  7. Replication and Backup • Disaster recovery continues to increase replication and tape backup needs • What is your timeframe to recover your application? • Replication significantly increase storage and network requirements • Tape Backups • Do you have the capacity? • What will be your legal requirements to store data?

  8. Overview of DoITT Open System Storage

  9. SAN: Reliability • 2 independent fabrics, providing at least two independent paths for a particular host to its data • Each fabric utilizes separate Brocade directors and separate Hitachi host access ports • No single point of failure • SAN subsystems are actively monitored on a 24x7x365 basis • Silkworm directors utilize Brocade’s FabricWatch monitoring software • As a backup system, Sun Management Center modules actively monitor each director and each frame

  10. SAN: Disaster Recovery • SAN fabrics span three sites utilizing a DWDM ring • Frame-to-frame replication utilizing Hitachi TrueCopy • SAN-attached Veritas Netbackup environment • Provides reliable and timely backup of hosts at MetroTech datacenter • Direct to tape backup/restore options for SAN-attached hosts • Multiple Sun servers in a clustered environment • StorageTek silo utilizing 16 SAN-attached 9940b drives and approximately 6000 tape cartridges

  11. SAN: Security • Built to be managed and monitored over IP networks • To minimize the risks, independent IP networks utilizing secure, independent switches have been configured at each site • Access via a firewalled bastion host • Within the Hitachi frames, storage allocation is handled via LUN masking • Any LUN masking configuration changes are subject to peer review within DoITT’s open systems group • Within the Brocade directors, storage access is handled via hardware-enforced WWN zoning
