SUN Symantec Partnership
• Relationship for 15 years with what was Veritas and Now Symantec
• History started relationship with Veritas File System/Volume Manger and NetBackup Solutions…in fact we have had…
• Contracts in place for 13 years (2 contracts..)
– OEM - Sun price listed NBU (Any OS) & SF (Solaris)
• SUN support these levels 1-3
• More than three quarters of a billion dollars of license and support royalties since contract signed in ’1997
– Reseller – ANY Symantec product on ANY OS
• Did you know that SYMC drove >$700M/yr. in Sun IP in FY08?
• Sun is the primary development platform for all Symantec Solutions that run on the “Unix” platforms
• More than 50% of all our Storage Foundation UNIX licenses are on Sun Solaris
• More than 80% of Sun high end enterprise server customers also buy and install Storage Foundation
• Sun has over one hundred thousand service and support contracts on NetBackup and Storage Foundation
• Sun sells and supports more NBU & SF licenses than any other Symantec Partner

Review of Virtualization and Data Protection2
Smart Companies Virtualize
Virtualizing your data center brings many benefits…
…Financial: Save money by consolidating servers
…Administrative: Deploy new servers more easily
…Flexibility: Your hardware selection becomes less critical
…Disaster Recovery: Quickly restore to different locations and hardware when needed
…Agility: Make your servers move across your hardware
Challenges of the Virtualized Data Center
But new backup challenges are introduced with VMware deployments because:
– Proliferationofservers(“VMsprawl”)makesbackupconfiguration more time-consuming
– VM sprawl increases storage requirements
– New“proxyservers”andthemovementofVMsacrosshardware increases backup and restore complexity
– Backup processing is very I/O and CPU intensive, and simultaneous backups in multiple VMs can overload the ESX server
Advantages Due to Virtualization
Although virtualization brings new data protection challenges, it also brings new capabilities:
– VMware snapshotting technology(“VCB”)enableshigh-performance off-host backup
– DR can easily occur to different hardware in different locations

• 8+ year mutual interoperability and integration testing relationship including cooperative support for customers
• Joint solutions across NetBackup, Backup Exec, Storage Foundation, VCS, Enterprise Security Manager, Altiris, and Endpoint Protection

The relationship delivers results:
Not all VMs are Created Equal
Mission-CriticalVMs
• Unique Server Image
• Large data sets
• SAN/NAS attached
• App integration
Departmental
Application VMs
• Unique Server Image
• Outside datacenter
• Local storage
File/PrintVMs
• Standard image
• Large data sets
• Granular recovery important
CommodityServer VMs
• Standard image
• Less-important data
• Best-efforts recovery is sufficient
Remote OfficeVMs
• Geo dispersion
• Some critical apps
• Granular restores
Typical Virtual Machine Types:
Protection and Recovery Considerations:
• Backup: On-host (client) or off-host
• Storage: Direct-attached or SAN/NAS
• Protection: Data, VM, or VM + data
• Location: Staticor“mobile”VMs
• Recovery: VM, files, application, all
• DR: Local or remote recovery
• Vaulting: Replication or tape shipping

On-host Backup Overview
• NBU or PureDisk client in virtual machine
– Within a VM, NBU supports any standard client or agent in OS, DB, Cluster compatibility lists
– Objective: Blanket support for physical configuration in VM
– Used in non-shared storage environments
– Advantages:
• Simple implementation
• Single file backups
• DB and application backups are supported
• Restore files, appplications directly to VM
• Support for advanced NBU technologies (synthetic backups)
• PureDisk: Dedup data across VMs
On-host Backup Overview
• NBU or PureDisk client in virtual machine
– Restrictions:
• Entire VM (at OS level) restores are more complex
• Full VM (vmdk) restores not supported
• Backup processing load on one VM will negatively impact performance on entire physical server
• VM must be powered on for backup processing to occur
Off-host Backup Overview
• NBU client inside VMware Service Console
– Considered off-host since no NetBackup client (NBU or PureDisk) runs inside the VM
– Used in non-shared storage environments
– Advantages:
• Simple implementation
• Entire VM backups are supported (vmdk files)
• Entire VM restores are supported
• Service Console OS can be backed up
• Supports both LAN and SAN implementations
Off-host Backup Overview
• NBU client inside VMware Service Console
– Restrictions:
• Single (OS level) file restores cannot be performed directly from NBU console
• DB, application backups and restores are not supported
• Script creation and maintenance are likely if consistent backups of live VMs are required
• Backup processing load on one VM will negatively impact performance on entire physical server
Off-host Backup Overview
• NBU for VMware Integrated with VMware Consolidated Backup (VCB)
– Low backup impact for highly utilized ESX servers in a shared storage environment
– Advantages:
• Two restores from a single backup:
– Single file and entire VM (vmdk level) restores
– Single pass backup using NBU FlashBackup (patented)
• Integration with VMware Converter technology simplifies VM restores
• Backup impact to all VMs is minimized
• Configuration is Distributed Resource Scheduling (DRS) and VMotion aware
Off-host Backup Overview
• NBU for VMware Integrated with VMware Consolidated Backup (VCB)
– Restrictions:
• Requires shared SAN or iSCSI environment
• Requires a separate Win 2003 Proxy Server
• Live (hot) DB and application backups require additional pre- and post-backup processing to ensure data consistency
• Dedup of vmdk files through PureDisk Deduplication Option (PDDO) not recommended at this time
How does NetBackup leverage VCB?
• IfweleveragejustwhatVCBprovides…
– One policy for off-host backup of VMDK image files (VM DR)
– Another policy for off-host backup of VM user files (i.e. D: drive)
• BylayeringFlashBackupontopofVCB…
– Single FlashBackup policy for off-host backup of VMDK image files
– Granular file-level restore from VMDK images
• Integrated Policy Setup
– Wizard simplifies policy setup
– Integrated VM discovery for policy setup
• Integrated Recovery
– Integrates with VMware Convertor for VM recovery

1Backup policy alerts NetBackup that it is time to do a virtual machine backup
2NetBackup instructs VMware to snapshot the virtual machine
3The new VMDK snapshot is mounted to the NetBackup Server via the proxy driver
4Backup is then performed to any NetBackup storage device (disk, tape)
5 The VMDK snapshot is deleted
6 The backup image is then mapped for file-level recovery

7Virtual Machines can then be restored from image backups for DR

• NetBackupusesVMware’sVCBtechnology to backup only once, then maps the image backup for file-level restores
• Deduplication then can reduce storage even further – by up to 95%!
• 2x the storage
• 2x the CPU and network usage
• More than 2x the backup time!
NetBackup and VCB: Resource Consumption
• NetBackup software does not need to run on the ESX Server at all, thereby maximizing performance of ESX server
• Backup traffic travels on the abundant SAN, not the constrained LAN
• Performance hit is isolated to the dedicated backup server

• Competitive solutions require backup to run inside VMs, thereby reducing performance of the ESX Server
• LAN bandwidth becomes a key choke-point
NetBackup and VCB: Performance
AlternativesNetBackup with VCB
NetBackup with VCB Alternatives
• No penalty for running VMware: No per-VM fees, pay per ESX server
• An ESX server with 5 VMs or 20 VMs (of the same OS types) would cost the same!
• For VCB Backups: License one Enterprise Client per OS type per ESX server
• For Dedupe: Capacity-based pricing
• Per-GuestVMfee…themoreVMs,themore you pay
• No savings for moving to VMware from traditional infrastructure
• Backup server still licensed separately

NBU and VCB: License Cost and Tracking
VCB and PureDisk
• NetBackup for VMware and PDDO
– Current image format does not guarantee effective de-duplication
– Specific to VCB and vmdk image, not file-based image
• De-Dup Alternatives
– Use file-based backups and PDDO
• NBU clients in VM
– Use PD clients in VM instead of VCB
• Outside of NBU 6.5 management for dedup data
NetBackup for VMware
• Currently supported (up to 6.5.2)
– Image level VCB support for Windows, Linux
– Granular restore from image level backup (Windows)
– File-level incrementals for VCB full backups
– Proxy Server support
• Windows Server 2003 x86, x64
• Roadmap
– 1HCY09
• Hyper-V agent
– 2HCY09
• Improved PDDO vmdk deduplication *
• VCB 4.0 support
