challenges around distributed and datacenter file storage by centralizing and consolidating corporate file data into all-flash or hybrid arrays, hybrid cloud / converged infrastructure or directly into the cloud. This joint-solution approach, which leverages the core principles of software-defined storage (SDS), ensures high-performance global access to your data while maintaining enterprise control and security.
Factors impacting the Distributed Enterprise
Today, one of the biggest challenges that organizations face is
the excessive growth of unstructured data and the
inability to centrally manage those data sets efficiently.
Considering that 80% of unstructured data resides at distributed
locations, organizations struggle to manage these “Islands”
of data, resulting in complex and costly IT management.
Subsequently, business productivity is impacted as knowledge
workers are unable to collaborate.
SDS - The ultimate way to Centralize
and Consolidate your data
Talon FAST™ Enterprise Edition allows businesses to centralize data,
leveraging customer’s storage infrastructure while consolidating
distributed storage and IT assets. The software enables enterprises
to centralize unstructured file data and transparently extend
this to users globally to provide real-time global file sharing and
collaboration to their end users. At the same time ONTAP Data
Management Software unifies data management in (cloud)
datacenters, whether it is flash, disk, or (hybrid) cloud.
FAST™ Fabric and ONTAP:
The Evolution of Distributed Storage
Discover Talon FAST™ and NetApp ONTAP, the latest
advancement in high performance enterprise data centralization
and consolidation, and Global File Sharing for distributed
enterprises.
The Talon FAST™ Fabric
The software overlays the Microsoft Windows File Sharing
mechanism, allowing distributed locations to transparently
connect to traditional or cloud datacenters via the Talon FAST™
Fabric. Additionally, the software provides a Virtual File Share
and Intelligent File Cache at each location, caching only what’s
‘active’ while fully integrating with Microsoft security principles
like Active Directory, ACLs and NTFS permissions allowing it to
perform at a global scale, even in locations that are challenged
with poor connectivity (low bandwidth or high latency). As a
result, you enable high performance global file sharing with real-
time distributed file locking for the whole enterprise.
Drastically reduce storage footprint
Talon FAST™ software caches the active data sets, which means
that users have immediate access to the data that is relevant to
Advanced Data Protection Using Veeam and NetApp Technology
The Challenge For years, customers with stringent recovery point objectives (RPOs) have used snapshot technology to protect stored data without affecting perfor- mance or significantly increasing the amount of storage space consumed. NetApp® Snapshot® copies provide several advantages: You can use them for “point-in-time” recovery and create a large number of restore points frequently, without impacting production workloads—even during working hours. You can also use Snapshot copies to protect data in certain disaster scenarios. You can replicate them to a secondary, often remote storage system for disaster recovery by using NetApp SnapMirror® replication technology, or back up and archive them by using NetApp SnapVault® software. In short, NetApp Snapshot technology combines performance, scalability, and efficient storage utilization to deliver fantastic RPOs.
Now there is a way to get even more from your Snapshot copies—one that allows you to leverage both storage and hypervisor-based snapshots to achieve the lowest possible RPOs, harness NetApp FAS and All Flash FAS (AFF), dramatically improve recovery
time objectives (RTOs), and leverage storage-efficient FAS and AFF secondary targets and cloud-integrated backup with NetApp StorageGrid storage.
The SolutionNetApp and Veeam have partnered to integrate support for NetApp Snapshot technology into the Veeam Availability Suite. This integration provides customers with a deeper level of protection and availability across NetApp FAS, FlexArray®, and E-Series storage platforms. Integration of Veeam Backup & Recovery with NetApp Snapshot technology allows you to achieve:• Faster backups. Back up VMware
virtual machines (VMs) directly from NetApp Snapshot copies.
• Quick recovery. Recover entire VMs or individual items from NetApp Snapshot, SnapMirror, and SnapVault software.
• Cost-effective cloud backup storage. Leverage Veeam software with NetApp cloud-integrated storage for fast and efficient backup to the cloud.
KEY FEATURES
• Create backups from storage snapshots up to 20 times faster than competitive offerings.
• Recover individual items quickly and efficiently from NetApp Snapshot, SnapMirror, and SnapVaulttechnologies.
• Improve disaster recovery protection by creating instant secondary backups from storage snapshots.

• Smooth implementations. Solution is simple to deploy and easy to manage with no agents.
Granular recovery from NetAppSnapshot copies Regardless of the care you take in protecting your organization from data loss, you’ll ultimately be called on to restore VMs and application items to a previous state. Legacy backup tools weren’t designed to deal with the demands of today’s virtual environments and the always-on enterprise. Veeam Explorer for Storage Snapshots allows you to take advantage of the low overhead that periodic array-based snapshots offer by letting you quickly restore guest OS files, application items, or an entire VM in minutes directly from native NetApp Snapshot copies. Users can also restore data directly from these Snapshot copies, eliminating the need for staging. In addition, data and application recoveries can be performed directly from NetApp Snapshot copies on primary or secondary NetApp storage (AFF, FAS), helping you maximize your NetApp investments. And Veeam helps reduce the time needed to mount Snapshot copies by a factor of 10 or more compared with manual processes.This time efficiency helps you loweryour RTOs while avoiding human
NetApp and Veeam technologies combine to deliver the low RPOs enabled by NetApp Snapshot technology with the fast RTOs delivered by Veeam Backup & Replication. Veeam backup from storage snapshots transforms NetApp Snapshot copies into backups for quick VM recovery and efficient file-level recovery in VMware environments. Data is read directly from NetApp Snapshot copies without the need for VMFS resignaturing, temporary VM registration, host cleanup, or “proxying” of the VMware ESXi server. Veeam does this by leveraging VMware vSphere Changed Block Tracking (CBT), allowing snapshot-derived backups to be created quickly—up to 20 times faster than competitive offerings. What’s more, you can replicate these Snapshot copies to secondary storage systems, whether local or remote, by using SnapMirrorand/or SnapVault. This approach provides customers with the shortest possible backup windows, lowest impact on production VMs, and maximum RPO.
errors that can occur during critical recovery steps such as mounting Snapshot copies. The process is simple: Just a few clicks from the Backup & Replication interface are all it takes to restore your data.
A complete, effective data protection solution One of the best ways to protect data is to follow the “3-2-1” rule- keep three copies of your data stored on two sets of media with at least one copy stored off site. Veeam provides an easy and efficient way for system administrators to implement a comprehensive data protection strategy. Veeam Backup Snapshot Vaulting creates primary and secondary backups directly from NetApp Snapshot copies—Instantly storing one of the backup copies in SnapVault. To do this, Veeam Backup & Replication first creates an application-aware VM snapshot copy followed by a storage snapshot copy.
