Building Ai Smart Data Tool Kit I A Legacy of SuccessOver 25 years ago, we launched Advantage Systems Professionals in Pittsford, NY, as the first of ourindependently owned and operated tech partnerships. Since then, our market-leading success in the techspace has benefited everyone who has had the resolve to invest, create, innovate, adapt, and persevere.Two of our more initiatory tech developments include being the first to earn the FedRAMP Authority toOperate with our ARC-P Platform and now the introduction of Zantaz Data Resources' Ai Smart Data Tool Kit.FedRamp Authorization for the First Cloud PlatformOur Autonomic Resources partnership blazed a trail for our remarkable problem-solving developmentefforts in the world of first-generation and next-generation tech platforms. Launched in North Carolina withour Managing Partner, John Keese, Autonomic Resources developed the groundbreaking FedCloudPlatform, ARC-P, to become the first to secure the highly coveted FedRamp Authorization for a cloudplatform for federal agencies.Over a decade ago, the Obama Administration recognized the need to transition to a secure clouddeployment model for all 450+ federal agencies. Autonomic Resources answered the call to develop thehighest-level-security federal cloud platform [based on the stringent NIST demands] that could be utilized byall federal agencies [including our alpha-account, the Department of Defense] and all of their potentialproviders. Remarkably, we delivered the first FedRamp Authorized Cloud Platform well ahead of industrygiants like AWS, Azure, Google, and IBM. Once authorized, we brokered a highly successful sale of ourFedCloud Platform to CSC, a leading federal agency contractor. This ensured that our FedCloud Platform,ARC-P, would gain maximum exposure and instant recognition among all federal agencies.Also of note was our successful engagement with Capax Global partnership’s alpha-account, United Airlines[prior to Capax Global’s successful acquisition by Hitachi Data Systems]. While United Airlines and Microsoftwere building a new reservation system in Azure, they came across a myriad of challenges that only CapaxGlobal could solve. As a long-time Microsoft Azure Partner, Capax Global, under the guidance of foundingpartners Jerry and Jessica Hawk, delivered unbelievably complex and technical solutions to some of theworld’s largest companies, and their work with United Airlines was no exception.

Ai Smart Data Processing I #4. Reducing Storage CostsData RemediationAi Smart Data facilitates fast, petabyte-scale metadata AI-augmented analysis to determine critical criteriasuch as data ownership, utilization, redundancy, and age. By eliminating old, redundant, and irrelevant data,especially Dark Data, your organization can improve data quality, dramatically reduce storage costs, andenhance its overall security and compliance posture.Data Storage Optimization and Cost SavingsAi Smart Data empowers your organization to assess its escalating data estate costs and take actionableinsights to reduce legacy storage expenses dramatically. Through AI-augmented analysis and defensibledeletion, you can remove unnecessary data that exceeds defined retention schedules, achieving immediatecost savings and a more streamlined data environment.Since Ai Smart Data can help reduce storage infrastructure, support, and power by up to 70%, the savings inannual data storage costs can be significant. For example, if an enterprise is currently spending $50,000per terabyte of data per year, reducing its storage needs by 70% would result in savings of $35,000 perterabyte of data annually. For a regional enterprise with 10 terabytes of data, this could result in savings of$350,000 per year, and for a large international enterprise with 1,000 terabytes of data, the savings couldbe as much as $35 million per year.Reducing Electricity ConsumptionUtilizing Ai Smart Data to reduce data storage can result in significant cost savings, as well as a reduction inelectricity consumption and carbon footprint. By reducing the amount of data stored, your organization canmitigate the environmental impact of its data storage practices.In terms of electricity consumption, the average electricity consumption for the storage of one terabyte ofdata in a disk array is approximately 120 kWh per year. Therefore, if an enterprise is able to reduce its datastorage by 70%, it could potentially reduce its electricity consumption by up to 84 kWh per terabyte of dataannually.Cost Savings From Carbon CreditsReducing electricity consumption can have a significant impact on an enterprise’s carbon footprint, as thegeneration of electricity is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions. The reduction of 84 kWh perterabyte of data annually could result in a reduction of approximately 60 kg of CO2 emissions per year,assuming an average carbon intensity of 0.71 kg CO2 per kWh. For an enterprise with 100 terabytes of data,this could result in a reduction of approximately 6,000 kg of CO2 emissions per year.As of March 2023, the average price of carbon credits in the European Union Emissions Trading System [EUETS] was approximately €60 per tonne of CO2 emissions. Using this price as a reference, the reduction of6,000 kg of CO2 emissions per year would represent a cost savings of approximately €360 per year.Reducing electricity consumption through the use of more efficient data storage solutions can havesignificant environmental benefits while reducing costs for enterprises over the long term.36

Ai Smart Data Tool Kit I Traditional Storage TiersTiered storage is a data management strategy that involves classifying and storing data in different tiers orlevels based on specific attributes, such as data value, access frequency, performance requirements, andcost considerations. By implementing storage tiering, your organization can optimize its data storageinfrastructure, enhance data accessibility, improve performance, and reduce costs.Here is an explanation of the storage tiers commonly used in tiered storage. The choice of storage tiersdepends on factors such as data value, access patterns, performance requirements, compliance obligations,and budget constraints.Tier 0Tier 0 is the highest-performance storage tier designed for extremely critical and time-sensitive data. Ittypically consists of storage media like high-speed solid-state drives [SSDs], non-volatile memory express[NVMe] drives, or in-memory systems. Tier 0 is ideal for workloads that demand ultra-low latency andrequire real-time access to data. It is commonly used for high-performance computing, financial tradingsystems, and transactional databases where every microsecond counts.Tier 1Also known as the primary storage tier, Tier 1 is designed for mission-critical data that requires fast andfrequent access. It includes high-performance storage systems such as all-flash arrays [AFA] or hybridstorage arrays combining SSDs and traditional hard disk drives [HDDs]. Tier 1 storage is characterized by itslow latency and high input/output operations per second [IOPS]. It is suitable for databases, virtualizedenvironments, and applications that require high-performance storage for immediate data retrieval.Tier 2Tier 2 storage is used for less critical data that is accessed less frequently than Tier 1. It strikes a balancebetween performance and cost-effectiveness by incorporating traditional HDDs or network-attachedstorage [NAS] systems. Tier 2 storage is commonly used for backups, file shares, and secondary copies ofdata that may require occasional access or near-line retrieval.Tier 3Tier 3 storage is focused on long-term data retention and archival purposes. It offers high capacity andlower cost per unit of storage but with slower access times compared to higher tiers. Tape drives and tapelibraries are often used in Tier 3 storage due to their high capacity, cost-effectiveness, and suitability fordata that is infrequently accessed but needs to be retained for compliance, regulatory, or historicalpurposes. Tier 3 storage is commonly used for data archiving, regulatory compliance, and large-scalebackup and recovery solutions.Cloud Storage TierCloud storage has gained popularity as a flexible and scalable option for tiered storage. Cloud serviceproviders [CSPs] offer different storage classes or tiers, each optimized for specific use cases. Thesestorage classes may include hot storage for frequently accessed data, cool storage for infrequentlyaccessed data with lower retrieval costs, and cold storage for rarely accessed data with the lowest cost butlonger retrieval times. Cloud storage tiers provide your organization with the ability to scale storage84

resources dynamically and align costs with actual data usage.Object Storage TierObject storage is a scalable and highly available storage architecture that organizes data as objects withunique identifiers and metadata. It offers high durability, scalability, and simplified data management.Object storage tiers can be configured based on access frequency, data lifecycle policies, and costconsiderations. This allows your organization to optimize storage costs by moving data to the mostappropriate tier based on its access patterns and value. Object storage is commonly used for storingUnstructured Data, such as files, images, videos, logs, and backups, in a cost-effective and scalable manner.Cold Storage TierCold storage is dedicated to storing data that is rarely accessed but needs to be retained for long periods.It prioritizes cost savings over immediate accessibility. Cold storage solutions include options such asoffline storage media [e.g., tape drives], low-cost cloud storage, or dedicated archival systems. While theretrieval times for cold storage may be longer compared to other tiers, it offerssignificant cost advantages for long-term data retention, compliance, andregulatory requirements.PremCloud Resources I Ai SupervisorAi Supervisor: An AI-Driven Compliance and Monitoring SolutionPremCloud's Ai Supervisor promises to stand out as an industry-leading solution for communicationsmonitoring, leveraging artificial intelligence to provide an intelligent, automated, and user-friendlyexperience for compliance officers and human resource organizations.

Ai Smart Data Tool Kit I Closing CommentsTony WalkerFounding Partner, The Advantage CoMy first foray into tech was over 40 years ago when I launched Computer Head Start in Williamsville, NY.From there, we have had a variety of successful adventures, from the Advantage Computer Co toGetSony.com [built exclusively for Sony in the 90s]. Along the way, we developed expertise in eCommerceas well as IT staffing, but it wasn’t until Tom Thomson transformed our IT Staffing partnership into ITProfessional Services that we became fully engaged in tech development. Since then, we have beenfortunate to have been at the forefront of many tech initiatives, most notably being the first to receive theFedRAMP ATO with our Autonomic Resources partnership.PremCloud ResourcesToday, UGA Capital ventures has invested in our PremCloud Resources partnership as the foundation for allour current and future tech initiatives. As our Development Partner and CEO, Tom continues to deliverextraordinary results with our PremCloud Resources partnership that put us at the forefront of technologyinnovation [in spite of our rather modest size and resources].We are Data ArchivistsRecently, we have been working on modernizing data archiving. Starting in 2007, with our Capax Globalpartners John Baiocco and Jerry Hawk, we developed an impressive ability to deploy, service, and supportdata archiving solutions. With PremCloud Resources, we have been able to extend our data archivingservices to include advanced software development. Over the past few years, we have focused ourresources on modernizing our stable of data archiving solutions [e.g. EAS, HPCA, Zovy Archive, NearPoint,etc.]. However, data archiving today is dramatically different from when all of the most powerful archivingplatforms were developed. Nearly all of the current leaders in data archiving are still only able to archivedata that is archivable - and that leaves massive amounts of Unstructured Data in the lurch. Unfortunately,we were stuck in the same predicament.Building the Modern ArchiveAs we began work on the development of our Advanced Archive+ solution that could not only archive datathat was archivable but also connect to and archive the massive amount of other Unstructured Data thatrepresents over 90% of an organization's total data, our Chief Products Officer and President of PremCloudResources, Ronan Curran, pointed out two unassailable facts: first, we needed to build a next-generationdata connector to be able to securely and efficiently connect to a myriad of data sources, and, second, wewould need a tool to identify, enrich, index, classify, profile, and route all of the escalating data accessed,especially massive amounts of Dark Data.Kubernetes ClustersAlong the way, Ronan and his team pointed out a third unassailable fact: we needed to build ournext-generation end-to-end Unified Data Platform on a new architecture that was future-proof,containerized, AI-infused, easily deployed, updated, and serviced, and able to handle massive amounts ofdata securely and quickly.103

A Universal & Agnostic SolutionWhat happened next was absolutely remarkable. Our Unified Data Platform not only modernizes our legacyarchiving solutions but because of its advanced architecture, Marco Pizzolo and our Logix Hostingdeployment team are confident they can just as easily deploy a Proprietary Data Stack with any of anorganization’s legacy data management and storage solutions currently being deployed on-prem or in thecloud.From Mimecast to O365 to Digital Safe to Smarsh to Proofpoint to Veritas EV and onand on, a Proprietary Data Stack, built on PremCloud’s Unified Data Platform, canreadily modernize any storage solution, enabling any organization to have thecapability to easily and securely connect, identify, enrich, index, classify, profile, androute any and all of their massive amounts of stored data, including their metastasizingDark Data.Not only is this the Data Governance Cure for Dark Data, but …As mentioned in this profile, when we first deployed an alpha version of Data Detect at GE for its divestiture,we got another remarkable surprise to go along with the solution’s universal and agnostic deploymentcapabilities - it also dramatically reduced storage costs while providing a remarkable ROI. In GE's case,$30M [10 times the actual cost of the deployment].As with any development adventure, there are a multitude of surprises along the way, and while Tom and Iwould like to say we envisioned a solution that could modernize any data management and storage solutionout there, Cure Dark Data, and save money well beyond the cost of deployment - frankly, we ended up witha whole lot more than we expected.Up next is our Ai Smart Data ROI Calculator, a tool that is being developed by Deniel Lambrakis and thePremCloud Resources team in conjunction with Robert Keus and the BRTHRS team. The Ai Smart Data ROICalculator will allow any organization to easily estimate its total data storage, costs, potential savings, andROI. Already, in beta testing, it has proved to be an eye-opener.Today, Tom Thomson and I, along with our partner John Baiocco, are excited about the potential of whatPremCloud Resources is developing, but we are equally as proud of what Logix Hosting can deploy, service,and support.Hopefully, Ai Smart Data will transform your data and save your organization millions along the way.Thank you for your participation.104
