  1. “How do I back all this up?” Confidential

  2. Subtle VMWare Facts We Leverage • Many Virtual Systems – Born From One Image – In most data centers dozens or hundreds of virtual machines are often created from a handful of gold images. This equates to segment redundancy. • VMWare Can be Difficult to Backup – Finite ESX host resources limit overall backup systemic bandwidth. Sequencing backup groups take more time – expands backup window. • Virtual Machines are Very Portable – Entire systems and their application data are encapsulated in 2 or 3 tangible files. • VMWare is a Great Customer and Partner – Feedback at VMWorld indicates they are seeking proactive efficient solutions to close the gap on Virtual Environment Data Protection. Confidential

  3. VMWare ESX3 Consolidated Back-up • Centralized file level back-ups *no agents* on VMs Confidential

  4. “Data Domain – Gee, is this faster than tape?” • File or DR level VM backup/restore done in a fraction the time required for tape • Typical backup speeds exceeding 400GB/Hour to a single system • Data Domain scales to multi-terabyte/Hour performance Confidential

  5. Backing Up VMware to Data Domain Confidential

  6. CommVault’s View – VMWare Data Protection Confidential

  7. “…is he still talking..?” - Summary Concepts • Data Domain enables NAS, (CIFS, NFS) NDMP & VTL backup targets for all virtualized applications • Drops into existing enterprise backup architectures • Works with Virtualized and Non-Virtualized environments • In 80/20 data centers, centralized capacity optimization provides single instance store across all applications and systems, virtual or actual • Back-up VMs to DDR with agent, or service console level • Choose to place an agent on critical VMs for file level restore • Choose to place an agent on the service console as well • Back-up all to same DDRs and watch compression happen • Consolidated back-ups sent from proxy to DDR • If you prefer an agent free virtual machine… • Global Rule: all data is compared to all other data in the DDR • Replicate all or some to anywhere, whenever, and back • DR, test, development, virtual application migration Confidential
