1 Best-practice Backup Scenarios from Symantec and Fujitsu John Hilger (Symantec) René Köhnen-Wiesemes (Fujitsu) Fujitsu Technology Solutions

2 Who we are John Hilger Sr. Principal Systems Engineer Specialist for Backup, Storage & Availability products Symantec René Köhnen-Wiesemes Sr. IT Solution Architect Storage Data Protection Fujitsu Fujitsu Technology Solutions

3 Data Protection You don't miss your water til the well runs dry William Bell from the album The Soul of a Bell (1961) You don t miss your data unless it s gone Typical challenges for data protection Perception of backup (-> cost) Compliance requirements Data growth & Migration costs Level of disaster resilience and risk The proof point for a backup solution is the restore case Always fulfill the core intention: Ensure the required SLAs Fujitsu Technology Solutions

4 Integrated Products become Solutions & Fujitsu Technology Solutions

5 and from Fujitsu CS8000 V6 Up to 22.2 PByte (based on DX600 shelf / 4TB disks) Co-existence of B2D2T and Deduplication Synchronous Cache Mirror even with Deduplication ViNS interface for CIFS/NFS file services Up to 10 front- or backend controller (ICPs/IDPs) CS800 S5 Scalable Entry Model (4-24 TB) Scalable Scale Model ( TB) Asynchronous Data Replication Co-existence of VTL and NetBackup OST device Tape-out for long term retention (CS8000 possible) Fujitsu Technology Solutions

6 Real world example of integrated products making an enterprise solution Together Fujitsu and Symantec can help reduce data at it s source, e.g. for Archiving Exchange Enterprise Vault Server ETERNUS CS8000 V6 NAS ICP WORM ICP LAN/SAN NetApp FAS8000 Exchange Data productive non productive Exchange Server ETERNUS CS8000 as a single platform for Data Protection and Archiving NAS ICP adds CIFS & NFS protocol to ETERNUS CS8000 ViNS (Virtual Network Storage) ETERNUS CS8000 supports 2 billion files and 3 Million virtual tape drives Symantec Enterprise Vault and KPMG certified WORM functionality Fujitsu Technology Solutions

7 Looking at the components from Symantec OpsCenter Server Master Server Media Server(s) Clients Central Management and Reporting (optional) Control & schedule backup & restore activities Track contents of backups (Maintain catalog/index/lifecycle of the protected data) No hard limit on number of media servers or clients Performing backups & restores - I/O work horse that uses desired backup media (disk, tape, dedup appliance, cloud, etc ) No hard limit on number of media servers or storage units SAP Servers Database Servers VMware ESX Servers MSFT App Servers File Servers Unstructured data Servers to be protected No hard limit per Media Server or Master server Fujitsu Technology Solutions

8 Looking at the integration (e.g. CS800) NetBackup OpenStorage (OST) The OST API leverages the best of NBU & the OST device to maximize the capabilities & value Media Server(s) Any connectivity direct-attached, NAS, SAN, Any format proprietary file system, deduplication, CS800 S5 NetBackup OpenStorage OST Plug-in Any protocol FC, TCP/IP, combination, Storage Server Leverage NetBackup for : Policy, Control, & enhance appliance OpenStorage API - neutral zone Leverage unique Vendor features for Optimized Backup & Restore like: Optimized Duplication Dedupe before replication between OST devices Automatic Image Replication (AIR) Automatically copy backup images incl. metadata between NBU Masters/Domains using OST devices Optimized Synthetics Create synthetic full backups from incremental backups, without moving data from OST device Direct Copy Shared Copy backup images copied directly to a shared tape device without Media Server involvement Fujitsu Technology Solutions

9 Symantec OpenStorage (OST) Partners Fujitsu Technology Solutions

10 NetBackup OST HCL for Fujitsu Nov Fujitsu Technology Solutions

11 Enterprise Deduplication Solution One size does not fit all, enterprise environments need ALL deduplication solutions Source / Client Side Deduplication Media Server / Target based Deduplication Full Integration with Deduplication Storage Catalog Data Catalog Data Data Media Server CS800 Data CS Fujitsu Technology Solutions

12 NetBackup & Fujitsu CS800 An Enterprise Backup & Dedup solution via NBU OST integration (SPEED) SPEED Source based deduplication Fujitsu CS800 Storage based deduplication SPEED Install & use SPEED on NetBackup clients for client/source deduplication SPEED Send data to CS800 with SPEED for storage based deduplication SPEED NBU Clients Install & use SPEED on NetBackup Media server for target side deduplication. NetBackup Media Server Target based deduplication * Speed requires an NBU media server / OST, but NBU platform license enables unlimited media servers, thus enabling you to upgrade all NBU clients to media servers Fujitsu Technology Solutions

13 Enterprise Deduplication Solution Multiple types of dedup solutions standing side-by-side does NOT equal an enterprise dedup solution Source Dedup next to Target Dedup does NOT equal Enterprise Dedup Source based deduplication Deduplication for VMware Target based dedup Deduplication for Databases Avamar 2 nd copy of dedup data sent to 2 nd backend storage 2 nd copy of rehydrated data sent to 2 nd backend storage Data Domain No global deduplication between source & target deduplication solutions ( Duplicate copies of data exist on BOTH deduplication storage devices? ) More data hops = more negative impact to network Restores require multiple re-hydrations, and multiple hops ( DD Avamar client ), which hurts your RTO Source Dedup AND Target Dedup AND Storage Dedup All-in-One Enterprise Dedup Target based deduplication Source based deduplication NetBackup Media Server Global Deduplication (Maximum deduplication benefits) One hop for backups & restores, and one rehydration for restore (Best for RTO) BEST Storage based deduplication Fujitsu CS Fujitsu Technology Solutions 1

14 NetBackup OST : Auto Image Replication (AIR) Master Server Master Server AIR image replication Backup Client Image Metadata is added MSDP Media Server Import image metadata Duplication NetBackup Storage Lifecycle Polices (SLPs) control the replication from Domain A to Domain B CS800 Source Domain Image Optimized Duplication Image CS800 Target Domain Image Once the image is automatically imported into Domain B by the AIR policy, the image copy in Domain B is then managed by that domain Fujitsu Technology Solutions 1

15 Real world solution example Cluster Load balanced Media Servers (Storage Unit Group) OST AIR OST Tape-Out NBU-Agent NBU-Agent (optional) Dedup WAN Replikation via OST CS800 Synchronous Mirror Dedup / Non-Dedup HANA Snapshots Fast Restore HANA Snapshots Fast Restore Fujitsu Technology Solutions

16 Real world backup performance increase NetBackup & ETERNUS CS vs. Competitor C Main drivers: #1 Leverage functionalities like VIP, SAN backup, Offhost backup etc. #2 Usage of disk based storage #3 Dedup only where it makes sense #4 Fulfill business aspects: Often restore SLAs are more important than backup SLAs #5 System tuning (e.g. buffer size, DB parameters, firewall rules, SLP settings) #6 CS8000 automate and control the creation of 2 nd. or 3 rd. backup copies #7 Tight integration of ETERNUS CS into NetBackup Fujitsu Technology Solutions

17 New Features Accelerator Accelerator for VMware Instant Recovery VMware (IRV) Array based Snapshots for VMware Fujitsu Technology Solutions

18 NetBackup Accelerator for VMware Accelerator is The Perfect Incremental Traditional Incremental backups require processing during backup to determine changes Change Journaling / CBT tracks changes as they occur (eliminates processing at backup time) NBU Accelerator utilizes data change tracking technologies to eliminate change processing time & overhead NBU 7.5 introduced Change Journaling for Windows clients Windows clients with change journaling enabled Targeted at files (CIFS/NFS) NBU 7.6 introduced Change Block Tracking (CBT) VMware environments Accelerator does NOT replace deduplication Ideal solution is to use BOTH Accelerator and NBU client side dedup Fujitsu Technology Solutions
