This document discusses how organizations can reduce costs and complexity with backup-free storage. Traditional backup operations are stressed by the growth of unstructured data. Numerous systems with large files and duplicate data increase backup times and hurt production system performance. Costs and complexity rise as more backup instances, tapes, and offsite storage need managing. Archiving static data to reduce total backup volume by at least 30% can help address these issues. Attending the webcast discussed would allow learning how to lower expenses, control maintenance costs, simplify management complexity, and reduce backup volumes, times, costs and effort through backup-free storage approaches.

Reduce Costs and Complexity with Backup-Free Storage

2. The growth in unstructured data stresses traditional backup and restore operations.
Numerous, disparate systems with large numbers of files and duplicate copies of data
increase backup and restore times and hurt the performance and availability of
production systems. Cost and complexity rise, with more backup instances to buy and
manage, more care and handling of an increasing numbers of tapes, and more
management of offsite storage. In addition, you may need to support analytics, a
compliance audit, or legal action that needs information that is stored offsite. By tiering
data to an archive, you can reduce total backup volume by at least 30%. By extending
that core archive to the edges of your business, your potential gains are worth
investigating.
Attend this webcast to learn how to:
Lower capital expenses (hardware, software, licensing, and so on).
Control maintenance costs.
Simplify management complexity.
Reduce backup volume, time, cost, and administrative effort.

Quantitative vs. Subjective
Analysis
‒ Do we really archive and analyze enough
data?
‒ Is Google approach right when they say
“organize the worlds information and
make it universally accessible and
useful”.
‒ Subjective analysis is key
Why Hitachi?
‒ Right archive portal for all data
‒ Extended Metadata to provide subjective
analysis from many quarters
DATA ARCHIVE AND ANALYSIS EXAMPLE
6. BACKUP BUSINESS CHALLENGES
Unstructured data growth and management
‒ 75% to 90% of data is unstructured
‒ 50% of unstructured data is inactive after 6 months
‒ Requires unique capabilities for archive management
Costs to maintain unstructured data
‒ Maintaining backups
‒ Recovery
‒ Space
‒ Power and cooling
‒ Resistance to change − “we’ll be fine”
Meeting SLA’s
‒ RPO and RTO recovery
‒ Backup Windows
Control of data
‒ Remote sites
‒ Public clouds (Dropbox)

BACKUP OPERATIONAL CHALLENGES:

9. ARCHIVE FIRST BACKUP LESS
Migrating static content to the EA can significantly reduce backup
workload
‒ File servers typically employ weekly full backup strategy
‒ Archiving reduces size of weekly full copies
‒ Archiving negates the need to retain monthly, quarterly, etc..
copies
‒ Less data to backup and less data to recover makes it easier to hit
SLA targets
WHY ARCHIVE IS ARCHIVE AND BACKUP IS BACKUP
10. REAL COST OF BACKUP - CALCULATOR
Tape media cost (8-10 copies of data on tapes)
Tape library cost
Backup software cost
Manpower cost
Cost of moving tapes offsite
Support and Maintenance cost of tape library & backup software
Backup just looks cheap but it is an expensive process
