Linux Update: Summary

We are entering the Golden Age of Linux– 64 bit mission critical workloads

– Functional parity with Unix

– Plus more cost/choice/control advantages than ever

With high-end migrations accelerating, customers require comprehensive data center management tools for

– Complex heterogeneous server and storage provisioning, management, virtualization

– Application and data migration

– Online administration capabilities for non-stop production

Symantec’s products deliver the management infrastructure Linux requires

– VERITAS Storage Foundation 4.1, Opforce, NetBackup, Volume Replicator, and other solutions are uniquely suited to heterogeneous server and storage environments

Enterprise Product Portfolio for Linux

Enterprise Storage Management– VERITAS Storage Foundation – VERITAS Storage Foundation for DB2– VERITAS NetBackup– VERITAS CCStorage

Scale-out Data Clusters– VERITAS Storage Foundation Cluster File System– VERITAS Storage Foundation for Oracle RAC– VERITAS OpForce

Enterprise High Availability– VERITAS Cluster Server

Performance Management – i3 APM

Wide Area Disaster Recovery– VERITAS Volume Replicator

What’s New in 4.1? 64-bit Multi-platform support

Supports both major distros– Redhat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 1

– Novell SUSE Enterprise Server 9 SP1

Supported architectures for 64-bit– Intel Itanium, Intel EM64T and AMD Opteron

Increasing the limit– 256 TB volume size

– 256 TB file system size

– 8 EB file size

– 1000+ disks

What’s New in 4.1?Full Unix-Class Capabilities

Storage Foundation for DB2– VCS Agent for failover (DB2 HA)– CIO (concurrent I/O) for maximum performance

SAN boot support– Most supported arrays are tested for SAN booting– Reflected on HCL

Access Control Lists File Change Log Forced unmount

– Vital for clustered environments Software Developers Kit for VxFS

– Enabling partners/customers to develop custom applications VERITAS Mapping Services (VxMS) File System History Log Enhanced Tiered Storage and Migration tools

Linux Migration in Minutes!Migrate with ease using Portable Data Containers

VERITAS Storage Foundation unlocks your data from your server architecture

Reduces Migration Risks– Does not move any data– Meta-data conversion only– Minimizes downtime– Reduces risk to data–Handles Any OS Level Changes like big endian / little endian

Lowers Linux Migration Costs– Eliminates double storage, no storage overhead– Migrate in minutes/hours vs. weeks/months– Reduces vendor lock-in

UNIX Linux

/data /data

Non-Stop Production: Keeping data online all the time

Problem:

Backups

Network path failures

Extreme data growth

Recommendation:

Online everything

Volume and file snapshots

Multi-pathing

Automated provisioning

“Previously, we had to take Oracle offline for 7 hours for each backup.

With Storage Foundation, the database never comes offline and the backup takes 15 minutes.”

Jim Meredith, IT Manager, Replacements, Ltd.

Tiered storageImproving the Bottom Line for Enterprise Linux

Problem:

80% of data is inactive

Keeping it is too expensive

Archiving it is too drastic

Recommendation:

Move it to another tier

Traditional Solution VERITAS Solution

Is Linux Ready for Primetime in the Data Center?Reality vs. Perception?

All the pieces are now in place:– 2.6 kernel, with 64 bit support and comprehensive improvements in

scalability, memory and IO management, security– Broad availability of multiple commodity 64 bit processor

platforms, including Intel Xeon EM64T, AMD Opteron, Intel Itanium2– Availability of both scale-out and scale-up systems – Complete solution stacks for Linux, including full Unix feature

parity (or superiority) from Symantec, SAP, Oracle, IBM, others – Rich enterprise-class support offerings and joint support centers

from Red Hat, Novell, Symantec, IBM, HP, Oracle, and others– Application & Data Migration tools, including latest Symantec

offerings

Mission Critical Linux = Mission Critical Needs

What are the next obstacles for Linux migrations to the datacenter?

– Need for Unix-class infrastructure

– Poor utilization of storage resources

– Rapid proliferation of data

– Inadequate protection of applications and data

– Limited data sharing “scale-out”solutions

– Lack of flexible Data Center migration tools
