1 TRANSFORMING BACKUP AND RECOVERY In virtual environments with EMC Avamar and Data Domain 1

2 Session Overview This presentation explores the data protection challenges faced in growing VMware and Hyper-V environments and shows how Avamar and Data Domain provide new levels of protection. 2

3 Top IT Priorities for 2012 Source: Source: ESG Research Report, 2012 IT Spending Intentions Survey, January 2012 Which of the following would you consider to be your organization's most important IT priorities over the next months? (Percent of respondents, N=614, ten responses accepted) Improve data backup and recovery Increased use of server virtualization Major application deployments or upgrades Manage data growth Information security initiatives Business continuity/disaster recovery programs Data center consolidation Desktop virtualization Mobile workforce enablement Deploying a "private cloud" infrastructure Regulatory compliance initiatives Business intelligence/data analytics initiatives Deploying applications on or for new mobile devices Improve collaboration capabilities Use cloud infrastructure services Major database deployments or upgrades Reduce data center power and cooling requirements Applications delivered via software as a service (SaaS) model Deploy application or workload specific systems/appliances Deploy integrated computing platform Use platform as a service (PaaS) for application development 11% 11% 15% 14% 17% 16% 21% 21% 20% 20% 20% 23% 22% 22% 25% 24% 27% 27% 30% 30% 29% 0% 5% 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% 35% 3

Divides data into DYNAMIC variable-length subfile segments 2. Determines if segments are unique or duplicate 3. Backs up only data that is unique 4. Sends data compressed and encrypted 6

7 Avamar for VMware Optimized for VMware backup and recovery Application consistency Guest-level backup Faster image-level backup Changed block tracking for faster backups Universal proxy with load balancing Bare-metal (VMDK) image-level restore Integrated with VMware vstorage API for data protection One-step recovery Changed block tracking for faster restores Agentless file-level recovery for Windows and Linux Streamlined management with vcenter Qualified for VCE Vblock data protection 7

8 Business Critical Application Backup Avamar agents ensure application consistency APP OS APP OS APP OS VM1 VM2 VMn Virtual Infrastructure Application-specific agent within each VM ensures consistent state for hot backup Deduplicates within and across virtual machines Reduces resource contention and speeds backups Provides file-level restore for Windows, Linux, and Solaris No charge for agents 8

11 Changed Block Tracking Faster and more reliable CPU Utilization % VM Proxy Server CPU Utilization for Image Backup Traditional backup requires 80 percent CPU utilization for two minutes 2. With Changed Block Tracking, only changed blocks are processed Avamar uses 10 percent CPU utilization for just a few seconds 11

12 Flexible Image-Level Recovery Original Existing VMware NEW Three ways to restore a virtual machine: Restore back to original virtual machine Restore to an existing virtual machine Restore to a new virtual machine Change the game: Help simplify disaster recoveries using Avamar Avamar Data Store 12
