The Copy overkill
Capacity
Time Primary Data
Copy Data
Chart shows a growth
rate of 30%
Each byte of primary data
easily causes 25 bytes
of copies
Copies trigger 85%
of HW spending
Almost all copies sit idle

Do I need backup? I have storage cluster
Virus
Wrong patch
Admin or user error
Software error
80% of Unplanned downtime
goes along with data corruption
High Availability protects you against hardware failure,
but not against data corruption.

The Backup Reality
What will you do in case you need a backup?
Only 50% of SMBs make daily backups
Only 30% make VM backups
Death after a disaster: 25 – 45%
50% No backup strategy
7 Copyright 2015 FUJITSU
Backup Considerations
A backup is a copy with a time stamp
How many recover points do I need? How much data loss am I willing to accept?
What is my Recovery Point Objective (RPO)?
How fast do I need my services to be available again?
What is my Recovery Time Objective (RTO)?
How disaster resilient do I need to be?
(how many remote copies do I need and how far away should they be?)
How much am I ready to pay for my insurance?
How many copies? At what location? On what media?
8 Copyright 2015 FUJITSU
Are all those copies really copies?
Test/Dev: Copies

COPY?
9 Copyright 2015 FUJITSU
Wouldn’t it be nice, if …
You would have exactly
the number of copies
you really need,
and only as long
as you need them?
Provisioning a copy
would be self service,
fast and easy?
All copies could be
managed centrally,
with one easy to use
GUI?

The answer
Data De-Duplication
and Data Protection
Infrastructure They are not all the same
Smart use
of Snapshots
and Replication
Concept wins
over tools If you don’t know your
Target, there is no
shortest way
to get there

12 Copyright 2015 FUJITSU
You need Data Protection Infrastructure – but
Increase the ROI of your Data
Protection Infrastructure by
increasing the value
of your copies
Reduce your Data Protection
Infrastructure by creating just
the number of copies you need
Do you really need every
copy you generate today?
How much primary storage are
you using for snapshots? Any Flash?
How many copies
do you need off-site?
What else can you do with those
secondary copies of data?
Analytics? Enable test/development
without affecting production?
Could anybody else benefit
from read-only access to
a copy of the data?

ETERNUS CS Backup Appliances
Integrated appliance incl. backup SW
ETERNUS CS200c S2
Includes Commvault software and licenses
For disk backup and file archiving
Deduplication, replication functionality
ETERNUS CS8000
Unified data protection platform for disk, tape and cloud
Complete consolidation and virtualization of backup IT
Unmatched scale-out scalability up to 22 PB
Leading DR and HA technology
ETERNUS CS800 S6
Easy to use backup to disk appliances
Deduplication, replication functionality
Modular scalability
Target appliance SW independent
14 Copyright 2015 FUJITSU
Checkmarks for Data Deduplication
Perfect HW configuration for highest performance at lowest cost
– Benefits of the Appliance form factor
Variable Bit Length – The most efficient way with superior Dedup factor
High Availability for Dedup – only with more than one node
Inline – immediate start of replication, use the full capacity
Is my data suitable for Dedup? (e.g. encrypted data is not)
Dedup as part of backup software (one vendor strategy) or backup software independent?

But they
typically lack
It all starts with a snapshot
Immediately available
“version” of productive
data, very space efficient
Disk arrays are capable
of producing snapshots
A catalog – you soon lose control
Deep application integration
– without that, it is not usable for restore
Process automation – leads to OPEX issues
Independence of a single product
Write access – that is good enough
for back up, but not usable for test/dev
You get
all that
by adding
ETERNUS
Snapshot
Manager
(ESM)
17 Copyright 2015 FUJITSU
Adding all that to array based snapshots: ESM

Create a snapshot using ESM
These snapshots can be mounted from any server,
to be used for test/dev, analytics, etc.
DX supports read AND write on snapshots.
E.g. You could test an Oracle update before you go live
If you want to free the source DX, you can create a clone.
That provides highest performance
The snapshot can be accessed by any Backup Application
and can be written to any target (CS, cloud, S3, CD)
Near CDP: One snapshot every 15 minutes
Live test of retired applications possible
19 Copyright 2015 FUJITSU
Two flavors of end-to-end copy management
Snapshot on DX,
triggered by ESM
Any Backup Software
reads the snapshot
and writes a backup
ESM + Backup
SW on server
To a target,
e.g. CS800, CS8000
ESM +
Backup

CS200
Snapshot on DX,
triggered by ESM
CS200 contains ESM and
Simpana, reads the snapshot,
writes it to local disk and/or
replication target, cloud
Or a large target like CS8000

ESM/CS200 and ETERNUS CS8000
Commvault …
Why do I need a CS8000?
… uses a single index engine,
single pass data movement and
a single storage repository for
backup and archiving consoli-

Purpose-Built Backup Appliance (PBBA)
Monolythic targets are single points
of failure. If one fails you can’t restore
its data. And they are performance
bottlenecks
Using a large file pool
at the backend. CS8000
ViNS provides such a
dramatically scalable and
fast pool. Single Media
Agent failures are no
issue any more.

Less DB licenses, reduced backup times, making archiving
cheap and easy
Developers have fast and easy access to real,
up to date data: better apps, faster available
It is fast and easy to test changes, e.g. patches and updates:

„Fujitsu’s customer service is simply
better than the other providers.“
Maintain a permanent backup of the SAP database
Cope with future expansion (acquisitions)
DX + ESM + SEP + CS800
A consistent snapshot every 30 min.
“The main reason behind our decision to invest
in the Fujitsu ETERNUS technology was that it
enables us to quickly resume productivity
after an IT failure”, says Zimmermann, Head of IT,
Stechert Stahlrohrmöbel GmbH. “Before, we would
lose whole days’ worth of data, or really struggle to
find it. Now it is max 30 min.”
