Designing and Optimizing Enterprise Backup Systems
Backup and restore continue to be one of the greatest pain points in the data center, and to add insult to injury most IT organizations now report that they are paying more per terabyte for data protection than they are for primary storage. Before one can define the solution, one needs to get a handle on the problem, so this seminar begins by identifying the technology snags and hidden costs of enterprise data protection.
Even the best of the enterprise software vendors are not able to deliver comprehensive data protection under a single pain of glass. For most organizations, the winning data protection strategy is likely to involve different product types, often from different vendors. The toolbox includes products such as: enterprise backup software, disk backup appliances, deduplication hardware and software, tape systems, archive managers, hypervisor backup software, cloud solutions, application-specific backup software, snapshots inside the storage devices, etc. This seminar reveals ways of identifying the right tool for the job and devising a sustainable and scalable backup strategy.
Topics include:
- Identifying and eliminating common backup bottlenecks
- Scaling out traditional backups
- The role of VTLs versus conventional disk-enabled backup
- Leveraging deduplication (for what it is good for)
- CDP and granular incremental backups
- Hypervisor-enabled backup and replication
- Life cycle management solutions to offset backup costs/complexity
- Active archives and backup strategies for fixed content
- A simple model for comprehensive data protection
