Solving Today’s Data Protection Challenges with NSB 1

Data Protection Market  Virtualization driving rearchitecting of backup to disk and DR, which are top priorities  Data growing at 50% or more a year  Market need for snapshots and replication  Top customer priorities: Backup to disk Business Continuity/DR Storage Virtualization Storage Optimization Green Projects 2

Data Protection: Why Is Backup Broken? 3 RequirementChallenges Current State Reduce or Eliminate Backup Window Growing data volumes overwhelm traditional backup Faster Recovery Significant cost of downtime Unified Protection Protect all data types (OS, data, applications, VMs) Simplified Disaster Recovery Difficult to manage, recover, validate, and test Reduced Cost and Complexity Maintenance and point products drive overhead R R RYG R R R Chart based on a variety of analyst reports

Backup Is Broken: Production Systems 4 Physical & VM App Servers VTL or TapeDR Site Storage Production Data Protection Backup Servers  Read and move the same data multiple times –Significant impact on production systems (CPU, I/O) –Problematic for VMs with shared hardware –Extends backup times  Creates cascading problems end to end Production Impact

Backup Is Broken: Architecture  Multiple backup solutions needed –Physical, virtual, SharePoint ®, DBs, BMR… –Increased management and training costs  Backup servers create bottleneck and increase risk 5 Physical & VM App Servers VTL or TapeDR Site Backup Servers Storage Production Data Protection Complex Architecture

Backup Is Broken: Target Storage  Backup data stored in proprietary format –Must be transformed to be usable –Sharing data requires time and capacity impact  Restore is very slow, extending downtime 6 Physical & VM App Servers VTL or TapeDR Site Backup Servers Storage Production Data Protection Slow and Inefficient

Backup Is Broken: Disaster Recovery  DR processes are resource intensive  Difficult to test and verify  Leads to excessive corporate risk …Will it work when you need it? 7 Physical & VM App Servers Storage Production VTL or TapeDR Site Backup Servers Data Protection Complex and Costly

Current State of Data Protection  Four architectural areas cause pain points, poor performance, and excessive costs –Data is read/moved more times than needed –Point products add complexity and cost –Backup data in proprietary format is time consuming to restore –DR is complex and resource intensive 8 Physical & VM App Servers VTL or TapeDR Site Storage Production Data Protection Backup Servers

 Design strategies –Read data only once –Store smart –Complete, integrated, and easy to use –Leverage NetApp storage capabilities –Enable Physical to Virtual (P2V) and Virtual to Virtual (V2V) migration  Key technologies –Block-level incremental –Multipurpose snapshots –Deduplication and replication –Instant availability, instant virtualization –Granular application-level recovery 9 Backup RecoveryDR NSB Technical Innovation
