The Virtual Data Centre

The SDDC (Software Defined Data Centre)

Info taken from http://www.techrepublic.com/article/enterprise-spend-shifting-to-software-defined-data-centers/#

– A software defined data centre has three basic stages that can be characterized as:

Agile AutomatedAdaptable

Making The Migration

• Convert a backup to a Virtual Machine (Hyper-V or VMware) • This can be done…

– Simultaneous with the backup (parallel) or– After/Subsequent to the backup (serial) (for example: backup on Monday, convert

on Friday)

Integrated Bare Metal Disaster Recovery (DR)

– Stop managing multiple solutions–DR is now included in Backup Exec & Netbackup

– Built into the backup process–one backup job gives you data and system protection

– Restore to same hardware or dissimilar hardware

Resource Leveling

Together – up to 90% reduction in disk IO

Built for Virtualisation

– Virtual Image Exception – Allows customers to exclude all files on a baseline image from scanning.

– Shared Insight Cache – A stand alone server that enables clients to share scan results. This allows clients to skip scanning files that have already been scanned by another client.

– Virtual Client Tagging – Makes the clients virtualisation aware and sends back the hypervisor vendor to SEPM. That data can be used in client searching and reporting.

– Offline Image Scanner – A stand alone tool developed by STAR that can scan offline VMware image (VMDK )files..
