Forward Looking Statements Notice

This roadmap document contains “forward-looking statements” as defined under the Federal Securities
Laws. Actual results or deliverables could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking
statements as a result of certain risk factors, including but not limited to: (i) adverse changes in general
economic or market conditions; (ii) delays or reductions in information technology spending; (iii) risks
associated with acquisitions and investments, including the challenges and costs of integration, restructuring
and achieving anticipated synergies; (iv) competitive factors, including but not limited to pricing pressures
and new product introductions; (v) the relative and varying rates of product price and component cost
declines and the volume and mixture of product and services revenues; (vi) component and product quality
and availability; (vii) the transition to new products, the uncertainty of customer acceptance of new product
offerings and rapid technological and market change; (viii) insufficient, excess or obsolete inventory; (ix) war
or acts of terrorism; (x) the ability to attract and retain highly qualified employees; (xi) fluctuating currency
exchange rates; and (xii) other one-time events and other important factors disclosed previously and from

EASIER SIMPLER BETTER
vRPA Cluster
• Higher footprint
• Cluster HA + VMWare HA
• Larger Environment
• Enterprise Tier-1
 New Dashboard
EASIER SIMPLER BETTER

• Single Pane of glass

– Automatically removeforstandalone
all RP4VMs systems
vRPA cluster using a dedicated external Uninstaller

tool tracking of protection status

• Monitor:
– System health status
– vCenter Protection summary
– CGs status
– System alerts and statistics

• Zoom-in to Protection SLA per CG:

 Pre-Defined
Pre-Defined Failover
Failover Network
Network Configuration
Configuration
Assign Networks to be used when Failing-Over

• Pre-define failover network per CG

• Define failover network per CG:

• Testing Point-in-Time:
– User can choose the pre-defined failover network,
or a dedicated isolated network

• Promote to failover flow:

– User can continue with current test network, or
use the pre-defined failover network

Enhanced Power-Up sequence
EASIER SIMPLER BETTER

• Acknowledge VM boot before

powering up next VM

 Set priority of VMs within

a Consistency Group
 Set priority of CGs within a Group Set
 Priorities range between 1 (first) to 5 (last)
 Power-up sequence will stop if a critical
VM fail to start
