Solution: HP D2D 4112 "expandable" storage, good performance, backup application Object Copy to small physical tape library for archiving and disaster recovery. Caveats: Preferred offload to physical tape is via backup application "object copy" functionality for maximum physical tape usage efficiency. ISVs: Typically HP Data Protector, Symatec Netbackup, Tivoli Storage Manager, EMC Networker, Commvault, Backup Exec, etc. For a full list see http://www.hp.com/go/connect and http:// www.hp.com/go/ebs. Device configuration highlights: Consider configuring multiple virtual libraries for different data types (office files, MSExchange databases) across multiple host servers to get the best possible performance and deduplication ratio. Backup application configuration highlights: Run multiple backups in parallel for best throughput. Figure 19 Large SME Site Consolidation Requiring FC Shared Devices . Recovery options: Depending on retention periods set, it is possible to recover all data directly from D2D device over extended periods (3-6 months). If backup data on D2D is regularly copied to physical tape and off-sited, there is a Disaster Recovery solution available also. Solution advantages: • Effective consolidation for SME • Allows backup window to be reduced • Scalable using D2D4112 - up to 24 virtual devices can be created • Single management point with Backup Application for D2D & physical tape • Flexible - some backups to physical tape, some to D2D if required • Disaster recovery solution included via Physical tape offsiting Solution trade-offs: Using backup software to do D2D to tape copies attracts extra licencing costs. Other information: In this example we are using the backup example to copy data from D2D to physical tape because the environment is significantly larger and a single point of management is required for all backup and copy operations. Physical media usage is also a priority. These requirements are best served by using object copy functionality within the backup application itself. This will attract higher licencing costs, however. 62 D2D Systems
