  1. EMC NetWorker 7.3 Overview of What is New in 7.3 November 2005

  2. EMC NetWorker benefits • High-performance enterprise-data protection • Faster data recovery with Backup-to-disk • Instant data protection with integrated Snapshot management • Broad range of supported platforms, applications, and options • Industry Leading service and support • Consolidate, Centralize and Automate Backup and Recovery Lower costs Reduce risk Protect information Flexibility

  3. Introducing NetWorker 7.3 • Security • New backup file encryption • Improved authentication, auditing and security management • Simplicity • Improved usability • New Graphical User Interface • Built in advanced reporting • Improved Configuration Wizards • Consistent look and feel across platforms • Improvements for Internationalization • Speed • Enhanced Backup-to-Disk Flexibility • Multiple retention policy support • Share targets between backup and media servers • Faster recovery with concurrent restore operations

  4. Data Encryption and Authentication • New encryption directive • 256-bit AES from open SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) • Encrypt data at client for secure transmission “over the wire” • Data encrypted on tape/disk • Safeguard data in “tape falling off the truck” scenario • Redesigned authentication mechanism • Ensure that systems and users are who they say they are • Enhanced management • Restricted access to authentication setup and configuration • Administrator selection of authentication methods

  5. New NetWorker User Interface • Redesigned NetWorker Management Console (NMC) • Updated and integrated with NetWorker 7.3 • Web-enabled management • Single point for Administration, Monitoring and Reporting • Manage multiple NetWorker Servers • Centralize device management • Intuitive operations and navigation • Role-based access security with unique user login/password • Activity auditing reports

  6. New “look and feel” with updated icons & layout Full integration with NetWorker install Improved backup configuration workflow and automation Customizable interface Device configuration wizard Easy operation monitoring New drive utilization report Concurrent tape library actions Backup saveset query Easy launch of NetWorker recover applications and wizards Integrated Retrospect backup server monitoring • Deliver an Improved User Experience Interface Enhancements

  7. Monitoring and Configuration

  8. Backup Client Details

  9. Customizable Views

  10. Backup Save Set Query

  11. Backup Save Set Query

  12. Library and Device Configuration Wizard

  13. Built-in Reporting

  14. Built-in Reporting

  15. Configurable success/failure thresholds for completion reports Eliminate fire drills investigating backups successful with acceptable exceptions NetWorker savegroup: (alert) Default completed, total 5 client(s) 1 Failed 1 succeeded with warning(s) 3 Succeeded Failed: hansel Succeeded with warnings: arthur Succeeded: aragon, dev-nwserv, luigi Start time: Wed Jan 22 15:07:52 2005 End time: Wed Jan 22 21:54:34 2005 --- Unsuccessful Save Sets --- * hansel:/usr (information) 1 retry attempted * hansel:/usr (critical) Connection refused * hansel:/space (information) 1 retry attempted * hansel:/space (critical) Connection refused Enhanced Saveset Completion Reporting

  16. Internationalization (I18N) for Client File Index • Ensure access to data on international platforms • Backup, browse and restore from user metadata across OSs for any supported locale • Without I18N support, user metadata is subject to error due to incorrect assumptions about language • Accurate index viewing & browsing with proper locale setting and suitable fonts

  17. Recovery workflow with 7.3 Node A data to node B LAN Recover Backup Storage Node Affinity List for Recovery • Faster, more flexible recovery performance • New recover affinity list in the client resource • Directed recovery via SAN vs. LAN by targeting destination Storage Node instead of source Recovery workflow pre- 7.3 Node A data to node B LAN Recover SN A SN A Backup

  18. Concurrent Restore from Disk • Recover multiple savesets from disk concurrently • Faster restore for improved RTO achievement Restore Restore Restore

  19. B2D Clone Unique Clone Retention Policies • Set any number of retention policies for backup clones • Flexibility in retention policy definition • Define media pool retention policies in user interface • Save/clone to pools to set a variety of retention policies for the same savesets on different media • Define policies via command line • Set unique save set retention periods apart from pool or client resource retention as desired 3-years 30-days

  20. Disk Backup Target Sharing Storage Nodes NAS • Simultaneous sharing of NAS backup disk with Backup Server and Storage Nodes for backup and recovery • Must be same OS • Manual sharing of SAN backup disk for backup and recovery • Must occur at different times • Must be same OS Win Win LAN Backup server Win LAN Backup server Storage Nodes Sun Sun Sun SAN

  21. Additional Backup-to-disk Improvements • Select block size for backup disk Advanced File Type Devices (AFTD) with NSR_DEV_BLOCK_SIZE_ADV_FILE variable • Match configuration to data characteristics to increase backup and recovery performance

  22. 7.3 features transparent to the user • Scalability improvements for media database to accommodate large backup-to-disk records • SCSI reserve / release for devices • More reliable drive sharing • Redesigned library configuration (nsrjb) for scalability and better use of NetWorker resources • New subscribe model eliminates constant polling of NetWorker server by application servers • Infrastructure established in client software to enable future push of software updates

  23. NetWorker 7.3 extends OS support • Support for extended file attributes on Solaris 9 and 10 • Support for NetWorker Server and Storage Node on Solaris 10 on Opteron (64-bit AMD) • 64-bit NetWorker binaries for 64-bit Linux on EM64T and AMD64 • Support for server and Storage Node for 2.6 Linux kernel (RHES 4 and SLES 9) • Support for Mac OS v 10.4 aka Tiger • Support for 64-bit Windows 2003 on EM64T and AMD64

  24. Availability Timeline • NetWorker 7.3 pre-announcement at Storage Networking World in Orlando on October 24th • Emphasis of EMC’s commitment to advanced data protection • General Availability Targeted for End of December 2005 Oct ‘05 Dec ‘05 Q1 ‘06 Nov ‘05 • SNW Announcement • General Availability
