  6. Where is your data coming from?

  7. FACT • - Business critical data growth is out of control • - Companies require low cost of management - maximum availability of data • - Managing the amount of data being generated is becoming impossible What’s New and Exciting? Data Intensive Application Servers - Platform Independent Lotus Notes SQL SAP/Oracle MS-Exchange Backup Exec or NetBackup

  8. Application Management • First targeted application is Exchange • Preparing to go to Beta with this product: • Majority of space inside the Exchange Information Stores is taken up with message attachments. • No tools exist today to verify this though. • Until now. • Product will allow administrators to move older message to secondary storage. • Administrator defines what attachments to take and when. • Attachments for v1 will only go to tape • v1 is integrated with BENT • Allows sharing of existing hardware between your backup application and this product. • Does not effect users functionality of Exchange/Outlook. • They still see attachments as if they were still their. • Integrity of message text is kept in check.

  9. Two parts to the Puzzle • Utility that interrogates the Information Store. • Public & Private databases • Application that manages this data to make Exchange more manageable

  10. Exchange Analyzer Tool Tool will separate your Exchange databases and gives a breakout of how much space is taken up by attachments and messages.

  11. Exchange Analyzer Tool The tool also breaks out the attachments by size and lets you know how many attachments are how big

Attachments Backup Data Exchange 5.x Servers

  15. Exchange Storage Management Suite • Version 1 cont. • Users never lose access to their data. • Smaller Information Stores result in quicker backups and recoveries of Exchange data. • All that exists in the message itself is a pointer to the data in storage. (Thus you do not need to recover the entire 20M .ppt file, just the 4k message it was attached to) • Reduce costs on purchase of new and more hard drive space and potential storage subsystems for Exchange. • V1 will work with tape only. • Looking at adding optical, DVD, CD etc. in future revs. • Provides support for Exchange v5.x

  16. What’s in Store for the Future? • Continue with the Storage Migrator products • Updates on UNIX & a Windows 2000 product • Application products will start to become more predominant • Exchange, Notes, Oracle, SQL, Informix, etc…
