• Catalog only gets created when a backup
job runs – reactive
• Finding anything in a traditional backup
catalog is extremely difficult
Reactive vs Proactive Protection

Which Would You Prefer
Traditional Backup Modern Data Protection
• Catalog gets created after install and VM
or application registration – proactive
• Backup Admin creates SLA policy
• VM and application admins can tag their
VM or app to automatically be protected
based on SLA

Data Event: Data Loss / Corruption
12
Risk
- Understanding data loss/corruption
- Reputation exposure
Costs
- Revenue loss due to downtime
- Large expense due to workers not working
Downtime
- Inability to work due to no data access
- Recovery time could equal costly rework time
Recovery (steps to get data back fast)
- Identify missing or corrupt data
- Find most recent copy of this data
- Depending on where the data is or the
type of failure:
▪ Begin restore from disk / tape
• Depending on data set size, streaming
recovery could take a long time
▪ If data is on tape stored off site
• Contact holding company
• Have tapes delivered as soon as possible
(typically at least 24 hours)
• Load tapes in library
• Being restore – streaming restore from
tape can take a long time

Data Event: Natural Disaster / DR
Risk
- Out of business
- Market share or customer loss
Costs
Downtime
- Loss of job
- No skills to help w/ DR scenario
- Recovery time could equal costly rework time
Disaster Recovery
(steps to get data back fast)
- Identify time of system outage
- Identify the correct copy of data to
recovery
- Identify the location for data recovery
- IF recovering from a replicated copy of
data
▪ Ensure you have the right data copy
▪ Begin recovery process – streaming recovery
could take time
- IF recovering from tape
▪ Contact holding company
▪ Have tapes delivered as soon as possible
▪ Load tapes in library
▪ Begin restore – streaming restore from tape
can take a long time
- Bring up servers
- Test applications and data sets
- Provide access to systems
(Note: testing of these environments needs to happen on a regular basis. Traditional methods
are time consuming and usually have a tremendous impact on resource, human and equipment.)

Risk Mitigation
- Business keeps running
- No loss in market share or customers
Costs Avoidance
▪ Damaged reputation (downtime)
▪ Data loss
NO Downtime
- No risk of job loss
- Simply and easily play a role in DR testing
procedures to help get business back
continually with no downtime where they left
off
Recovery (simple steps to get data back fast)
- Operations center to help identify:
▪ Time of outage
▪ Location of correct data copy
- Identify location for data recovery
- Recover instantly from replicated snap
copy (virtual)
- Recovery from replicated backup copy
(physical)
▪ Bring up servers
▪ Test applications / data sets
- Recover data AND applications
(Note: leveraging Spectrum Protect Plus and it’s replication, daily DR tests can happen per
application to ensure remote, application consistent recovery within minutes.)

Data Event: Data Reuse
Risk
- Disrupted by market forces
- Market share loss
Costs
- Missed market opportunities
- Lack of insight into the busienss
- Profit erosion
- Increase IT costs due to Shadow IT
Data Access
- Frustrated with data access requests to IT
- Can’t get access to data quickly
- Can’t get access to fresh data sets
- Often make replicate data copies
▪ Sometimes to the Cloud – Shadow IT
▪ Difficult to keep track of
▪ Violates corporate governance policies
- Once data is obtained, still need to provision
systems and application
Data Access (steps to provide data access)
- Argue with LoB reason for request
- Identify data being requested
- Find the data
- Find a secure location to put the data that
doesn’t impact production
- Find location that has needed capacity
- Stream the “data” to the proper location
- “Try” to track this data (difficult and typically it
chews up valuable disk space)
- Note: This is just the data, not the
application

Backup – Backup Facts

IBM Storage & SDI
• By 2021, 50% of organizations will augment or replace their current backup
application with another solution, compared to what they deployed at the
beginning of 2017.
• By 2020, 30% of large enterprises will leverage snapshots and backup for
more than just operational recovery (e.g., disaster recovery, test/development,
DevOps, etc.), up from less than 15% at the beginning of 2017.
• By 2020, the number of enterprises using the cloud as a backup target will
double, up from 10% at the beginning of 2017.
• By 2021, over 50% of organizations will supplant backup with archiving for
long-term data retention, up from 30% in 2017.
For Many Organizations, Backup is Either Breaking or Broken

IBM Storage & SDI
• Data access from backups is much like the “copy data management” market
• Good News: The Copy Data Management Market is Starting to Go Mainstream1
• Do you need access to data for other business projects?
o Are you building out a test/dev or DevOps environment for agile development?
o Do you want / need a better DR process?
o Do you have needs in the company to run analytics across production data but don’t want to
impact the performance or can’t change the data?
o Do you run reports against production data for things like billing or other real time decision
making?
• Each one of these requires access to a copy of production data – this is available to you
now – simply and easily with self-service with IBM Spectrum Protect Plus
Data Access is a Next Wave of Data Protection
