10 Cost Backup to the Cloud Using Backup in Virtual Environments SEP Sesam Cloud Solutions Why Use SEP Cloud Server? The best price TCO performance in the industry Performance 2nd to none SEP sesam s architecture is only limited by the connection speed and hardware configuration. Up to 64 data streams to tape and unlimited to the cloud! Reliability Set it and Forget it reliability. SEP sesam Cloud Services use the same technology used by 10 s of thousands of customers around the world Extra data protection Get your data off of your san, protect against san multi-disk failure and fiber channel switch/connection failure

11 SEP Cloud Server Simple Installation, can be installed in minutes! Can be installed on any Managed Service Provider Hardware running Linux SEP sesam Master Server Backup to the Cloud Using Backup in Virtual Environments SEP Sesam Cloud Solutions Directly backs up customer s data on-site Backed up data sent to Cloud SEP Cloud Performance 2nd to none SEP sesam Cloud Server architecture allows data transfer rates unequaled by competitive products Data transfer is only limited by the connections to the Internet SEP Cloud Unl Physical Connections and Streams Technology allows customers to install multiple Internet connections and use them simultaneously. Active/Active with multristreaming!

12 Backup to the Cloud Backup in Virtual Environments SEP Cloud Server Environment The SEP sesam backup recovery solution has been certified to work in any cloud environment. It is especially suited for Amazon EBSType Cloud solutions and gives an extremely high leve of reliability to anyone who wants to offer cloud based backup to their customers. SEP sesam Cloud Basic Configuration A standard SEP sesam Cloud configuration consits of a SEP sesam Standard Server running any Linux O/S and a SEP Cloud Server at the Cloud providers location. It can be controlled from either the customer s site or by the Master Service Provider, by installing the Master Cloud Server License.

13 Backup to the Cloud Backup in Virtual Environments SEP Cloud Server Technology The Managed Service Provider (MSP) can provide a turn-key backp soltuion to customers without ever going on site. The system administartor installs the software at the customer s site remotely. The customer can have the full softwaare running locally and back-haul the data to the Cloud Provider or they can simply backup everything to cloud. The SEP sesam Cloud solution makes it all seamless! SEP sesam Cloud Security A Security is provide using AES256 encryption for all data, while logfiles and encryption keys are sent over secure SSH for storing the Cloud.

14 Backup to the Cloud Backup in Virtual Environments SEP Cloud Server Adds Servers easily, quickly Add New Servers and Clients at customer sites with ease. MSPS s can add a server to a Group without reconfiguring the backup environment. Templates are supported in the form of backup groups and can be easily controlled from a central cloud location. SEP sesam Cloud Notifications MSP s can set notifications. Notification types include Backup Successful Backup Successful with errors Backup Failed

15 Backup in in Virtual Environments Citrix XENserver Online hot and warm module using the XENserver API Agent-Less Technology VMware vsphere/esx Directly via ESX host VCB-Proxy vstorage APIs for Data Protection (VADP) MS Hyper-V File consistency with VSS Open source Xen Backup using LVM snapshots

16 Virtual XEN Guest Online Online Backup Backup

17 XenDesktop Environment Backup in Virtual Environments Citrix Desktop Delivery Controller SQL File System System State Citrix License Server File System System State

18 XenDesktop Environment Backup in Virtual Environments Provisioning Server (Optional) SQL Database File System (Master Disk) Active Directory Domain Controller File System System State

19 XenDesktop Environment Backup in Virtual Environments Virtual Host Host-Backup Metadata Templates

20 XenServer Backup Backup in Virtual Environments Hot Backup Online Quiesced Backup VSS Aware Does not affect user access Cold Backup Will backup memory state Will prevent activation loss

21 Virtual Server Backup Backup in Virtual Environments Multinode Aware SEP sesam Backup Server looks at the cluster and will talk to all the hosts and determine where the guest is for the backup

22 Virtual Server Backup Multinode Aware After the backup is found, the communication stream will be isolated to the correct host

23 Virtual Server Restore Multinode Aware A host can be specified to direct the restore to a specific location

24 Virtual Server Replication Multinode Aware SEP sesam can be used to keep virtual guests synchronized between hosts or virtual clusters This can be used with the remote device server to synchronize servers between locations

25 Backup Oracle Environments Oracle Database, Tablespace and Data File level Backup and Restores XML Archiving Capable of arching Oracle in XML format Wizard based configuration

26 External Backup (e.g., Oracle DB) Manually or Scheduled Command Event Call Script Remote Task with -Name -Type References Taskname Backup on Media Script: -Call RMAN with Sesam Environment - Sesam_Server -Media Pool -Taskname Sesam Server Oracle Server

27 Backup in Exchange Environments Microsoft Exchange Server Roles: Edge Transport, Hub Transport, Client Access Server, Mailbox Server VSS Microsoft Exchange 2007 Single Mailbox LCR, CCR, SCR Microsoft Exchange 2010 DAG Restore RDB, DB instance, Mailbox Instance, Message Instance

28 Backup in SQL Environments Microsoft SQL Uses standard Windows Agent to support Full Copy, Differential and Incremental backups VSS aware Point in Time Restore Cross Restore of Databases into one another or another instance Log backups can be done with or without truncate options

29 Backup in SAP Environments SAP software Close partner Working together for over 15 years Highest level of certification of any third party vender Off Host Backup Supports other SAP R/3 Applications: Oracle DB on SUN, Oracle DB on Reliant Unix, Oracle DB on Tru64, MaxDB on AIX, MaxDB on Windows 2003 & 2008

30 Backup in a Novell Environment Backup over Novell Storage Management Services (SMS) and Target Service Agents (TSA) There is no Sesam client needed for OES NetWare, it uses the TSA The backup server or One OES2 Linux host has to work as Data Mover There must be a valid SLP configuration to backup cluster resources
