DATA SHEETInfiniVerse® Consumption Services

Storage is the most critical part of your IT infrastructure and as you make strategic decisions, aligning your businessstorage platform needs with your budget is critical. Infinidat’s goal is to make that easy. InfiniVerse Consumption Services
is designed to be like our products and our company values, easy to use, and easy to do business with. Additionally, you
can enable the best white-glove support as you work with our expert teams to decide what is the optimal way for you to
consume storage for your business.
Businesses typically buy in one of three ways. We have designed InfiniVerse Consumption Services to cover mostcustomers’ requirements. First and foremost, we make storage consumption easy on a number of levels.
Our storage platforms are powered by InfuzeOS™. Why is that important? We leverage a model where all our corecapabilities are all-inclusive, with no license fees. That means you get the same functionality, data services, cyberprotection, and ease of use across our entire storage platform. That makes your job even easier! Other vendors may havecompletely different operating environments, with different data services, availability, and support capabilities. Somemay even lack consistent data services, and more importantly today, cyber resilience. This adds complexity and timethat IT resources just don’t have. Infinidat with InfuzeOS removes these concerns. Here are the three ways our enterprisestorage platforms can be consumed:

FLX
FLX is our full OpEx consumption model. If your businesshas a budget initiative or is built to consume its storage asa service (STaaS), this is for you. Infinidat will supply yourbusiness with a storage platform that meets your workload
needs, just like with the CapEx and COD models, but you
don’t worry about owning the asset.

FLX: Burst up or down

COD: Add more to base capacity

CapEx: full frame

Capacity on Demand (COD)
COD is CapEx with one big difference. The difference isthat if you want all the capacity now, but don’t want to
pay for all of it today you can instead pay as you grow. This
makes COD a powerful option to help manage your budget.
COD enables you to own your asset but also allows you tobuy the baseline capacity you need today and purchase youradditional capacity over time. If the additional capacity isalready available in the platform, it is simply enabled, andoff you go. If you have a partially populated InfiniBox SSA
that needs to be scaled up, that is simple too; an Infinidat
engineer comes and non-disruptively adds the storage
capacity, and off you go.

Full System Capacity

CapEx: partially populated

CapEx
This is the most traditional way of procuring your storage.
It’s simple. You buy it, you own it. This method is available
across our portfolio and is based on a full-capacity purchaseof InfiniBox or InfiniGuard. InfiniBox SSA provides a flexible
scale-up option where you can start with as little as 60% of
the total capacity available in a particular model. You canthen grow that to 80% or directly to 100% when needed.
All-inclusive InfuzeOS and our core InfiniSafe® cyber
resilience technology are also included.

Initial Base Capacity

InfiniVerse® Consumption Services

You start with a baseline capacity that is your starting point for billing.
At every measurement period, you see if you used more than your basecapacity and adjust accordingly, up or down, but not below the baseline.
For example in month two, if you used 50TB more, it is your baseline plus
the additional 50TB, in month three if your usage actually dropped to 25TB
above your baseline, then it is your baseline plus 25TB. You never pay formore than you actually use.
