This sample uses local storage for DBs. Putting DBs on a filer further simplifies HA/DR, but has trade-offs at scale. Journal can be on filer (recommended) or local. You have options for archive file replication! Combined with offline checkpoints, provides point in time capture of all data! 5

9 The Future? I see: Version Everything driving more data into Perforce. Even more horizontal scaling of the Perforce. Filers becoming more prominent visibly in bare metal Perforce as well as behind the scenes for virtual deployments. 9

10 Added Value of SnapMirror in Perforce Production DR or Dev ü Provide replicated (read-only) copy of Perforce File Depots. SnapMirror ü Uses the storage resources instead of host to do replication. ü Storage Efficient with Deduplication Deduplicate Redundant Data Replicate Dedup Data Only ü Utilize SnapMirror compression for even more efficiency and reduces bandwidth utilization. ü With FlexClone, can create Perforce workspaces quickly and efficiently at remote site.
