Capacity Growth on the NetBackup 5220

• NetBackup starts at 4 TB of usable Storage


6X8GB DIMM

• Capacity can be expanded in 24 or 36 TB Increments

• When we first expand we add a RAID controller, Battery Backup, additional RAM and a Disc Drive “Shelf” • To increase to up to 64TB of Deduplication Storage, we simply add another Disc Drive Shelf

• Current maximum usable storage capacity is 76TB

• 2 shelves

Disaster Recovery Readiness Enhanced


AIR & WAN Optimisation


Catalog

Fast, Easy, Secure Disaster Recovery with Automatic Image Replication


Catalog

Optimised duplication of image to a second NetBackup domain

2 Catalogue info is attached to backup image

1

Off-site catalogue is automatically updated immediately after backup image arrives.

• EASY – Appliances are AIR-Ready

• FAST – No time-consuming catalog import. DR restore ready in MINUTES.

• EASY – No need to take down production domain for a DR drill.

• FASTER with the appliance! Built-in WAN Optimization

3


Improves network performance by optimizing outbound traffic


Transparent Implementation

No overhead

Enabled by default

Set it and forget it - no tuning

WAN Optimization

Faster replication between sites

Faster restores to remote clients

Appliance-only capability

Built into the appliance kernel


Understand the differences between WAN Resiliency and WAN Optimization

They solve different problems.

WAN Resiliency reduces frequency of

failed backups of remote clients

by automatically re-establishing network

connecting.

WAN Optimization accelerates replications by optimizing how fast the appliance transfers data over the network.

Replication target (52xx, 50xx, or software

MSDP/PDDO) *

WAN Optimization

* Or restoring to remote clients.

And have different deployment dependencies

WAN Resiliency relies upon source & destination components

Both client and target software needs to be updated.

WAN Optimization is available only on the 5220 appliance.

Available from N2.0.2 onwards.



WANs and LANs – 3 Primary Characteristics

– WAN <= 100 Mb <= LAN

– LANs are comprised of network segments under direct control (generalization)


Bandwidth

Latency

Loss LAN < .01 %

High quality WAN .01 % to .1 %

Average WAN .1 % to .5 %

Poor WAN > .5 %

How WAN Optimization Works


TCP

IP

network

• When enabled it intercepts and manages TCP traffic

• When disabled traffic completely bypasses the technology

No tunable parameters. Completely heuristic

driven logic!!!

• Filter driver technology

Complete the promise of virtualization


Direct vSphere Backup


Bringing Business Critical Applications into vSphere

25

Traditional backup approach is time consuming and resource intensive.

Critical systems require on and offsite protection.

Downtime is measured in minutes not hours or days.



Symantec V-Ray

Symantec V-Ray

– Patented visibility into virtual machines and applications

– Transparent backup and recovery across physical and virtual environments

– 3rd Generation Granular Recovery Technology (GRT)


Don’t Let Poor Visibility and Silos Slow You Down

Unified Protection, File & Application Recovery,

Deduplication & Automated Protection


NetBackup 5220 - Turnkey Protection for Virtualized Enterprise

•Protect up 3,000 virtual machines in one appliance

•Direct vSphere backup

• – No proxy server required

•Equipped with Symantec V-Ray

•Multiple types of recovery from a single backup pass – single file, applications, application objects and DR image

•Protect through SAN or Ethernet



VMware vStorage® Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) for Data Protection (VADP)

• Not a backup application–a true API

– Backup vendors use this API to access advanced VMware backup capabilities

• VADP is a replacement (not enhancement) of VMware Consolidated Backup (VCB)

– VCB still supported with vSphere 4

– VCB no longer supported with vSphere 5



What Happens During a Backup?

• During virtual machine backups, VMware creates temp snapshot of the Virtual Machine. Process is as follows:

– Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) provider flushes operating system (OS) buffers in the virtual machine

– Snapshot of the Virtual Machine is taken (Virtual Machine Disks (VMDKs) are frozen)

– Redo log created–all writes redirected to redo log

– Virtual machine is backed up

– Redo log data applied to original VMDK(s)

– Snapshot released—backup completed

• Every one of these steps involves I/O

• Reducing I/O impact improves backup performance and reliability

• Incrementals are quick and can reduce snapshot impact

vSphere SAN Transport

100 percent off-host backups for all virtual machines

• Recommended for SAN/iSCSI based Virtual Machine File System (VMFS) data stores

• VMware Backup Host is NetBackup 5220 (no Windows® proxy host required!)

• High speed transport and deduplication handled by physical system or appliance

• Encryption backup streams at VMware backup host for additional security

VMware Data Store SAN Data Path

= Backup Impact / Path

Local Area Network



vSphere Network Block Device (NBD) Transport

Use ESX/ESXi networks for backups

• Works for all kind of data stores (widely used for Network File System (NFS) data stores and Direct Attached Storage (DAS) environments)

• The VMware Backup host is NetBackup 5220 (no Windows proxy host required!)

• Encrypt backup streams for additional security
