Adaptive Optimization

Simple workload acceleration

Intelligent sub-volume auto-tiering

• Adaptive Optimization uses all capacity of the underlying storage

subsystem

• Relies on “Adaptive Optimization capable” storage systems with two

user-designated tiers: Tier 0 (faster) and Tier 1

• Supports virtually any storage option on VMware and Windows

Hardware Compatibility Matrix

• Recommended tiering options: SSD/SAS, SAS/MDL SAS

• HP recommends 10-15% of the total capacity in an SSD/SAS mix

configuration to be SSD

• Volumes are configured with either “Adaptive Optimization permitted”

or “Adaptive Optimization not permitted”

Adaptive Optimization

Simple application acceleration

• Tier 0 is always ~100% utilized

• Granularity is a single LeftHand OS page (256 kB)

• Each storage system continuously maintains a heat map

about the pages and moves data accordingly

• A page is moved to Tier 0, if Adaptive Optimization is permitted on

the volume and the page is more frequently accessed than other

pages in tier 0 on the storage system

• A page is moved out of Tier 0, if the page is less frequently

accessed as a page in tier 1 on the storage system

• In addition to access counts there is also a threshold that is used

to prevent thrashing

• Disabling “Adaptive Optimization” on a volume will cause

pages to be gradually moved to the lower tier

(20)

What does Veeam Data Protection Software do?

Hyper-V and VMware Backup & Recovery

• Runs on Windows (VM or Physical)

• Hardware-agnostic Backup to/Recover from CIFS or NFS

• Compression/Dedupe at the source

• API Integration VADP, VSS (log truncation)

Hyper-V and VMware VM Replication

• Hardware-agnostic VM-level replication

HP Storage Integration

• Reads StoreVirtual and StoreServ Snapshots

• Recover from HW Snaps (Veeam Backup Free Ed)

(21)

Veeam Explorer for SAN Snapshots

What is it?

New capability in Veeam Backup and Replication 6.5

Restore from a SAN snapshot through the Veeam backup console

• Point in time copy created by the storage system

(22)

Veeam Explorer for SAN Snapshots

What it isn’t …

A separate product (it’s part of Veeam Backup & Replication)

Available for Hyper-V (it’s VMware only)

Available for any SAN (it’s HP StoreVirtual SAN only)

Replacement for Veeam disk-based backups

• SAN snapshots are great for “operational” recovery

• Very low overhead

• Protection against daily disasters (user deletes data, script corrupts data, system update goes wrong,

…)

• SAN Snapshots are NOT backups

• They offer no protection against storage failures

• Never store your backup with your production data

(23)

Veeam Recovery

How it works

1. From the VEEAM UI, a command to the SAN is

initiated through the API

2. The SAN issues a clone of the requested

snapshot

3. The clone is promoted to an active LUN

4. The LUN is mounted on the vSphere host and a

re-signature operation occurs

5. Veeam initiates the recovery operation

6. Post-recovery, a cleanup command is issued to

the SAN to delete the promoted snapshot

Deduplication – What is it?

HP StoreOnce cleverly eliminates duplicate data to reduce the amount of backup data

to be stored on disk

– Compares blocks of data being written

to the backup device with data blocks

previously stored.

– If duplicate data is found, a pointer is

established to the original data.

– This removes, or “deduplicates,” the

redundant blocks.

– HP D2D Backup Systems allow unique

data to be compressed following

deduplication and prior to storing to disk

NEW! StoreOnce VSA

Software-only version of the HP StoreOnce Backup system, packaged as a virtual appliance to run on a

hypervisor installed by the customer.

Delivers similar functionality to the physical StoreOnce appliances

Currently the VSA is supported on VMware vSphere 5.x (ESXi) only

Key benefits:

Removes the need to install dedicated hardware

Allows us to take the same tried & true feature set from physical G3 single node appliances & apply those

features to a virtualized environment.

NEW! StoreOnce VSA

What’s Supported?

Up to 10 TB (raw) storage (Scalable from 1 to 10 TB)

Ability to create the following StoreOnce backup target devices (up to 4)

StoreOnce Catalyst stores

iSCSI VT libraries

CIFS NAS shares

Fully compatible with HP StoreOnce hardware products for replication and Catalyst Copy functions

Fully integrated within HP StoreOnce Enterprise Manager (SEM 1.0), both for ease of management and for
