Storage Challenges
The performance problem
Limited protection windows
Increased recovery SLAs
The growth problem
Ever-increasing data
Limited bandwidth
The protection problem
Move data offsite
Secure data offsite
Easy recovery for offsite
data
The integration problem
How do I leverage existing
systems?
How do I minimize
disruption?

4
Tape versus network backup
 Local tape backups
• Requires expensive hardware
in every office
• Heavy administration
• Low recovery rates
• Increased security risk for lost
or stolen tapes
 Eliminate local tape backups
• Reduces costs in every office
• Lights-out administration
• Much more reliable
• Reduced security risk
…

5
Tiering storage versus comprehensive coverage
 Protect only “mission critical” data
• Hard to identify
• Changes frequently
• Unclear inter-dependencies
• Limited coverage of enterprise data
 Protect all enterprise data
• Everything is ready to recover
• Go live instantly when you need it

6
Adding bandwidth versus optimizing connections
 Get more from existing WAN links
to every site
• Control expenses
• No project delays
• Maximize current infrastructure
 Purchase dedicated, high
bandwidth WAN links to every site
• High ongoing expense
• Delays DR project implementation
• Inefficient utilization
• More links to manage and monitor

7
WAN Optimization entering mainstream maturity for BC/DR
WAN optimization complements your existing backup and replication approaches, non-disruptive.

 Unoptimized
 Limited bandwidth
• Due to prohibitive costs
or capacity availability
• Constrains maximum
throughput
• Limits rate of backup or
replication
All the data, a fraction of the WAN traffic
 Optimized
 Expanded WAN capacity
• Adaptive Data
Streamlining delivers up
to 50X more space
• Deduplicates redundant
data from the WAN
• Compresses new data
for transfer

11
 Unoptimized
 High Latency
• Lowers throughput over long
distances
• Sometimes congestion causes
loss, which FEC won’t help
 Bandwidth under-used
Filling the pipe , optimizing bandwidth
 Optimized
 High throughput
• Transport Streamlining, MX-
TCP, & HS-TCP
• Tune the network
• Fill the whole pipe
• Mitigate loss and retransmission

12
 Unoptimized
 Traffic contention
• One network for both DR and
normal business operations
• Congestion
• Impacts both DR and user
applications
Balancing traffic between DR and business apps
DR traffic
App traffic
 Optimized
 Prioritized sharing on common
network links
• Quality of Service (QoS)
• Guarantees performance
• Gives you control

Top 3 Visibility Requirements for DR
What systems need
to be protected?
Is the
backup/replication
process working?
Has a disaster
happened?
Enterprise-wide discovery &
dependency mapping
Application performance management
Detect outage, troubleshoot cause,
start restore or failover sooner
 Cascade – monitor DR operations, faster problem detection & resolution

1 Logical capacity refers to the amount of deduped data that is stored on disk. This can vary based on the type of data being backed up. For illustration purposes, a
dedup factor of 20x has been considered
2 Reduction can be expected up to the numbers listed above. Data reduction varies based on many factors including the type of data and frequency of backup.
