Introduction: Managed Environment Today D2D/VTL4

HP Data Protector softwareNow deployed at more than 41,000 customers around the world• Increase efficiency – Minimize complexity and maximize IT staff resources with global, one-touch protection policies• Increase flexibility – Greater flexibility to meet varying SLAs with more disk- based recovery options• Reduce risk – Mitigate risk of growth and change with improved backup insight and new migration services • Without increasing costs – A flexible licensing structure, centralized operations, and disaster recovery included keeps TCO low5

MICROSOFT EXCHANGEINTEGRATION

Exchange 20078

Exchange 2010 versus 2007 (backup related)• Introduction of features like Database Availability Groups (DAGs), provide more flexible and more reliable database replication.• Exchange 2007 CCR and SCR functionality is merged into the Database Availability Group (DAG)• For databases in a DAG that have two or more healthy copies, the database consistency checking step can even be skipped.• Recovery database options.• Enhanced Replication methods.9

Data Protector Exchange Integration Methods• Microsoft Exchange Server 2003/2007 integration• Microsoft Exchange Server ZDB integration• Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service integration (2007/2010)• Microsoft Exchange Single Mailbox integration (2007/2010)• Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 integration11

Exchange 2010 Protection Using Snapshots• Zero Impact backups exchange 2010 server• Database is located on two disks database (transaction logs and database file) rotation rotation• ZDB to disk + tape are executed replica replica – replica is kept in rotation for IR disk array logs replica edb replica – replica is mounted on dedicated server to move replica replica the data to tape mount replica on backup server and copy data to tape backup server12

One click Protection of Microsoft databases• Set-it and forget-it configuration.• One-time backup configuration for Microsoft Apps. One-click protection14

MICROSOFT SHAREPOINTINTEGRATION

SharePoint• A collection of one or more servers, each performing one or more functions: – Web Server • Web front end • No service or data, just serves out HTML • Scale out - Network Load Balanced – Application Server • Hosts „services‟ • Scale out depends on services – Index server is an exception – Database Server Web Application Database • Configuration Servers Servers Servers • Content16 source: Microsoft SharePoint Farm

SharePoint Evolution • scale from single server to multiple servers farm Large Farm User requestsPerformance Load balances web front end servers Application Medium Farm Index Search Excelservers Project User requests Web front ends + application(s) Clustered SQL server Application(s) Small Farm User requests Clustered SQL server Each load-balanced server includes: • Web front end • Applications Dedicated SQL server Single Server User Requests One Server which contains: • Web front end • Application • Database source: Microsoft Availability 17

VSS based solution History• DP 6.1 Release (September 2009) 1 – Single Server Farm support based on VSS integration• SharePoint 2007 scripted solution (October 2009) – scripted solution extending VSS integration – solution provide scripts and documentation (whitepaper)• SharePoint 2007 scripted solution enhancements (February 2010) – Farm in Read-Only mode only for VSS snapshot time• SharePoint 2010 scripted solution (May 2010) – solution supports SharePoint 2010 and SharePoint 2007• DP 6.2 Release – scripted solution integrated in DP Installation Server – renamed to “SharePoint VSS based solution”19

Distributed granular recoveryUser-driven recovery of single items for Microsoft Sharepoint & VMware Unique user-driven recovery20

SharePoint GRE• The main advantage of the HP Data Protector Granular Recovery Extension is the restore granularity.• The smallest object that you can restore with the original backup solution is a Microsoft SQL Server database (content database), which may contain data of multiple web sites.• In contrast, the smallest object that you can restore with HP Data Protector Granular Recovery Extension is an Individual web site item, for example, a Calendar, Tasks, or Team Discussion item.21

Distributed granular recoveryUser-driven recovery of single items for Microsoft & VMware Browse and select files then click restore!28

One click protection of VMware • Dynamic discovery of new virtual machines are done when user selects the top level tree for datacenter. • Data Protector automatically allocates backup policy to new VM One-click protection29

Centralized operations for unified recoveryOne console to manage physical, virtual, storage and application tools• How many tools does DP actually incorporate into one GUI?30

Centralized operations for unified recoveryOne console to manage physical, virtual, storage and application tools• All managed from one console reducing cost and complexity! – HP P9000/P6000 BusinessCopy – HP P9000/P6000 Continuous Access – P4000 SAN/iQ – Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service – Microsoft Exchange DAG – Microsoft SharePoint farms – Microsoft Hyper-V – VMware vCenter, vStorage, vApp, VCB – Oracle Recovery Manager (RMAN) – SAP BR*Tools – NetApp Snapshot31 – EMC SRDF, TimeFinder, SnapView
