TSM FastBack combines block level continuous backup with snapshot function Protection Block-level, continuous, incremental-forever Windows Applications and File systems SQL, Exchange, Lotus, Oracle, SAP and more VMWare support No backup window required Policy-based capture schedule Recovery Granular any data object File, folder, volume, system Point-in-Time rollback Instant Restore Instant access, background restore Recover Anywhere - At the branch, DR site, Data Center Central Vaulting of Backup Copies Backup consolidation Centralized backup to tape Encryption in transit Adaptive protection : Dial up the level of protection your application or fileserver requires
TSM Fastback Block Level Incremental Forever backup process Production Disk Application or File server Fastback Server Optional Fastback DR Server Low bandwidth Link Incremental backups are Block-Level, not filelevel. Only the blocks that have changed since the last incremental snapshot are backed up Select what and when the incremental block-level changes move to the DR server
Instant Restore for the Remote Office or Data Center Application availability during recovery Problem Its 9pm on April 30 th at a large CPA firm, and the Exchange email server just went down. The CPA s are immediately on the phone to the help desk, as they have tax returns to file electronically by midnight. Typical Production Disk Solution : Laura, the sys admin deployed Instant Restore and achieves the following: Instant restore of Exchange Server with capability to send mail only, the CPA s send the tax returns, while the rest of the Server function is restored. 1. Activate Instant Restore 2. Background Process restores blocks gradually 3. Write IOs are performed as usual 4. Read IOs from un-recovered areas create restore on demand 5. All other reads are performed as usual New Production Disk Exchange server Xpress Restore Server New Exchange server
TSM FastBack Product Family Offerings TSM FastBack Comprehensive data protection solution Disk-based, block-level, incremental-forever technology Near-instant restore of data from any point-in-time, anywhere in the environment Disaster Recovery built in Policy-based selective replication for off-site recovery Highly-efficient use of WAN and storage resources TSM FastBack for Microsoft Exchange Rapidly recover any e-mail object: message, attachment, calendar entry, contact, tasks, notes Near-instant access provides a great tool for data mining and unobtrusive testing of production environments TSM FastBack Center Bundle of the 3 components together TSM FastBack for Bare Machine Recovery Restore the OS volume on dissimilar hardware in minutes Great tool for cost-effective business continuance and server migrations
Storage Resource and Infrastructure Management
Storage Resource and Infrastructure Management Challenges and Needs Controlling out-of-control storage growth Minimizing performance bottlenecks Planning for capacity upgrades Minimizing outages & keeping up with changes in the SAN Simplifying the management of multi-vendor storage devices Data migration Customer Challenges Customer Needs Better utilization of existing resources Performance analytics with root cause identification Capacity management Change configuration management based on best practices policies Common tools across many systems Non-disruptive data movement
Flexible Storage Infrastructure with SAN Volume Controller Thin Provisioning Make changes to the storage without disrupting host applications Virtual Disk Mirroring Virtual Disk Virtual Disk SAN Virtual Disk Virtual Disk Apply common copy services across the storage pool DS8000 SAN Volume Controller Advanced Copy Services HDS Storage Pool DS4000 EMC HP Manage the storage pool from a central point Combine the capacity from multiple arrays into a single pool of storage
Storage Virtualisation Delivers Simpler infrastructure and management Logically consolidate without physical consolidation Physically consolidate while keeping workloads separate Simplify and standardise management Improve administrator productivity Improve resource utilisation Better application availability Move data without disruption to applications Simplify use of tiered storage Remove limitations of physical infrastructure Enable information management without concern about information location Increase flexibility and responsiveness Ease deployment of multi-vendor environments
Storage Infrastructure Management Today Each storage element has its own management tool pseries BladeCenter xseries Windows Admins must be trained on each element management tool Different vendor tool sets that basically do the "same thing No end to end (HBA to disk) storage management McData Director IBM Director Cisco Director No central reporting repository for management Cannot automate routine storage administrative tasks IBM IBM Tape Library STK Tape Library
Storage Management Business Requirements Manage the entire data center from a single user interface Including devices from 3 rd party hardware vendors Improve configuration management Planning & implementation Better change management Track, Audit, Compare Visibility of trends & performance Better reporting Asset/Capacity/Utilization Rapid notification and identification of problems
How much storage do I have available for my applications? How is my storage being used? When do I need to buy more storage? How well are my storage systems performing (RAS)? How do I maintain storage service levels? How do I simplify and centralise the management of my storage infrastructure? How can I automate the provisioning of my storage systems, databases, file systems and SAN? Which applications, users and databases are the primary consumers of my storage? How do I know the storage is not the bottleneck for user response time issues? How reliable is my SAN? Answer these with IBM TotalStorage Productivity Center How do I monitor and centrally manage my replication services? Is the storage infrastructure available and performing as needed? Which files must be backed up, archived and retained for compliance?

Information Retention and Lifecycle Management
Information Retention and Lifecycle Management Common Storage Related Challenges How do I comply with data retention requirements? Challenges and Needs How do I discover all data to respond to legal inquiries? My backup windows are increasing My application performance is suffering because there is too much data. How do I effectively manage cost with significant growth in unstructured data? Needs: Match the value of the information with the storage technology and management. Help ensure that data is retained and accessible when needed or is otherwise removed and destroyed.
