  2. Future • Disk based backup becoming cost effective • Archive and Backup diverge • Recovery in minutes or seconds • Continuous backup • End user recovery • Self healing backups Today • Majority of companies use tape • Tape: one size fits all • Backup once per day • Tape recoveries slow & unreliable • Administrators do all recoveries Industry WavesBackup and recovery evolution

  3. Customer Needs: Faster Recovery • Recovery is unreliable and painful • Too slow and expensive to recover files • typical recovery takes hours or days (slow, expensive) • Recoveries are unreliable • 42% of companies had failed recovery in past year • 50% of customers wish for online backup verification • Data protection is labor intensive • All recoveries go through the server admin Rapid and Reliable Recovery

  4. Continuous and efficient protection Customer Data Protection Pain Points Customer Needs: Eliminating Backup Window • Backup is too complex, slow, and inefficient • Shrinking backup window • Growth in data makes it too difficult and time consuming to back up • Backups too slow/lots of manual scheduling • Mandated disaster recovery plans • 24 hours of data loss assumed with tape • Tape as one size fits all (file and server recovery, offsite protection and long term archive) • Tape inconvenience and unreliability of is # 1 challenge

  5. Operational Simplicity Customer Data Protection Pain Points Customer Needs: Simpler Solution, Lower costs • Current backup products are too complex, costly • Companies spend too much time and money on backup • Labor is the majority of backup cost • Branch office data protection is cumbersome • Massive data growth increases costs • Too many tapes • Most disk-based backup solution are cost prohibitive

  6. Ideal scenarios for DPM are: • Medium-sized data centers • Have aggressive Recovery Point Objective (RPO) • Have a faster Recovery Time Objective (RTO) than tape can provide • Significant costs associated with a data loss event • Significant backup window issues • Frequent file recoveries from tape • Few IT staff • Enterprises with lots of branch offices • Many distributed branch office file servers • Few or no dedicated IT staff in the branch • Likely to currently use existing tape infrastructure • High backup costs

  7. Solutions With DPMDisk to Disk to Tape within data center Active Directory Clients File Servers Tape Library DPM Servers Agents • Agents track / synchronize data from production servers to DPM • All agent communication initiated from DPS • Components: file system filter, Coordinator • Each protected volume has sync log (10% of volume size) • Agent overhead 3-5% • Deployed via DPM UI DPM Server: • Windows Server 2003 or Storage Server • SQL, Reporting Services • Lots of disks (1.3X) – Storage Pool • Replica and Snapshots created for quick recovery • Source for tape backup Snapshots • Multiple, schedule driven point-in-time copies • User-friendly, wizard driven set up and restore • Read only • Copy-on-Write, software based snapshots Active Directory • Maintains ACL’s • Queries AD for new servers • Alerts for various data protection meaningful events • Redirects shadow copies Tape Library • Backup to tape from DPM • VSS Writer SDK available to tape software partners to provide integration • Backup DPM itself

  8. Corporate WAN Implementation Scenarios Branch office data protection Backup process • Agent deployed to branch office servers • Agent captures data and replicates to DPM server in HQ • DPM takes snapshots to enable recovery at multiple points in time Benefits • Rapid & reliable recovery including end user recovery • Less potential data loss • Easy and efficient scheduling and management • No trained staff needed in branch • Reduce tape equipment requirements in the branch Clients New York DPM Server Clients Chicago Headquarters Clients Los Angeles

  9. Microsoft IT Case Study • Pain Points • 17% Annual Failure rate on Tape drives • Per Month - 40,000 backup jobs, 16000 errors  • 30% annual growth in data storage ~5000 servers • Solution • 300GB Branch office data – 10 minute block level replication each night • 14 DPM servers replaced 130 Tape libraries, media servers and associated infrastructure in branches • Redmond – 4 DPM servers / 73 branch offices / 15.37 terabytes • Dublin -- 5 DPM servers / 35 branch offices / 22.08 terabytes • Singapore -- 3 DPM servers / 22 branch offices / 5.85 terabytes of data. • Box: HP ProLiant GL380 G4 computers with 3.6Ghz processors and 4 GB RAM. • Storage: EMC CLARiiON SAN with 320 GB SATA drives.
