Optimize VMware and Hyper-V Protection with HP and Veeam John DeFrees, Global Alliance Solution Architect, Veeam Markus Berber, HP LeftHand P4000 Product Marketing Manager, HP
Key takeaways from today Virtualized environments require a new set of tools to meet today s expectations and business priorities Data deduplication in the HP StoreOnce Backup System optimizes backup storage utilization Veeam Backup & Replication delivers enhanced recovery time and recovery point objectives (RTOs and RPOs) The HP and Veeam solution offers a compelling total cost of ownership (TCO), and return on investment (ROI) that can be achieved in months not years This co-certified solution is optimized for VMware vsphere and Microsoft Hyper-V and is fully supported by HP and Veeam
Existing tools don t always do the job Traditional physical backup Agent in each VM Full VM recovery can be complex Expensive Does not always guarantee recoverability Traditional VM backup Backup code runs on ESX hosts Significant storage requirements Limited recovery options
Opportunities are being missed Virtualization provides new opportunities to improve data protection and disaster recovery
HP and Veeam architecture HP and Veeam provide a co-certified, end-to-end storage and data protection solution optimized for VMware vsphere and Microsoft Hyper-V P4000

Architecture benefits Scalability Storage and backup both designed for growth of the virtual environment Scale seamlessly without disrupting services Improved recovery time and recovery point objectives Fast incremental backups with Veeam Fast Instant VM Recovery from StoreOnce storage Disaster recovery Affordable virtualized DR with HP storage and Veeam replication
HP LeftHand P4000 Clustered scale-out architecture Start with today s needs Use storage nodes to build clusters Build single tier or multiple Leverage all critical resources Industry standard platforms Grow as needed Scale performance and capacity linearly online Multi-tiered environments SSD, SAS and MDL SAS clusters Migrate data online between clusters with Peer Motion
HP StoreOnce Backup System StoreOnce deduplication for flexible, disk-based backup storage Enhance business performance Instant access to backups with leading recovery performance Faster backups with scale-out technology High availability design including failover to maximize backup efficacy Lower operational costs Spend up to 95% less on new backup capacity 75% price and performance advantage over competing offerings Dynamically Scale capacity or performance up to 512TB or 40 TB/hr
Veeam Backup & Replication Designed for virtualization Image-based backups Support for VMware and Microsoft Hyper-V Improves recovery point objectives Efficient forward or reverse incremental backups Near-continuous data protection (near-cdp) Improves recovery time objectives Instant VM Recovery boots VMs from backup storage 2-in-1 backup and replication with failover and failback
Storage Efficiency Veeam deduplication: Optimized for network reduction Source-side deduplication Comparison size between 256KB and 1MB for network conditions Deduplication within backup jobs (one or more VMs) StoreOnce deduplication: Optimized for storage utilization Target-side deduplication Variable boundary 4K comparison size Deduplication within StoreOnce volume Complimentary technologies for maximum utilization, so enable both!
Recovery time What if you could start VMs from the backup storage when you needed to? Veeam Instant VM Recovery VM troubleshooting and recovery Testing of software updates and patches Backup testing and verification via SureBackup
Instant VM Recovery with HP storage Architecture considerations HP LeftHand P4000 as storage backup target for the lowest RTO No data rehydration required faster recovery Facilitates Universal Application Item Recovery (object-level) Veeam Explorer for SAN Snapshots simplifies recovery from LeftHand hardware-based snapshots lowering RTO and RPO HP StoreOnce storage - Best capacity utilization Must rehydrate data slower recovery Striking a balance Backup critical VMs to the HP LeftHand P4000, the rest to HP StoreOnce
Testing results Veeam v6 and StoreOnce Instant VM Recovery test Backup Mode (Forward Incremental) Storage Optimization (Veeam Block Size) Repository Type Total Time Reported full backup size Full backup size on disk (after dedupe) Reported incremental backup size Incremental size on disk (after dedupe) Total backup size on disk SAN w/ physical proxy LAN CIFS No Compression 26:51 67.9GB 19.5GB 15.2GB.1GB 19.6GB SAN via Hot Add w/ virtual proxy LAN CIFS No Compression 36:25 67.9GB 19.5GB 15.2GB.1GB 19.6GB LAN through ESX host LAN CIFS No Compression 32:11 67.9GB 19.5GB 15.2GB.1GB 19.6GB SAN w/ physical proxy WAN CIFS Low Compression 21:03 59.1GB 20.7GB 15.2GB.4GB 21.1GB SAN w/ physical proxy LAN CIFS Optimal Compression 21:01 28.3GB 27.2GB 15GB 4.9GB 32.1GB Boot Exchange in 4 minutes On P4000 Tradeoff: VM recovery time vs. size on disk Boot Exchange in 10 minutes On StoreOnce
Scaling out Easily increase all attributes of the architecture as your environment grows Scale-out primary storage performance and capacity with LeftHand Increase backup performance with distributed backup proxies Increase backup storage capacity with additional StoreOnce nodes
Architecture Best Practices LeftHand P4000 Isolate the storage traffic 10 Gb Ethernet Enable Veeam compression if used as a backup target StoreOnce Veeam Backup & Replication Increase Veeam comparison size Disable Veeam compression Multiple streams: 12-16 = the sweet spot Manual NIC load balancing or bonding (under investigation) Use physical proxies for better performance (not required) Typically 200 400 VMs per physical host Large block: LAN; Small Block: WAN Don t run more than 64 jobs at once Configure for direct SAN backups Use LeftHand hardware VSS provider for Hyper-V environments Configure backups for forward incremental Disable previous full backup chain transformations
