Data Replication Strategies The Bane of Business Disruption Stop production! It’s backup time
Executive Summary Do not risk conducting business without a Business Continuation Plan… …employing modern data replication technology you do not need to stop business processing to back up data or to install the additional disk storage.
Overview • What is Data Replication Technology? • Why is it important? • How and when did it come about? • How can we use it? • The Benefits…
What Is Data Replication Technology? • Software and hardware for making additional copies of existing data…to improve data availability.
Why is Data Replication Important? • Data Replication is a solution for protection against loss… • Data Replication is key to improving data availability for Business Continuance.
How Improve Data Availability? • Development and Testing • “Disposable” Copy for experimenting • Improve Production Processing • “Duplicate” Copy for parallel access • Business Protection / Business Continuance • “Backup” Copy as insurance against loss
Business Continuation…More than Disaster Recovery • Apply Basic Principles • Consider e-Business Requirements • 24x7x365 Availability • Non-Stop Operations • Employ Instant technology
Where Does the Pressure Come From? “e-Business extends direct consumer access to existing real-time business systems”
You Don’t Need A Disaster To Have A Disruption! • Natural Disasters • Site Destruction/Disruption • Fires, Power and Communications Failure • Mechanical Equipment Failure • Processor, Disk and Network Hardware • Software Failure • Operating System and Application • Human Error • One Third of All Data Loss is Caused by Human Error • Scheduled downtime… • Backup, New Equipment…
How Much Does Disruption Cost? • Lost opportunity… • Securities Trading $6.5 million per hr • Intel Web Site Sales $275,000 per hr • Cable Home Shopping $113,000 per hr • Airline Reservations $ 89,000 per hr • Cellular Service Activation $ 41,000 per hr • Fraud Exposure… Credit Cards $2.6 million per hr
WHERE IS THE DATA?Modern disk storage… Forty-five years old Thirty-eight years old Thirty years old Twenty-five years old
A Forty-Five Year Old Invention? September 13, 1956, the first RAMAC
Thirty-Eight Year Old Interconnections and a Thirty Year Old Controller..
Innovation Continued…! • Disk storage capacity grew through the 1970s and 80s from 10 MBs to 100 MBs to 1000 MBs, gigabytes and terabytes…
ATwenty-Five Year Old Scheme Raid Structures • 1978 IBM patent for Redundant Arrays of Independent Disks. • 1987 University of California at Berkeley “Inexpensive” Disks
Software Solutions AutomatedBACKUP AND RECOVERY • Three approaches to backup • Two reduce time by limiting the amount of data. • One automates the solution.

How Can Data Replication be Useful? Data Replication is a strategic technology, to eliminate… • Long interruptions for backup... • Unacceptable recovery times… • Production delays to copy data… • Hard downtime to install new disks…
Impediments to Data Replication Being Useful • Backup not on removable media • Point-in-time hardware produce exact duplicates • MVS does not allow duplicates online • Conventional backup can not read offline volumes • Re-labeling to bring volumes online destroys catalog access to data and means special restore procedures
Hardware and SoftwareWorking Together • Non-Disruptive e-Business Backup • Instant e-Business Recovery • Backup/Restore Data Reduction • Outboard/Host-Less Data Movement • Install Disk Storage w/ no downtime • Non-Disruptive Disk Load Balancing It's not magic, we do it with mirrors !
Automate e-Business Protection INSTANT Technology Software • Identify change files—Manage Backup Selection • Use InstantTechnology Point-in-Time Disk Backup • Provide Non-Disruptive Tape Backup • Interface with Tape Management Systems • Keep familiar offsite DR procedures the same • Provide InstantRestore for onsite auto recovery
INSTANT INCREMENTAL A Backup Solution with Greater Savings • Reduce Business Disruption with SnapShot, TimeFinder, ShadowImage or FlashCopy • INSTANT Incremental is non-disruptive • Non-Disruptive incremental cut tape usage half to 75%… Only backup what is changed
INSTANT INCREMENTALis Easy! • Use InstantTechnology point-in-time disk backup • Record location of the InstantTechnology Backup- Restores are then immediately available • Non-Disruptively dump to tape from the InstantTechnology point-in-time disk backup …after the non-disruptive tape backup keep the InstantTechnology Backup disk for InstantRestore
