6 Traditional Array Replication Active Passive Data Access Host or Application Replication Consumes host CPU cycles Possibly multiple replication solutions Array Replication Same array model/vendor required at each site Corruption Protection methods can lead to data loss if used Nightly backup Snapshot or Clone One RPO/RTO objective for everything. Disaster Recovery testing can put primary site at risk LUN 1 P LUN 2 P Instance A Host Replication Array Replication Manual Invocation LUN 1 P LUN 2 P Instance B Passive Failure Domain

8 Limit the Amount of Data Loss Any Point-in-Time Recovery Nightly Backup: Recovery once every 24 hours Traditional backup and recovery methods don t work Nightly backups, snapshots, mirrored images plagued by time gaps, data loss, corruption RECOVERY GAP Scheduled Snapshots: Recovery once every 3 hours RECOVERY GAP RECOVERY GAP RECOVERY GAP RecoverPoint does work Recover to any point in time Annotate selected recovery points with bookmarks Continue replication during recovery Use recovered image for a variety of purposes Synchronous mirroring between local arrays: Recover image, but susceptible to logical corruption RecoverPoint: Instant recovery to any point in time UNLIMITED RECOVERY POINTS, APPLICATION BOOKMARKS Checkpoint Time Pre- Patch Patch Post- Patch Cache Flush Hot Backup Qtrly Close Checkpoint
9 EMC RecoverPoint for VMware For Long Distance Replication and Corruption Protection Use Case Contemporary Active Passive Solution HA SRM Integrated with VMware Site Recovery Manager to enabled Automated failover of Virtual Machines between failure domains Monitor protected state of Virtual Machine Infrastructure from within the RecoverPoint GUI Integrated VSI vcenter Plugin RecoverPoint Automated Failover Passive Failure Domain
10 EMC RecoverPoint for Microsoft For Long Distance Replication and Corruption Protection Use Case Contemporary Active Passive Solution RecoverPoint enables recovery from Application Consistent points in time for MS SQL, MS Exchange and MS SharePoint Provide zero data loss for Exchange 2010 when used with the Replication Enabler for Exchange 2010 RecoverPoint Cluster Enables allows existing Microsoft Failover Cluster customers to extend the protection of their solution to include site disaster recovery MSCS Cluster Enabler RecoverPoint Automated Failover Passive Failure Domain
11 Active-Passive = EMC RecoverPoint However Active-Passive Architectures have Limitations Failover is disruptive Manual intervention to failover with VMware SRM in the event of an issue. Host Replication Primary array outage or requirement for downtime results in Application disruption Double the capacity, but only the I/O utilization of one array Additional servers required at DR site LUN 1 P LUN 2 P Array Replication Manual Invocation LUN 1 P LUN 2 P Instance A Instance B Passive Failure Domain
12 Introducing EMC VPLEX AccessAnywhere TM Enabled by Distributed Virtual Volumes Provides shared storage, concurrently read and write accessible, with the same storage identifiers, across sites Zero impact to host Applications Supported by nearly all open systems application clustering technologies and FC storage arrays LUN 1 V Distributed Virtual Volume Simplifies High Availability and Disaster Recovery design and operations Enables 100% storage availability LUN 1 P LUN 2 P Instance A LUN 1 P LUN 2 P Instance B
13 The Basic VPLEX Value Proposition Remove Boundaries Between Storage AND Between Sites Server clusters can now operate over distance without alteration Virtualized servers can move VMs, applications and data between datacenters dynamically Infrastructure can be refreshed both locally and over distance without downtime due to remediation/data movement/host reboot/etc. VPLEX takes technologies that were built assuming a single storage instance and enables them to function across arrays and across distance
14 VMware with Legacy Solutions Disaster Recovery Use Case Traditional Active Passive Solution Manual intervention to initiate failover in the event of an outage Job relocation (vmotion) only possible within the datacenter Primary array outage or requirement for downtime results in application disruption Double the capacity, but only the I/O utilization of one array HA SRM Array Replication Additional, inaccessible servers required at DR site Passive Failure Domain
15 VMware with VPLEX Extend VMware Functionality Far Beyond the Array Boundary Use Case VMware features including vmotion, HA, DRS and FT are no longer restricted to a single failure domain VMware vmotion VMware HA VMware DRS VMware FT VPLEX Metro
16 VMware with VPLEX Enhanced DR, Continuous Availability, Extended Load Balancing Use Case Contemporary Active Active Solution vmotion across datacenters for load balancing, eliminating maintenance downtime, workload relocation Automatic Failover between the sites using VMware HA - no manual intervention needed The loss of a storage array or requirement for planned downtime does not result in ANY application interruption VMware DRS for full utilization of compute and storage resources across both sites And with RecoverPoint, SRM is now enhanced as well Certified VMware vmotion VMware HA VMware DRS VMware FT VPLEX Metro
17 VMware with VPLEX + RecoverPoint Three Site (Synchronous and Asynchronous) Availability Use Case VMware vmotion VMware HA VMware DRS VMware FT VMware SRM VPLEX Metro EMC RecoverPoint Automatic Failover Automated Failover Passive Failure Domain
18 Microsoft Hyper-V with VPLEX Enhanced DR, Continuous Availability, Extended Load Balancing Use Case Contemporary Active Active Solution Hyper-V Live Migration across datacenters for load balancing, eliminating maintenance downtime, workload re-location Automatic Failover between the sites using Microsoft Failover Cluster - no manual intervention needed The loss of a storage array or requirement for planned downtime does not result in ANY application interruption Support for longer distances with VPLEX Geo MS Failover Cluster Hyper-V Live Migration VPLEX Metro or VPLEX Geo Certified
19 Microsoft with VPLEX + RecoverPoint Three Site (Synchronous and Asynchronous) Availability Use Case MS Failover Cluster Hyper-V Live Migration EMC Cluster Enabler VPLEX Metro EMC RecoverPoint Automatic Failover Automated Failover Passive Failure Domain
20 Oracle Continuous Application Availability Oracle RAC - Extended Clustering Use Case ACTIVE VPLEX Metro ACTIVE Storage ACTIVE Oracle RAC can now achieve dual-site continuous operation without complexity and ongoing management issues Certified
21 Oracle Continuous Application Availability Oracle RAC - Extended Clustering Use Case Traditional Active Passive Solution ACTIVE STANDBY Vast majority of Oracle deployments employ this protection methodology Standby infrastructure available if primary instance fails Re-start at second instance = application outage ACTIVE Storage Array Replication STANDBY Storage Low infrastructure utilization because equipment at secondary instance is not actively used Passive Failure Domain Certified
22 Oracle Continuous Application Availability Oracle RAC - Extended Clustering Use Case Traditional Active Active Solution ACTIVE Host Mirroring ACTIVE Rarely implemented Most DBAs don t use it because of operational complexity Error-prone, host-by-host management of data mirroring, failure groups, path preferences, quorum disks, etc. Valuable CPU cycles spent on host mirroring ACTIVE Storage ACTIVE Storage Complex cross-connect SAN networking Can require considerable effort to remediate the mirrors after a failure Certified
23 Continuous Application Availability Oracle RAC Extended Clustering Use Case Contemporary Active Active Solution ACTIVE VPLEX Metro ACTIVE Storage ACTIVE VPLEX provides 100% uptime for missioncritical Oracle RAC over distance VPLEX enables configuration and management simplicity VPLEX removes the need for host-based mirroring and multiple ISLs VPLEX doubles utilization because all assets are leveraged Rebuild after failure is an automatic background task nodes come on-line immediately Certified
