2 Top challenges for SQL Server infrastructure There is always an Storage solution suits your environment! Lost nights and weekends How can we spend less time on endless firefighting, troubleshooting, and maintenance? Cost of rapid data growth Did you know that data copies now consume more space than production data? Need for faster innovation How can we deliver new applications and ideas to market faster? 2

3 Different infrastructure and storage consumption patterns There is always an Storage solution suits your environment! On-premise and off-premise workloads On-premise workloads IT born in the cloud 3

9 unique RMC-S Flash to Cloud Data Protection RMC-S Application managed data protection Protecting workloads at the speed of flash - 23x faster backup, 15x faster restore by Express Protect/Restore RMC Backup with zero impact to DB servers, comparing to nomrla SQL Backup will typically impacts DB transactions/sec by 5x (from Evaluator Group testing ) 3PAR Nimble* 23x Faster backup 15x Faster restore Storage StoreOnce Cloud Bank Storage Azure/AWS /Scality Copy Data Management not only to local Backup Appliance but also to Public/Private Cloud in Dedupe/Compression/Encrypted format; Minimal cost and complexity backup direct from 3PAR to StoreOnce Protects both physical and virtualized SQL Servers; 9

10 Is SQL Server Backup always slow? Log file captures all write IOs during backup From SQL server POV, backup window 0 I/O I/O DB checkpoint created File copy Heavy load on storage during backup The backup window will be long Log file being copied During restore, after DB files restored, the log files has to be restored/replayed again, affecting RTO; t DB checkpoint. Backup finished created 3PAR Snapshot Created Minimum load on storage during backup with Express Protect SQL Server log files to be copied almost Zero During restore, barely no log reply; t 3PAR Snapshot Delete
