HOW CAN I GET ALL THE ADVANTAGES OF A MODERN DATA CENTER ARCHITECTURE? Erik Riedel, SVP Engineering July 2021 @RiedelAtWork I 1

ITRenew Webinar Are you confident that you have the right data center architecture to support your business-critical applications? How Can I Get All the Advantages of a Modern Data Center Architecture? Are you finding it difficult to manage your data center infrastructure when you need to make changes? Can you scale as your needs grow? Now is the time for you to modernize your data center with an architecture that’s open and simple. Open architecture allows you to make your data center more efficient, flexible, and scalable. July 22, 2021 11:00 AM (America/San Francisco) Join us for a conversation on: • How open architecture drives massively improved data center density and efficiency • How the Open Computer Project (OCP) fosters a collaborative community focused on redesigning hardware technology to support your growing compute, storage and networking demands • Delivering state-of-the-art performance and reliability without compromise Learn how to gain the advantages of a modernized data center with open architecture and without breaking your budget.

Open Is Necessary, But Not Sufficient Per Se design, engineering and product expertise, rigorous commitment to component quality [hardware] design, engineering and product expertise, rigorous commitment to component quality from capacitors to consensus algorithms to cognitive load wide dynamic range of skills must be applied & appreciated ORCHESTRATING AN OPEN HARDWARE + OPEN SOFTWARE STACK [software] requires baseline partnership across hardware & software devops – collaboration from designers & developers to operations automation, analytics, and machine learning for all the things can’t be efficient at hyperscale without the machines making many, most decisions I 4

The Benefits of Open Hardware MORE FLEXIBILITY HIGH DENSITY COMPUTING OPTIMIZED POWER OPTIMIZED COOLING STREAMLINED MAINTENANCE Multi-vendor, standards-based hardware for modular solutions to fit your needs More server, storage, and network capacity, in less space saves costs Rack-level power vs. individual server power. More efficient. Less cost. Fewer points of failure Rack-level cooling to operate more efficiently. Even more with free-air cooling, if the data centers support it Flexible, easy-access design enables faster troubleshooting, updates, and upgrades Open infrastructure lets everyone realize the advantages of agility, operational efficiency, and energy consumption I 5

The Benefits of Open Software MORE FLEXIBILITY HIGH DENSITY COMPUTING OPTIMIZED POWER OPTIMIZED COOLING STREAMLINED MAINTENANCE Multi-vendor, standards-based software for modular solutions to fit your needs More automation, with API-driven scalability, allows more software per silicon in2 Stack-level power vs. individual packaged software. More efficient. Less cost. Fewer points of failure Stack-level continuous integration, continuous deployment (CI/CD) to validate more efficiently. Fewer points of failure in the field Flexible, API-based, devops-considered design enables faster troubleshooting, updates, and upgrades Open infrastructure lets everyone realize that advantages of agility, operational efficiency, and rapid deployment I 6

Partnerships from across the industry ensure Sesame by ITRenew sets the standard for flexible, scalable and efficient IT infrastructure – optimized for any deployment or workload I 7
