  10. Laptops Headquarters Storage Desktops Home Offices Branch Offices Servers What’s the big picture goal of DR? • Take all the data you have (right now) • Frequently copy the data (far enough away to be safe) • Be able to restore quickly (when needed) • And do all of the above reliably, inexpensively, and simply

  11. 11 Network diagram (without WAN optimization) Local backup in branch offices Expensive Unreliable Limited coverage Heavy administration Unprotected desktops & laptops WAN DATA CENTER Limited replication to recovery datacenter sites

  12. 12 Network diagram (with WAN optimization) Protect branch offices across the WAN (or consolidate IT to the datacenter) ROI in hardware & bandwidth savings Reliable & Resilient Comprehensive Automated Steelhead Appliance Backup desktops & laptops across the WAN WAN Steelhead Appliance DATA CENTER Steelhead Mobile Replicate all data to recovery datacenter sites All powered by the Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS) Steelhead Appliance

  13. DR SITE WAN RiOS enhancements for DR use cases Traffic Recognition Adaptive Data Optimization Algorithms DATA CENTER • Riverbed toolkit approach: choose the best technology for the job • Flexible yet simple • Per-TCP connection approach • Analyze for memory or disk & memory data reduction • Choose between data reduction or compression

  14. EMC Partnership • E-Lab qualified Steelhead solutions: • SRDF, Recover Point, Celerra Replicator, Mirrorview, SAN Copy • Unique SRDF and FCIP protocol optimizations • Auto-configure for SRDF • EMC specific Steelhead 501, 601, 701 models • A few of our joint customers:

  15. WAN LAN 155 Mbps 945 Mbps SRDF/A Performance @ GTE Federal Credit Union • Background: • Credit Union with OC-3 with 50 ms RTT • SRDF/A replication for payment processing • Problem: • Unable to handle peak data transfers during end-of-week and end-of-month • Needed to handle 800 Mbps during peak activity • Solution: • Deployed pair of Steeelheads 6050 • Maintained SRDF integrity during peak transfers • Delivered over 945 Mbps LAN over an OC-3 WAN 5.9X Throughput “We haven’t had an SRDF/A group fail since we put Riverbeds in.” Anthony Bender, Director of Technical Support, IS Officer

  16. SRDF/A Performance @ Cal ISO • Environment: • Redundant OC-3 with 12 msec RTT • SRDF/A with other apps • Oracle database replication • Problem: • Backup link was also being used to meet existing data transfer needs. • Needed to reduce the impact of replication traffic on WAN and other critical applications • Solution: • Reduced WAN bandwidth by 6.5x • Enable true network redundancy enabling moving all traffic on the primary link

  17. SRDF/A Performance @ Chase Paymentech • A leading credit card processor for merchants • Environment: • Redundant OC3 with 45 msec RTT • Oracle database replication • Problem: • Needed to reduce the impact of replication traffic on WAN and other critical applications • Solution: • Reduced WAN bandwidth by 6x • Avoided bandwidth upgrade

  18. Steelhead 7050 ALL SSD-based storage Extreme processing power: 2X6 cores Fault Tolerant Segstore (FTS) 10GigE Ethernet support

  19. Product Enhancements for DR • “This newest appliance goes far beyond the capabilities of any other vendor offerings for high-end datacenter deployments.” • Arun Taneja • CEO of the Taneja group

  20. WAN LAN 528 Mbps 2.2 Gbps Large Health Care Provider • Problem: • OC-48 WAN Pipe • SRDF required 6x OC-12s worth of capacity • Solution: • Steelhead 7050s • Multiple LAN Gbps per box • 4-6x data reduction

  21. Application Intelligence – SRDF and FCIP • Use protocol knowledge to improve network deduplication • Apply deduplication to the data, not random headers: • FCIP – 68 bytes of FCIP/FC header for every ~2100 bytes of data • V-MAX SRDF/A – 8 bytes of DIF for every 512 bytes of data … Data Data Data WAN … Data Data Data

  22. EMC E-Labs: Before FCIP/SRDF-fluent optimizations WAN LAN 364 Mbps 90 Mbps Before FCIP and SRDF optimizations: 4x reduction

  23. EMC E-Labs: Before FCIP/SRDF-fluent optimizations WAN LAN 548 Mbps 18 Mbps After FCIP and SRDF optimizations: 30x reduction Real-World Results 30-60% improvement in data reduction and performance

  24. RecoverPoint Performance @ G&T Conveyor • Background • National air industry manufacturer • Poor application and email performance • Enhance DR strategy • Results • 20x acceleration in application performance • Easily move 500 GB of data for DR purposes • Key benefits from deploying Riverbed • Bandwidth savings • Faster file sharing and project delivery • Robust disaster recovery plan “Our massive half-terabyte DR jobs that basically didn’t work, even over four days, can now be done successfully in a day.” “Now, we have centralized file shares that are accessible at essentially LAN speed anytime, and to top if off our version control problems have disappeared.” George Tilmon, IT Group

  25. Steelheads with MirrorView/A over ISCSI • Results • 5x throughput improvement with Steelheads • 10x data reduction • Meet RPO with multiple volumes without adding additional bandwidth for DR • Allows replication to occur during business hoursWithout Steelhead single volume • Mirrorview with CLARiiON CX4 Model 120 • Locations: San Diego and Dallas • Latency: 35 – 40ms • WAN bandwidth: 20Mbps • Steelhead Model: 2050M • Performance Tuning: SDR-Adaptive, default CPU settings • SAN Processors: 2 Storage Processors on each CLARiiON array • Connectivity: iSCSI • Data Size: 20TB

  26. Steelhead with EMC Celerra Replicator A testimony from an architecture and engineering firm at Kansas City, Missouri, USA • Accelerating EMC Celerra V2 Replication and EMC Centera replication • 6 Mbps link  between Kansas City and Dallas. • 6x transfer rate improvement • 6 Mbps link feels like a 35 Mbps pipe replicating 200 GB of data a day Benefits Using Steelhead: 85%-98% data reduction – Reduce bandwidth 6x Transfer Rate improvement – Improve RTO and RPO

  27. EMC Celerra Replicator • Average of 95% data reduction (including full & incremental backups) over a week Instead of sending 352GB over the WAN, only 14GB (5% of total data) was sent over the WAN.
