9 th September Archive as a Service Welcome www.phoenix.co.uk/draas
Agenda Introductions Chris Coulson Mike Dale George Wignall Sandeep Jandu Regain control of your data - Chris Coulson, DRaaS Product Manager at Phoenix, explains what can be achieved with an active archive, delivered as a service UK innovation - Sandeep Jandu, Services Specialist, demonstrates the first active Archive as a Service in the UK Q&A your questions answered
Regain control of your data! www.phoenix.co.uk/draas
Why Archive at all? Compliance Control primary storage growth/costs Shrink backup windows Reduce human error Secure critical information Discovery and data mining (Big Data) Disaster recovery (business critical v business important) Accountability Identifies problematic behavior
The different types of archiving File Archive Email Archive SharePoint Archive Global File Services Secure File Sharing Data Analytics (Big Data)
% Data in an organisation Importance of data over time 100% of data created today is business critical but less than 5% of this will be business critical in a year 20% of data is critical to running your business Tier 1 data needing backup and business continuance 80% of data is important to your business Tier 2+ data suited to archiving over backup Annual data growth is 40% per year Capacity optimised Performance optimised How data ages over time
Data growth: the impact on storage & backup Running out of primary storage forcing expensive upgrades Buying more storage is expensive full stop you also have to provision for backup and recovery, environmental, management, etc. Primary storage devices run slower as they fill up so emptying them increases performance Just too much stuff in the system. The old stuff needs to be cleared down to focus on a robust, performant end user experience
Why archive is even more important now 80% of the World s data is file data 80% of that file data is inactive but cannot be deleted for practical, legal and compliance reasons. 2% will be touched again but which 2%. It needs to be accessible and indexed We still continue to store and protect all our data in the same way IT is under pressure to reduce RTOs but have more data to recover without archive you can t defy the laws of physics!
So why haven t most businesses implemented archive? I don t know what data is suitable Difficult to justify cost It doesn t improve my RTO Integration problems to make it seamless to the end user I ll just use Amazon Glacier or MS Azure Storage!
How Archive as a Service overcomes these problems Data discovery tool identifies archive data Archive appliance on site: Appliance is part of your domain. Archiving is based on policies: Date, type, owner, location, etc. Fully flexible and open ended Seamless operation for end users Web portal also available for file recovery
How Archive as a Service overcomes these problems Archiving Process: Scan file servers for archive candidates Batch candidates for processing File copied/moved to Phoenix object store File then stubbed on File Server All delivered as a service
