2 Agenda DR4100 Technical Review DR4100 New Features DR4100 Use Cases DR4100 Competitive positioning Q & A

3 Launch Dates The DR4100 RTS on March 12., 2013 in EMEA and APJ and on March 19, 2013 in the Americas. The DR4000 has gone end of life on March, 31th.

4 DR4100 Disk Backup Appliance Purpose built backup target appliance with deduplication and replication Inline deduplication and compression Deduplicated replication Advanced Data Protection Replication and OST licenses included 6TB per hour ingest performance with DR Rapid Data Access Powered by Dell PE 12G hardware Backup software certification: o Backup Exec, NetBackup, Simpana, Networker, AppAssure 4.7, Veeam, TSM, Oracle RMAN, NetVault, vranger, CA ArcServe Protocol support o NFS, CIFS, OST Post RAID storage (controller): 2.7TB, 5.4TB, 9TB, 18TB, 27TB 4

7 Dictionary The dictionary is a dynamic list of all the unique patterns and forms the basis for deduplication 7

8 Disk storage structures 8

9 Data Integrity Features Software Continuous data verification* Existing data is read back periodically Checksums are compared to verify data integrity Hardware NVRAM Ensures data is protected in case of power loss Surface Scans* These are triggered in the event of hardware faults to report and/or correct data inconsistencies RAID6 All data on the DR4000 is protected by RAID6 with a hot spare. This RAID level protects data against as many as two simultaneous drive failures. * Note: Continuous data verification and surface scans are performed in the background so as to not disrupt core backup and deduplication activities 9

12 DR4100 New Features 12

13 What s new in release 2.0? Support for expansion shelves (9/18/27TB post RAID) Replication fan in increased from 5:1 to 32:1 Compressed & encrypted replication between DR4000/4100 systems Support for NetVault, vranger, and CA ArcServe DR4100 powered by 12G Dell PE hardware 13

14 Drives and configurations for the DR4100 chassis 14

15 DR4000/4100 capacity expansion Application Servers SAN/NAS Backup Server Seamless capacity expansion with 1 or 2 shelves Non disruptive deployment Available in 9TB, 18TB, and 27TB (post RAID) Both DR4000 and DR4100 support expansion Flexible expansion options DR4000/ TB systems cannot be expanded Will require capacity license Dell DR4000/4100 Expansion shelf Based on PV MD1200 RAID 6 layout + Global Hot Spare 15

16 DR4100 in the Backup portfolio 16

17 Where does the DR4100 fall in the Backup portfolio? Backup Software AppAssure: Application protection for Windows and Linux vranger: VMWare backups NetVault: Enterprise backup solution for heterogeneous environments SonicWall: Server and desktop backups Simpana: High end Enterprise backup solution Symantec Backup Exec Symantec NetBackup EMC Networker Veeam Backup IBM TSM CA Arcserve Oracle RMAN Purpose Built Backup Appliances Disk backup target with built in deduplication and compression. Backup software agnostic; non disruptive deployment E.g. DR4100 Integrated Backup Appliances Backup software and internal storage in a prepackaged appliance E.g. DL2300, DL

18 Use cases 18

19 Physical and Virtual server backups Oracle SAP Backup Software application coordinates backup Application Servers A Data flows from physical server or SAN/NAS to backup server to DR4100 DR4100 dedupes the data as it is ingested into the system SAN/NAS Backups are retained on the DR4100 till they are expired or written out to tape NFS, CIFS, OST Backup Server Dell DR

20 Disaster Recovery site Backup with Disaster Recovery Application Servers Application Servers Primary Storage Primary Storage Backup Server NFS, CIFS, OST Backup Server NFS, CIFS, OST Dell DR4100 WAN IP based replication Dell DR

21 Disaster Recovery and remote/branch office protection DR4100 in branch office at Hamburg DR4100 in branch office at Cologne DR4100 at data center in Frankfurt WAN Bidirectional 1 to 1 or N to 1 Replicate changed blocks only. Replication is asynchronous and can be configured on a container level Can be scheduled, throttled, or paused depending on WAN conditions 21

22 Disk to disk to tape Application Servers Clients Primary Storage Dell DR4100 Backup Server Tape Server DR4100 complements existing tape infrastructures by offering disk staging Store recent backups (up to 2-3 months) in the DR4100 Use Backup Server to write out older backups to tape for long term retention 22

23 D2D2T at Disaster Recovery site Oracle SAP DR4100 complements existing tape infrastructures by offering disk staging Application Servers Use DR4100 to replicate data to a Disaster Recovery site Backup Server at DR site writes out older backups to tape for long term retention 1 Tape Server Backup Server Backup Server NFS, CIFS, OST NFS, CIFS, OST WAN Dell DR4100 Dell DR Functionality of the backup server
