1 vprotect Data Protection for Open Virtualization Platforms

2 Storware vprotect is made to backup virtual machines running on Open platforms SUPPORTED PLATFORMS

3 THE ARCHITECTURE

4 Scalability with Multi-node Architecture Node 1 Node 2 Node n

KEY FEATURES SUPPORTED FOR RHV/OVIRT VIRTUAL ENVIORNMENTS VM-level backup and protection Native API Incremental backup support For XenServer 7.3, Nutanix AHV 5.5+, RHV/oVirt 4.

5 KEY FEATURES SUPPORTED FOR RHV/OVIRT VIRTUAL ENVIORNMENTS VM-level backup and protection Native API Incremental backup support For XenServer 7.3, Nutanix AHV 5.5+, RHV/oVirt 4.2+ environments KVM stand-alone (comming soon - QCOW2) File-system freeze before snapshots additionally - pre/post snapshot remote command execution on VM Option to exclude selected VM disks from backup Build-in deduplication with VDO Data encryption S3/Azure/Filesystem File-level restore Group VMs and schedule backups automatically based on tags and VM names API for integration with orchestation tools example Cloud Forms

BACKUP STRATEGY 1 DIRECT TRANSFER FROM HYPERVISORS (XENSERVER, LIBVIRT BASED KVM/XEN) Export data over API (XenServer) or SSH (LIBVIRT) Pros: Even single node can handle effectively

6 BACKUP STRATEGY 1 DIRECT TRANSFER FROM HYPERVISORS (XENSERVER, LIBVIRT BASED KVM/XEN) Export data over API (XenServer) or SSH (LIBVIRT) Pros: Even single node can handle effectively multiple transfers from multiple hypervisors at the same time Load balancing Citrix XenServer CBT support for incremental backups Cons: Libvirt QCOW2/LVM based VMs full backup only

BACKUP STRATEGY 2 EXPORT STORAGE DOMAIN (RHV/OVIRT, ORACLE VM, PROXMOX) Export storage domain/repository = staging space on the node Pros: supported since RHV/oVirt 3.5.1 (works with 4.

7 BACKUP STRATEGY 2 EXPORT STORAGE DOMAIN (RHV/OVIRT, ORACLE VM, PROXMOX) Export storage domain/repository = staging space on the node Pros: supported since RHV/oVirt (works with 4.0+), OVM, and Proxmox 5 can be configured to write directly to the backup destination (file system) Cons: RHV/oVirt requires additional VM cloning export storage domain management/setup no disk exclusion

8 BACKUP STRATEGY 3 DISK ATTACHMENT (PROXY VM RUNNING ON RHV/OVIRT, NUTANIX) vprotect Node installed as Proxy VM on the cluster Mgmt. vprotect Server VM disk snapshots attached and dumped via Proxy VM VM vprotect Node VM Pros: No export storage domain requirement New RHV API (v4) used No additional cloning required Disk exclusion support VM VM RHV/oVirt, Nutanix AHV Cluster Backup destination Cons: More complex backup process

9 BACKUP STRATEGY 4 SNAPSHOT CHAINS (RHV/OVIRT) vprotect Node talks with RHV/oVirt manager and requests snapshot export vprotect Server Mgmt. Pros: No export storage domain requirement New API (v4) used No additional cloning required Disk exclusion support No proxy VM needed Incremental backup option VM VM RHV vprotect Node VM Cons: Requires RHV/oVirt 4.2 Requires snapshot merge Even more complex backup process VM Backup destination

10 WHERE BACKUPS CAN BE STORED? vprotect Node

11 THE ARCHITECTURE WITH IBM SPECTRUM PROTECT (TSM) SERVER Agentless protection for VM s vprotect proxy is one node on ISP server - each protected VM is separate filespace vprotect can be physical/virtual machine All of tasks are build and provision from vproxy

12 CLOUD / HYBRID PROTECTION Data Protection in a cloud can significantly help companies to achieve demanded Business Continuity. Provide Disaster Recovery as-a-service (DRaaS) as a part of comprehensive availability strategy Restore VM copy Backup 2nd tier of data can be stored in a Cloud object storage ON PREMISE OFF PREMISE/ CLOUD

13 Backup consistency Base protection crash-consistent backup Quiesced snapshot requires hypervisor specific tools for Citrix XenServer RHV/oVirt file-system freeze Nutanix AHV application-consistent snapshot Application-consistent backups pre/post remote command execution on the VM before and after snapshot is taken
