What is a company’s most important asset?

Employees?

Patents?

Reputation?

DATA

What Are Your Choices For Backup Storage

Tape

Disk

Disk Backup with Deduplication

Cloud

exagrid.com | 5

Tape for Backup

Performance – Slow backup and restore

Reliability – Less than disk

Cost – Low to moderate

Where does Tape fit?

• Long-term “regulatory” retention

• “Archive”

exagrid.com | 6

Disk for Backup

Performance - Fast

Reliability - High

Cost - High

Where does Disk fit?

• Primary storage

exagrid.com | 7

Disk Backup with Deduplication

Performance – moderate to fast

Reliability - high

Cost – low to high

Where does Disk backup with Deduplication fit?

• “Operational” retention

• “Regulatory” retention

exagrid.com | 8

Cloud for Backup

Performance - slow

Reliability - high

Cost – moderate to high

Where does Cloud fit?

• DR or “archive” copy of backups

3-2-1 Backup Rule

Maintain at least three copies of your backups

Store backups on at least two different types of media

Keep one of the backups at a different location1

Traditional Backup Storage Challenges

As data grows:• Time to backup grows• Time to restore grows• Time to offsite grows

• System breaks – Resulting in disruptive fork lift upgrade

5 Considerations of Data Deduplication

exagrid.com | 12

Disk Backup with Deduplication

Architectural Approaches

• Deduplication in the backup software to straight disk

• Inline deduplication with scale-up

• Landing zone with scale-out

exagrid.com | 13

Challenges of Software-based Deduplication

• Deduplication in the media server

• All data stored deduplicated

• Deduplication ratios are low

• Limited scalability

exagrid.com | 14

Inline Scale-up Appliances Fall Short

• Inline deduplication on the way to disk

• All data is stored in deduplicated form

• As data grows, only disk is added

• Restores are slow as data needs rehydration

exagrid.com | 15

Fastest Backups and Shortest Backup Window

Unique landing zone• Write backups direct to disk• Adaptive deduplication

Benefits• Fastest backups• Shortest possible backup window• Strong offsite RPO

exagrid.com | 16

Fast Restores, VM Boots in Seconds to Minutes

Unique landing zone• Most recent backups are in

undeduplicated form• Eliminates data rehydration

Benefits• Restores as fast as disk• Tape copies as fast as disk• VM boots in seconds to minutes

DR Scenarios

Data Center

Infrastructure to a Backup App

2nd Site

Hosted Co-Location

Hybrid Cloud

Public Cloud

Insulating your company from Ransomware

The true cost of a ransomware goes far beyond the ransom• lost productivity • loss of data• loss of customer confidence• Go right out of business

Protecting your company from Ransomware Backup your data

• Maintain at least three copies of your backups• Store backups on at least two different types of media• Keep one of the backups at a different location• Encrypt your backups at rest• Tape

Educate employee to just “ignore” suspicious emails or links• Test emails• Simulated attacks

Patch systems regularly Block appropriately (FW) Antivirus software
