Exchange 2010 Architecture: Database
Availability Group (DAG)
• Defines scope of replication Client Access Server

• Consists of up to 16 mailbox
servers
• Only 1 copy of a database is Active
Manager

active, all other copies are
passive
• An org can have multiple
DAGs

Database Availability Group


EMC value proposition for Exchange Storage
Exchange 2010 Brings: EMC makes Exchange Better:
• Contiguous Mailboxes • Capacity as needed
• Removal of SIS • Higher density storage
• Background Database • Storage Processors built
Maintenance (BDM) for high bandwidth
• 64KB and 256KB disk operations
operations • Storage Pools ideally
suited for consolidated
queue operations


Instant Recovery using disk replicas
ROLES-BASED  Exchange
Empower end users,  SQL Server
DBAs, report teams,  SharePoint
analytics teams.
Replica 1

Replica 2

VIRTUALIZATION
OPTIMIZED
Replica 3

Works with both Hyper-
V and VMware.
Replica 4

Replication Manager discovers and automates mounting,
dismounting, scheduling, and expiration of disk-based storage copies
for backup and repurposing


Single Mailbox Restore with Exchange Replica
• Leverages Exchange replica
for single mailbox restores
• Easy to use—wizard driven
• Search and view Exchange
replica:
– Individual mailboxes
– Messages
– Attachments

• Extract selections back to
production Exchange server
or to new/existing PST file in
another location
• Streamlines individual
mailbox restore


SharePoint Granular Recovery
http://team
• Item-level recovery of SharePoint
Team1 Team2 Team3
content
• Recovers the wide range of SharePoint
content, such as site collections, sites,
libraries, and documents
• Recovers all versions and metadata
• Recovers to original location, alternate
servers, or file system location
• Easy recovery using search and drag-
and-drop

Boosting Performance in Microsoft
Environment


Exchange 2010: Impact on Storage

• IOPS per Heavy User
– Exchange 2003: 1 IOPS per user
– Exchange 2007: 0.48 per user
– Exchange 2010: 0.2 per user
• Block Size
– Exchange 2003/2007: 8KB
– Exchange 2010: 32KB for Write
• Exchange 2010: BDM causes 256KB Read IO
• IOPS are less but let’s not forget BDM load

Exchange Solution Review Program for Storage Platforms

• Introduced to facilitate Exchange storage testing, validation and publishing of solution
results.
• These tests are designed to measure the storage subsystems performance and
reliability.
• EMC is an active and clear leader in this program.


Performance in a SQL World
Older approaches are inefficient for SQL workloads

Short stroked & striped Aggregating Mechanical Drives
Disk Disk Disk Disk Disk Using a lot of spindles for IOPS
results in low capacity utilization
Poor utilization

Flash Drives
Flash Flash Flash
Flash drives are faster than
mechanical disks – but expensive
Better utilization… but $$$


FAST Cache
• More than twice the performance improvement in
Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft Sharepoint
environments
FAST Cache • Real-time reaction to unexpected workload peaks
– Extends existing memory cache
– Up to 2TB

Bringing Protection in Microsoft Environment


Microsoft Application Protection
Requirements

• Minimal or no application
impact
• Frequent recovery points
• Easy and reliable recovery


Introducing EMC NetWorker
• Centralized management
• Industry-leading data
deduplication
• Advanced application support
• Broad backup-to-disk capabilities
• Virtual and physical coverage
• Reliable recoverability


NetWorker Module for Microsoft
Applications
• Single module for Microsoft
SharePoint applications
Exchange SQL
• Volume Shadow Copy
Data Protection
Manager Service (VSS)-based
• Integrated deduplication
VSS

• EMC storage integration
• Removes backup impact
Active Directory Hyper-V
from production hosts
Windows Server
• Enables quick recovery


DR Strategies
Host-Based Storage-Based

Host Asynchronous Replication


DB1 Copy

DB1 Copy Copy Copy DB2

Copy Copy DB3 DB3 Copy

Copy DB2 Copy Storage Synchronous Replication


Benefits of Storage-Based Replication
 Zero data loss synchronous replication
 Free up servers to serve E-Mail
 Failovers are much faster
 Reduce network load
 Only one copy per site
 DVR-like recovery


EMC Replication Enabler for Exchange
• DAG uses log shipping for native asynchronous replication and requires third-
party solution for synchronous replication
• Microsoft has provided a new API for third-party replication products to
integrate with Exchange 2010 to offer synchronous replication

• Free plug-in for Exchange 2010 that works with Microsoft Synchronous
Replication API
• Replaces host-based Exchange 2010 log shipping with storage-based
replication

EMC is the first and only storage vendor to offer
synchronous storage based replication using
Microsoft’s Synchronous Replication API

Data Loss Threat In Microsoft Environment

• Data breaches have reached record levels –
Companies face growing 245M exposed records due
risks of data leaks & to breaches since 2005.
• Cost of compliance is a significant burden and
increase in compliance continues to grow
requirements

Balance required between security
Data must be protected, and accessibility
but also be accessible Increasingly need to enable use of information
across company boundaries (partners,
vendors, customers)
