Make your numbers and build your pipeline Second Sales StrategyAttack the VMware environments
Opportunity Identification Questions to ask: • Do you use VMware virtual machines as production servers? • By 2012, most x86 server workloads will be running in VMs • Do you need to improve the protection of data in virtual servers? • Traditional in-guest backup solutions drag down the performance of virtual servers and may not provide adequate Recovery Point Objectives for more critical data • Do you need to improve the recoverability of virtual server data? • Can you easily recover an individual file, a disk volume or an entire virtual machine? • Would you like to recover disk volumes within a couple of minutes? Improve Service Reduce Costs Mitigate Risks
Backup used to be so easy • Install a backup agent on production server, schedule the backup, copy the data periodically to the backup server Production Servers A A A A A Backup Server Tiered Storage
It’s not so easy anymore • Proliferation of different system platforms, applications, physical locations all with different service level requirements • Lots of different things can go wrong, all requiring different recovery capabilities • Need to balance the needs of the business (data availability, resiliency) against the needs of the business (costs, resources, system availability)
Virtual server environments have changed the game • Virtual machines take advantage of the growth in processor power, memory and I/O • The computers get bigger, but the application workloads have remained flat • Virtual machines can be created very quickly • Minutes to provision, rather than weeks to request, procure, install and test • Tremendous savings in hardware, power/cooling, floor space and management costs • VMs enable new levels of service management and new delivery models • Quickly create new servers for application development and testing, special projects, periodic workflows or to expand capacity on demand • Virtual servers are a basic component of public and private cloud infrastructures
VMs have made data and storage management more complex • Data continues to grow at unprecedented rates, across all industries • Sever virtualization does not reduce the data • When a virtual server is de-commissioned or moved, what happens to its data, and the storage capacity that it consumed? • How do you manage data management processes in virtual environments? • Backup / Restore • Disaster Recovery • Data Lifecycle Management
Traditional in-guest backup and recovery model • Install a backup agent in the guest OS, just like a physical server • Run and manage backups just like in a physical server environment • Downside: deploying, managing, maintaining ‘backup agent sprawl’ • Downside: can put a serious drain on processor, memory, I/O resources • From running multiple backups at once; file system scans during incremental backups; etc. VMware ESX / ESXi Server Hypervisor Virtual Machines A A A A A A A A Backup Server Virtual Disk Volumes Tiered Storage
VMware Consolidated Backup (VCB)VMware’s first approach to offload backups from VMs • Snapshots of the VMs are taken by the Hypervisor and sent to a Proxy Server, which is then backed up by the Backup Server • Downside: requires more hardware (server and storage) • Downside: multi-step recovery through the Proxy Server VMware ESX / ESXi Server VCB API Backup Server Hypervisor A Virtual Machines Proxy Server Virtual Disk Volumes
The new approach: VMware vStorage APIs for Data Protection • Data is accessed directly from the VM storage and passed directly to the backup server (single hop, data is not stored on the vStorage Server) • Changed Block Tracking allows incremental backups (with periodic fulls) without forcing a scan of the guest OS file system VMware ESX / ESXi Server vStorage API (VADP) Backup Server Hypervisor A Virtual Machines vStorage Server Virtual Disk Volumes
The new approach: VMware vStorage APIs for Data Protection • Data is accessed directly from the VM storage and passed directly to the backup server (single hop, data is not stored on the vStorage Server) • Changed Block Tracking allows incremental backups (with periodic fulls) without forcing a scan of the guest OS file system • The vStorage Server can be a virtual machine – no additional HW needed VMware ESX / ESXi Server Backup Server Hypervisor VADP Virtual Machines A Virtual Disk Volumes
Tivoli Storage Manager for Virtual Environments - Summary • Advanced data protection for VMware ESX and ESXi servers • Leverages vStorage APIs for Data Protection (VADP) • Non-disruptive, single-pass, block-level backup • Flexible recovery options: file, volume, VM image • Near-instant restore of files and disk volumes (Windows and Linux) • No additional hardware required • Simplified agent management – one agent supports multiple VMs • Automated discovery of new VMs • Support for LAN-free data transfer from the VMware server’s storage to the backup server —preserving bandwidth for other uses • Integrated with Tivoli Storage Manager for: • Unmatched scalability – manage up to 2 billion objects in a single TSM Server • Unified Recovery Management • Built-in data reduction / data deduplication • Policy-based tiered storage / data lifecycle management The information on the new product is intended to outline our general product direction and it should not be relied on in making a purchasing decision.
