Cost-effective Replication

What does 80% bandwidth reduction equal?Bandwidth Costs*:• Avg cost of a T3 = $4,000 / month• Avg cost of a T1 = $500 / month

• 3rd party data reduction appliances: $12k - $100k– Base price– Concurrent connections– Data throughput– X2 or X4

MicroScan™ WAN Optimization

• Applications and file systems write far more data to disk than actual changes

• FalconStor solution scans the changes at a 512 byte disk-sector level and replicates only the changed data– Avoids constant re-

sending of duplicate data

512 byte = empty disk sector

= data written by application or file system

= sector with actual data change

A typical 8k write of data. Many systems send all 8k

or more. FalconStor sends only the truly changed

sectors.

Mechanisms to Achieve RTO / RPO

Function Recovery Time Measured in:

Primary Intended Purpose

Traditional Backup (tape) Days Archive & compliance

Disk to Disk to Tape Protection

Hours Faster Backups and Restores.

Remote Replication

Instant Recovery

Minutes to Hours

Minutes

Disaster Recovery / Business Continuity

Tools of Data Protection

– Data backup to Tape or Disk.

– Disk Mirroring of volumes

– Disk Snapshots

– Application-specific snapshots

– Replication

– Continuous Data Protection

Conventional Data Protection & Costs

• Array functions– Mirrors, Snapshots, Replication– Remote replication license– Remote replication capacity license

• Backup & DR Software– OS license; version– Application license; version– D2D license– D2D target license– D2D target capacity license– DR target servers; physical & virtual– DR target storage; license + capacity

Tape & Tape Libraries, Why anymore?

• 4mm, 8mm, DDS, LTO-2, LTO-3, LTO-4, LTO-5 • Network: speed, type, volume • Barcode Labels & Readers •Issues: handling, transport, storage

Continuous Data Capture, Plus Historical Views

• Continuous data capture with multiple options for historical views

• Combine full CDP with near-CDP snapshots– Up to 255 snapshots per volume

Full Journaling: 4 hours

Hourly Snapshots: 24

Daily Snapshots: 30

Weekly Snapshots: 4

Example

• Snapshots can be scheduled as well as created manually• Create readable/writeable view from any point in time

Application-centric Protection

Why is application integration important?

Because when you recover, you want your data to look like this

And not like this

PAGE 13



Application Availability Is The Goal

• Customer expectations: Service = Applications = $$

• Servers, Applications & Databases

• Disasters, Outages =– Loss of Service– Loss of Revenue

• Service Recovery: Much more than remote-copy DR

PAGE 14



FalconStor® RecoverTrac™ Technology

• RecoverTrac technology automates complex, time-consuming and error-prone DR procedures

• RecoverTrac technology allows definition of all IT resources; for recovery– Servers– Hypervisors; VMware & Microsoft Hyper-V– Clusters– Storage– Recover sites; local, remote or multiple– Associated IT inventories at recovery sites

• RecoverTrac AND remote replication are standard features of FalconStor® Continuous Data Protector (CDP)
