HOLLARD BACKUP & REFRESH – THEN & NOW
SOLUTION
• EMC XtremIO All-Flash Array
• iCDM (SQL Sync)
“XtremIO has changed the way Hollard IT
manages data movement from disk to
disk or disk to tape by completely
eliminating the data copy process
through iCDM.
Long term retention backups now run in
less than 15% of the original time with
no additional investment in hardware
and software.”
APPLICATIONS
• Mission Core Line of Business systems
SQL databases
• AGILE Dev platform
• TSM data protection and long term
retention infrastructureRESULTS
• 0% impact on storage IO for Dev refresh via iCDM
• 0% impact on application performance during backups execution
• 85% reduction in AVG time to complete long-term retention backups
• Zero development/config necessary to achieve improvements

Backup time reduction [%] CHALLENGE
• Daily backup window impacting service availability due to overruns
• Business unable to extend operating hours due to backup requirement
• Month end backup window exceeds 24 hours on certain applications
• Restores from PROD to DEV resulting in long delay in DEV availability](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/mt49-xtremio-overview-841bb540-c64a-4a00-81f2-eceaafd1099b-914978036-161014225011/75/MT49-Dell-EMC-XtremIO-Product-Overview-and-New-Use-Cases-61-2048.jpg)

The DR hosts access their data via snapshot • Production data replication is always in sync RESILIENCY!
- 55. 55 The impact offlash at Moen How did it change MOEN? • Moen have redesigned their backup infrastructure • Moen have redesigned their DR plan • Moen have provided additional full, automatically refreshable system copies of SAP for specific high-profile projects • They are able to backup these “project specific” copies via XVC • Moen can allow for destructive “what-if” testing because we can revert to a known starting point nearly instantaneously Faster => + Smarter Business Agility + XtremIO iCDM is a true game changer!
