Agenda• Storage Integrated Data Protection

• Enterprise Copy Data Management for Primary and Protection Storage

• Customer Environment with ProtectPoint and Enterprise Copy Data Management

• Demonstration of Enterprise Copy Data Management

Storage Integrated Data Protection for Applications


Storage integrated data protection: ProtectPoint

Integrate VMAX and/or XtremIO with Data Domain:

20x faster backup

10x faster restore

Eliminate impact on application

Eliminate copy sprawl

Reduce cost and complexity


• Oracle, SAP, IBM DB2, SQL and Exchange as well as file system integration

• File system integration – LUN level

Native application integration

(for other apps)

When App and Protection workflows diverge your infrastructure gets complex, you lose control of data and you get too many copies.

• Data management for the modern data center

Enterprise Copy Data Management

COPY AND STORAGE ASSET DISCOVERY• Build an Inventory of Protectable and “Protect To” Storage Objects• Creates a Catalog of Copies Created by ProtectPoint, SnapVX and XVC• Knows How Many, Where and How Long Copies have Been Around

PROTECTION SERVICE PROVISIONING• Accept user-defined Retention Compliance SLOs to create a Service Plan Catalog• Assign Service Plans to Primary and Protection Storage Assets • Set-Up and Tear Down ProtectPoint Configurations Based on Service Plan Parameters

CUT RISK AND DRIVE PROTECTION EFFICIENCIES• Make Sure The App Admins are Retaining the Copies You Need for Compliance.• Figure Out When The App Admins are Making Too Many Copies to Free Up Space.• Introduced Tiered Protection Service SLOs and Show-Back to Trim Budget.

How many copies do I have? Where are they? How long have they been there?

Build a service catalog. Assign a service plan to your assets and provision protection services.

Only keep what you need without compromising SLO compliance.


Add inventory sources• VMAX SMI-S• XtremIO Management Server• Data Domain Management Center

Find storage assets• Storage arrays (VMAX3, XtremIO, Data Domain)• Objects on those arrays• Basic meta-data for context• Organize and categorize assets

Find copies• VMAX SnapVX• XtremIO XVC• ProtectPoint Backups

• Take an inventory of the storage environment

Export and Recovery• Export for re-use

– Makes the PIT copy available to a host› Ensures that the copy exists on a device

that is masked properly

• Recovery– Rollback production from ProtectPoint

copy– Export for Re-use ProtectPoint copy

• Any copy is available for re-use– Snapshots and ProtectPoint/VMAX

copies exported from primary storage– ProtectPoint/XtremIO copies exported

directly from the Data Domain– eCDM does not have to have created

the copy in order to export it


Under the Hood• Ships as OVA

– Supporting vSphere 5.5+– Running SLES 12 SP2– 600 Gb hard disk– 16 Gb RAM– 4 CPU

• Many Backend Services Based on Open Source– Catalog – Elastic Search– Workflow – Activiti– Scheduler – Quartz– API Docs – Swagger– Install Automation – Puppet– Message Bus - RabbitMQ– Others

• Modern Web-based UI– AngularJS– Node.js– html5

Customer Environment: CentraCare Health


• Not-for-profit health care system• 6 Hospitals• 19 Clinics• 6 Nursing Homes


• Goal: Reduce EPIC production (health care app) DB backup & restore times

• DB is 9TB, and growing

• Storage is on XtremIO

• LVM striping across the vols for the DB (4, 4TB volumes), on a single VG

• Support Linux and XFS file system

• Support VMware with VM raw device mapping (RDM)

• Design Considerations

Requirements

• Extending a volume (LUN) vs adding a volume
