CPAP.com’s Virtual Environment
• Primary and Secondary sites• 62 VMs in Primary and 12 in Secondary• 5 Host servers 3 Primary and 2 Secondary• Hypervisors
– VMware ESXi 5.5– Citrix XenServer
• Primary Site Storage– EMC VNX 5300– Nexenta ZFS Server for backups– 10gbe SAN connections
• Secondary Site Storage– Nexenta ZFS Server– MD3000i for backups
CPAP.com’s Backup and DR Environment
• Primary site– PHDVBA backed to Nexenta
• Secondary site– PHDVBA backed to MD3000i
• Reliable DR– 10mb connection– Running a mix of live and CRP jobs
• Servers needing immediate DR run as often as every 15 minutes• CRP is used for servers that only need a daily DR• All servers tested for boot and start of daemons• Network change scripts run to verify connectivity
• Backup archiving– For servers only needing an offsite copy with no testing we push from site to site with
the PHDVB archive function
IT Department
• 3 people in IT Department serving 110 users
Objectives
• Consistent experience in the backup environment across Hypervisors
Other Vendors/Solutions Considered
• Veeam– More expensive
• Vmware Data Protection– Decent software but not flexible
PHD Virtual
• Discovered while researching Veeam.• Many good reviews• Working with the sales and engineering team
was a breeze• During implementation any issue we found was
dealt with quickly and successfully– This went so far as getting the coding group into a
Linux issue for RDR checks
PHD Virtual
• The level of support was and continues to be phenomenal
Reasons Why PHD was Chosen
• Cost, much more reasonable• RDR, replication and testing of mission critical VM’s• Set it and forget it unless you need to change or add
something.
Metrics and Results
• Dedupe Ratio of 20:1 on the primary site and 34:1 on the secondary
• 31 TB of backups stored in only 1.5TB of space– This includes the retention policies we have to
comply with HIPAA

PHD Virtual CloudHook
What is it?– Separately licensed feature in
PHDVB 6.2 that allows a VBA to connect to cloud storage for backup and archive
Why it is important? Offsite storage of backups is complex and costly!
– Provides an easy to use, scalable, low-cost offsite storage option
– Flexibility to choose from several different popular cloud platforms
– Decreases risk of losing data in an outage
– Frees up time to focus on higher priority projects
Disaster Recovery Assurance
Old solutions to DR preparedness are complex, costly & time consuming
– Testing takes significant manual effort and time – Many DR testing methods are not reliable.
– Many DR testing solutions are expensive• Gartner Group $30k-$40k up to $100k per test
PHD Virtual Disaster Recovery Assurance– Aligns IT with, and supports, business continuity planning– Guarantees failover of virtualized applications across clouds– Provides 100% automated DR exercising– Enforces recovery point objectives – Tracks recovery time objectives
