29 Product Overview: Data Reduction Reducing your data storage footprint will help Reduce your costs Less storage = less capital expenditures Less data = simplified management and administration Improve service levels Less downtime = higher application availability Improved competitiveness and customer satisfaction Mitigate risks Eliminate consequences of data loss Respond faster to events and legal/government inquiries 29

30 Product Overview: Data Reduction Choices reducing your data storage footprint Automate data lifecycle management Tivoli Storage Manager HSM Windows Tivoli Storage Manager Space Management Avoid data duplication Progressive incremental (ever) backup Compress and deduplicate Built-in source and target data deduplication Standard data compression Best-in class tape utilization and management 30

31 Product Overview: Data Reduction Avoiding data duplication treat the cause, not the symptom Perming periodic full backups is typically the largest contributor to data growth in a data center As much as 95% of your data doesn t change from week-to-week Are you making another copy of that data every weekend? Data deduplication solutions were created to address this problem They claim 95% reduction ratios, this is the data they re talking about Never perm a full backup again Tivoli Storage Manager progressive-incremental and sub-file backup Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack block-level incremental Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack Workstations file-level incremental Tivoli Continuous Data Protection Files file-level incremental 31

32 Product Overview: Data Reduction Deduplication in Tivoli Storage Manager all at no additional charge!! Tivoli Storage Manager and TSM FastBack include target-side data deduplication Improves recovery times and/or reduces capacity requirements Uses data from any source including: API, backup, HSM, archive Operates as a post-process; automatic space reclamation Builds on automatic data compression & progressive-incremental Applied to data replicated to an off-site TSM server disaster recovery Tivoli Storage Manager includes client-side data deduplication Reduces network traffic by determining if a chunk has already been backed up (maybe from a different client system) TSM FastBack includes data deduplication across the WAN Reduces storage and bandwidth requirements by consolidating backups from multiple offices to a central TSM server 32
