  1. StorageWorks Update Virtual Tape SolutionsAll-in-One Storage Systems 7/10/2006

  2. Two-stage backup solutions Virtual Tape Solutions

  3. Why where is a need for virtual tape Problems: • Backups are exceeding the backup window • Need faster restores • Backup process is not reliable Solutions today: • Add more tape drives • Use replication in the array (snaps/clones) • Use disk as a target for the backup application

  4. HP StorageWorks Multi-Level Data Protection Snap and Clone Technology(Business Copy) • “Instant” volume recovery • Leverages High Availability investment Write – to – disk (Data Protector 5.5) Virtual Tape(Virtual Library System) • Enhanced performance • Enhanced reliability • Seamless integration Increasing performanceincreasing cost of acquisition Tape (tape drives, tape automation) • Basic Backup and Recovery Functions • Offsite vaulting • Best protection against malicious intent (hackers & viruses)

  5. how it worksVirtual Tape technology host 1 host 2 Local or shared storage Virtual Tape device host 3 host n • Each host writes to a virtual drive or multiple virtual drives just as if it were a library • All transfers are controlled by backup software • Transfer to tape occurs through backup server Tape Copy server

  6. how it worksWrite-to-Disk technology host 1 host 2 Local or shared storage host 3 Low-cost array LUN 1 host n LUN 2 LUN 3 • Each host writes to its own file system on the low-cost array • All file transfers are controlled by backup software • Transfer to tape occurs through server that sent data LUN n Tape

  7. HP Comparison of Write-to-Disk and Virtual Tape

  8. HP 6000 Virtual Library System HP 1000i Virtual Library System Virtual Library Systems Disk-based backup that emulates HP tape drives and libraries • Dramatically improves backup performance • Integrates seamlessly into current infrastructure • Increases backup performance • Improves single-file recovery time • Certified with leading backup applications

  9. HP StorageWorks6000 Virtual Library System Target application: • SAN environments with multiple slow hosts

  10. The VLS6000 is… Simple • Seamless integration into existing environments • Intuitive GUI allows library provisioning in under 5 minutes • No array management required • Eliminates the complexities of sharing tape drives in a SAN • Requires fewer physical tape drives

  11. The VLS6000 is… Fast • Maximizes the number of simultaneous backup jobs, thus reducing the total backup window • Ability to receive many data streams at the same time • Minimizes the time it takes to restore single files • Recent backups kept on disk for restore and recovery • Fast single-file restore without the need for media loading or positioning Dramatically improves backup performance!

  12. The VLS6000 is… Scalable • Useable capacities ranging from 2.5 to 70 TB • Increase both performance and capacity by adding capacity bundles

  13. Step 1 Back up to the VLS6000 Step 2 Migrate from the VLS6000 to physical tape Virtual tape typical solution Benefits: • Integrates seamlessly into current infrastructure • Increased backup performance for slow SAN servers • Improved single-file recovery time Backup server Backup server Backup server LAN Backup server SAN VLS6000 Other SAN servers Storage devices for SAN servers Tape Library

  14. VLS6000 specifications

  15. HP StorageWorks1000i Virtual Library System Target application: • Smaller businesses or remote/branch offices of larger business where tape drives or autoloaders are currently used for backup

  16. VLS1002i Key features: • Utilizes existing backup software applications to automate the backup process • Improves backup performance by allowing multiple servers to back up to a single storage device simultaneously • Dramatically improves restore performance from hours to minutes compared to tape • Consolidates distributed backups onto a single LAN-based device for easier storage management • Employs disk-based backup, which minimizes tape media management issues and costs associated with daily backup to tape

  17. Typical VLS1000i solution for consolidation • Better reliability and greater control over backup process – frees up IT resources for other critical tasks • Employs a single tape device to meet long-term data retention needs, while minimizing media management issues and costs • Leverages existing ethernet network and backup software

  18. VLS1000i specifications

  19. The VLS1000i is… • Exceptionally easy to install and use compared to other disk-based backup devices • Preconfigured RAID – no disk configuration required • Dedicated for backup – no need to manage primary and backup storage in one device • No system maintenance required – no security patching, virus checking, defragging • Built on a solid hardware platform: ProLiant servers • Designed for 24x7 operation • Hot-swap hard drives with hardware-based RAID5 data protection

  20. Transition Slide HP StorageWorksAll-in-One Storage Systems One-of-a-kind network storage products designed to meet the unique needs of SMB customers; combining shared application server storage (iSCSI SAN), a Windows file server (NAS), data protection, and management software. Unbelievably simple. Uniquely affordable. Unquestionably reliable.

  21. Application view Clients • Mail stores • Databases • File shares Exchange SQL Server File Servers IT works at the application level Customer challenges Application servers running out of capacity… Need additional file servers to meet end-user demands…

  22. JBOD Growth options can be limited… Customer challenges Servers proliferate. Direct attached storage (DAS) wastes time and money while many network storage options are outside the reach of most SMBs Clients Exchange DAS can be difficult to manage and protect… SQL Server File Servers Fibre Channel SAN Network storage can require training, infrastructure, and storage expertise (virtual arrays, LUNs, RAID, stripe sets, etc…)

  23. HP All-in-One Storage Systems Customer benefits One-of-a-kind network storage products designed to meet the unique needs of SMB customers; combining shared application server storage (iSCSI SAN), a Windows file server (NAS), data protection, and management software. • Unbelievably Simple • Uniquely Affordable • Unquestioningly Reliable

  24. HP All-in-One Storage • Application data storage • File serving for clients • Integrated data protection • Simple, application-centric storage management HP All-in-One Storage Systems HP All-in-One Storage Systems Clients Public LAN Exchange File Sharing (CIFS or NFS) Application Sub-Net SQL Server AiO600 Block Access (iSCSI SAN) Tape backup Snapshots

  25. All-in-One Storage Manager Customer benefits A radical breakthrough in simplicity which eliminates the barriers to network storage

  26. HP All-in-One Storage Manager Unbelievably simple Breakthrough simplicity that manages all functions in a single interface that hides storage complexity. Instead, storage is presented in terms of application usage; enabling easy management, protection, and growth. Eliminates the barriers to network storage! Radically simple: View storage usage in application terms: Exchange, SQL, File Shares, User-defined data... Worry free storage: Set warning thresholds and receive e-mail alerts when applications are running out of capacity. Disruption free growth: Easily allocate more space to specific applications without impacting end-users. Data protection with no backup window: Setup application aware snapshot and backup policies by data type and easily recover with the click of a mouse.

  27. 1) Launch Exchange Migration Tool and select an Exchange Server 2) Select the storage group and mail stores to migrate. 3) “Best Practice” configuration is automatically created. 4) Set snapshot and backup data protection policies 5) Press “Finish”! All storage tasks are executed behind the scenes HP All-in-One Storage Manager Unbelievably simple “Its like having a storage expert in the box” – Automated data migration and setup wizards make the move to network storage a quick and painless experience. ‘Best practice’ logic ensures that storage is setup for optimal performance.
