  1. Backing up Steve Busby Advisory SE, UKBRS

  2. How Will You Back it Up? Scaled virtual environments introduce unique challenges • Stringent service level agreements • For both operational & disaster recovery • Virtual machine to ESX host density • Increases resource contention for backup • Virtual machine sprawl • Runaway backup storage growth • Protection of VMWare infrastructure elements • Backing up the data is not enough

  3. Deduplication is the Key • Relieve resource contention • Contain backup storage growth • Enable more effective disaster recovery

  4. Avamar VM EMC Avamar Deduplication backup software and system • Reduces backup time and network load • Client-side deduplication • Daily full backups and one-step recovery • Optimized for physical and virtual environments • High availability and reliability • Lowers costs and risks • Integrated with EMC Data Domain, EMC Networker, EMC Data Protection Advisor

  5. Fully-integrated solution Predictable and reliable system Deduplication relieves resource contention / network issues vStorage API integration provides block-level backups/restores vCenter integration simplifies virtual machine management Advanced VMware integrations Virtual proxy server pooling Flexible recovery options Changed block restores --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Support for mission critical applications Provides critical SLA adherence Extends to desktop/laptop and remote office support Rich applicationintegration --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scalable solution Scale and run the virtual environment as a service Key Advantages of EMC Avamar Solution Phase 1 of the “Journey” Phase 2 of the “Journey” Phase 3 of the “Journey”

  6. Putting the VMware Story Together Data Center Remote VMs (agent only or Data Store) VMware Servers (Via Guest Agent) WAN WAN VMware Server (Via Image Level Backup) Avamar Data Store, Avamar Business Edition Avamar Data Store DR Site • Value to the Customer • Replaced legacy backup environment; consolidate management • Tapeless backup at data center and remote site • Eliminated bottleneck at backup client with client-side deduplication • Improved backup performance with the ability to do daily full backups • Reduced drain on LAN and WAN Bandwidth

  7. Application-specific agent within each VM as a guest ensures consistent state for hot backup Deduplicates within and across virtual machines Reduces resource contention and speeds backups Provides file-level restore for Windows, Linux, and Solaris All application-specific agents are included with Avamar licensing Business Critical Application Backup Avamar agents ensure application consistency Virtual Infrastructure

  8. Avamar integration with VMware vStorage API for Data Protection VMware Image-LevelBackup Virtual Machines • Deduplication within and across all VMs • Changed Block Tracking (CBT) reduces backup time and recovery time • File-level recovery from image backup • Flexible restore to original, existing, or new virtual machine • Proxy serverload balancing for superior throughput VMware Virtualization Layer x86 Architecture Mount Storage Resource Pool Avamar Data Store

  9. Universal Proxy Server Load Balancing VMware ESX Server Cluster ESX SERVER 1 ESX SERVER N . . . A B C D E F Proxy VM Proxy VM • Automatic and transparent • Simplifies the management of virtual proxy servers • Faster backups VMware vCenter Server = Data AvamarData Store

  10. Integration with VMware vCenter Server Single point of management for VMware backup options • Browse to VMware vCenter Server through the Avamar Administrator • Auto-discover virtual machines and their associated groups • Clearly see VM protection status (Guest/Image/None)

  11. Combining Avamar Simplicity & Efficiency with Data Domain Scale and Performance • Avamar directs backups to optimal Purpose-Built Backup Appliances based on workload attributes • Data Domain integration provides access to an additional 570TB of usable capacity • Avamar manages backups, restores, replication and maintenance for all systems Avamar Data Store ROBO NAS DD Boost Oracle, SQL Server, Exchange, SharePoint, SAP, Sybase, VMware, Hyper-V, IBM DB2 VM Avamar Client Data Domain System DD Boost DB SharePoint

  12. Backup and Recovery for vCD • Management • Distinguish which VMs belong to a vApp • Create vApp-specific “groups” in Avamar • Backup • Coordinate backup of multiple VMs in a vApp via group policies • Protect your vApp metadata • Restore • Multi-step process for vApp recovery • Recover your vApp metadata

  13. Backup Create vApp Avamar “Groups” • Dataset • VMware Image backup (Windows and/or Linux) • Schedule • Retention Policy • Virtual Machines • Define vApp VMs • Backup proxies • Choose proxies on same datastores as VM disks

  14. Recovery Loss of a Virtual Disk Perform a single-disk restore directly to vApp VMs through vCenter Verify in VCD interface that the drive is accessible to the VM Loss of One or Many VMs Redirected restore is required Newly restored VMs are imported into a temporary vApp Once the restored machine is present in the vApp, move that VM into the target vApp

  15. File Level Recovery Browse, Click, Restore Single step recovery

  16. Optimized for VMware Backup • Guest-level backup • Provides application consistency • Image-level backup • Supports vStorage API for Data Protection (VADP) • Changed Block Tracking • Windows and Linux, Proxy VM Load Balancing • Tight VMware vCenter Serverintegration • One-step, file-level recovery from image backup • Qualified on VCE Vblock Infrastructure Platforms • Deployable as a virtual appliance with the Avamar Virtual Edition for VMware

  17. Competition in VirtualizationExample - Veeam • Avamar And Networker Can Back Up The Entire Enterprise Environment • Veeam Can Only Back Up Virtual Environments; Customers Still Need To Set Up Additional Solutions To Back Up The Non-virtual Environments • BRS Solutions Deliver Superior Deduplication • Veeam Has No Global Deduplication; Veeam Only Deduplicates Individual Jobs • Avamar And Data Domain Have Integrated Data Integrity Checking • Veeam Relies Completely On Storage Array Data Protections Like RAID To Protect Data At Rest. • Avamar Offers More Granular Recovery Options • Veeam Can Only Recover One Item Or Restore The Entire Application; For Example, You Can Recover One Email OR The Entire Exchange Server • Veeam Requires Significantly More Virtual Resources Than BRS Solutions • Veeam Requires A Dedicated VM And Storage To Run Veeam Features Like Surebackup, Vpowernfs And U-AIR
