Dynamic Infrastructure



Why Dynamic Infrastructure?

Financial PressureGet more from existing assets and new investments.Prove value of investments.Demonstrate value to the business.

User PressureOn demand services, zero downtime.IT should enable and always be available.

Internal IT PressureKeep lights on and drive innovation.Focus on fast service deployment so as not to hamper business growth.

IT


Achieving a Dynamic Infrastructure

• The path is difficult

– Legacy challenge• In fast growth periods IT is built quickly with limited focus on cost efficiency or agility• Now dealing with significant technology shifts

– Emergence of new platforms i.e. virtualisation, cloud • Provides more infrastructure flexibility but adds a layer of complexity • Support for both physical and virtual environments adds to challenges

– Cost and time involved in infrastructure management• Re-provisioning servers, desktop management, disaster recovery• Learning new server, storage and virtualisation platforms is expensive

– Compliance• New requirements on data accessibility • Archiving


Top IT Concerns

• Robust disaster recovery• Ability to deal quickly with infrastructure issues• Easier management of smaller business continuity needs• Understand value of new technologies • Deliver services to meet user needs and expectations• Improve efficiency and reduce operational cost of IT


The Day-to-Day Reality

Typical questions

• How can I replace a physical server because it is no longer performing optimally?

• How can I allocate more disk space or processing power to a cluster?

• What happens if the entire data centre needs to be moved to a different location?

• How can I get maximum return on investment from my existing infrastructure?

• How can I migrate data across disparate systems?

• How can I protect and recover systems in the event of disaster?

• How can I do all this with minimal disruption to users?



Double-Take’s Approach

• Focus on workload optimisation– Decouple workload from infrastructure– Run workload on any part of the infrastructure

• Harness our strengths– Platform and application independent– Byte-level replication and server provisioning

• Technology from acquisitions– TimeSpring – CDP and granular recovery– emBoot – iSCSI SAN and booting from SAN


Benefits to the IT Organisation

• Move data across locations– Geographically dispersed data centres– From and to any part of the infrastructure

• Across any platform– Technology agnostic– Regardless of virtual or physical make-up

• Greater manageability– Manage workloads across server and storage platforms – Flexibility to move workloads when needed

• For any purpose– Migration, high availability and disaster recovery – Provisioning new server and desktop environments


Benefits to the Organisation?

• Increase responsiveness of IT to the business– Accelerate migration projects - minutes versus hours– Provision new infrastructures quickly - desktop and server– Free up IT time to focus on strategic initiatives

• Reduce IT OpEX and CapEX – Get more from existing server and storage environments– Reduce infrastructure investments; re-use existing hardware– Reduce cost of IT support

• Strong protection over IT estate– Real-time data and system state protection– Failover of application or entire servers– Enhanced backup solutions



New Solutions

• Workload Portability– Fast, easy migration for physical and virtual environments

• Workload Flexibility– Easily manage IT workloads by running them from and iSCSI SAN

• Workload Availability– Ensure the availability of workloads with real-time replication and failover

• Workload Backup – Continuous full-server backup and recovery



Workload Portability

– Workload Migration• In real-time while users are online and with only minutes of downtime• Between dissimilar hardware, storage and virtualisation platforms

– Cross-Site Migration• In real-time across any IP network and over any distance• Three levels of data compression and scheduled bandwidth limiting capabilities

– Save Time, Save Money• Migrate data during normal business hours• Eliminate costly downtime of business critical servers during migration

Workload Portability



Workload Flexibility

– Efficient, Inexpensive Storage• Bridge disparate storage systems• Turn any Windows server into an iSCSI SAN• Eliminate costly HBAs or fibre channel networks

– Boot desktops and servers from SAN• Centralise images by booting from SAN rather than directed attached storage• Centrally manage a single workload image that is used by multiple systems• Centrally protect and secure data in a data

– Reduce Costs, Provision quickly• Rapid ROI, reduce cost of managing desktops by 40%• Reduce the cost of provisioning servers• Reduce storage costs and get more from existing infrastructure

Workload Availability

– Maintain High Availability• Workloads may be failed over in the same site or across sites• Failover transactional databases or front-end applications, data and system-state

– Cross-System Failover• Failover workloads between dissimilar hardware or platforms• Between physical and virtual platforms

– Faster recovery, non-intrusive to users• Workload failover allows availability within minutes, not hours• Real-time replication provides minimal planned or unplanned downtime


Workload Availability

• High Availability Provide LAN or WAN failover

Maximise user productivity and minimise data loss • Data Protection Options

Real-time asynchronous replication Byte level bandwidth friendly data movement

• Recovery Options Automated monitoring / failover Application or full server failover

• Application Independent Provide failover for ALL windows applications

Application module for core applications• Hardware Independent

Replicate between dissimilar storage Failover between dissimilar servers or virtualisation platforms

• Cost Effective Works with existing infrastructure

Reduces costs associated with planned downtime



Workload Protection

– Real-Time Backup and Recovery• Replicate workloads across any IP network, across any distance• Replicate only byte-level changes for efficient bandwidth use

– System-State Backup and Recovery• Recover workloads to dissimilar hardware or between physical and virtual servers• On-demand workload recovery by automatically provisioning virtual machines

– Quickly recover workloads from ANY point-in-time • Set recovery time frames and recovery points• Rapid recovery of files, emails or servers

– Cost effective• Works with existing infrastructure and has low TCO• Rapid ROI
