  1. Optimizing Disk and Tape in the Backup Environment

  2. Agenda… • The Issues… • Consequences of data growth… • Which technologies should I deploy? • Disk or Tape? • Data Reduction, Remote Replication? • When, where and why? • Tuning the solution to the customer • Discover the issues • Don’t be afraid to mix technologies • Use your secret weapons

  3. The 800 Pound Gorilla… 6-Fold Growth Data growth remains the #1 storage issue for customers • Extensive time & dollarsdevoted to addressing continued “data tsunami” • Increasing demands –recovery point/time needs, compliance and security requirements, multi-site management challenges…. Exabytes Created, Captured or Copied 1000 900 800 700 600 500 Fold Growth 400 - 6 300 200 100 0 0 2006 2006 2007 2007 2008 2008 2009 2009 2010 2010 Source: IDC

  4. The Effects of Data Growth $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ • Backup performance • Strains backup windows • Restore performance • Slows restore times • Management • Demands more resources • Disaster Recovery systems • Increases complexity and costs • Data Center costs • Hardware, software and facilities

  5. The Solution… • A comprehensive, innovative, hybrid backup environment • Comprehensive: • Meet your customers enterprise wide needs • Hybrid: • Combining disk and tape in a way that maximizes the benefits of their respective technologies • Innovative – New Technologies: • Data reduction • Remote replication

  6. The Report Card on Tape • Advantages • Low cost/GB • Portability • Widely accepted • Often required for regulatory compliance • Available encryption • Disadvantages: • Slow restores • Media management • Best for: • Moderate data growth • Data vaulting and archives

  7. The Report Card on Disk • Advantages • Performance/$ • Rapid restores • High reliability • Flexibility • Disadvantages: • Lack of portability • Cost • Best for: • Backup • Restore

  8. The Report Card on Data De-duplication • Advantages • Data storage efficiency • Backup disk cost savings • Multiple restore points • Enables cost effective remote replication • Disadvantages: • Cost (?) • New technology (?) • Best for: • Rapid data growth environments • Backup, restore and remote replication

  9. The Report Card on Remote Replication • Advantages • Greatly simplifies Disaster Recovery process • Automated • Can cross protect sites • Consolidated Disaster Recovery • Disadvantages: • High costs for bandwidth and disks at native levels • Best for: • Multi-site Disaster Recovery

  10. The Hybrid Solution Primary Data Centers Remote Offices Disk backup appliances that hold up to 50 X more data De-duplication and replication options that help integrate sites Midrange Data Centers Family of intelligent tape libraries and disk based VTLs that simplify management and meet diverse storage needs Centralized disk-to-tape systems Secure Vault Specialized disk and tape based solutions for demanding enterprise environments Disk backup appliances that hold up to 50 X more data

  11. In the Customers Environment… • Look at the whole environment • Customer IT initiatives • Single or multi-site • Network, application or environment issues which can impact your plans • Don’t be afraid to mix technologies • Combining disk and tape offers proven advantages • Don’t be afraid to explore new technologies • Use data de-duplication and remote replication to leverage your solution proposal
