- 8. The Journey Begins… Whether You’re: • Planning future investments in backup infrastructure. • Or, you’re interested in the potential value of cloud backup for your organization. • Or, you want to implement the cloud as an off-site backup solution. • Or, you’re hoping to reduce the management effort associated with backups. We’ll Share our Framework and Real World Experience Enabling you to make informed decisions We’ll Help You: • Understand the benefits, risks and value of backing up to the cloud. • Determine the degree of fit for your organization’s backup data. • Assess your organization’s readiness to implement cloud backup. • Quantify which type of cloud is best suited for protecting your data.

- 12. CHALLENGE SOLUTION RESULTS Journey Steps Use Case Example 1: Unstructured Data • Long retention policy on fast growing unstructured data • Maintaining up to 1 PB • Using Backup Software to replicate offsite • Backup costs are high • Reliability Issues • Time-consuming management and administration • Not meeting SLAs • Hybrid Data Protection approach • Upgrade Backup software to support REST API model • Remove tape • Options for scale out storage with deduplication and Object store • Provide Search and Index capability • Modernized Backup with minimal added resources or skills. • Provide All-in-One Data Repository for Backup and Archive Data. • Expect cost savings of doing “business as usual” versus investment in Hybrid Cloud. Identify Business Case for Cloud Identify Candidate Data Sets and Assess Opportunities and Readiness Mitigate the challenges of backing up the cloud Build a roadmap to your cloud backup implementation
- 13. CHALLENGE SOLUTION RESULTS Journey Steps Use Case Example 2: LTR • Long Term Tape Retention (LTR) • Dated storage policy of Retention forever on tape • Maintaining several PB’s of tape at provider • Using backup software to copy each night • While tape is considered “cheap” not at this scale • Drive maintenance • Maintain operational recovery from disk or PBBA • New Cloud target instead of tape –Object Store, Azure, AWS, Etc. • Data ingest services from tape to disk • Terminate offsite tape contract and power down several drives • Easier and faster regulatory response time and potential elimination of fines • Leverage data for business value – search and analyze.

- We have built and commissioned a comprehensive framework to enable the journey in answering the question is backing up to the cloud right for you. Slide 8 Notes Seeking the answers to the question, backing up to cloud has three major things that are noteworthy Getting the answers requires wading through complexity Cloud is not one thing, it is many Leading yourself and your organization on this journey is as important, if not more important than the answers. Complexity of the Answer While the question is simple, getting the answer correct is complex. In order to understand the who, what, when where and why. We need to take into account the many factors: We feel an organization’s readiness is comprised of the following attributes: Security and Compliance, Availability, Data integration, IT Skills and roles, In addition we think and organization’s value can be derived from the following Cost efficiency, Service Agility Cloud has many different forms Our definition of cloud for the use in this journey is Private, Public, Hybrid, on Prem, off Prem. It can be IAAS, DRAAS etc. So, open your thinking to all the different faces of Cloud when discussing the viability of backing up to it. By the way backing up to the cloud is not a silver bullet, Targeting backups at the cloud is not a quick win Taking your organization on the journey In order to arrive at a conclusion all of the stakeholders need to go on the journey to understand the dimensions of the why for a consistent buy in when concluding. This journey will help the stakeholders take ownership of the data protection environment. So many times we see organizations asking for the short cut, tell me the answer, give me the best practices. While we will be discussing what the outcomes of going through this framework and workshop many times, we feel the organization learns more and becomes more agile by going on the journey. And this way stakeholders become enabled, not only these decisions, but are better prepared to make future one. Backing up to the cloud is not fairy dust, it does not contain any magic The purpose of this Webinar is to help you simplify the complex, by sharing our framework and workshop courseware we have developed, so you don’t have to reinvent the wheel.
- Step 1 Develop business cases The beginning – Aligning and understand the business cases associated. Here is where it is important to understand and document the following: Who are the stakeholders, lines of business, application owners, IT, Backup admin What are the goal(s) of those stakeholders, like reduction in costs, avoidance of internal expansion, management time reduction on administration? What is the present state or situation? 20 hours per week spent on backup admin, No offsite copies What is the desired or Goal – reduce admin time by 10 hours per week, reduce Capex during the refresh by 50% Step 2 Identify potential candidates, assess opportunities and readiness. By data set, document the following current size and a project growth rate, RTO and RPO Next analyze each data set for value by documenting and understanding your organizations desires for cost savings, in the form of operational, capital, personnel and agility. Assign a value scale to each attribute and sum. Your readiness can be quantified by documenting and evaluating, by data set Security and Compliance, Availability, Integration efforts, IT skills and enabling technologies. Quantify these attributes and sum them up to give you a readiness index Plot these two to with value on the y axis and readiness on the x axis to reveal go, no go or maybe candidates. Step 3 Mitigate the challenges for the go candidates Use the present and proposed state gaps to develop transition requirements for each “good” candidate. Then determine which cloud model will be best fit for these candidates. Measure the business impact and likelihood that it will occur. Step 4 Build a roadmap Nothing magical here, all of the hard work in steps 1,2,3 will pay off in developing a roadmap for implementation.
- New backup targets Public Cloud (D2D2C) Secondary Storage like Object Store, Software Defined Storage and Converged Disk technology New Data Capture Cloud Gateways CDM Instant Recovery – As A Service Model via Service Provider Mount and resume versus restore By 2017, the number of enterprises using Cloud as a backup destination will double, up from 7% today at the beginning of 2015. By 2018, 50% of applications with high change rates will be backed up directly to deduplication target appliances, bypassing traditional backup software, up from 25% today.
- This customer was looking to understand overarching industry trend toward new architectural models, such as software-defined storage/data centers, As-A-Service, Disk based Backups, Replication and Archiving a PB of unstructured data A Private cloud based solution was potential fit - Using current tools workloads with long SLO’s Replicating active archives

- 1) Evaluate your business cases for targeting private, hybrid, and/or public options. Start your project off on the right foot. Discuss the value of the cloud and identify realistic objectives for your backup environment implementation. Determine whether private, hybrid, and/or public cloud is the solution to achieve them. 2) Identify Candidate Data Sets for Cloud Backup and Assess Opportunities and Readiness Identify candidate data sets for cloud backup. Determine RPOs and RTOs for candidate data sets. Discuss the potential value of the cloud for your candidate data sets. Evaluate organizational readiness for targeting backup at the cloud. Pinpoint best-fit data sets. 3) Mitigate the Challenges of Backing Up the Cloud Select the cloud provider model that best fits your needs. Identify probably risks and estimate their likelihood. Develop a contingency plan for likely challenges. Evaluate the financial argument for – or against – cloud backup. 4) Build a Roadmap to your Cloud Backup Implementation Perform a gap analysis to determine implementation initiatives. Construct a roadmap for your cloud backup implementation.
