1 AvailabilityGuard v7.0 Deployment Brief 5-day Deployment Plan Overview June,

2 2 Agenda Brief Technology Overview Deployment Architecture and Process Deployment Requirements Overview Q&A 2

3 Architecting IT to mitigate risks IT s greatest nightmares: Critical data loss Unplanned (and prolonged) downtime Standard solution architecture: Implement HA: local redundancy (tier-1 storage, SAN multipathing, clustering, Virtualization/HA) Setup DR: geographical redundancy (replication, geoclustering, SRM, manual fail-over) 3

4 Best-Practice Alignment & Configuration Drift App Server Database Software Clustering OS Hypervisor & Private-Cloud Services Compute Hardware SAN Storage & Storage Services Thousands of Vendor Best Practices practically impossible to follow Configuration of standby systems gets out of sync Constant configuration changes in all layers of production environment Some changes violate vendor best practices Downtime & Data Loss Risks Changes manually applied to HA and DR systems (not tested live) Some changes slip through the cracks Downtime & Data Loss Risks 4

5 Exposure Exposure Transforming risk management Configuration gaps between Prod/HA/DR Test / Audit Test / Audit Today Time Configuration gaps With AvailabilityGuard Time 5

6 The only solution AvailabilityGuard Automatic daily verification of Production, HA & DR systems Validates Compliance with Vendor Best Practices Validates that HA systems are always fail-over ready Validates that Production and DR are always in sync Clear visibility into RPO, RTO and other DR metrics (actual vs. planned) AvailabilityGuard helps make IT work ALL THE TIME 6

7 AvailabilityGuard solution overview Complete Production/HA/DR Scanning Daily, Non-Intrusive, Agentless data collection Servers (physical/virtual), Databases, Storage Automatic Production/HA/DR Documentation Automated, accurate, up-to-date Discovers relationships between production and recovery systems Risk Detection and Gap Analysis Knowledge base of over 5,000 known risks Risk tracking and measurement, actionable trouble tickets & reports Complete & Effective HA/DR All the Time 7

8 AvailabilityGuard Gap Knowledgebase Data Protection Availability Management Replication Data completeness Data consistency Process failures Data protection SLA RPO management Data retention Performance Location Insure protection of critical assets SAN best practices I/O multi-pathing best practices SAN security / tampering prevention Optimization Reclaimable storage Optimize replication Optimize I/O Optimize performance SAN best practices Virtualization Storage allocation Dependency mapping Database best practices Data corruption Performance DB vendor recommendations Joint DB / storage vendor recommendations DR Data access Correct access to shared storage (HA) and replicas (DR) Redundancy and performance Host configuration OS version / SPs / patches Installed products / versions Kernel parameters Network services Virtualization best practices HA & DR Vendor best practices Clustering best practices Consistent configuration across cluster nodes Vendor best practices Local / geo clustering App Server Load balancing Deployment best practices Redundancy RAID level SAN Multi-pathing Network NIC / teaming DNS, LDAP, AD DB file configuration 8
