What SAM-{Q}FS is Access Direct ftp NFS SAMBA RCP SSH RPC (whatever server supports) Server with Solaris Operating System Solaris File System QFS SAM FS Macintosh Helios KA-Share 2
Roadmap: The Future with Release 4.6: SAM-QFS February 2007 > SAM-QFS High Availability Failover > Automated Copy Verification > Archive Copy Retention Management (Versioning support) > Improved Directory Lookup and Caching processing for larger numbers of files in a directory > Reworked File Management GUI Release 5.0: Summer 2008 Blending into new Sun Solutions > Working with ZFS > Working with Honeycomb CAS > Central Software to CIS > Combined with C2MS, Enterprise Vault, CIS Greater Support for Partners Selling Solutions Around SAM-QFS (Promotions, Pricing Incentives, Field Support) 3
Features Scalable Start small and grow the system Multiple Copies to Many Locations > Local Disk, Tape > Remote Disk, Tape > Creates Many Tiers of Storage Replaces Other Products for Simpler Data Center > Backup, Volume Manager, Layered Software Simple Unix Solaris File System Interface > Users/Applications just write files on the file system 4
Solutions Supports all Industries for data management > Petroleum / Universities / Medical Imaging / Digital Archiving / Pharmaceuticals / Government / Financial / Telco / Automotive / Printing /. Combines with Many 3 rd Party Applications Backup Archiving Data Consolidation Replication / Disaster Recovery Planning Managing External Server Systems 5
3 rd Party Software With SAM-QFS ECM KVS AXS-one Vignette IXOS Asigra Siemens, Agfa, Philips Medical, FileNet, Documentum Netbackup, Legato, Provides: Email Email, General Data Proc PACS / HIS Email, SAP Client/Server B/U PACS General Data Processing Disk to Disk (to Tape) 6
A Tape Library Used for Backup Contributes $0 (null, nada, zip!) to the Corporate Value In a traditional backup solution The library holds copies of files that hopefully will never be needed Multiple copies require extra drives, considerably extra media (1:52 per year) Requires extensive manpower to schedule, manage, organize, catalogue, recycle 7
A Tape Library Used for Backup Contributes $0 (null, nada, zip!) to the Corporate Value In a traditional backup solution Purchasing Life Insurance : You are Gambling there Will be a Data Disaster None of the backup data is of current use to the company With SAM-FS backup, the library is an active part of the storage management system 8

SAM-QFS Provides Archiving Disk Near-line Off-line Backup/Archive/DR/BC/TieredStorage/. 10
Legacy System Migrations Legacy HSM systems no longer have high performance > Unitree > AMASS > VSM (Veritas HSM) > DMF Difficult to move into new technologies ANSWER: HMK Service to move quickly into SAM-QFS and Migrate Old Data Tapes 11
Migrator Possible Architectures Old NetApp Filer Migrator EMC 5320 Backup / Archive SAM Old NetApp Filer Migrator Old NetApp Filer Old NetApp Filer SAM Consolidate New NetApp Filer Migrator Old NetApp Filer Migrate SAM 5320 NAS 12
Where is it Useful? Backing up everybody else (get control of the data protection) Offering archiving (to eliminate need to keep buying new equipment, e.g., NetApps, Celera) Part of Disaster Recovery Strategies Eliminate 3 rd Party Backup Software of all client systems (maybe) Seamless technology migration strategies > Off other storage technologies > Between other storage technologies 13
Content Infrastructure System (CIS) 14
Content Infrastructure System (CIS) Policy and Archiving Services (SAM-QFS) SAN Fabric Tiered Storage Applications Client Client Client Extensible system capabilities to address many different environments Ready to Run Provides business continuity and disaster recovery Lowers TCO for long term archives Satifies many legal retention requirements > Always online archive for rapid access to all data > Deep archive, WORM and checksum capability 15
