Webinar and presentation recorded on June 21st (IBM Spectrum Protect User Grop).
It’s no longer good enough for your virtual machine backup solution to just do the backup. It also needs to be API-driven to integrate with agile development processes. There are multiple reasons to modernize your backup infrastructure including; lower costs, better RPOs / RTOs, more modern management, new cloud capabilities and business agility. Businesses need the ability to have access to a copy of data for more than just data protection, but for DevOps, Analytics or Reporting. They need a modern solution that provides automation and secure user self-service that puts data in the hands of the people that need it fast. Join this session to see how “backup” can take you "beyond" and enable a competitive business.

• Catalog only gets created when a backup
job runs – reactive
• Finding anything in a traditional backup
catalog is extremely difficult
Reactive vs Proactive Protection

Which Would You Prefer
Traditional Backup Modern Data Protection
• Catalog gets created after install and VM
or application registration – proactive
• Backup Admin creates SLA policy
• VM and application admins can tag their
VM or app to automatically be protected

Risk
- Understanding data loss/corruption
- Reputation exposure
Costs
- Revenue loss due to downtime
- Large expense due to workers not working
Downtime
- Inability to work due to no data access
- Recovery time could equal costly rework time
Recovery (steps to get data back fast)

- Find most recent copy of this data
- Depending on where the data is or the
type of failure:
▪ Begin restore from disk / tape
• Depending on data set size, streaming
recovery could take a long time
▪ If data is on tape stored off site
• Contact holding company
• Have tapes delivered as soon as possible
(typically at least 24 hours)
• Load tapes in library
• Being restore – streaming restore from
tape can take a long time

- Recover instantly from replicated snap
copy (virtual)
- Recovery from replicated backup copy
(physical)

Traditional Backup Infrastructure
Data Event: Data Reuse
Risk
- Disrupted by market forces
- Market share loss
Costs
- Missed market opportunities
- Lack of insight into the busienss
- Profit erosion
- Increase IT costs due to Shadow IT
Data Access
- Frustrated with data access requests to IT
- Can’t get access to data quickly
- Can’t get access to fresh data sets
- Often make replicate data copies
▪ Sometimes to the Cloud – Shadow IT
▪ Difficult to keep track of
▪ Violates corporate governance policies
- Once data is obtained, still need to provision
systems and application
Data Access (steps to provide data access)
- Argue with LoB reason for request
- Identify data being requested
- Find the data
- Find a secure location to put the data that
doesn’t impact production
- Find location that has needed capacity
- Stream the “data” to the proper location
- “Try” to track this data (difficult and typically it
chews up valuable disk space)
- Note: This is just the data, not the
application

Questions to Ask Yourself?
24
Do you have a modernization strategy for your data protection environment? What
is driving this?
Tell me a bit about your SLA objectives for your protected data?
What is the role of “data reuse” in your environment?
What is the process when making data available for data reuse?
Would automation / orchestration help play a key role in supporting an auto recovery or data reuse solution?
What is your cloud strategy when it comes to data protection OR data reuse?

• By 2021, 50% of organizations will augment or replace their current backup
application with another solution, compared to what they deployed at the
beginning of 2017.
• By 2020, 30% of large enterprises will leverage snapshots and backup for
more than just operational recovery (e.g., disaster recovery, test/development,
DevOps, etc.), up from less than 15% at the beginning of 2017.
• By 2020, the number of enterprises using the cloud as a backup target will
double, up from 10% at the beginning of 2017.
• By 2021, over 50% of organizations will supplant backup with archiving for
long-term data retention, up from 30% in 2017.
For Many Organizations, Backup is Either Breaking or Broken

30. IBM Storage & SDI
• Data access from backups is much like the “copy data management” market
• Good News: The Copy Data Management Market is Starting to Go Mainstream1
• Do you need access to data for other business projects?
o Are you building out a test/dev or DevOps environment for agile development?
o Do you want / need a better DR process?
o Do you have needs in the company to run analytics across production data but don’t want to
impact the performance or can’t change the data?
o Do you run reports against production data for things like billing or other real time decision
making?
• Each one of these requires access to a copy of production data – this is available to you
now – simply and easily with self-service with IBM Spectrum Protect Plus
