Our goal: Explore approaches to backup, storage and archiving to determine what makes the most sense for your organization in terms of time, resources and complexity.

Navigate Storage’s Credentials Data protection specialty provider established in 1999 Boston, NJ/NY and Florida Storage: SAN, FC, iSCSI/SATA, WORM Continuous data protection: Exch., SQL, SharePoint Clustering: Exch., SQL, Oracle, IIS, SharePoint, Blackberry Disaster recovery remote replication Backup solutions: tape, D2D2T, D2D, capacity optimization solutions, remote backup service , file, SharePoint and IM archiving: compliance Kaspersky anti-virus/Spyware and spam protection

Things Aren’t What They Used To Be Backup A spare copy of a file, file system, or other resource for use in the event of failure or loss of the original Archive A long-term storage area, often on magnetic tape, for backup copies of files or for files that are no longer in active use Restore To bring back into existence or use; reestablish: restore law and order

Let’s Get Practical Today’s technology offers some great alternatives in functionality, value and price archiving Backup Continuous data protection Commonality factoring/block level de-duplication  Remote sites  Central office Storage

Archiving Why use it? End user productivity, good corporate governance, compliance, asset protection, IT value Archiving can deliver: Corporate governance and compliance  Protect assets and enable in house discovery Improved mail server performance to end user Better storage and server utilization  50 percent compression and single image store Rapid search/discovery capability archiving can also include File archiving Instant message archiving SharePoint for collaboration archiving Facilitates compliance supervision and reporting

Archiving Architecture Benefits Existing Applications Storage Agnostic Reduce/Consolidate Storage Archive Architecture Retrieval Architecture Benefits Reduce File I/O for Transparent to users Protect Original Message Data Offline Access IIS Full Text Search Index Messages and Attachments All Information in Archive Synchronized Off-Line Archive Access to Messages Controlled Local Data User Full Text Index Archive Policy Service

Continuous Data Protection Key points Sits over the file level Captures every committed writ Replicates to repository with time stamp Local and remote Restore to any point in time Repository can be used for B ackup target Reporting Supports SharePoint, SQL, Exchange and files

Capacity Optimization, Data De-Duplication De-duplication of data can significantly reduce the amount of storage capacity required since it only stores unique data. Additionally, combining de-duplication with data compression makes the capacity savings even more compelling The process Chunking: breaking up the data into blocks of data and identifying the data with a unique name and location Inspecting the data and never store chunks we have seen before only store pointers Securing the data: protect the integrity of the chunks and internally make copies Provide ability to rapidly restore The benefits Extraordinary 20+ capacity improvements 20TB of data in a 1 TB Network efficiencies for remote offices – less than 1% transmitted for a full backup nightly

Storage Storage options unlimited Direct attached (DAS); network attached storage (NAS); storage area networks (SAN) Fibre iSCSI Unified storage (SAN and NAS) Optical: UDO today Functionality WORM Remote replication Disk positioning Grid Classes of vendors Outstanding values available
