2. 9/5/20152 Making Storage Smarter Fujifilm is the premier provider of quality tape media and storage intelligence Storage Intelligence is part of our DNA StorageIQ helps improve the overall tape experience Better performance from current systems Improve utilization of resources Ensure long term data protection Easier ongoing system support The goal is to overcome tapes inherent complexity and let you focus on best practices and data protection

3. 9/5/20153 ReadVerify Appliance (RVA) Fujifilm’s ReadVerify Appliance (RVA) provides a proactive method for monitoring and validating the integrity of tape media, tracking the performance and utilization of tape devices to provide comprehensive reports on the health of the overall backup environment. Maximize Tape Library Assets Complete view into the performance, utilization, and health of the tape library environment, providing visibility into the root cause of incomplete backups, unbalanced drive usage, and low performing assets. Minimize Data Risk By monitoring the health and integrity of tape drives and media, RVA provides a proactive indication of data at risk. Errors are tracked over the productive live of the component to provide clear metrics for corrective action to minimize data risk. Real-time Notification Enables proactive management and corrective action before failures occur. Data Recoverability Assurance The optional ArchiveVerify (AV) feature reduces the risk of data recovery failure through scheduled, automated data validation, thus minimizing data risk and assuring regulatory compliance. Seamless, Heterogeneous Integration RVA plugs directly into the SAN and begins monitoring immediately. Installation is agent-less, application agnostic, and heterogeneous. ReadVerify Appliance

4. 9/5/20154 Monitoring within the Cloud Stuck tapes High error rates Low performance – “Shoe Shining” Load balance and utilization of tape drives Duty cycle of media changer Unhealthy media or degrading drives? Tape usage over its life While contending with… Meet SLAs Manage capital and operating expenses Improve utilization of existing assets Mitigate risk of data loss Address corporate green initiatives Validate regulatory compliance With lower IT budgets, reduced staff, and cost-cutting initiatives, how do you …

5. 9/5/20155 Seamless, Heterogeneous Integration Non-intrusive, agent-less deployment Application agnostic Out-of-band of data path Monitor multiple libraries in a data center Independent fabrics Different library types Different drive types Real-time alerting – notification that backup may be in the process of failing Media and drive failure Under-utilized resources High error rates Proactively assesses the backup system’s tape drive and media performance, utilization, and health, over its effective life

6. 9/5/20156 Simple, Focused Issue Isolation View all libraries in data center from single web- based console Rapid navigation to critical issues Real-time analysis Libraries Drives Tapes Easy access to current reports and historical statistics

7. 9/5/20157 Maximize Tape Library Assets Utilization and performance Optimal drive allocation Resolve performance gaps Improved backup times Load balancing Rebalance assets to delay additional equipment purchase Identify under- or over- utilized assets Reduce backup windows Minimize premature wear on equipment reduce maintenance calls Remove unneeded assets, save maintenance costs

8. 9/5/20158 Minimize Data Risk Identify degrading drives and suspect media Drive–tape error correlation rapidly isolates degrading components Minimize diagnostic effort Lower costs by reducing tape wastage Identify over-utilized assets Minimize premature wear on equipment Reduce maintenance calls Isolate poor performance Minimize drive “shoe-shining” to mitigate data risk

9. 9/5/20159 Real-Time Notification Enables proactive action to prevent backup failures Generated real-time on tape environment issues: Libraries Drives Tapes Alerts individually enabled on per-library basis User-defined thresholds Email & SNMP support

10. 9/5/201510 Automated Reporting Reports by library or drive pool Analyze efficiency of application’s drive configurations System analytics Firmware revision Drive status Drive occupancy versus actual usage Selective email or log Each report has unique email distribution Reports accessible through UI

11. 9/5/201511 ArchiveVerify (AV) Feature Verifies crucial corporate assets are recoverable, before data is needed Automatically validates readability of media Validates all target media, over the entire length of tape Verification based on user-defined policies and schedules AV drives can be shared with backup/other applications Provides audit trail for regulatory compliance requirements

12. 9/5/201512 ArchiveVerify (AV) Feature Completely automated verification Verification schedule on user- defined policies Automatically loads selected media and verifies data can be read Returns library to known state for normal storage activity Seamless integration Uses existing library assets Deployed out-of-band to library controller and storage applications Independent of storage application No load on existing servers Automatically verifies the system’s ability to read tape media, over its effective life

13. 9/5/201513 Verification History and Reporting Automated reporting Media health Verification success/failure Total data on tape Verification history Automated alerts Verification failures Verification disruptions Administrators can reduce corporate risk and improve regulatory compliance by retiring tapes before they become completely unrecoverable.

14. 9/5/201514 Advanced Reporting External RVA database accessibility Expanded reporting via 3rd party applications Integrate with existing management applications Report templates available for major applications

15. 9/5/201515 Advanced Reporting Examples Drive-Tape Error Correlation Drives with high error rates across multiple tapes indicate that the drive may require maintenance. Tapes with high error rates across multiple drives indicate a suspect tape. Tape was only in this drive Tape Error rate is below limit if drive is removed from population Tape Error rate is reduced by more than 50% if drive is removed from population Removing drive not have a significant affect on tape error rates Tape Error rate is below limit if drive is removed from population (errors only occurred on read) Isolating suspect components enables proactive adjustments and minimizes data risk.

16. 9/5/201516 Advanced Reporting Examples Drive Performance Some drives used heavily, but with poor performance. Network capable of data transfers at native drive rate. Low performance causes the drives to “shoe-shine” – causing premature wear to media and drives and placing data at risk.

17. 9/5/201517 Advanced Reporting Examples Drive Occupancy versus Utilization High occupancy with low utilization indicates a tape could be stuck in a drive. Drive usage is unbalanced. Balancing drive usage reduces premature wear on over-used drives, and gets the most use out of existing assets.
