  1. Delivering Storage Networking (SAN) Solutionswith VERITAS Evolving to the Next Generation of Enterprise Storage Management Robin Purohit Director of Product Management,SAN

  2. Agenda • SAN Promises and Challenges • Deploying First Generation SANs • SAN Enabled VERITAS Software Products • VERITAS & SAN : The Next Generation • VERITAS SAN Roadmap

  3. SAN Promises and Challenges

  4. FS FS SANs are at the Core of the New e-business Infrastructure On-Line DataAccess Data Protection & Recovery Automated Management SAN Application Servers Desktop Applications VERITAS provides the software foundation for the SAN revolution

  5. e-business is Fundamentally Changing the Data Center • The e-business imperative... • e-business revenue will double every year for the next 5 years (Forrester) • All data needs to be available “7 x forever” • The Challenge... • exponential storage capacity + increased availability demands + less predictability without exponential costs! • The Solution... • Emulate mainframe storage management architecture at open systems prices

  6. The Promise of SANBusiness Needs & New Capabilities • Managing costs through physical centralization • Sharing of expensive peripherals • Capacity management across pools of storage • Optimize highly trained staff with central administration • Increased availability without exponential costs • Virtualization permits non-disruptive on-line changes • Policy agents automate storage management tasks • Multiple paths between application and data • Data centers that grow at internet speed • Adapt to rapid and unpredictable change • Re-purposing of application servers

  7. SAN Fabric Fibre Channel “Networks”Create the Basic Foundation for SAN • Any-to-any connectivity • Increased distance and performance • Unlimited scalability of nodes • Hubs and switches improve manageability Storage Management and Availability Applications

  8. SAN Fabric VERITAS Is SAN Enabling Existing Products... HSM Backup & Recovery HA Clusters & Replication Journaled File System Logical Volume Mgmt Storage Management Applications

  9. The State of SAN Technology • Challenges of New Technology • Interoperability and Evolving Standards • Legacy SCSI Limitations • Installation & Configuration Management • New SAN Management tools still evolving • You Can Install SANs Today... • Identify solutions which can deliver ROI • Choose strategic SAN partners • Proof of concept before roll-out

  10. Reality of Fibre Channel “Networks”... Small & Carefully Managed Installations Single hub or switch for fan-out topologies or shared devices Widespread Point-to-Point FC Multiple application and vendors through manually “zoned” switch and arrays in marquis sites.

  11. VERITAS Creates Standards & Solutions Through Industry Forums & Partnerships

  12. Configuration Requests VRTS Direct Solution QA End User Prioritized configurations Solution Partners SAN Platforms Solution QA Authorized Reseller/SI Consultative VERITAS SAN Integration/Solutions Lab Product QA Released VERITAS Product Solution QA Authorized Reseller Shrink-Wrap Assembly Entry Criteria SAN Reference Partners HBA Hub Switch Bridge RAID Tape Libs Delivering High Quality SAN Solutions with Partners Recommended Configurations & Best Practices

  13. Deploying First Generation SANs

  14. VERITAS and SANs Today Type of Account Application Wall Street VCS Large Retailer Volume ManagerSuper Computer Center VCS, Volume ManagerNational Medical Center NetBackupLarge Bank NetBackupTelecommunications VCS, Backup ExecBaby Bell VCSPetroleum Company VCSNote: These are all Fortune 500 companies who have implemented or are in the process of implementingVERITAS software to manage their SAN.

  15. VERITAS Logical Volume Manager (VxVM)in SAN Environments • Non-Disruptive On-Line Storage Management • Remote Mirror to peripheral 10km away • “LUN ownership” in multi-host environment • Add-storage on-line to FC hubs/switches • DMP provides path fail-over and load balancing • Performance Optimization across a SAN Logical Volume Mgmt SAN Fabric Works for both JBOD and RAID !

  16. LAN Free BackupDepartment and Enterprise Solutions • Minimize Disruption • move backup traffic off of LAN and onto high performance SAN • Increase Automation • reduce manual labor through sharing libraries & drives • Reduce Equipment Costs • amortize costs of tape libraries • cost effective for entry and mid-range servers NetBackup 3.2 SSO with Media Manager (NT & multiple UNIX) Backup & Recovery Backup EXEC - SSO (NT or NetWare) Global Data Manager

  17. VERITAS Cluster Server (VCS)for Server Farms over a SAN • Automated Application Fail-over and Recovery • Server application is “bound” to logical not physical storage • Agents automatically re-start application on new server, re-configure path to data & re-map volumes • SANs reduce cost of availability by avoiding replication • 32 Solaris server nodes supported today • HP/UX and NT4 release coming this fall HA Cluster SAN Fabric Works for both JBOD and RAID !

  18. LAN Free HSMStorage Migrator with Media Manager-SSO • Minimize Disruption • move HSM traffic off of LAN and onto high performance SAN • Automation of Storage Asset Optimization • move old data to cheaper storage • Reduce Equipment Costs • amortize costs of tape libraries • cost effective for entry and mid-range servers HSM Storage Migrator Add-on to NetBackup-SSO (NT & multiple UNIX)

  19. VERITAS / Brocade SAN Customer Example 2Wire, Inc. in California relies on a SAN to easily and quickly deliver and scale video content over the Internet VERITAS Volume Manager virtualizes physical storage resources, ensuring that applications remain on-line as storage configurations change. Key VxVM Features: • Data fault tolerance including automatic fail-over for disks and host bus adapters • On-line reconfiguration including dynamic extensibility • Dynamic multipathing

  20. VERITAS and SANThe Next Generation

  21. Global Storage Management Applications V3 Storage Appliance SAN Fabric VERITAS is Planning for Next Generation SANs with V3 V3 SAN Mgmt Tools HSM Backup & Recovery HA Clusters & Replication CFS/CVM Journaled File System Logical Volume Mgmt V3 SAN Access Layer Storage Management Applications

  22. Applications Filesystem SRM Agents Backup VxVM SAN Access Layer SCSI HBA Drivers The VERITAS SAN Access LayerCreates SAN-Aware Applications SAN Services & APIs Discovery Services • Topology & Distance • Zoning • Storage Attributes and Agents Common APIs for NT and UNIX • SAN APIs • Client APIs for SAN Management or storage management applications Host Host Host Host Host Host

  23. VERITAS StorageCentreIntelligent Storage Appliances Embedding VERITAS software on the “storage” side of the SAN Distributed SAN Services • SAN Attach Storage Server based on Foundation Suite • Commodity HW & Commercial OSfor variety price/performance points • VDISK layer represents “server” as avirtual disk over a SAN • Optional Samba+ layer allows fileaccess to storage over a LAN port • Add-on storage management functionsas needed for availability or scalability Foundation Suite Virtual Disk Layer Samba+ • Add-On Options • Replication • Backup • HSM • VCS

  24. VERITAS SAN Roadmap Deliver on any OS, any Server, any Peripheral 1998 1999 2000 2001 Beyond Phase 1 SAN Enabled Phase 2SAN Editions Phase 3 SAN Applications Storage Resource Management Parallel Homogeneous Clusters Off-host Backupand HSM SAN-Aware Applications Global StorageApplications SAN Suites • LAN Free Backup • Backup EXEC SSO • NetBackup SSO • Scalable availability clusters - VCS • Foundation Suite • VxVM & VxFS • LAN Free HSM • SAN “appliances” • SAN Infrastructure
