up to 80TB per hour throughput)

HPP Scalability and Performance in Action

Scalable capacity6 Usable capacity (before dedupe) scales from 48TB to 4PB per system

“Before Protection Platform, we fought to meet our backup windows. With HPP, performance has been amazing. We meet our windows and everything is clean”

“We are storing far more data in less physical space than we did with our previous deduplication system”


Consistent and predictable backup performance‒ Industry leading backup & recovery performance‒ Concurrent deduplication accelerates time to completion‒ Fastest time to safety

Even faster restores‒ Forward referencing eliminates “rehydration” when restoring‒ Restore up to twice as fast as inline technologies

Lowest costs*‒ Reduce capex up to 26% and opex up to 32% ‒ Up to 29% lower total cost of ownership

Bigger and Faster Backups at Lower Cost

* Based on 5-year TCO model against EMC Data Domain and IBM ProtecTIER


Cut backup and restore times with multiple concurrent backup and restore jobs‒ Massive parallelism backs up and restores data faster

‒ Faster wholesale recovery without reconfiguring − identical read and write profile

Ideal platform for phased transition to OST‒ Supports both VTL and OST simultaneously

‒ Leverage existing Fibre Channel infrastructure or 10GbE or both

‒ Multitenant OST storage servers support test and production as well as charge-back modeling

Transparent data-at-rest encryption for OST‒ Supports all Hitachi Data Systems arrays and all disk types

Symantec OST Optimized Duplication (Opt Dup) is used to duplicate backup images within a single NetBackup domain from 1 OST device (such as Protection Platform PBBA) to another

NetBackup manages the process, which is executed byProtection Platform

NetBackup receives the file metadata so it can update the catalogs

Leverages deduplication to replicate only unique data between the HPP devices to reduce the impact on the network between the sites

Data Transfer


Symantec Optimized Synthetic Backup is used to “synthesize” a full backup from a combination of previous full and incremental backups

Eliminates the need to perform full backups on client systems ‒ Client CPU and memory resources are used minimally

Reduces network bandwidth and storage requirements‒ Full data sets are not moved over network

‒ Leverages Protection Platform deduplication to minimizes storage used

Lowers risk and improves business RPO‒ More frequent backups means less potential for data loss

‒ Shorter backups allow multiple backups per day (approaching CDP)

Support for Optimized Synthetic Backups


Creates a restore-ready full backup6 No “FULL+INC+INC+INC” path to recovery

6 Faster recovery time improves RTO

Backups are smaller and take less time6 Improves time to safety (local copy)

Backups can be performed more often6 More restore points improves RPO

Eliminates operator errors6 Always restores from latest backup

Why Use Optimized Synthetic Backups?

Less RiskSimpler administration

Less TimeLess data to move

More AgileMore restore points


Symantec Optimized Synthetic Backups

Optimized Synthetic

Client

Todays traditional synthetic full is created by pulling data through the media server then writing the new full

image back to the device.

Optimized synthetics are created immediately by the backup appliance. NetBackup instructs which

parts of previous backups to use. Backup appliance creates a pointer map – no data movement required

Industry-Leading Symantec Integration


Protection Platform & Symantec versus the Competition


Organizations with large amounts of data‒ Scalable performance that can backup tens (or hundreds) of terabytes per day

Large database environments ‒ High speed multiplexed database backups with dedupe and rapid restores

Organizations experiencing rapid and/or significant data growth ‒ Scalable capacity to grow as their data volumes increase over time

Transitioning from traditional Symantec NetBackup to OST ‒ Simultaneous support for both NetBackup OST and traditional NetBackup with VTL‒ Ability to offsite critical data to DR data center via OST AIR or Opt Dup

Organizations supporting or transitioning between multiple backup applications‒ Simultaneous support for more than 1 backup application‒ Adjust storage allocation non-disruptively, on an as-needed basis

Where HPP and NBU Provide Superior Value


Scalability advantages‒ Data Domain fixed and limited capabilities leads to appliance sprawl,

rip-and-replace upgrades and unpredictable costs‒ Protection Platform allows pay-as-you-grow scalability of both

performance and capacity in a single system

Performance advantages‒ Inline deduplication is a bottleneck that slows backup speeds and

impacts the ability to reliably meet backup windows and restore SLAs

‒ HPP provides predictable high-speed backup and restore performance, and forward referencing means no rehydration performance penalty impacting restores from the last backup

Advantages Over Data Domain


Protection Platform’s intelligent content aware deduplication technology understands different data types

‒ Turns off deduplication for compressed, encrypted, multiplexed, multi-streamed, structured, or specific clients that would not benefit from deduplication

Data Domain’s unintelligent hashing algorithm treats all data the same

‒ Performing deduplication on unsuitable data causes low and unpredictable performance

‒ Leads to system sprawl, increased management complexity, and greater cost

More Advantages Over Data Domain


Data Domain lacks detailed reporting impacting the administrator and management’s ability to be ableto produce‒ Detailed reports by capacity, client, policy,

day, occupancy

‒ Detailed reports for replication

Protection Platform intuitive GUI and superior reporting capabilities increases management efficiency

Still More Advantages Over Data Domain


TSM backup servers are monolithic: No secondary media servers are supported, which limits both scalability and the ability to balance workloads

TSM cannot extend its resources into additional sites. With NetBackup, media servers can be put in multiple sites and manage optimized movement of backup images between them. Recovery is direct from any media server

TSM lacks any intra domain automation. Symantec OST AIR provides the ability to directly move data efficiently between domains

TSM requires ongoing reclamation and collocation. NetBackup full, incremental, differential, and synthetic backup capabilities ensure that backup data is regularly stored in a full recovery representation for rapid restoration

Advantages Over IBM® Tivoli Storage Manager


Architecture − NetBackup delivers data protection at many sites, all under the control of a single master server leveraging remote media servers. This approach enables scale, load balancing and flexibility: backup everywhere and restore anywhere

Flexible deduplication options – NetBackup provides client, media server, and target deduplication for the data center, remote office and virtual environments

OST − OpenStorage allows NetBackup to manage backup copies independently and leverage advanced features of storage subsystems (like Protection Platform)

Superior protection for VMware and Hyper-V environments − provides policy-based automation for the protection of virtual machines leveraging the latest advanced API features from VMware and Microsoft.

More Advantages Over TSM


NetBackup appliances are integrated backup devices (combined backup server, software and storage)

Protection Platform is a target dedupe device attached to a backup server. Some NBU appliances can also use HPP as a target

Protection Platform scales far beyond NBU appliances (up to 4PBs). Lots of consolidation opportunity

Protection Platform supports multiple backup servers and applications simultaneously

Many additional factors dictate the sale of Protection Platform appliances versus NBU appliances
