Data protection paradigms and architectures (especially backup and recovery) must change in order to adapt to virtualized environments. IDC s Worldwide Storage for the Virtualized Environment Taxonomy, 2009 (Doc #221325), Benjamin Woo, Laura DuBois, Noemi Greyzdorf, December 2009 5
The VMware Backup Must Have List Must address today s issues Relieve resource contention Contain backup storage growth Enable more-effective disaster recovery Must provide business value Lower backup infrastructure costs Improve operations Reduce risk Must integrate with VMware infrastructure VMware vstorage API for Data Protection VMware vcenter Server 6
Deduplication Is the Key Relieve resource contention Contain backup storage growth Enable more effective disaster recovery 7
Client-Side Deduplication Moves Less Data VMware ESX Network B A D A C A B C B D C B 1. Divides data into sub-file variable length segments 2. Determines if segments are unique or duplicate Avamar Data Store 3. Backs up only data that is unique 4. Sends data compressed and encrypted 8
Avamar Deduplication backup software and system End-to-end, software/hardware solution Improves backup window, less network load Client-side deduplication Avamar VM Integrated high availability and reliability Flexible deployment options Standalone Integrated with Data Domain and NetWorker Full backups every time and one-step recovery Higher backup success rate and reliability Increased ROI, lower TCO, less risk 9
Avamar Is Optimized for VMware Guest-level backup Provides application consistency Image-level backup Integrated with VMware vstorage API for Data Protection and vcenter Server One-step file-level recovery from image backup Tight VMware vcenter Server integration Qualified on VCE Vblock Infrastructure Platforms in EMC test labs Deployable as a virtual appliance Avamar Virtual Edition 10
VMware Guest-Level Backup Avamar agents ensure application consistency Avamar agents VMware ESX Application-specific agent within each VM ensures consistent state for hot backup Deduplicates within and across virtual machines Reduces resource contention and speeds backups Provides file-level restore for Windows, Linux, and Solaris Control cost with zero-dollar agents 12
VMware Backup Performance Avamar backup versus traditional backup CPU Network Duration of Backup Disk 36 Min. CPU Avamar With and Without Throttle Traditional vs. Avamar Backup Duration of Backup With Avamar 56 Min. Saved From Traditional 12 Min No 1Hr I/O 20 Added Min Saved Full Backup Single ESX Server 12 Virtual Machines 100 GB per machine 5% Change Rate Turn-on CPU throttling and save ESX CPU Minimize CPU utilized by ESX 13
VMware Image-Level Backup Avamar integration with VMware vstorage API for Data Protection Virtual machines Deduplication within and across VMDK files VMware Virtualization Layer x86 Architecture Resource Pool Mount Changed Block Tracking (CBT) reduces backup time and minimizes recovery time File-level recovery from image backup (Windows) Physical server Physical server Storage Avamar Data Store Flexible restore to original, existing, or new virtual machine = Avamar software agent Proxy server load balancing for superior throughput 14
Flexible Image-Level Recovery Original Existing VMware NEW Three ways to restore a virtual machine: Restore back to original virtual machine Restore to an existing virtual machine Restore to a new virtual machine Change the game: Help simplify disaster recoveries using Avamar Avamar Data Store 15

Proxy Server Load Balancing VMware ESX Server Cluster ESX SERVER 1... ESX SERVER N A B C D E F Proxy VM Proxy VM VMware vcenter Server Automatic and transparent Simplifies management Faster backup and recovery = Data Avamar Data Store 17
Integration with VMware vcenter Server Manage data protection and contain virtual machine sprawl Browse to VMware vcenter Server through the Avamar GUI Auto-discover virtual machines and their associated groups Monitor backup/restore operations in the Activity Monitor View VM protection status (guest/image/none) Single point of management for VMware backup options 18
Integration with Data Domain High-speed, scalable Avamar backups to Data Domain systems Selectively back up and restore specific data types to a Data Domain system VMware image backup Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server, Exchange, SharePoint Easy to manage Associate Data Domain system(s) with Avamar Select the destination of backup data via policy Manage backups, restores, and replication through Avamar GUI 19
Solution Sizing: Variables to Consider Number of virtual machines Data size of each virtual machine Aggregate daily change rate Backup window Initial full backup and subsequent Underlying storage read performance Connectivity, drive type and I/O 20
Account for Process Overhead Virtual proxy server performance limits Proxy can scan rate - 200 GB/hr A proxy will only process one VM at a time VMware process Approximately 2 minutes per VM Creating snaps of a VM related to I/O of VM SCSI hot-add Enable change block tracking Additional 10% storage needed Virtual machines VMware Virtualization Layer x86 Architecture Proxy VM Avamar software agent Mount Resource Pool Physical server Physical server Storage 21
Example Environment Production storage volume ~ 50TB Number of VMs ~ 1000 VMs (50GB/ea) Aggregate daily change rate ~5% Multiple DRS clusters Assume an 8 hour backup window First full backup Subsequent backup 22

APPENDIX Optional This Appendix has a few slides on ease of managing backup and recovery in a VMware environment using Avamar s user interface. 34
Management Made Easy Ideal for your virtualization journey from small to large deployments 35
Efficient Policy Management Policy Add groups of clients Pull from tiers for: Different Datasets Different Schedules Retentions 36
Manage Less Datasets Manage per policy not per client Insert new exclusions in one place Have a single dataset for all clients regardless of OS 37
Manage Less - Schedules Manage per policy not per client Choose frequency based on business requirements Force completion so production business is not affected 38
Manage Less Retention Policies Manage retentions per policy - not per client Choose # of days to keep data, or a specific end date, or Specify length to keep Daily backups Monthly backups Weekly backups Yearly backups Set retention based on business needs (SLAs) and legal requirements 39
Rapid Deployment Set Policy Tiers Example: Engineering Finance Marketing Data Sets Schedules Retentions 40
Managing Access Built for Multi-tenancy Choose Authentication Axion LDAP Active Directory Choose User Role Administrator Restore Only Activity Only Backup Only Backup and Restore Only 41
New Client Manager Supersedes and incorporates current Activation Manager Now available for all clients, not just DT/LT Additional management use cases Push client upgrades for Windows and Linux clients Move and migrate clients across grids Retire clients Reporting 42
