Economics / Budgeting• CAPEX to OPEX (pay for what you need)
• Leverage economies of scale• Predictable cost
Flexibility / Consumability• Rapid elasticity (ability to scale quickly)• On-demand self service
Risk Reduction• Store data remotely for DR (geographically dispersed)• Eliminate lost tape exposure
Service Levels• Standardized / measured services
• Potential to improve RTOEliminate time to retrieve tape from offsite vaultEliminate time to restore Spectrum Protect server (node replication target)
• Recovery in the cloud (re. WAN bandwidth considerations)
How can you protect cloud environments with Spectrum Protect?• SoftLayer, Amazon, Microsoft, …• VMware VCD/VCAC, OpenStack,, BlueMix, Docker, …
How can Spectrum Protect use cloud infrastructure?• SoftLayer, Amazon, Microsoft, ….• On-prem IaaS: OpenStack Swift scale out COTS object storage
What is the delivery model (private, public, hybrid)?• Location of data to protect / location of server / location storage pool• Who owns and manages the infrastructure?
Is data protection centrally managed across private, public, hybridenvironments?
Additional considerations…• Standardize data protection services• Privacy / security requirements• Backup window / RTO (re. amount of data / bandwidth requirements)
Hybrid Cloud (D2D2C)• Cloud tier (e.g. tape alternative) for Spectrum Protect in data-center / remote
office • Leverage local backups for most recoveries / recovery in cloud considerations,
use cloud for archive copies• Disaster recovery: Spectrum Protect node replication target hosted in the cloud
(potentially using cloud object storage)
Offer standardized XaaS consumption model for backup, archive, DR, …• Improved self service consumption model for user / customer• Standardized service offerings provide efficiencies• BaaS (backup as a service), AaaS (archive as a service), DRaaS (disaster
recovery as a service), RaaS (recovery as a service)
Protect workloads hosted in the cloud• Provide common approach for on-prem / cloud data protection
Cloud object storage as electronic vault (D2C or D2D2C)Tape alternative for older backups or archives
Leveraging IaaS –Server the hosted Cloud
Spectrum Protect server hosted in cloud:• Initial backup target (backup to the cloud)• Node replication target (disaster recovery to the cloud)
Data Protection for Compute Clouds
Protect data hosted in OpenStack, SoftLayer, Amazon,Microsoft, Google
Backup as a ServiceArchive as a Service
Portal offers standardized service• Self-service subscription, monitoring, charge back / show back• Service could apply to on-prem or cloud hosted data• Service provided by customer, 3rd party MSP or IBM
Disaster Recovery asa Service
Portal offers standardized service• DR ops managed as a service (managed node replication tgt)
• WAN acceleration software solutions, including IBM Aspera, offer high-speed data transfer in network environments with packet loss or high latency
• When used with Spectrum Protect, WAN acceleration software could allow optimal data transfer where distance or degraded network conditions adversely impact transfer over TCP
• Software solution would avoid need for additional WAN acceleration hardware• Spectrum Protect team is investigating possible use of WAN acceleration software for
1. Replication between Spectrum Protect servers2. Data transfer between Spectrum Protect clients and server
• Optimized data transfer in situations involving packet loss or latency
