What’s the big picture goal of DR?

Take all the data you have (right now) Frequently copy the data (far enough away to be safe) Be able to restore quickly (when needed) And do all of the above reliably, inexpensively, and simply

Use protocol knowledge to improve network deduplication Apply deduplication to the data, not random headers:

• FCIP – 68 bytes of FCIP/FC header for every ~2100 bytes of data• V-MAX SRDF/A – 8 bytes of DIF for every 512 bytes of data

RecoverPoint Performance @ G&T Conveyor

Background• National air industry manufacturer• Poor application and email performance• Enhance DR strategy

Results• 20x acceleration in application performance• Easily move 500 GB of data for DR purposes

Key benefits from deploying Riverbed• Bandwidth savings• Faster file sharing and project delivery • Robust disaster recovery plan

“Our massive half-terabyte DR jobs that basically didn’t work, even over four days, can now be done successfully in a day.”“Now, we have centralized file shares that are accessible at essentially LAN speed anytime, and to top if off our version control problems have disappeared.”

George Tilmon, IT Group

Steelheads with MirrorView/A over ISCSI Results

• 5x throughput improvement with Steelheads• 10x data reduction• Meet RPO with multiple volumes without adding additional bandwidth for DR• Allows replication to occur during business hoursWithout Steelhead single volume

Mirrorview with CLARiiON CX4 Model 120• Locations: San Diego and Dallas• Latency: 35 – 40ms• WAN bandwidth: 20Mbps• Steelhead Model: 2050M• Performance Tuning: SDR-Adaptive, default CPU settings• SAN Processors: 2 Storage Processors on each CLARiiON array• Connectivity: iSCSI• Data Size: 20TB

Steelhead with EMC Celerra Replicator

A testimony from an architecture and engineering firm at Kansas City, Missouri, USA

Accelerating EMC Celerra V2 Replication and EMC Centera replication 6 Mbps link between Kansas City and Dallas. 6x transfer rate improvement 6 Mbps link feels like a 35 Mbps pipe replicating 200 GB of data a day

Benefits Using Steelhead:

85%-98% data reduction – Reduce bandwidth

6x Transfer Rate improvement – Improve RTO and RPO

28


EMC Celerra Replicator

Average of 95% data reduction (including full & incremental backups) over a week

Instead of sending 352GB over the WAN, only 14GB (5% of total data) was sent over the WAN.
