11. Dynamic deduplication – retain up to 50x more backup data on the same disk

12. Dynamic deduplicaiton 1st backupnth backup before deduplication nth backup afterdeduplication What is it and how does it work? • Data deduplication compares blocks of data being written to the backup device with data blocks previously stored on the device. • If duplicate data is found, a pointer is established to the original data, rather than storing the duplicate data sets. This removes, or “deduplicates,” the redundant blocks. • For normal business data sets, the following deduplication ratio’s might be expected after a period of more than 3 months: • 20:1 – daily incremental/weekly full backups • 50:1 – daily full backups HP Dynamic deduplication cleverly eliminates duplicate data to reduce the amount of backup data to be stored on disk by up to 50x HP Restricted - For HP and Channel Partner Internal Use. May be shared with select customers under NDA.

13. Dynamic deduplication example Backing up a 1 TB file server • Retention policy • 1 week, daily incremental backups (5) • 6 months, weekly full backups (25) • Data parameters • Data compression rate = 2:1 • Daily change rate = 1% (10% of data in 10% of files) <1.25 TB of disk backup = 6 months of data retention with deduplication 1.25 TB of disk backup = only two weeks of data retention normally ~11:1 reduction in data stored HP Restricted - For HP and Channel Partner Internal Use. May be shared with select customers under NDA.

14. Dynamic deduplicaiton What are the benefits? • Retain up to 50x more backup data on the same disk • Allows longer retention of backup data on disk • Faster data recovery – data is available on disk for longer periods of time enabling fast recovery of lost or corrupt files from multiple backup points for improved service levels • More efficient storage utilization – reduces cost per gigabyte for backup • Deduplication does not increase the capacity of your disk, but it will reduce the capacity of your backup over time * Actual de-duplication ratio’s depend on the type of data and retention period HP Restricted - For HP and Channel Partner Internal Use. May be shared with select customers under NDA.

15. Who needs HP StorageWorks D2D2500 Backup Systems?

16. Storage trends for SMBs • IT spending is growing faster for SMBs than for larger enterprise organizations • Top SMB driver for “planned spending” on additional storage capacity over the next year: Data protection/disaster recovery • Top SMB storage management challenge: Improving data availability and recovery • More than 25% of SMB organizations consider backup consolidation a top priority for SAN infrastructure spending • Top two SMB uses for iSCSI storage: production storage and disk-based backup Source: IDC, “U.S. SMB Storage 2006,” March 2006 HP Restricted - For HP and Channel Partner Internal Use. May be shared with select customers under NDA.

17. Disk vs. Tape But why choose when you can combine the best of both worlds? Up to now, the choice has been...

18. The unique value of HP D2D2500 Backup Systems • Automates the backup process • No manual labor required for daily backups to disk – especially good for businesses or remote offices with limited IT resources • Lower risk of human error – backups happen when they should, day in and day out • Shorter backup window – backs up multiple servers simultaneously • Makes it easy to restore lost data quickly • Online access to up to 50x more backup data – lost files restored in minutes, not hours • Less downtime – improves overall business productivity • Dependable disk-based backup - hardware RAID 5 (D2D2500) • Consolidates the backup of multiple servers • Single disk-based device – removes the need for multiple direct-attached backup devices... and the management overhead that goes with them • Robust disk-to-disk-to-tape (D2D2T) solution – offload to an LTO Ultrium tape drive for offsite storage or long-term archiving, copy to tape can be scheduled automatically • Browser-based management – monitor your backup device from anywhere at anytime HP Restricted - For HP and Channel Partner Internal Use. May be shared with select customers under NDA.

19. Why would you need the HP StorageWorks D2D Backup System? • Enhanced data protection wherever you start from • Currently using disk-based backup when… • Disk storage capacity limit is reached • More robust data protection solutions are required – disk-to-disk-to-tape (D2D2T) • Data centre space challenges require rack-able solutions • Currently using direct-attach disk-to-tape when… • Manual backup puts too much strain on IT resources • Restoring lost data takes too long and makes downtime a serious issue • Backup reliability hinders operational effectiveness • For remote offices when… • Little or no IT resources are available • You depend on the backup to work as scheduled HP Restricted - For HP and Channel Partner Internal Use. May be shared with select customers under NDA.
