3 IT Considerations Mobility of data Volume of data Protection of data 3

4 Backup Considerations Data Volume Backup Time Restore Time Disaster Recovery Reliability 4

5 Backup Methods Tape Backup Slow performance resulting in longer backup windows 20-30% failure rate for backups and restores IT staff pressured by slow or failed restores Standard Disk Fast and reliable backups and restores Expensive for longer retention periods Only good for staging one or two copies Not viable for offsite retention Disk-Based Backup with Deduplication Fast and reliable disk-based backups and restores Compression and deduplication allows for long retention Only changed bytes traverse WAN to offsite 5

6 What is ExaGrid? Fastest, most scalable disk backup repository with deduplication with best price/performance Best-in-Class Ranking Scale-out architecture enables organizations to scale performance linearly and add capacity in modular increments while minimizing need to replace existing nodes Scaled to offer a higher raw storage capacity than other models with this ranking 6

7 What is ExaGrid? Low-risk easy integration with existing processes Shortest backup times (30-90% faster than tape) Fastest onsite recovery Most scalable architecture to support data growth WAN-efficient elimination of offsite tape: Instant DR Most comprehensive management and reporting Built-in redundancy with simple automated operation 7

8 Compression & Deduplication Compression Takes data and applies logic to reduce it s footprint Deduplication Takes like data patterns and refer to the previous instance 8

15 Scalable Architecture Forklift Upgrade model to model Capacity and performance limited by model 1-5TB 5 to 10 TB 10 to 20TB 20 to 30 TB 30 to 60TB Capacity and Performance Scalability Modular Scalability Capacities:1TB -130TB in single GRID Upgrade: Pay as you grow, not up-front; no forklift upgrades Grow in cost-effective increments 15

16 Performance Backup Performance Restore Performance Inline Solutions ExaGrid Post-Processing Block-level Deduplication ExaGrid Byte-level Deduplication 2-3X Faster Than Inline 30-90% Faster Than Tape Latest backup stored in complete form Backup directly to disk Unique landing zone architecture Ready for instant restore in as fast as minutes Fast tape copy Post-process compression, deduplication Post-process compression and bytelevel data dedupe No in-line processes to slow backups Shortest possible backup window Latest Backup Efficient restore of earlier versions Byte-level changes quickly merged to latest backup Seamless to backup application Can restore from any historical version 16

17 Replication & DR Primary Site Backup Job Secure Data Center 20:1 WAN Efficiency Cross Site Protection WAN Secondary Site Backup Job Secure Data Center Optimizes most recent backup for Instant DR Avoids delays from restoring from tape Restores faster from full copy vs rehydrating data Example: 1TB Backup 500 GB (last backup compressed) 500 GB 500 GB 20 GB 500 GB 20 GB 20 GB 20 GB Updated to Last Backup 17

18 Multi-Site Topology Hub Spokes Spokes Multi-site Architecture 20:1 WAN efficiency across all sites Management from single UI Cross-site protection between sites Maximum : 9 sites Consolidated DR copies of backup 18

19 Management Managed by web browser Single interface across all systems Simple dashboard gives quick view of deduplication and replication status Virtualized pool of storage Data deduplication shared across systems Automatic capacity loadbalancing 130TB GRID 19

20 Backup Economics Up-front cost Customers buys just what they need up-front Ongoing costs as data grows Cost-effectively and seamlessly add modular capacity Grow up to 130TB in one GRID without expanding backup windows Refreshes? No obsoleting previously purchased system No forklift upgrades 20

21 Why you need a Grid Backup and Recovery are High Throughput and Time Sensitive GRID architectures match power to workload consistently High Performance Computing Legacy architectures bottleneck through controller or create sprawl Data is Growing Rapidly GRID architectures maintain linear performance without complexity Legacy architectures degrade or have complex management Forklift Upgrades are Costly and Complex GRID architectures allow expansion without forklift upgrades Legacy architectures force expensive upgrades at certain capacities Technologies are Always Changing GRID architectures avoid obsolescence, mix new with current nodes seamlessly Legacy architectures lock you in to current technologies Backup is a Pure Cost Center GRID architectures cost effectively spread the work across modest components Legacy architectures must use higher cost components to keep up 21

22 Why you need ExaGrid ExaGrid offers customers the best backup performance Post-process architecture ensures backups run at disk speeds ExaGrid offers customers the fastest restore performance Landing space acts like a cache, storing up to 1 week of backups in their native, uncompressed format for instant access Most recent version of all data stored in compressed form in repository; only older versions are de-duped ExaGrid has the best price to the customer Competing solutions are typically 30% more expensive to support the same size environments ExaGrid has the best scalability of any de-dupe product GRID architecture adds processor, memory, disk and network bandwidth as systems increase in size. De-duplication of 20TB of data requires twice as much memory and processor as de-duplication of 10TB, only ExaGrid provides this 22
