1.Storage Overview And Architecture

2.Enterprise Network Storage Architecture

3.Direct Attached Storage(DAS)
Low Cost Solution
 
  Simple to Configure

  De-Centralized Storage

  No Storage Consolidation

  No High Availability

  Low Performance

4.Network Attached Storage(NAS)
Heterogeneous Environment
 
  Centralized Storage

  Low Performance

  Limited scalability

  Network Congestion during backups & Restore

  Ethernet Limitations

5.Storage Area Network
Heterogeneous environment

  Centralized Storage Management

  High Degree of Fault Tolerance

  Best and superior performance

  Storage Consolidation

  Fast and efficient backups and restores

  Dynamic Scalability

  Expensive solution for small setups

6.Typical usage

7.Mid-Range Storage  Features
Excellent ease of use
• Virtualization
• Dynamic virtual disk expansion
• Business Copy functions
• Continuous Access functions
• High availability features
• High, middle*, and low models and configurations
• Multiple operating system support
• Single pathing support for all operating systems
• Coexistence with heterogeneous configurations

8.Product Positioning

9.BACKUP SOFTWARE

10.Architecture Components

11.Client-Server Modules

12.Inter-process Communication (IPC)

13.Relative Performance

14.Features
Features  Required in any Backup software
Advanced backup to disk
Oracle/SAP  Integrations
Zero Downtime Backup
Split mirror
Snapshot
Snapclone
Filesystem / application backup on inactive MC/SG node

15.Overview – Advanced backup to disk
Why backup to disk?
Benefits
Fast random access allowing:
Fast single file restore
Space efficient backup
Instant recovery
e.g. switching for recovery instead of restoring data from tape
Faster restore of backup chains
No tape streaming problems
Ideal for RAID 5
Easy to detect disk failures
More protected, e.g. it’s not easy to steal a disk

16.Advantages of ZDB
The advantages of using Data Protector Oracle ZDB integration are the following:
• ZDB reduces the performance degradation of the application system.
• The tablespaces are in backup mode (online backup) or the database is shut down (offline backup) only during the short period required to create a replica (split the mirror disks or create snapshots).
• The time to create a replica is significantly reduced. Following its creation, tape backup can be created on the copied data, at leisure , using a separate backup system.
The Data Protector Oracle ZDB integration offers online and offline backup of your Oracle Server System (application system).

17.BACKUP CONCEPT-SPLIT MIRROR BACKUP

19.Backup Software and Storage Integration Concept

20.RISS
Introducing… HP StorageWorks Reference Information Storage System What is RISS is and who wants it?

21.The HP StorageWorks Reference Information Storage System (RISS)
A cornerstone of HP ILM (Information Lifecycle Management )
A fully integrated and uniquely scalable system for access to reference information that…
…reduces Total cost of Ownership, mitigates risk and turns data into information

22.Scale is the Problem
As the number of information objects grows…
cost of management increases
accessibility to the information decreases

23.What is FSE?
HP StorageWorks File System Extender (FSE) is new-generation data management software that is part of the HP Information Lifecycle Management portfolio.
 Enables automatic and transparent data movement between production (primary) storage media and secondary storage media, using simple user-defined rules.

24.Changing digital storage demands

25.FSE Basics
Based on Client/Server architecture.
 Infinite File System
 FSE software supports LTO drive technologies for
LTO Ultrium 1 and LTO Ultrium 2 media.
 WORM Support.
 Automatic error detection
 FSE automatically detects drive and media hardware errors.
 NFS & CIFS support

26.Managing storage spaces

27.MSA/EVA & FSE

28.What is the EFS WAN Accelerator?

33.Where is the Pain ?
Under-utilized assets
Storage infrastructure
IT staff
Cost of heterogeneous management is expensive and inefficient
Application down time issues angers the customer
Troubleshooting is time consuming
Help desks are flooded
Server consolidation/data center moves drives the budget
On-going justification of the budget
What happened to all the storage?
Why do we need more now? When again?

34.How do you manage increasing storage capacity with flat or shrinking IT headcount?
Do you have a SAN?  Can you tell what the impact of a lost SAN element will be on your applications and users?
How do you keep your staff trained on a wide range of device-specific element managers and tactical SRM tools that, right now, only add complexity?
Do you want to replace the whiteboards and spreadsheets you’re currently using for SAN management with something that is more scalable and reliable?
How do you avoid vendor lock-in and heavy, proprietary agents that come with other solutions?
Can you provision storage in real time to support new applications and projects?
How do you comply with SAN change control and internal audits?
