The combined power of Dell and EMC now gives customers tested and proven solutions where the end result value for the customer is more than This white paper provides background information, configuration information, best practices recommendations, test results, and highlights all the customer benefits of new Dell EMC data protection solutions for VMware and Hyper-V. AUDIENCE This white paper is intended for presales engineers, technical architects, implementation specialists, technical consultants, Dell and EMC Partners, and individuals interested in leveraging Dell EMC integration of Dell and EMC products and emerging technologies. DATA DOMAIN OVERVIEW Dell EMC Data Domain systems reduce the amount of disk storage needed to retain and protect data by ratios of 10-30x and greater. Data Domain Virtual Edition can scale up to 96TB in a single instance and Data Domain purpose built backup appliances can scale up to 150 PB of logical capacity in a single system to protect data for longer retention periods. The Data Domain Operating System (DD OS) is the intelligence behind Data Domain that makes it the industry s most reliable and cloud-enabled protection storage. THE DATA DOMAIN OPERATING SYSTEM The Data Domain Operating System (DD OS) is the intelligence that powers Dell EMC Data Domain. It provides the agility, security and reliability that enables the Data Domain platform to deliver scalable, high-speed, and cloud-enabled protection storage for backup, archive and disaster recovery. The Data Domain Operating System powers Data Domain to deduplicate data during either the backup or archive process, which maximizes performance while minimizing disk storage requirements. Deduplicated data can be stored onsite for immediate restores and longer term retention on disk. The deduplicated data can also be replicated over the WAN to a remote site or a service provider site in the cloud for disaster recovery operations, eliminating the need for tape-based backups, or for consolidating tape backups to a central location. Data Domain provides the capability to consolidate both backup and archive data on the same infrastructure allowing greater consolidation by eliminating silos of backup and archive storage and associated overhead. The key that enables DD OS to provide industry-leading performance while minimizing disk requirements is the EMC Data Domain Stream-Informed Segment Layout (SISLTM) scaling architecture. Specifically, SISL leverages the continued advancement of CPU performance to continuously increase Data Domain system performance by minimizing disk accesses required to deduplicate data. SISL deduplicates data by identifying duplicate data segments in memory, which minimizes disk usage. This enables Data Domain throughput to be CPU-centric, not spindle bound. HIGH SPEED DEDUPLICATION The EMC Data Domain Operating System delivers industry-leading speed and efficiency through variable-length deduplication. Organizations can meet the most challenging backup windows while reducing backup and archive storage requirements by 10 to 30 times, making disk a cost-effective alternative to tape 4 Data Domain Virtual Edition on Dell PowerEdge Servers
5 SEAMLESS INTEGRATION DD OS enables Data Domain systems to integrate seamlessly with existing infrastructures including leading backup, archive, and enterprise applications. A Data Domain system can protect the entire enterprise including backup for Oracle, Microsoft, VMware, IBM i, open systems, big data and mainframe environments as well as file and , database, enterprise content management, and virtual machine archiving. NETWORK-EFFICIENT REPLICATION With DD OS, organizations can replicate backup and archive data off-site faster, with minimal bandwidth for safe, tapefree disaster recovery. Data Domain systems provide flexible replication topologies to optimize backups such as fullsystem mirroring, selective, bidirectional, many-to-one, one-to-many, and cascaded. RELIABILITY AND SECURITY The Data Domain Data Invulnerability Architecture is built into every system, providing the industry s best defense against data integrity issues. Inline write-and-read verification, continuous fault detection, and self-healing ensure that backup and archive data is accurately stored, retained, and recoverable or accessible throughout its lifecycle on a Data Domain system. Combined with the ability to meet compliance regulations and security requirements, no other storage system provides this level of protection. Data Domain is designed as the storage of last resort built to ensure you can reliably recover your data with confidence. CLOUD READINESS DD OS provides secure multi-tenancy, which delivers data isolation for enterprises and service providers looking to deploy Data Domain systems in a private or public cloud. With secure multi-tenancy, a Data Domain system logically isolates tenant data, ensuring that each tenant s data is only visible and accessible to them. Multi-tenant management and monitoring enables chargeback, trending, and tenant-level reporting. DATA DOMAIN SOFTWARE Data Domain software components enhance the value of a Data Domain system allowing customers to benefit from advanced integration with backup and enterprise applications, simple and cost-effective tiering to the cloud, networkefficient replication, inline encryption, long-term backup retention, governance and compliance, and the ability to easily and efficiently replace physical tape. DATA DOMAIN BOOST EMC Data Domain Boost software delivers an advanced level of integration with backup applications and database utilities, enhancing performance and ease of use. Rather than sending all data to the Data Domain system for deduplication processes, DD Boost enables the backup server or application client to send only unique data segments across the network to the Data Domain system. This reduces the amount of data transferred over the network by 80 to 99 percent. The Data Domain Boost software provides: Faster more efficient backups: Distributes parts of the deduplication process to backup server or application client - 50% faster backups and up to 99% less network bandwidth required. Simplified Disaster Recovery: Enables application to control Data Domain replication process with full catalog awareness Advanced Load Balancing and Failover: Aggregates transport links for transparent load balancing and automatic link failover. DATA DOMAIN REPLICATOR DD OS replicates only unique compressed data across the network, requiring a fraction of the time, bandwidth and cost of traditional replication methods. With cross-site deduplication only unique data is transferred across any of the WAN segments. This reduces WAN bandwidth requirements up to 99%, making network-based replication fast, reliable and cost-effective. For the highest level of security, data being replicated between Data Domain instances can be encrypted 5 Data Domain Virtual Edition on Dell PowerEdge Servers
6 using the standard Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol. Data Domain provides flexible replication topologies including full system mirroring, bi-directional, many-to-one, one-to-many, and cascaded. DATA DOMAIN CLOUD TIER With Data Domain Cloud Tier, DD OS can natively tier data to a public, private or hybrid cloud for long-term retention. Only unique data is sent directly from Data Domain to the cloud and data lands on the cloud object storage already deduplicated. With deduplication ratios of 10 30x, the storage footprint is greatly reduced lowering overall TCO. DD Cloud Tier can scale up to 2x the max capacity of the active tier for long term retention in the cloud. With DD Encryption, data in the cloud remains secure. A broad ecosystem of backup and enterprise applications and a variety of public and private clouds are supported with DD Cloud Tier including EMC Elastic Cloud Storage (ECS) and Virtustream Storage Cloud. DD OS also provides secure multi-tenancy, which enables large enterprises and service providers to deliver data protection as a service with Data Domain in a private or hybrid cloud. With secure multi-tenancy, Data Domain logically isolates tenant data, ensuring that each tenant s data is only visible and accessible to its owner. Secure multi-tenancy allows for tenant self-service by allowing tenants visibility only to the resources they are privileged to and catering to their needs for monitoring their resources. Physical capacity measurement allows you to capture how much physical capacity is being consumed at a file, directory, MTree, tenant, or tenant-unit level. This serves as an effective mechanism for managing shared Data Domain protection storage capacity between individual departments or tenants. DATA DOMAIN VIRTUAL EDITION Data Domain Virtual Edition (DD VE) leverages the power of DD OS to deliver software-defined protection storage. DD VE is fast and simple to download, deploy and configure - and can be up and running in minutes. DD VE requires the hypervisor to be installed, runs in VMware vsphere ESXi 5.5 & 6.0, Hyper-V (Windows Server 2012 R2), and supports VMware vsphere High Availability and Fault Tolerance to meet the availability needs of customers. It also supports VMware Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS), allowing VMware to balance workloads for optimal performance. DD VE provides customers with the benefits of the world s most trusted protection storage and the simplicity, flexibility and efficiency of a software-defined solution as shown in Figure 1 below. Figure 1: Data Domain Virtual Edition (DD VE) DD VE can run on standard hardware so existing infrastructure can be utilized to deploy virtual protection storage. An assessment tool can be run during deployment to check the underlying infrastructure and ensure it meets recommended requirements. A single DD VE instance can scale from.5 TB to 96 TBs. Capacity can be easily moved between virtual systems and/or locations and can be purchased in 1 TB increments allowing you to grow capacity as the business demands it. DD VE maintains the core DD OS features and includes DD Boost, DD Encryption and DD Replicator. Configure and manage a DD VE instance using DD System Manager and centrally manage multiple DD VE instances through DD Management Center. 6 Data Domain Virtual Edition on Dell PowerEdge Servers

However, in the real world you should expect to see sustained performance similar to the chart below: DD VE 3.0 (96TB) on Dell PowerEdge R730xd Sustained Throughput Single-S Write Multi-Stream Write CIFS 2x10GbE NFS 2x10GbE DD Boost 2x10GbE Single-S Read Multi-Stream Read CIFS 2x10GbE NFS 2x10GbE DD Boost 2x10GbE Data Domain Virtual Edition on Dell PowerEdge Servers
20 DD VE CONFIGURATION BEST PRACTICES DD VE uses virtual hardware version 9. It is recommended not to upgrade virtual hardware version. The chart below shows the DD VE configuration best practice requirements. CPU settings except reservation and limit must not be changed. Memory settings except memory size and reservation must not be changed. DD VE requires Reserve all guest memory (All locked) option checked. DD VE uses open source Vmtools version VMWARE NETWORK CONFIGURATION BEST PRACTICES Below are some Do s and Don ts of VMware networking for Data Domain Virtual Edition: To the extent possible separate the VM Kernel port group traffic and DD VE port group traffic. Possibly onto different physical NICs of the ESXi host. This prevents VM Kernerl control traffic from being impacted at peak DD VE traffic times. The same rule applies to vmnics, separate traffic so that one can effectively utilize all the physical interfaces. This helps to even out the traffic distribution amongst the interfaces so that some are not overloaded whilst others are idle. Please be aware that there are automatic rollbacks that are performed on ESXi when a configuration is not valid. For example on a distributed switch changing MTU to invalid number, or changing parameters of teaming, traffic shaping that are invalid, then automatic rollback of the configuration may occur. To disable automatic rollback on VMware infrastructure, please refer to the following link. For more information on VMware Networking policies, please refer to the following link. For more information on VMware MAC address management, please refer to the following link. For more information on VMware network best practices, please refer to the following link. For more information on VMware packet capturing, please refer to the following link. 20 Data Domain Virtual Edition on Dell PowerEdge Servers
21 HYPER-V CONFIGURATION BEST PRACTICES Below are some Do s and Don ts of Microsoft Hyper-V configuration. To the extent possible separate the Hyper-V port group traffic and DD VE port group traffic. Possibly onto different physical NICs of the Hyper-V host. This prevents Hyper-V Kernel control traffic from being impacted at peak DD VE traffic times. The same rule applies to vmnics, separate traffic so that one can effectively utilize all the physical interfaces. This helps to even out the traffic distribution amongst the interfaces so that some are not overloaded whilst others are idle. CONCLUSION & CUSTOMER BENEFITS Dell EMC Data Domain Virtual Edition running on Dell PowerEdge servers offers a unique value to customers by allowing them to use DD VE software on pre-certified Dell s PowerEdge Servers.
