- 12. 1212 SpringCM scales byusing DataStax Enterprise + HP Moonshot With an equivalent capital investment (comparisons to DL360s) : • Write Events - 3X the capacity to execute workflow steps (10X more than SQL) - Nearly 100% reduction in locking events on object metadata - 3X increase in capacity to apply metadata to objects (Due to locking avoidance, 30X more than SQL) • Deletion Events - Nearly transparent ability to delete rows on a retention schedule because of TTL capability • Read Event - General ability is 6-7X faster during high read load periods - During equivalent read-to-write load periods, it’s about 4X faster

- 14. 1414 Our Approach –DataStax Enterprise • Most mature NoSQL solution • Community based, used by the top players • Elastic technology • Ring base architecture • Cost effective • Time to Live features • Easy to manage / maintain • Extendable (native support for Spark, Solr ) • Highly available • Geo-replication of data
- 15. 1515 Our Approach –HP Moonshot System • Ideal for high volume bursts of data changes • Economical high node to TB ratio • 45 servers in 4u space, 40Gbit Network, No cabling per cartridge • 70% power savings over traditional rack server architecture • Speeds time to market by simplifying platform requirements • Drive down TCO and deliver a smaller, denser compute architecture • In a data center with 30A / 208V powered cabinets, we can run 2-3X the amount of data per cabinet equivalent
- 16. 1616 Our Approach –ProLiant DL servers • More affordable for time series data such as – Logs – History – Audit data – Other • Ability to have large capacity nodes • Economical as we re-used old hardware
- 17. 1717 Lessons Learned • Prepareyour team for the task ahead – DataStax Consultation in house – Eventual consistency – Know your query before you build your table – Know your access patterns – Send key members to training • Make a technology decision based on data/trust • Dealing with hybrid environments - culture • Start small, grow as you gain confidence • CQL is comforting • DataStax & HP Support is awesome
- 18. 1818 The Future • Continueto reduce the size our SQL footprint • Use Solr to re-engineer our Reporting engine • Use Spark to enhance our back end analytics engine • Materialized views

- #7 You may not yet know exactly what we do at SpringCM. Let us share with you… We deliver a secure, central repository for all contracts to be stored, shared and worked across the organization Highly flexibility to the needs and behaviors of the many players in the contracts process – whether you work in Salesforce or not Integrate, sync content with customer data (in CRM, in the cloud, on mobile, on-premise/desktop)
- #8 Advanced Workflow Capabilities Smart Rules Document Generation Document Merge / Split Document Routing & Approval Document Smart Sync Document Signature We deliver a secure, central repository for all contracts to be stored, shared and worked across the organization Highly flexibility to the needs and behaviors of the many players in the contracts process – whether you work in Salesforce or not Integrate, sync content with customer data (in CRM, in the cloud, on mobile, on-premise/desktop) Awesome RESTful API designed by engineers for engineers
- #9 Key messages: cloud-based content repository provides great flexibility, accommodating any number of work styles; increases productivity, improves visibility Salesforce solved your sales problems by moving CRM to the Cloud • Pipelines were stored in disparate spreadsheets, making forecasting difficult • Couldn’t see deal status • A mobile workforce could not access forecast or sales enablement materials from outside of the office • Salesforce resolved all of these issues by moving to the cloud • SpringCM, in the same way, solves your content problems by moving content to the Cloud • Getting content off file servers and hard drives to a central repository • Being able to track status and usage of content • Providing powerful searching to allow you to find content • Providing a mobile workforce the ability to access the content where and how they want • A centralized content repository stored in the cloud can be accessed using the platform and tool desired • Salesforce users can see content from SpringCM within the context of the Salesforce Account or Opportunity – No need to leave Salesforce • Colleagues who do not use Salesforce (e.g., the Legal Department) can see the same content using one of the alternative SpringCM methods such as
