable for any structured or unstructured data, adapted at the Application Layer for best-of-breed solutions ALTO replaces outdated Data Tape Libraries and replaces or complements Optical or Cloud offerings in open, standards-based systems with the lowest lifetime cost of ownership, superior performance and outstanding environmental credentials. ALTO – The Alternative to LTO

© Disk Archive Corporation 2022 All Rights Reserved. Commercially Confidential. Data Replication and Removable Media The ALTO Principle, MAID-III writes non-segmented data files with user-selectable Replication The disk drives are individually managed in software, allowing disks to be spun-up and spun-down on Read / Write demand massively reducing power consumption and extending disk lifetime for the most cost-effective long-term storage with the lowest carbon footprint The Replication technique offers user-configurable security, removable media and flexibility to create hybrid archives, distributed archives and vault storage.

© Disk Archive Corporation 2022 All Rights Reserved. Commercially Confidential. Replication Factor 2:1 Replication by default Replication factor 2 is the default replication for an Archive Two non-segmented copies of every file are created and stored on different Disks for protection. The two disks may be in the same enclosure, where media preservation is the primary concern, or in separate enclosures for additional resilience and high-availability. Since MAID-III uses Replication not RAID, the file Replicas can be in geographically separated locations, or one Replica can be on the shelf in a vault Individual disks can be opened for forensic file recovery off the disks with a standard Windows, Mac or Linux Computer

© Disk Archive Corporation 2022 All Rights Reserved. Commercially Confidential. Make More Replicas for for Additional Security Replication factor 3 offers a third copy of your media for even higher security. This can apply to all of the Archive or selectively to content of strategic value ALTO systems can be distributed between different premises or Data centres to create a Disaster Recovery Archive, or the third Replica may be in a vault for “Airgap Security” Media may be restored from the Vault at file-level to eliminate the risk of transporting disks. Open the disk at the Vault site and send the file over a network instead

© Disk Archive Corporation 2022 All Rights Reserved. Commercially Confidential. Make Single Replicas… 1:1 Replication for Hybrids Replication Factor 1 is used to create Hybrid Archives with other Replication-based systems including Tape or Optical storage, to eliminate Technology obsolescence and vendor Lock-In Hybrid solutions with ALTO on the Premises & a second replica in a Cloud provides a combination of affordable high performance, with outstanding DR capabilities Reducing the Replication Factor to 1 allows all, or just part of the ALTO to be used as a highly cost-effective backup for other storage Devices

© Disk Archive Corporation 2022 All Rights Reserved. Commercially Confidential. Off-the-Shelf Disks. Any Size any Vendor any Slot, any Time ALTO uses commodity disk drives that can be purchased locally from suppliers or online and added in batches to provide additional capacity when needed as an operating expense. Buying disks locally in batches allows users to take advantage of falling disk prices and increasing disk capacities over time, with no vendor lock-in. Disk capacity is increasing, driven by economies of scale in social media storage. Price per currently around $15 per TB Use multiple disk vendors, disk types, and performance to increase diversity and optimise performance against cost.
