Who Is
• Largest national online data backup and recovery service provider
• Servicing over 300 customers who currently back up more than 3,000 servers while protecting over 170TB of data daily
• Vaults are located in secure data protection sites in Waltham, MA and Philadelphia, PA
• Offices in: Boston, New York, New Jersey, Baltimore/ Washington, Philadelphia and Atlanta
amerivault corp
Electronic VaultingA lights out, automated electronic solution that securely transports backup data on a nightly basis, over the Internet, to a remote Mass Storage Vault housed in a secure facility to ensure recoverability
This is accomplished by utilizing delta processing, at the block level, to move the data within a reduced time window. This also guarantees a nightly full backup
Significant Business Trends• Shift from mainframe to distributed processing
• Exponential growth in data storage - 60% to 100%
• Telecom deregulation drives choice, price and availability
• The Internet Phenomenon – Global Reach made easy
• High Availability Requirements
• E-commerce – SAP, CRM, ERP, etc.
• Killer APPs are Memory Hogs
Why Reliable Data Backup and Recoverability Is Essential
• 93% of companies experience data storage problems• 51% of those with problems are not fixing them • 54% of companies are experiencing information loss
• Business-wide, hourly downtime, +/- $78K/yr• Following an Event 43% of companies never reopen; 29%
close within 2 years• 80% of first Tape Backup Recoverability Tests fail
according to assorted studies by AT&T, DRJ, SunGard, BTI Computer Systems and Ernst & Young
Potential Downtime Results• Impacted cash flow
• Possible loss of customers
• Erosion of image
• Loss of market share
• Possible regulatory violations
• Loss of investor confidence
• Loss of competitive edge
• Data is an irreplaceable strategic asset
• Destruction of data could result in catastrophic financial loss
• IT management must put safeguards in place to protect mission critical data
THE NEED TO SAFEGUARD DATA
Pop Quiz: Question #1
Name 2 Significant Business Trends as previously mentioned?
CURRENT BACKUP SYSTEMS DO NOT:
• Ease management of distributed systems
• Transport data off-site to a secure location
• Provide high availability of data for restoration
• Reduce or eliminate points of failure
• Reduce operating costs
• Compress the backup window
THE PROBLEM
• Backups may not occur regularly• Media remains on site in harm’s way• Restores sometimes can’t be executed• Backups fail due to equipment malfunction• Backup/restores fail because of media issues• Human error may derail process• Downtime costs are significant
THE PROBLEMCURRENT BACKUP SYSTEMS DO NOT:
ONLINE DATA BACKUP:A lights-out, fully automated solution to
securely transport data on a customized pre-determined basis, over existing Internet
bandwidth, to a secure remote vault facility
(aka Electronic Vaulting or E-vaulting)
THE SOLUTION
Network Architecture
• Only the changed blocks of a file are transmitted to complete the backup
• The Process capitalizes on the small percentage change in data between backups
• 1:4 percent of data changes daily; changed blocks are 1:4 percent of data-set to be backed up
• Every backup is a full backup yet significantly faster than an Incremental or Differential
The Architecture:DELTA PROCESSING
Delta Processing1:4 percent of 1:4 percent
Security:Client
• Push technology• Block level delta
processing• Levels of encryption• Firewall configuration• VPN option• CRC error checking• E-mail notification
Vault Systems and Security
• LSI or EMC in a SAN• Full redundancy• RAID 5 array• Multi layered firewall• Anti-intrusion system• 3rd party monitoring• Backup of the backup
