Veeam Backup & Replication and Nimble Storage CS-Series Speed up backup & recovery with flash-optimized storage Nicholas Schoonover Product Marketing Jason Acord Systems Engineer
Nimble Storage Company Snapshot • Founded in January 2008; started shipping in August 2010 • Headquartered in San Jose, CA; operations in US, Canada, Europe, and Asia • Over 500 employees Rapidly growing installed base of over 2,000 customers and 3,200 deployments Partner eco-system expanding quickly, with over 600 VARs Strong alliances with Cisco, VMware, Microsoft and Oracle Leadership team brings deep industry expertise and business building experience
Storage Architectures–The Engine Powering Storage Today’s Storage Architectures • Architected to use disk only; overlaying flash on top results in partial solution Purpose-built, Performance Hybrid • Designed from the ground up to leverage the best of flash and disk • Eliminates compromise between performance, capacity, and data management
Engineered for Efficiency 2-5x More Usable Capacity/$ 2-5x More Performance/$ • High capacity disk • Always-on compression • High ratio of usable to raw capacity • Responsive flash cache accelerates reads with no RAID overhead • Serialized writes eliminate need for high RPM spindles CAPACITY PERFORMANCE CASL DATA PROTECTION OPERATIONS Integrated Data Protection Operational Efficiency • Instant thin snapshots with no performance penalty • Retention for months, not days • WAN-efficient replication • Data sciences-based proactive support (InfoSight) • Cloud based monitoring • Predictive analytics–usage, growth • Peer Insights
Accelerating Applications with CASL SSD Cache DISK DYNAMIC CACHING: 50x FASTER READS UNIVERSAL COMPRESSION: 30-75% SAVINGS WRITE-OPTIMIZED LAYOUT: 100x FASTER WRITES • Variable-size blocks enable fast inline compression • Elimination of read-modify-write penalty allows compression of all applications • Cache populated intelligently on first write, instantly on cache miss • Metadata in cache accelerates all accesses • Guaranteed coalescing of random writes to sequential stripes; eliminates dependency on spindle speed • Coalesced writes to flash increase lifespan by 500% • 2-5x better performance / $ • 2-5x better capacity / $ • ~ 4x reduction in footprint, power and cooling
Nimble Storage CS-Series and ES1-Series Products Controller Storage Notes: 1. Effective capacity is usable capacity after no to 2x (or 50%) compression; typical range: 30% to 75%. 2. The CS420 model is available in CS420-X2 and CS420-X4 options only.
Scale To Fit with CASL SCALE-OUT CLUSTER SCALE CAPACITY SCALE COMPUTE/CACHE • Scale capacity alone using expansion shelves • Scale performance and capacity by adding nodes while managing centrally • Scale IOPS and reduce latency by scaling cache and/or compute Scale flexibly and non-disruptively at the lowest incremental cost.
What is Modern Data Protection? VM Recovery in minutes from backups that work Veeam Backup & Replication • Fast, reliable recovery…LOW RTOs • Hyper-V and VMware …1 console • Replicate VMs off-premise …Included • Deduplication, Compression …Included • Exchange & SharePoint recovery…Included • Everything … Included
vPower …Recover VMs in Minutes • Exclusive patented Veeam technology • Runs the VM directly from the backup file • Publishes the contents of the backup file as a datastore a host can connect to “This is why I love Veeam.They take all the virtualization technology pieces on the table andput them together into a functioning business solution.” – Brett WestoverIT AdministratorTherapeutic Research Center

Return on investment • Reduce costs for data protection • Eliminate downtime • Prolonged recoveries (for example, rebuild vs. restore, instant recovery) • Failed recoveries • Maximize server consolidation and savings: • Less Equipment • Less Power • Less cooling • Less floor space • Less Management • Keep your job (and your sanity): priceless ∙
Challenges • Business challenges • Consolidating demanding applications such as Exchange, SQL, and SharePoint increases the need for higher storage performance • Infrequent backups or none at all, leaving important business data unprotected • Cost-prohibitive Disaster Recovery solutions • Technical challenges • Long backup windows impacting availability of business-critical applications and services • Complex, time-consuming, and costly to manage mixed-environment backups • Limited array capacity preventing more frequent RPO’s
Joint Solution Overview • Nimble’shigh-performance storage is a perfect complement to Veeam Backup & Replication • Cost-effectively retain months’ worth of snapshots on a single Nimble array, with restores performed in seconds • Use Veeam to archive backups for longer retention periods, while retaining flexible and granular recovery options • Replicate for disaster recovery protection • Reduce costs and protect virtualization investments while simplifying their backup process and environment
Veeam and Nimble Storage • Veeam and Nimble provide an optimized, end-to-end storage and data protection solution for virtual environments providing: • Flash-optimized hybrid storage performance • Instant backups and recovery • Capacity efficiency with compression and backup de-duplication • WAN-efficient replication for offsite DR • Lower costs than traditional solutions • Ideal for performance-intensive applications • Highly dense Microsoft Exchange deployments with item-level recovery • Tackle VDI boot & login storms while maintaining data protection per VM, desktop, file or application item
Technical details • Configuration • No additional software updates to install • Supported versions • All CS-Series arrays • Veeam Backup & Replication • iSCSI SAN
Best practices • Backup • Nimble for primary storage and short to mid-term snapshots • Veeam for longer term archival backup • Repurpose legacy storage as backup target • Restoration • Nimble for quick restoration within 60-90 days • Veeam for item-level recovery and long-term restoration
