What does this gap mean? That the off-site aspect should be addressed due to the expectations of the business today. Investments in a Modern Data Center can take you to where you need to be. Modern Data Center Virtualization Modern storage Cloud
How can Data Loss be avoided? That s the key first question in addressing availability today
Data Loss Avoidance How do you reduce the risk of data loss? 83% of Veeam customers are more confident in their current backup compared to previous solutions ESG Customer Insights Research
Data Loss Avoidance "With Veeam s data deduplication, the backup window shrunk, and the amount of backup storage required decreased as well. Now we save approx. $50,000 each year on backup storage costs. - Barry Stewart, IT Manager, Prairie South School Division
Off-site recovery 101 With vsphere/hv virtualization, there are a lot of off-site things to consider: Running VMs Restoring VMs Having Data Available
Off-site recovery 101 There also are a lot of challenges: (Possible) Idle DR data center Lack of secondary site Lack of inter-site bandwidth Existing controls and requirements for data moving
Mindset: The 3-2-1 Rule 3 Different copies of data 2 Different media 1 of which is off site Addresses nearly any failure scenario Doesn t lock-in any specific technology
#1 Question: What s the off-site requirement? This is the first question, turn it around and ask what does the technology demand? Off-site backups Replicated VMs Ready to go DR site 4 and 5 letter words: Cloud and Tape
Can Recovery = Production? The expectation is high today for performance When things go wrong, should performance be equal to production? How do we get there? Replicas, fast storage for backups, etc.
The replicated VM: Very fast and powerful Not new, but still very powerful recovery technique: Production-level performance Key advancements over the years. Veeam-specific: WAN Accelerated Failover plan Source from backup Remote proxy and metadata cache
Off-site backups to a second site Good way to address off-site availability: Move backups off-site
Off-site backups to a service provider Some new options for off-site backups with Veeam Cloud Connect Application-specific technology that combines compute & storage in a service provider cloud.
Cloud Connect for the Win! Very easy to find a service provider: http://vee.am/splookup Very specific options like where data is stored can be selected.
Can your array help you out? If you use Veeam and have any of these arrays you can enjoy an easy off-site recovery option: HP StoreVirtual HP StoreServ NetApp NetApp (LeftHand) (3PAR) (FAS Series) (V Series) Everyone wants to know the criteria for who is next for this Veeam support: 1. Must be a good storage technology 2. Must have good market share 3. Must have sales and marketing support from storage OEM
Tape for the Modern Era? Show of hands: Is tape still an priority in your availability strategy. If so, that s OK. Portability and acquisition cost of tape can t be beat.
Goal: Fully address off-site requirements So you ve build the BEST Modern Data Center today, do you have what you need to meet your off-site requirements? Backups off-site Cloud-based backups Service Provider DR Array replication Replicated VMs Backups on Tape Failover data center Easy & familiar recovery
