IT Storage Challenges Have Not Slowed
Current IT Storage Challenges
Uncontrollable data growth
On average companies are doubling their data every two
years
Approximately 20% is structured data and typically
“Business Critical”
– database backups
Approximately 80% is unstructured data – file systems
backup
Budget restrictions
Whether decreasing, flat, or increasing
budgets are not
keeping pace
Current IT Storage Challenges
Rigorous Service Level Agreements (SLAs) − Data
growth, economic pressures, and competitiveness in
the global market are causing:
Crushing backup windows
Driving shorter Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) and
aggressive Recovery Point Objectives (RPO)
24x7x365 access to data
Greater regulation
Legal, compliance, and regulatory issues are forcing
Why is Data Protection So Important?
Top Data Protection Issues for Companies of All Sizes
•
Safeguard corporate information
•
Maintain efficient business operations
•
Conformance with SLAs and regulations
•
Recovery time and recovery point focused
•
Drive out costs - efficiency
•
Shrink the backup window

Summary
Data Deduplication Changing Backup
Data Deduplication Benefits
SMALL FOOTPRINT DATA CENTRALIZATION OFF-SITE REPLICATION
• Optimized capacity
• Store more data for a longer period of time
• Reduced management • Reduced bandwidth requirements • Centralized data protection and management
• Mitigate security risk of lost media
Deduplication for Backup − Choices

Hybrid Based Software Deduplication
Backup Software Deduplication Benefits
Reduce Costs
Leverage current backup software
“Inexpensive” and high performance Sun servers Shrink backup window by up to 90% (client dedupe)
Flexibility
Deduplication at the client, backup server, neither, or both
Deduplicate by data type – eliminates “all or nothing” approach
Reduce Risk
No hardware vendor lock-in
Regular disk and tape storage – taking advantage of compression and encryption
Oracle Recovery Manager (RMAN)
Simplified Logical And Physical Recovery
RMAN
Intrinsic knowledge of database file formats and recovery procedures
Fast Recovery Area
Fast incremental backups
Backs up only changed blocks
Image copy backup rolled forward with incremental backup
No need to do full backups

The Changing Role of Tape in Open Systems Backup
Paraphrasing Mark Twain…
“The reports of Tape’s death have been
greatly exaggerated.”
Tape is the only cost effective, long-term storage
medium
Focus on weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly full backups
Reliability – 15 to 30 year shelf life
Drive and media generational compatibility
Secured encrypted data – Lost tape? Who cares.
The Changing Role of Tape in Open Systems Backup
High speed, linear scalable performance
Economical “green” storage – ultimate in data at rest
storage
Data growth make disk too costly and too risky – even
with deduplication
Tape is 100,000 time more reliable then disk (bit error rate of
10
14vs. 10
19)
RAID only makes this worse – more components to fail
Tape provides the maximum in
