  5. Storage challenges driven by multiple sources Line of Business Demand shorter recover times & greater availability Chief Compliance Officer Enforce data retention regulations Need quick access to active archived data for e-discovery Legal Officers Protect data from loss or theft Security Officers Reduce labor costs CFO Manage explosive growth in storage and IT complexities IT Manager

  6. Key Driver of these challenges: Data Growth • Volume of Data • Data is growing exponentially • Difficult to manage and report on • Driving up storage requirements • Data is increasingly distributed • Difficult to meet RPO/RTO • Staff size the same?

  7. Problem: Data ExplosionHow do I manage and report on data protection? TSM: • Built on a relational database that enables advanced features • A single point of control, administration, reporting and security for data recovery I need a solution that: • Can scale along with this data explosion • Is highly available, we cant afford downtime • Helps me effectively manage and report on data protection We need to help you continue to manage data growth and contain costs: • Upgrading TSM database to boost scalability and availability • New out of the box reporting and monitoring • Smaller footprint and faster performing Admin Center TSM 6.1 2H08

  8. TSM Database UpgradeMajor Boost to TSM Scalability and Availability! Enhanced Scalability: • Support more concurrent operations • Eg.

  20. All New Out of the Box MonitoringExample: Server Overview Server Operation byte count • DB Backup • Expiration • Migration • Reclamation Server Operation duration • DB Backup • Expiration • Migration • Reclamation

  21. All New Out of the Box MonitoringExample: Tape Volumes Tape Volume status

  22. Smaller Footprint and Faster Performing Admin Center Admin Center Infrastructure Improvements • Upgrade to new, lighter-weight version of Integrated Solutions Console (ISC) infrastructure • Significant reduction in footprint • Disk footprint ~1/2 the size of previous version • Initial memory footprint ~1/2 the size of previous version • Faster installation • Improved Performance • Reduced time for initial page load and page switches • Enhanced processing of large queries • Progress indicators • Improvements in overall response time

  23. Problem: Data ExplosionHow can I reduce storage requirements? TSM: • Progressive Incremental Forever • Client compression • Subfile backup • Device compression I need a solution that: • Does not require redundant backups • Conserves network bandwidth and server storage • Helps me reduce storage requirements by employing effective data reduction technologies We need to help you continue to manage data growth and contain costs: • Adding Data Deduplication TSM 6.1 2H08

  24. TSM Data Deduplication • Data Deduplication • A data reduction technology • Eliminates redundant subfiles ( known as chunks, blocks, or extents) • Only one instance is stored for each common chunk • Duplicate instances of the chunk reference the stored instance

  25. TSM Data DeduplicationContinuing advances in data reduction technologies • TSM adding Data Deduplication in TSM 6.1 • Reduced redundancy for: • Identical objects from same or different client nodes (even if names are different) • Common data chunks (subfiles) in objects from same or different nodes • Benefits of Data Deduplication: • Reduced storage capacity required for a given amount of data • Ability to store significantly more data on given amount of disk • Allows you to restore from disk rather than tape to improve ability to meet recovery time objective (RTO) • Lower storage-management cost resulting from reduced storage resource requirements

  26. TSM Data DeduplicationImplementation • Deduplication performed on the TSM Server: • Out of band deduplication processing • No impact on backup windows • No need to deploy additional software on clients • Effective for all types of data (backup, archive, HSM, TDP, API applications) • Legacy data stored in or moved to enabled storage pools can be deduplicated • Space occupied by duplicate data will be removed during reclamation processing • Can control number, duration and scheduling of deduplication process • Reporting of space savings in deduplicated storage pools

  27. TSM Data DeduplicationPotential follow-on enhancements • TSM deduplication solution is designed to allow extensibility • Depending on business priorities, possible future extensions to this solution could include: • Option to perform inline deduplication during data ingestion (to achieve immediate compression) • Client-side deduplication (to distribute processing and conserve network bandwidth) • Deduplication support for random-access disk or tape storage pools • Policies to control deduplication based on node, filespace, file size, or other criteria

  28. TSM Data DeduplicationIBM VTL • IBM Acquired Diligent Technologies on 4/18/08 • Diligent has market leading Virtual Tape Library (VTL) solutions with: • Enterprise-class deduplication software technology • Outstanding inline performance • High capacity and scalability • Significant User Acceptance A Large Number of Diligent Customers today use TSM

  29. TSM Data DeduplicationBenefits of TSM and Diligent • Faster Backups • Bypass the disk pool and stream backup directly to virtual tape • Simplified TSM LAN-free to disk configuration • Faster Restores • Deduplication enables more data on disk, more restore from disk • Eliminates tape mount, search etc… • Reduced CPU load on TSM server • E.g. Data migration processing handled by VTL TSM Clients TSM Servers Offload processing from the TSM server Simplified hierarchy configuration Built-in deduplication Share among many TSM servers

  30. TSM Data DeduplicationWhich to use? • IBM will offer deduplication capabilities in multiple parts of our storage hardware and software portfolio • Gives you flexibility in how you address your requirements for data reduction. • Diligent is an excellent solution with TSM today • Particularly in large environments with very large/multiple TSM servers • TSM 6.1 Native Deduplication in the TSM server • Offers data deduplication self contained within the TSM server. • For customers who want the advantages of data dedup but might have a single (or small number of) TSM server(s) • For customers that do not want a separate appliance purchase for deduplication

  31. Problem: Data ExplosionHow can I effectively manage distributed data protection? TSM: • Subfile • Server to Server communication I need a solution that: • Allows me to gain control over my remote / branch office data protection • Helps me consolidate backups in my central data center • Helps me meet my RTO/RPO objectives We need to help you continue to manage data growth and contain costs: • Have Acquired FilesX
