Backup & Restore Remote Data Center Data Center #1 Optical IP MAN / WAN FCIP Gateway FCIP Gateway Live Hosted Customer Data or Content Data Center #2 Remote Backup! description:! Hosted customer data or content is backed up at remote data center! Data centers may be across the metro or in separate geographical regions! In case of data loss, backup is accessible directly over the MAN/WAN Page 7 Contemporary Data Protection Schemes for Page 8 Snapshot Technology Time Moves Forward Blocks A and B Change on A B A B Take Snapshot C D Snapshot0 and Snapshot Made of Same Blocks Page 9
Automated Snapshots!Snapshot! a set of incremental pointers of a volume at a point in time. It allows the users to roll back the volume to its state at a certain point in time in the past.!benefits:! Near instantaneous retrieval of data compared to tape backup solutions! Facilitates recovery to pre-error state (compared to mirroring, which would mirror all errors)! Minimal storage space required by incremental pointers - no need to use slow offline solutions such as backup tape and no need for long backup windows 2:30 p.m.: CEO realizes he has accidentally deleted an important file! The IT administrator goes through the following steps to fix the problem with the snapshot feature: volume at 2:30 p.m. - + 2:00 p.m. snapshot Instantaneous rollback process Recovered: 2:00 p.m. volume, before the file deletion Page 10 Eliminating the Backup Window G: Corporate IP- Automated or Page 11 Instantaneous Restore Corporate G: IP- Automated or Page 12

Synchronous Replication! Each write verified written to remote site before next write! Remote site replica identical to primary! Distance limited to around 100 KM (latency)! Asynchronous Replication! Writes allowed to queue to certain depth before no more writes allowed! Remote site copy differs only by queued write depth! Extends distance! Remote Copy! Initial remote copy made from primary volume.! Incremental updates made with additional, scheduled snapshots! No distance limits Page 15
Replicating with Fibre Channel Protocol! Fiber channel limited to 10 km! Distance replication requires use of IP protocol! Multiple methods! FCIP protocol! ifcp protocol!

FCIP Gateway encapsulates FC frames into IP! Multi-point connectivity over IP MAN/WANs! Can interconnect s up to several hundred km (+++) IP MAN / WAN Benefits! Preserves FC infrastructure and investments! Only edge devices need to be aware of FCIP encapsulation!

Failback allows seamless resumption of business operation Fail over and fail back allows users to define business rules about continuing data access in case of site failure Production Acting Snapshot Page 24
Summary! Native disk and tape devices, in conjunction with standard backup software deliver automated data protection throughout the IT environment! Contemporary snapshot technology and IP storage can eliminate backup windows! IP storage delivers flexibility in deploying offsite replication scenarios! IP storage leverages current investments and makes disaster recovery truly affordable Page 25
