17 AIR & WAN Optimisation Disaster Recovery Readiness Enhanced Symantec Appliances Deep Dive 17

18 Fast, Easy, Secure Disaster Recovery with Automatic Image Replication Catalog Catalog 3 Off-site catalogue is automatically updated immediately after backup image arrives. 2 Catalogue info is attached to Optimised duplication backup image of image to a second NetBackup domain 1 EASY Appliances are AIR-Ready FAST No time-consuming catalog import. DR restore ready in MINUTES. EASY No need to take down production domain for a DR drill. FASTER with the appliance! Built-in WAN Optimization Symantec Appliances Deep Dive 18

19 WAN Optimization Improves network performance by optimizing outbound traffic Faster replication between sites Faster restores to remote clients Transparent Implementation No overhead Enabled by default Set it and forget it - no tuning Appliance-only capability Built into the appliance kernel Symantec Appliances Deep Dive 19

20 WAN Resiliency WAN Resiliency Understand the differences between WAN Resiliency and WAN Optimization They solve different problems. And have different deployment dependencies WAN Resiliency reduces frequency of failed backups of remote clients by automatically reestablishing network connecting. NBU Client PDDO or MSDP WAN Resiliency relies upon source & destination components Both client and target software needs to be updated. WAN Optimization accelerates replications by optimizing how fast the appliance transfers data over the network. WAN Optimization WAN Optimization is available only on the 5220 appliance. Available from N2.0.2 onwards. Replication target (52xx, 50xx, or software MSDP/PDDO) * * Or restoring to remote clients. Symantec Appliances Deep Dive

21 WANs and LANs 3 Primary Characteristics Bandwidth Latency 0 WAN <= 100 Mb <= LAN LANs are comprised of network segments under direct control (generalization) 20 msecs 70 msecs 150 msecs Intra-continental Inter-continental Extremely remote New York LAN Los Angeles London WAN Sydney Loss LAN <.01 % High quality WAN.01 % to.1 % Average WAN.1 % to.5 % Poor WAN >.5 % (1/10000) (1/1000) (1/200) Symantec Appliances Deep Dive 21

22 How WAN Optimization Works WAN Optimization Filter driver technology TCP IP network When enabled it intercepts and manages TCP traffic When disabled traffic completely bypasses the technology No tunable parameters. Completely heuristic driven logic!!! Symantec Appliances Deep Dive 22

23 Scenario #1 WAN Conditions Results Opt dupe of 1GB backup from Minnesota to California Excellent 10 hops 54 msec latency <.01% loss Test With WAN Optimization Without WAN Optimization Mb/sec 24.3 Mb/sec Mb/sec 23.9 Mb/sec Mb/sec 25.3 Mb/sec Mb/sec 19.7 Mb/sec Mb/sec 25.9 Mb/sec Consistent 2X performance increase with WAN Optimization Scenario #2 WAN Conditions Results 500 MB backup to Nirvanix cloud storage Very Good 5 hops 51 msec latency.05% loss Test With WAN Optimization Without WAN Optimization Mb/sec Mb/sec Mb/sec Mb/sec Mb/sec Mb/sec Mb/sec Mb/sec 1.5 to 2.5x performance increase with WAN Optimization Symantec Appliances Deep Dive 23

24 Direct vsphere Backup Complete the promise of virtualization Symantec Appliances Deep Dive 24

25 Bringing Business Critical Applications into vsphere Downtime is measured in minutes not hours or days. Traditional backup approach is time consuming and resource intensive. Critical systems require on and offsite protection. Symantec Appliances Deep Dive 25

26 Symantec V-Ray Don t Let Poor Visibility and Silos Slow You Down Symantec V-Ray Patented visibility into virtual machines and applications Transparent backup and recovery across physical and virtual environments 3 rd Generation Granular Recovery Technology (GRT) Unified Protection, File & Application Recovery, Deduplication & Automated Protection Symantec Appliances Deep Dive 26

27 NetBackup Turnkey Protection for Virtualized Enterprise Protect up 3,000 virtual machines in one appliance Direct vsphere backup No proxy server required Equipped with Symantec V-Ray Multiple types of recovery from a single backup pass single file, applications, application objects and DR image Protect through SAN or Ethernet Symantec Appliances Deep Dive 27

28 VMware vstorage Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) for Data Protection (VADP) Not a backup application a true API Backup vendors use this API to access advanced VMware backup capabilities VADP is a replacement (not enhancement) of VMware Consolidated Backup (VCB) VCB still supported with vsphere 4 VCB no longer supported with vsphere 5 Symantec Appliances Deep Dive 28

29 What Happens During a Backup? A closer look at the VADP Snapshot Process During virtual machine backups, VMware creates temp snapshot of the Virtual Machine. Process is as follows: Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) provider flushes operating system (OS) buffers in the virtual machine Snapshot of the Virtual Machine is taken (Virtual Machine Disks (VMDKs) are frozen) Redo log created all writes redirected to redo log Virtual machine is backed up Redo log data applied to original VMDK(s) Snapshot released backup completed Every one of these steps involves I/O Reducing I/O impact improves backup performance and reliability Incrementals are quick and can reduce snapshot impact VM1 VM2 VM3 VMDK VMDK VMDK VMDK VMDK VMDK ESX/ESXi Symantec Appliances Deep Dive 29

33 vsphere SAN Transport = Backup Impact / Path Local Area Network SAN Data Path VMware Data Store 100 percent off-host backups for all virtual machines Recommended for SAN/iSCSI based Virtual Machine File System (VMFS) data stores VMware Backup Host is NetBackup 5220 (no Windows proxy host required!) High speed transport and deduplication handled by physical system or appliance Encryption backup streams at VMware backup host for additional security Symantec Appliances Deep Dive 33

34 vsphere Network Block Device (NBD) Transport Local Area Network ESX Datastore = Backup Impact / Path Use ESX/ESXi networks for backups Works for all kind of data stores (widely used for Network File System (NFS) data stores and Direct Attached Storage (DAS) environments) The VMware Backup host is NetBackup 5220 (no Windows proxy host required!) Encrypt backup streams for additional security Symantec Appliances Deep Dive 34
