Optimized Duplication (single domain, multiple sites, multiple copies of backup sets in one or more NBU catalogs)
Optimized Synthetic Backups, NBU Accelerator and Granular Recovery
Multiple retention periods through NetBackup storage lifecycle policies
Ultimate flexibility when it comes to leveraging customer SAN and LAN environments – protect the customer investment

9. Symantec OST Auto Image Replication Support
Symantec OST Auto Image Replication (AIR) is used to replicate backup images between multiple NetBackup domains or NetBackup masters, often across various geographical sites, to improve disaster recovery 
Replication is controlled by NetBackup but executed by HPP
Leverages HPP built-in replication capabilities including one-to-one and many-to-one replication
Automatic catalog management at primary and remote sites
Leverages deduplication to replicate only unique data between Protection Platform systems, reducing impact on the network
Protection Platform has chosen to support OST A.I.R. to support mutli- domain Netbackup environments, typical in Enterprise environments. Opt_Dup, is for single domain environments and will be supported at a later date.

11. Symantec OST Optimized Duplication Support
Symantec OST Optimized Duplication (Opt Dup) is used to duplicate backup images within a single NetBackup domain from 1 OST device (such as Protection Platform PBBA) to another
NetBackup manages the process, which is executed by Protection Platform
NetBackup receives the file metadata so it can update the catalogs
Leverages deduplication to replicate only unique data between the HPP devices to reduce the impact on the network between the sites
Protection Platform has chosen to support OST A.I.R. to support mutli- domain Netbackup environments, typical in Enterprise environments. Opt_Dup, is for single domain environments and will be supported at a later date.

Features

Benefits
Utilizes Protection Platform replication technology to transfer data
Only replicates unique data to lower impact on network
Reduces workload on the media server
Faster and more efficient duplication
Need to have backups of catalog

13. Support for Optimized Synthetic Backups
Symantec Optimized Synthetic Backup is used to “synthesize” a full backup from a combination of previous full and incremental backups
Eliminates the need to perform full backups on client systems
Client CPU and memory resources are used minimally
Reduces network bandwidth and storage requirements
Full data sets are not moved over network
Leverages Protection Platform deduplication to minimizes storage used
Lowers risk and improves business RPO
More frequent backups means less potential for data loss
Shorter backups allow multiple backups per day (approaching CDP)

14. Why Use Optimized Synthetic Backups?
Creates a restore-ready full backup
No “FULL+INC+INC+INC” path to recovery
Faster recovery time improves RTO
Backups are smaller and take less time
Improves time to safety (local copy)
Backups can be performed more often
More restore points improves RPO
Eliminates operator errors
Always restores from latest backup
Less Risk
Simpler administration
Less Time
Less data to move
More Agile
More restore points

15. Symantec Optimized Synthetic Backups

Incremental Backups
Lightning-Fast Backups!
Load Balanced Media Servers
Todays traditional synthetic full is created by pulling data through the media server then writing the new full image back to the device.
Optimized Synthetic
Optimized synthetics are created immediately by the backup appliance. NetBackup instructs which parts of previous backups to use. Backup appliance creates a pointer map – no data movement required

16. Symantec Appliance Integration via OST
Protection Platform OST plugin for Symantec NetBackup appliances
Allows a Symantec NetBackup 5200 or appliance to be configured as media server with Protection Platform as backend storage

18. Protection Platform & Symantec versus the Competition

19. Where HPP and NBU Provide Superior Value
Organizations with large amounts of data
Scalable performance that can backup tens (or hundreds) of terabytes per day
Large database environments
High speed multiplexed database backups with dedupe and rapid restores
Organizations experiencing rapid and/or significant data growth
Scalable capacity to grow as their data volumes increase over time
Transitioning from traditional Symantec NetBackup to OST
Simultaneous support for both NetBackup OST and traditional NetBackup with VTL
Ability to offsite critical data to DR data center via OST AIR or Opt Dup
Organizations supporting or transitioning between multiple backup applications
Simultaneous support for more than 1 backup application
Adjust storage allocation non-disruptively, on an as-needed basis

20. Advantages Over Data Domain
Scalability advantages
Data Domain fixed and limited capabilities leads to appliance sprawl, rip-and-replace upgrades and unpredictable costs
Protection Platform allows pay-as-you-grow scalability of both performance and capacity in a single system
Performance advantages
Inline deduplication is a bottleneck that slows backup speeds and impacts the ability to reliably meet backup windows and restore SLAs
HPP provides predictable high-speed backup and restore performance, and forward referencing means no rehydration performance penalty impacting restores from the last backup

21. More Advantages Over Data Domain
Protection Platform’s intelligent content aware deduplication technology understands different data types
Turns off deduplication for compressed, encrypted, multiplexed, multi-streamed, structured, or specific clients that would not benefit from deduplication
Data Domain’s unintelligent hashing algorithm treats all data the same
Performing deduplication on unsuitable data causes low and unpredictable performance
Leads to system sprawl, increased management complexity, and greater cost

22. Still More Advantages Over Data Domain
Data Domain lacks detailed reporting impacting the administrator and management’s ability to be able to produce
Detailed reports by capacity, client, policy, day, occupancy
Detailed reports for replication
Protection Platform intuitive GUI and superior reporting capabilities increases management efficiency

23. Advantages Over IBM® Tivoli Storage Manager
TSM backup servers are monolithic: No secondary media servers are supported, which limits both scalability and the ability to balance workloads
TSM cannot extend its resources into additional sites. With NetBackup, media servers can be put in multiple sites and manage optimized movement of backup images between them. Recovery is direct from any media server
TSM lacks any intra domain automation. Symantec OST AIR provides the ability to directly move data efficiently between domains
TSM requires ongoing reclamation and collocation. NetBackup full, incremental, differential, and synthetic backup capabilities ensure that backup data is regularly stored in a full recovery representation for rapid restoration

24. More Advantages Over TSM
Architecture − NetBackup delivers data protection at many sites, all under the control of a single master server leveraging remote media servers. This approach enables scale, load balancing and flexibility: backup everywhere and restore anywhere
Flexible deduplication options – NetBackup provides client, media server, and target deduplication for the data center, remote office and virtual environments
OST − OpenStorage allows NetBackup to manage backup copies independently and leverage advanced features of storage subsystems (like Protection Platform)
Superior protection for VMware and Hyper-V environments − provides policy-based automation for the protection of virtual machines leveraging the latest advanced API features from VMware and Microsoft. 

25. Positioning HPP and NBU Appliances
NetBackup appliances are integrated backup devices (combined backup server, software and storage)
Protection Platform is a target dedupe device attached to a backup server. Some NBU appliances can also use HPP as a target
Protection Platform scales far beyond NBU appliances (up to 4PBs). Lots of consolidation opportunity
Protection Platform supports multiple backup servers and applications simultaneously
Many additional factors dictate the sale of Protection Platform appliances versus NBU appliances
