9 What Is Replication Manager? What Is Replication Manager? A portfolio of software applications that dramatically simplify and automate the creation, management, and usage of disk-based replications Who Needs RM/SE? RM/SE is ideal for customers who: Need easy replication of Windows applications (SQL Server, Exchange) Have small to mid-sized environments Tape restores are not recovering within the window needed Looking to maximize the investment in SnapView and SAN Copy RM/SE is very easy to use and is aimed at Dell/EMC-Windows customers

10 RM/SE builds on SnapView Technology SnapView replication technology makes it fast and efficient.. Create point-in-time copies of Exchange/SQL database/log files Exchange remains online, with no performance impact Reverse synch of replica provides fast restore Fully compliant with Microsoft VSS architecture RM/SE makes it easy.. Automates the hot-split process Simple GUI designed for administrator, not storage administrator Point in time copies scheduled as required Unattended operation Allows application focused administrators to create, manage, and restore replications of SQL Server and Exchange without requiring an in-depth understanding of Dell/EMC or SnapView

11 Replication Manager/SE Key Features Ease of Use Easy to Install Easy to Manage Save Time Limited Expertise Interoperability Windows Style GUI Configuration Checker Auto-detects customer environment Auto-Discovery Auto discovers arrays, applications, replication technologies and OS greatly reducing configuration time Application integration Modules specially designed for Exchange and SQL Eliminates Scripting Fully automates management of replicas Catalogs, schedules and expires Supports all SnapView replicas and SAN Copy (Full)

12 Windows Style User Interface Difference between RM-Local and RM-SE is the User Interface, which uses the Windows Style Guide (versus the Java interface of Local)

13 Configuration Checker RM_SE Support Matrix.doc (436...

14 Eliminates Scripting RM-SE Scheduler provides simplified management No access to Navisphere console for DB Admin No knowledge of SnapView required Reduces costs associated with creating maintaining scripts for SnapView Increases efficiency by providing scheduling, cataloging and expiring of replicas Application owner responsible for determining frequency and relevant data for BU& Restore

15 Interoperability Dell/EMC SnapView Snapshots Copy on first write-based Snap Dell/EMC SnapView BCVs Full, volume-based copy Dell/EMC Snapshots off BCVs SAN Copy facilitating the movement of replicas from array to array

16 Application Integration Mount Options for Exchange Users have the option of running ESEUTIL/ ESEFILE Users have the option to mount replicas using Windows mount points Pre- and post- scripts as part of a job (backup, etc.)

17 Restoring Replicas Replicas can also be restored back to the production server Restore the entire content of a replica Restore part of a replica such as an Exchange store (Mailbox store, public store, etc.)

18 What Is VSS? Microsoft s Volume Shadow Copy Service is built into Windows Server 2003 A framework for making volume snapshots on a Windows platform Coordinates Writers, Providers, and Requestors

19 Restoring and Recovering Exchange Data Restore From the Dell/EMC BCV Fast incremental reverse synchronization Immediate availability Dell/EMC Protected Restore preserves the backup database copy Exchange Server log replay The Exchange Server replays the log files into the restored copy of the database on the production volume Results in a database recovered up to the point in time of the failure

33 Dell s Storage Value Proposition

34 Storage Partnership Partnership agreement in October, 2001 now extended to More than 25,000 new Dell/EMC solutions implemented world-wide Dell is EMC s largest global partner Dell accounts for 1 in 3 CX sales Kevin B. Rollins and Joseph M. Tucci. October 22, 2001 #1 worldwide computer systems company Committed to delivering value to customers Industry-leading Dell operational efficiency brought into EMC line #1 worldwide supplier of total network storage 1 Dedicated to automated networked storage Industry-leading EMC products and services brought into Dell portfolio

35 A Strategic Partnership Our partnership with Dell is extremely strategic and runs the gamut from collaborating on new product requirements and functionality through manufacturing, marketing, sales and service. - Joe Tucci, EMC CEO 2004 Joint product development (e.g. AX1X0 and CX3XX and Replication Manager SE) Continuing collaboration on next generation products (hardware and software) Customers across the globe believe in the Dell EMC proposition demonstrated by unrivalled growth A compelling combination: #1 Intel Server vendor & #1 storage vendor

36 Customer Choice If it s a matter of choice... Choose Both

37 Thanks You!
