Executive summaryToday’s organizations are embracing virtual and cloud infrastructure
as new models for the ecient delivery of IT services. These new
approaches help IT eciently meet the accelerated demands of
their business. However, additional challenges are emerging in
how to ensure the right protection of data and applications inthese environments. IT organizations are nding it dicult to meet
stringent business SLAs for mission-critical data recovery in virtual
data center environments. HP Data Protector, an enterprise-class
backup and recovery solution, helps organizations meet these
challenges with fully-automated, policy-based protection for
VMware based cloud environments.
Data protection challenges inincreasingly virtualized data centersWith over 50 percent of workloads now deployed in virtualized
infrastructure, IT organizations are increasingly leveraging mission
critical applications in these virtual environments to maximizeresource utilization and reduce overall cost of operations. VMware,
the leading vendor in virtualization, oers advanced tools to
manage, monitor, and maintain virtual server environments as
the typical IT operation grows in size and complexity. The success
of virtualization is the basis of a new model for the delivery of
IT services— infrastructure-as-a -service (IaaS). In addition to
the standardization that comes with virtualization, IaaS enables
workload provisioning and consumption in a matter of minutes.
While these new deployment models enable IT to meet the
accelerated demands of business users, the typical backup
and recovery challenges are even more pronounced in these
environments and must be addressed. These challenges exist mainly
around the impact of backup and recovery processes on productionenvironments. In additional to these traditional challenges, a
large virtual environment can have thousands of virtual machines
running the same operating system (e.g., Microsoft® Windows or
Linux). The duplication of information within virtualized data stores
drives enormous consumption of backup storage resources and
associated capital expenditures. Additionally, virtual data centers
are inherently dynamic; there is always a r isk that not all mission
critical information is adequately protected—a result of backupadministrators being unaware of all the changes occurr ing in these
environments.
HP Data Protector: Simplifying backupand recovery through advancedintegrationThe potential growth in deployment of virtualization in data
centers puts data protection at center stage as a key challenge.
HP Data Protector, the agship enterprise on-premise backup and
recovery software, addresses the challenges of enterprise class
data protection in virtual environments. HP Data Protector fullyintegrates with VADP (VMware API for Data Protection), empowering
you to easily deploy and execute advanced backup and recovery
processes for your virtual environments. Advanced snapshot
functionality provides zero impact protection of mission-critical
applications to meet even the most demanding business SLAs.
Powered by HP StoreOnce, HP Data Protector oers federated
deduplication that maximizes storage eciency and recovery
performance in virtualized environments across premise-based and
cloud infrastructure.
Maximize backup efciency with HP StoreOnce Federateddeduplication
Powered by the industry’s most powerful deduplication technology,
HP StoreOnce, HP Data Protector delivers high-performance andresource-ecient data protection that improves storage util ization

across the virtual data center while reducing the overall cost. The
combined HP Data Protector software and HP StoreOnce Backup
appliance solution enables federated deduplication, which gives
you the exibility of tri-location deduplication: at the application
source, backup server, or backup target device (See Figure 1). A
federated approach to deduplication supports the compelling notion
that your organization should only have to deduplicate informationonce—and to do so eciently. Integration with HP StoreOnce
Catalyst interface enables HP Data Protector to centrally manage
low-bandwidth data replication across multiple virtual data centers
for disaster recovery.
Typical virtual data centers have hundreds of virtual machines, and
many are based on similar VM templates. This scenario creates very
high levels of redundant information across virtual machines. HP
StoreOnce utilizes innovative and powerful techniques to minimize
the amount of information stored in the backup target, and this
capability reduces the cost of storage in virtual data centers.
Additionally, because HP StoreOnce is application-agnostic, it
provides deduplication support for a wide array of mission-critical
applications.
Eliminate existing protection gaps with one-touchprotection
HP Data Protector software automates the protection of VMware
environments via its one-touch backup policy conguration. VMware
administrators can easily add, create, or change their virtual data
centers to suit the needs of a dynamic enterprise environment.
However, they often fail to communicate these changes to
the backup administrator, leaving vSphere or vCloud Director
environments unprotected. HP Data Protector addresses this issue:
one click allows you to select the entire virtual environment and
automatically identify and apply your backup policies to new virtual
machines as they come online or failover (See Figure 2).
In addition, Data Protector can be congured to automatically tune
backup performance for vSphere and vCloud Direc tor by determining
the most ecient way to back up data. Data Protector provides a
variety of one-touch options that allow the backup administrator totune their backup conguration policy to suit individual performance
and availability needs. This capability guarantees that when new
virtual machines or vApps are created, they will be immediately
added to a protection policy, which means no virtual server goes
unprotected.
Instant recovery through array-based snapshot protection
HP Data Protector simplies application protection in both physical
and virtual environments through its integrated application
extensions, Zero Downtime Backup, and Instant Recovery. Through a
single, highly-ecient application agent, HP Data Protector provides
down-to-the-second recovery for all mission critical applications,
including Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SQL server, Microsoft
SharePoint, Oracle, and SAP. Zero Downtime Backup allows you totake advantage of array-based snapshots to back up the virtual
environment at any time with zero impact to the production
environment. In VMware environments, all supported applications
running in a VM can be protected as frequently as required, because
all backups are processed by the storage array. HP Data Protector
maintains snapshots on the disk array for use by HP Data Protector
Instant Recovery, which allows you to stage application-consistent
snapshots and recover data and applications in seconds—
automating the entire process to meet even the most demanding
recovery time objectives.

HP Data Protector provides snapshot support for both HP and non-
HP arrays, including the HP StorageWorks P2000, P4000, EVA, and
P3000, HP 3PAR, EMC CLARiiON, EMC Symmetrix DMX, and Network
Appliance.
Granular Recovery Extension for VMware
HP Data Protector Granular Recovery Extension (GRE) promotes self-service recovery by empowering VMware administrators to recover
single items without burdening the backup administrator. VMware
administrators can manage their own recovery requests, eliminating
the need for a backup administrator or helpdesk support person
to assist in recovering single items (for example single les within
a virtual disk le or VMDK le) in their vSphere environment. The
GRE for VMware enables VMware administrators to recover single
les, directories, and VMs directly from the vSphere console without
requiring any access or knowledge about HP Data Protector (See
Figure 3); the vSphere administrator merely needs rights granted to
restore their VMs. Data Protector GRE capability helps improve end-
user productivity by enabling IT to meet recovery SLAs in VMware
environments without increasing cost.
Enabling data protection in vCloudDirector environmentsHP Data Protector delivers fully automated, policy-based protection
for a spectrum of congurations within VMware vCloud Director
environments, enabling service providers to oer exible protection
options within a single multitenant cloud environment (See Figure
4). With one-touch protection, you can eliminate existing protection
gaps and reduce the risk of data loss exposure as business critical
backup policies are automatically applied to new virtual machines
and vApps within a highly dynamic virtual data center. This capability
simplies IT management responsibilities by eliminating the need
for continuous monitoring and tracking. Additionally, organizations
can maximize storage eciency for VM backup by leveraging
HP Data Protectors ability to deduplicate data anywhere—at
the application source, backup server, or target appliance—and
centrally manage the deduplicated data movement across the
enterprise for disaster recovery.
From a VMware administrator perspective, this integration provides
the ability to browse the vCloud Director setup and conguration
within the HP Data Protector management interface. This enables
organizations that have a more complex environment, perhaps with
multiple vCenter servers, to manage protection across management
instances.
