9 Why Copy? Data Reuse Reuse Data Damage Recover Data Gone Data Relocate Mobility What is my problem? Production copy Repurpose Test/dev Analytics Reporting Backup Accel. Older copy Analysis Compliance Table deleted Record Overwrite DB Corruption Volume deleted Array offline Power failure Array disaster Data center disaster Regional disaster Performance Tech refresh Planned maintenance What is a good solution? Access to copy of production data of different timelines to distribute to consumers Easy, fast access to copy of good data in order to recover production Comply with RPO and RTO Eliminate business disruption 9

10 Replication is copying: It also is a copy problem!

11 Brute force leads to forced tradeoff 11

12 Other Arrays: replication Array 1: Primary A B C A WAN or LAN Array 2: DR A B C New block written New block replicated All changes must be replicated Arrays at both ends must transmit and receive all changed data WAN bandwidth must be sized to account for all changed data Many customers deploy WAN accelerators to reduce bandwidth 12

13 The XtremIO difference: elegance, not brute force New Block written & deduped Only finger prints replicated. WAN or LAN A B C D XtremIO X2: Primary A B C D XtremIO X2: DR 13

14 Replication savings = DRR=4:1 (75%) New Block written & deduped Only finger prints replicated. 4x faster! WAN or LAN A B C D XtremIO X2: Primary A B C D XtremIO X2: DR Only unique changes are replicated Data is deduplicated at, source, destination & the WAN Arrays at both ends must transmit and receive only unique data WAN bandwidth must be sized to account for only globally unique data No need to deploy any WAN accelerators 14

15 XtremIO replication v/s traditional replication Metadata aware replication versus traditional replication XtremIO Traditional Global dedupe: Up to 38% less storage required globally Up to 1/4 th less data Up to 4x quicker replication Reduced WAN infrastructure costs XtremIO Replication meets your requirements for both Cost AND RPO/RTO Mandate 15

18 Global dedupe = Global $aving$ Many to one replication Global storage savings 4:1 Up to 38% 8:1 Up to 44% 16:1 Up to 47% 18

19 Business benefits: Free the WAN $ Reuse the freed up WAN bandwidth for other workloads e.g. protect/replicate incrementally more workloads with the same WAN costs OR -75% to -99% WAN Bandwidth Reduce WAN costs while still replicating at the same level of protection 19

38 Use Cases

39 High performance business continuity REQUEST We are consolidating many workloads onto our XtremIO array, we must provide disaster recovery solution with low RPO, without impacting production performance. 39

40 XtremIO Native replication Homogenous replication for XtremIO Deliver RPO 30 seconds or more 1000 point-in-times for recovery Immediate RTO and full disaster recovery solution Need more capacity/performance scale-out! Online expansion - add more X-Bricks 40

41 Refresh Dev/Test from Prod REQUEST My Prod is separated from DEV/Test. I want leverage XtremIO FREE virtual copies on the DEV/Test XtremIO array. I need to constantly move data from Prod to DEV/Test array, and I want it to be as close to real time as possible 41

42 Replication from Prod to Test/Dev TEST COPY Replicate data from Production to Test/Dev array Once data is populated FREE copies can be created on demand Enable short gap between PROD and Dev/Test Fully automated using REST or AppSync Data mobility - data migration or tech refresh 42

43 Protecting virtualized workloads REQUEST I want my XtremIO virtualized workload to be fully integrated with my vsphere environment, enabling a seamless disaster recovery orchestration. 43

Will it scale when I am adding more workloads? Will I get predicted consistent performance? Will replication provide a complete solution?

45 Questions to ask before picking a replication solution? What is the protection level (RPO and RTO) that I can get? Does it meets my business needs for the mission critical applications? Can my replication solution support a mixed workload on the array? Will it scale when I am adding more workloads? Will I get predicted consistent performance? Will replication provide a complete solution? Will it supports failover/failback? DR testing? Can the solution provide recovery from multiple point-in-times? What TCO saving your replication solution provides both on bandwidth usage and on data storing? 45
