1 Backup and Recovery in the Virtual Age Scott Baker and Bahar Shah

2 Trends Symantec V-Ray Server virtualization is the single biggest game-changing trend in IT today Virtual environments are becoming the norm rather than the exception Cloud enabled disaster recovery Cloud resident servers

3 Virtualization is growing exponentially in the SMB segment, especially in Mid-Market Virtualization growing exponentially Percentage of Servers Virtualized - Midmarket >50% MM business at 75%-100% levels Businesses running virtual machines/physical server ~40% to be at 100% level in 2 years 3

4 Challenges Symantec V-Ray VM sprawl Low tolerance for downtime Data redundancy Higher storage cost Protection and Monitoring Low visibility into VM contents Existing investments into physical infrastructure Licensing

9 Data and Application Protection, Recovery Symantec V-Ray Granular Recovery for Physical, Virtual Applications VMware Server Running Application Servers Backup Exec 2012 Server + Virtual Agent 1 Single-pass Backup of Virtual Guest Systems 2 Restore granular Exchange, SQL, SharePoint, and Active Directory data in seconds: Individual mailboxes s Private or public Folders Calendar items Tasks User accounts or attributes SQL databases 9

10 Unite Physical and Virtual Environment Protection One vendor, one backup, one console. Symantec V-Ray Reduce cost and management of multiple products Complete data, application, and system protection for physical and virtual environments from a single console. Reduce cost of multiple agents Backup unlimited Windows and Linux Guest virtual machines to disk or tape with a single agent. Reduce storage resources Advanced deduplication for physical and virtual backups; granular file and application recovery from a single online, image-level backup.
