Modern Data Center Virtualization Modern storage Cloud Legacy backup GAP Availability requirements RTO and RPO of hours/days Less than 6% tested quarterly Failure in more than 16% Backup data not leveraged No visibility 24/7 operations No patience for downtime and data loss Growing amount of data Enable the Always-On Business TM 82% of CIOs say there is a gap between the level of availability legacy backup solutions provide and what end users demand RTPO TM < 15min 100% tested Failure rate 0% Testing every upgrade or patch Proactive visibility

What does this gap mean? That the off-site aspect should be addressed due to the expectations of the business today. Investments in a Modern Data Center can take you to where you need to be. Modern Data Center Virtualization Modern storage Cloud

How can Data Loss be avoided? That’s the key first question in addressing availability today

Data Loss Avoidance 83% of Veeam customers are more confident in their current backup compared to previous solutions How do you reduce the risk of data loss?

"With Veeam’s data deduplication, the backup window shrunk, and the amount of backup storage required decreased as well. Now we save approx. $50,000 each year on backup storage costs.“ - Barry Stewart, IT Manager, Prairie South School Division Data Loss Avoidance

Off-site recovery 101 With vSphere virtualization, there are a lot of off-site things to consider: Running VMs Restoring VMs Having Data Available

Off-site recovery 101 There also are a lot of challenges: (Possible) Idle DR data center Lack of secondary site Lack of inter-site bandwidth Existing controls and requirements for data moving

Mindset: The Rule 3 Different copies of data 2 Different media 1 of which is off site Addresses nearly any failure scenario Doesn’t lock-in any specific technology

#1 #1 Question: What’s the off-site requirement? This is the first question, turn it around and ask what does the technology demand? Off-site backups Replicated VMs Ready to go DR site 4 and 5 letter words:Cloud and Tape

Can Recovery = Production? The expectation is high today for performance When things go wrong, should performance be equal to production? How do we get there? Replicas, fast storage for backups, etc.

The replicated VM: Very fast and powerful Not new, but still very powerful recovery technique: Production-level performance Key advancements over the years. Veeam-specific: WAN Accelerated Failover plan Source from backup Remote proxy and metadata cache

Off-site backups to a second site Good way to address off-site availability: Move backups off-site

Off-site backups to a service provider Some new options for off-site backups with Veeam Cloud Connect Application-specific technology that combines compute &storage in a service provider cloud.

Cloud Connect for the Win! Very easy to find a service provider: Very specific options like where data is stored can be selected.

Can your array help you out? If you use Veeam and have any of these arrays you can enjoy an easy off-site recovery option: HP StoreVirtual (LeftHand) HP StoreServ (3PAR) NetApp(FAS Series) NetApp(V Series) Everyone wants to know the criteria for who is next for this Veeam support: 1.Must be a good storage technology 2.Must have good market share 3.Must have sales and marketing support from storage OEM

Tape for the Modern Era? Show of hands: Is tape still an priority in your availability strategy. If so, that’s OK. Portability and acquisition cost of tape can’t be beat.

Goal: Fully address off-site requirements So you’ve build the BEST Modern Data Center today, do you have what you need to meet your off-site requirements?
