HP & FalconStor Announcement
June 2004 – HP & FalconStor announced the Enterprise Backup Solution (EBS) Certification of VirtualTape Library (VTL) Software
The HP StorageWorks EBS certification;defines best practices and solutions for addressing backup
and recovery issues facing storage administrators. includes FalconStor’s VirtualTape Library (VTL) software
with HP OpenView Storage Data Protector, HP ProLiant DL580 server, HP StorageWorks MSA1000 disk array and HP StorageWorks ESL E-series tape libraries
designed to deliver a complete, enterprise-class data protection solution.

Disk Storage Used for Data Protection
The move to disk-based backup and recovery is occurring rapidly, growing to $5B in 2005
“Time to Recovery” is the real business driver

What is the HP VTL solution?
VTL - allows 3rd party backup software to perform backup/restore to a disk-based ‘virtual tape/library’ over high-speed FC or IP SANs.
Emulates a large number of industry standard tape libraries and tapes drives from varying major vendors
The base system has the ability to support up to: 10 concurrent backup hosts 50 concurrent backup or restore sessions 50 virtual tape drives or 20 virtual tape libraries 100 virtual tape cartridges
The VTL can import / export to physical tape libraries The VTL solution can replicate data over IP to an independent
site

The HP VTL Solution Overview

Customer Pain: Time Allocation
Customers increasingly say they spend too much time doing storage operations per week:
(in order of consumption)
1. Backup operations
2. Provisioning storage
3. Managing tape libraries
4. Managing storage networks
5. Volume and file management
6. Archiving/HSM
7. Capacity planning
8. Disaster recovery management/testing
9. Monitor storage array failures
10
Customer IT Challenges
Reliability Issues Experiencing backup/restore failures due to robotic failure or media error
Performance Issues Backup window is shrinking
the fastest tape drive (LTO) can perform backup @ 30 MB/s (with optimal compression)
Restore is MUCH too slow (less than half the speed of backup)
Manageability/Staffing Issues Difficult to partition and share large tape libraries Can not centrally manage backup resources (Tape Drives/Libraries) Need to provision virtualised tape drive/library to Backup Server over FC or IP
SAN
Availability Issues Need to maximize operating efficiency without compromising the investment in
existing backup software and policy

VTL ApplianceCustomer/Business Benefits
Reliability Eliminates robotic failure or media error Active-Active cluster/disk mirroring delivers highest levels of fault tolerance
Performance Achieves backup/restore speeds in excess of 100 MB/s
Manageability Java-based Management Console provides centralized management Provisions Virtual Tape Drive/Library over FC or IP SAN
Availability Re-use/leverage existing backup device Eliminates need to reconfigure the existing backup software/policy Virtual Tape Drive/Library can be accessed over any IP network

Example of Target Customers
Problems meeting the backup window
Looking for faster restore’s for file & applications
Experienced excessive tape media, drive and robotic failures
Need to add tape drives as required
Want off-site tape vaulting
Require a solution that fits with the existing infrastructure
Interested in the overall benefits of D2D2T backup
